Where to Start with the Brentwood Boys

Meghan Quinn's Brentwood Boys series is a collection of sports romance novels that are best read in publication order. While each book focuses on a different couple and is written as a standalone story, characters frequently reappear, and their personal journeys develop across the series. Reading in order allows you to follow the camaraderie of the teammates and the running jokes that carry over from book to book.

We recommend starting with the first book, The Locker Room, which introduces the core cast of characters and the legend of the Brentwood University locker room—a mystical place rumored to guarantee marriage to any couple who shares a romantic moment inside it.
