Anne Malcom Books in Order

Where to Start with Anne Malcom

Anne Malcom is renowned for her raw, emotionally intense romances featuring fiercely protective alpha leads and resilient heroines. Because she writes across several subgenres—from gritty motorcycle clubs to sweet small-town romance and dark paranormal fantasy—your starting point depends on your preferred reading vibe.

For the Ultimate Shared Universe Experience: Start with Making the Cut, the first book in the Sons of Templar MC series. This is the foundation of her largest interconnected universe, which spans the original motorcycle club, its New Mexico chapter, and the spin-off Greenstone Security series.

For a Sweeter, Contemporary Vibe: Start with Recipe for Love, the opening book of the Jupiter Tides series. Set in Maine, this series offers a lighter, comfort-read alternative to her darker outlaw sagas.

For Paranormal Romance: Start with Fatal Harmony, which begins The Vein Chronicles, a dark, urban fantasy romance series centered on vampires.

The Sons of Templar Universe Reading Order

The Sons of Templar MC series, the Sons of Templar MC - New Mexico spin-off, and the Greenstone Security series are all set in the same shared world. Characters cross over frequently, and major events in the motorcycle club ripple into the security firm.
