How to Read the Brown Siblings Series
The core Brown Siblings series (also officially known as the Brown Family series) is a contemporary erotic romance saga that follows the tightly knit Brown family and their close friends. Because the character relationships develop continuously over time, the recommended reading order is the publication order, which also serves as the chronological order for the main series.
The Core Brown Family Reading Order
This sequence introduces the primary siblings—Erin, Brody, and Adrian—and wraps up with their close circle:
- Laid Bare (2009) – Features Erin Brown, Todd Keenan, and Ben Copeland.
- Coming Undone (2010) – Features Brody Brown and Elise Sorenson.
- Inside Out (2010) – Features Andrew "Cope" Copeland and Ella Tipton.
