The Recommended Reading Order for Blue Steele

To follow Blue's evolution from a Texas-born private investigator to a hardened bounty hunter, the best path is to read the series in publication order. While the prequel short story First Capture takes place chronologically first, starting with the original novel Bounty Hunter provides the perfect introduction to Blue's personality, her complex relationship with her boyfriend Ramon, and her search for her missing Texas Ranger father.

Blue Steele Books in Publication Order

Here is the order in which the Blue Steele books were originally released:

  1. Bounty Hunter (2013) – Blue tracks down her first major bail jumper, Vincent Caine, for a $10,000 bounty.
  2. Broken (2013) – Blue mentors a young protégé named Blondie while a serial killer begins targeting bounty hunters.
  3. Vengeance (2013) – The search for a deadly terrorist takes Blue Steele across the globe to Europe.
  4. First Capture (2014) – A prequel short story detailing Blue's very first arrest.
  5. That Which Doesn't Kill Me (2014) – Blue faces new physical and emotional trials as her past catches up with her.
  6. On The Hunt (2014) – High-stakes tracking pushes Blue's bounty hunter skills to their absolute limit.
  7. Past Sins (2016) – A major crossover event where Blue teams up with characters from Remington Kane's broader universe.
  8. Daddy's Girl (2018) – The emotional series finale that pits Blue against a mirror image of herself.

Understanding the Chronological Order vs. Publication Order

If you prefer a strictly chronological reading experience, you should start with the short story First Capture, which takes place before the events of Bounty Hunter. However, because First Capture was published later, it acts more like a nostalgic flashback for established fans. Reading it fourth (in publication order) is highly recommended.

The Broader Remington Kane Universe

Author Remington Kane (the pen name of Donald Wells) is famous for building a shared universe across his thriller series. The seventh book, Past Sins, is a massive treat for fans as it features crossover appearances by the titular assassin from the Tanner series, characters from the Taken! series, and investigators from the Caliber Detective Agency. For the ultimate continuity, Past Sins takes place between books 15 and 16 of the main Tanner series.
