The Recommended Reading Order for Ruthless Sinners MC

If you want to experience the complete journey of the Ruthless Sinners motorcycle club, the best way is to follow the publication order. While each book is written as a standalone romance focusing on a different couple, reading them in order lets you follow the overarching club dynamics, shifting power struggles, and recurring subplots in Nashville's gritty underworld.

  1. Ties That Bind (2020) – Follows Hawk (Sergeant-at-Arms) and Delilah.
  2. Holding On (2020) – Follows Shotgun (Enforcer) and Remington Taylor.
  3. Secrets We Keep (2021) – Follows Rafe and Marlowe Davenport.
  4. Widow's Undoing (2021) – Follows Widow and Frankie.
  5. Claiming Menace (2021) – Follows Menace (the club's hacker) and Aubrey.
  6. Tempting Country (2021) – Follows Country and Kiersten.
  7. Jagger's Choice (2022) – Follows Jagger and Sophie.
  8. Viper's Demands (2022) – Follows Viper (Club President) and Becca.
  9. Lynch's Rule (2022) – Follows Lynch and Raelyn.
  10. The Butcher (2022) – Follows Billy "The Butcher" and Everleigh.

Publication Order vs. Chronological Order

The chronological timeline of the Ruthless Sinners MC matches the publication order exactly. The events of the club progress from Hawk and Delilah's initial clash in Ties That Bind all the way to the intense, high-stakes finality of Billy's story in The Butcher. For example, Kiersten—the love interest in Tempting Country (Book 6)—is the daughter of Billy "The Butcher", whose backstory and ultimate romance are saved for the finale in Book 10. Reading these out of order would spoil character dynamics and subplots, so sticking to the standard list is highly recommended.
