Alexis Anne Books in Order

Where to Start: Choose Your Alexis Anne Entry Point

Alexis Anne has written dozens of contemporary romances that frequently share characters, locations, and overarching storylines. Because her books are interconnected, there is no single "correct" order to read them. Instead, she recommends choosing one of three primary entry points depending on your favorite romance tropes, reading through that path, and then transitioning to the next.

The three main paths to begin your journey are:

• The Storm Inside / Sports Path: Best for readers who love high-stakes sports romance, second chances, and beachside small towns.
• The World of Tease / Callaway Chronicles Path: Best for readers who enjoy steamy, serialized contemporary romance and billionaire romance.
• The Reckless Kiss Path: A shorter trilogy path that serves as a bridge between the baseball stories and the small-town beaches of Florida.

Path 1: The Storm Inside and the Mantas Baseball Universe

This is the most popular starting point. It begins with Alexis Anne's debut series and expands into her highly successful baseball and beach romance worlds. Many of these books revolve around the fictional Mantas baseball team.

The Recommended Reading Sequence:

1. The Storm Inside (2013)
2. Reflected in the Rain (2014)
3. When Lightning Strikes (2015)
4. Never Let Go (2016)
5. Summer Heat (2017) – Note: This is also the first book in the Wild Pitch subseries.

Understanding the Sports Spin-Offs

The Wild Pitch series (comprising Summer Heat, Night Games, and Last Fall) is directly embedded within the chronology of The Storm Inside. It features players on the Mantas baseball team. If you want to jump straight to sports romance, you can start directly with Summer Heat, finish the trilogy, and then loop back to the earlier Storm Inside novels to get the full backstory of the recurring characters.

Additionally, Alexis Anne continued her Mantas sports universe with the Out of Left Field series. While these can be read independently, they chronological follow the events of the Wild Pitch series. The reading order for this subseries is:

• Home Run (2022)
• Sweet Spot (2022)
• Caught Looking (2024)
• Squeeze Play (2024)

Path 2: The World of Tease, Scandals, and Stripped

If you prefer high-heat billionaire romances and secrets, start with the Tease Series (also known as the Callaway Chronicles). This path features a serialized layout and connects to her Sutherland Scandals and Stripped series.

The Recommended Reading Sequence:

1. Tease (2014) – Originally released as a five-volume episodic serial.
2. Want (2020)
3. King (2018) – Also known as King of Wands.
4. Crave (2020)
5. Tempt (2015) – Or you can start here; this begins the Sutherland Scandals series.
6. Burn (2016)
7. Secrets (2016)
8. Stripped (2015) – Or you can start here; this begins the Stripped series.
9. Sins (2016)
10. Lies (2017)

After completing this sequence, readers are encouraged to transition to the Reckless Kiss series to see how these characters overlap with her other worlds.

Path 3: The Reckless Series

The Reckless series is a tight, three-book series that connects characters from the Storm Inside world to the World of Tease. If you prefer a fast-paced, shorter series, this is an excellent standalone read. The publication and reading order is:

1. Reckless Kiss (2018)
2. Reckless Love (2018)
3. Reckless Nights (2019)
