The Recommended Reading Order

While the Beachwood Bay books can technically be read as standalones, they feature a tightly knit, recurring cast of characters in a small coastal town. To get the best experience and watch the characters' lives unfold naturally, we highly recommend reading them in publication order. This path also ensures you read the duets and subseries in their proper sequence.

Beachwood Bay: The Original Couples

The series begins by introducing the core residents of Beachwood Bay, North Carolina. Start here to meet the town's resident bad boy and the stories of healing that set the tone for the entire series.

Frequently Asked

QWhere is the best place to start reading Beachwood Bay?

The ideal starting point is Untouched, a prequel novella that introduces Juliet and Emerson. It is directly followed by the full-length novel Unbroken.

QCan I read the Callahan books without reading the rest of the Beachwood Bay series?

Yes, you can jump straight into the Callahans subseries starting with Unrequited and Uninhibited. However, reading the previous books will give you a richer understanding of the supporting characters.
