The Best Reading Path: Where to Start

For the best reading experience, you should start with the book that launched the family saga: Always Mine. This book introduces Asher Barrington and Emily Harris, setting up the family dynamics, the secrets, and the elite Boston backdrop. Following the series in publication order is highly recommended, as character lives progress, secrets unravel, and couples from previous books make frequent appearances.

Subseries, Spin-Offs, and Connections

The Landon Family Duology

Directly continuing the family saga, this two-book subset focuses on the Landon branch of the family tree and should be read after the main Reluctant series books:

  • Loving a Landon (2021)
  • Loathing a Landon (2022)

The Driverton Subseries

The Driverton books follow the main Barrington series and dive into a fresh set of billionaire storylines:

  • Everette: Driverton 1 (2023)
  • Levi: Driverton 2 (2024)
  • Ollie: Driverton 3 (2024)

The Andrade Series Crossovers

The Barrington family are narrative cousins to the Andrade family from Cardello’s original Andrade series (and The Legacy Collection). Reading the Andrade books first isn't required, but it gives deeper context to the family cameos.

The Synchronized Family Universe

One of the most unique aspects of the Barrington Billionaires is the collaboration between Ruth Cardello, her sister Jeannette Winters, and their niece Danielle Stewart. Each author writes their own independent Barrington Billionaires books. While they are written to stand alone, they share a synchronized timeline, a unified setting, and characters who crossover seamlessly. A prime example is the holiday collection A Billionaire for Lexi, which includes interconnected novellas by all three authors.
