Recommended Reading Path: Where to Start?

Amanda Richardson is exceptionally versatile, writing everything from sweet-to-spicy contemporary office romances to pitch-black secret society series. If you are brand new to her catalog, the best place to start depends heavily on your preferred sub-genre:

  • For Dark Academic & Secret Societies: Start with the Ruthless Royals duet. Set in the Greythorn Prep universe, this duet is a perfect introduction to her gritty, high-angst writing style and prepares you for the expanded Savage Hearts trilogy.
  • For Classic Contemporary Office Romance: Start with His Ghostwriter (originally published as Between the Pages), which offers a delightful mix of mystery and forbidden workplace sparks.
  • For Billionaire Romance: Dive into the Ravaged Castle series starting with Prey Tell. Each book focuses on a different billionaire brother and can be read as a standalone.

The Greythorn Universe Reading Order

One of Richardson's most popular shared settings is the Greythorn universe, home to dark academe, stepbrother tropes, and reverse harem romance. While these series can technically be read independently, they share character crossovers and a continuous timeline. Reading them in order enhances the experience:

This duet introduces the toxic, high-drama world of Greythorn. It is a stepbrother academy romance that must be read in order:

  1. Ruthless Crown (2021)
  2. Ruthless Queen (2021)

2. Savage Hearts Trilogy
