Where to Start Reading

For the best experience, readers should start at the very beginning with Sawyer (also published under the title Finally Home). Starting here establishes the tight-knit community of Buckhorn, Kentucky, and introduces the founding family dynamics that carry through every single installment.

Buckhorn Brothers / Sawyer Family Publication Order

While the books can generally be enjoyed as standalones, reading them in publication order is highly recommended to prevent spoilers and to watch the town's next generation grow up. Here is the recommended path:

  • Sawyer / Finally Home (2000) – Centers on the town doctor Sawyer Hudson, a single dad, and Honey Malone.
  • Morgan (2000) – Features gruff sheriff Morgan Hudson and Honey's sister, Misty Malone.
  • Gabe (2000) – Follows Gabe Kasper and Elizabeth Parks.
  • Jordan (2000) – Follows Jordan Sommerville and Georgia.
  • Casey / The Buckhorn Legacy (2002) – Centers on Sawyer’s son, Casey Hudson, as an adult.
  • Animal Attraction / Shohn (2013) – Shohn Hudson's story originally appeared as the novella Buckhorn Ever After in the Animal Attraction anthology in 2013, later published as the standalone ebook Shohn.
  • Garrett / Back to Buckhorn (2014) – Follows Garrett Hudson (son of Morgan and Misty) and Darcy Bowman.
  • A Buckhorn Bachelor (2016) – Focuses on Adam Sommerville (Jordan's brother) and Lily.
  • A Buckhorn Baby (2017) – Follows Amber Hudson (daughter of Morgan and Misty) and firefighter Noel Poet.
  • Gray (2017) – Also published as A Buckhorn Summer, featuring ex-cop Gray Neely and Lisa Sommerville.
  • Tucker (2018) – Centers on sheriff Tucker Turley and Kady Kaspar (daughter of Gabe Kasper).
  • Boone (2019) – Follows Boone Barton and April Kasper.
  • Jax (2020) – Follows Jax Remmy and Briana Kasper.

Chronological Caveats and Surnames

Because these books feature recurring appearances and cameos from previous couples, the chronological timeline matches the publication order exactly. The different surnames of the original brothers—Hudson, Kasper, and Sommerville—reflect their deep familial bond, loyalty, and shared upbringing under their guardian rather than a shared biological father. In later books, the family tree expands with Gabe Kasper's daughters (Kady, April, and Briana) and Morgan Hudson's children (Garrett and Amber) taking center stage.

Frequently Asked

QDo I need to read the Buckhorn Brothers series in order?

While each book features a self-contained romance, it is highly recommended to read them in publication order. The characters from earlier books frequently appear as supporting cast members in later titles, and reading out of order will spoil previous plotlines.

QWho are the original four Buckhorn brothers?

The original four brothers who kick off the series in 2000 are Sawyer Hudson, Morgan Hudson, Gabe Kasper, and Jordan Sommerville.

QHow is Casey related to the original brothers?

Casey is the adult son of the doctor Sawyer Hudson. His story, Casey (also published as The Buckhorn Legacy), represents the first transition to the next generation of the Buckhorn family.

QWhat is the difference between "Buckhorn Ever After" and "Shohn"?

They are the same story. Shohn Hudson's romance was originally published as the novella Buckhorn Ever After in the 2013 anthology Animal Attraction, and was later re-released as a standalone ebook titled Shohn.

QWho are the parents of Garrett and Amber in the series?

Garrett and Amber Hudson are the children of the sheriff Morgan Hudson and his wife Misty Malone, the protagonists of the second book, Morgan.

QAre there alternate titles for the Buckhorn Brothers books?

Yes. Many books in the series were republished under different names. For example, Sawyer is also known as Finally Home, Casey is The Buckhorn Legacy, Gray is A Buckhorn Summer, and A Buckhorn Bachelor is sometimes titled Adam.
