Where to Start with Brie Paisley

Brie Paisley writes in multiple romance sub-genres, meaning your best starting point depends on your personal taste. If you prefer emotional, small-town romance with tight-knit family dynamics, you should begin with the Harlow Brothers series, starting with Carter. If you are a fan of darker, high-stakes romance with suspenseful twists, start with her debut trilogy, the Worshipped series, beginning with the book Worshipped.

The Harlow Brothers Series

This contemporary romance series follows the lives, struggles, and loves of the Harlow brothers. While each book can technically be read as a standalone focusing on a different couple, reading them in order of publication is highly recommended to follow the overarching family dynamics and character crossovers.

  • Carter (2016)
  • Caden (2017)
  • Caleb (2019)
  • Carter & Shelby: Ever After (2021) — A companion novella following up on the couple from book one.
  • Clark (2021)

The Worshipped Series

This is Brie Paisley's debut series, focusing on dark romance, emotional struggle, and intense suspense. Unlike her contemporary standalones, this trilogy is highly serialized and must be read in order.

  1. Worshipped (2015)
  2. Betrayed (2015)
  3. Redeemed (2020)

The Transcendent Series

The Transcendent books branch into a different narrative structure. For this duology, the chronological order differs slightly from the main publishing order of the full-length novel, as the prequel novella sets the stage.

  • The Foreseer (2020) — Prequel / Book 0.5
  • The Predestined (2021) — Book 1

Standalone Novels & Shared Worlds

Brie Paisley has written several standalone romance novels that do not require prior reading. However, one of her novellas belongs to a collaborative multi-author project:

  • Temptation (2015) — Standalone contemporary romance.
  • Addiction (2021) — Standalone contemporary romance.
  • A Summer Risk (2021) — Standalone contemporary romance.
  • Infatuation: A Club Temptation Novella (2020) — Part of the multi-author shared-world BDSM anthology series, Club Temptation. Can be read completely on its own.

Anthology Contributions

Paisley has also contributed to romance anthologies alongside other authors, providing shorter romantic pieces for charity or themed collections:

  • All for You (2020) — A collaborative anthology containing a short story by Brie Paisley.

Frequently Asked

QDo you need to read the Harlow Brothers series in order?

While each book features a different couple and functions as a standalone romance, it is highly recommended to read them in publication order starting with Carter. This allows you to experience the recurring family dynamics and updates on previous couples naturally.

QWhat is the correct order for the Worshipped series?

You should read the Worshipped series in strict chronological order: 1. Worshipped, 2. Betrayed, and 3. Redeemed. This trilogy follows a continuous story arc.

QHow does Infatuation connect to Brie Paisley's other books?

Infatuation is a standalone novella set in the shared-world Club Temptation universe. It does not connect directly to the Harlow Brothers or Worshipped characters and can be read independently at any time.

QShould I read The Foreseer before The Predestined?

Yes. The Foreseer serves as the prequel (Book 0.5) to The Predestined (Book 1) in the Transcendent series, and reading it first provides valuable context for the story.

QWhat is Brie Paisley's debut novel?

Brie Paisley's debut novel is Worshipped, published in 2015, which launched her dark romance writing career.
