Caisey Quinn Books in Order

Where to Start with Caisey Quinn

For readers diving into Caisey Quinn's catalog of contemporary and New Adult romance, the best starting point depends on what you enjoy most. If you love stories set in the world of country music with high emotional stakes and small-town charm, the Neon Dreams series (beginning with Leaving Amarillo) is the absolute best place to start. It was her major traditional publishing debut with Avon/William Morrow, showcases her signature Southern voice, and features a tight-knit band's journey to stardom.

Alternatively, if you prefer emotional, trauma-healing stories with intense romantic connections, start with the standalone novel Keep Me Still and its companion novella, Hold Us Close. For classic indie country-music romance, the self-published breakout Kylie Ryans series is another beloved starting path.

The Kylie Ryans Series (Publication Order)

The Kylie Ryans series is the trilogy that first put Caisey Quinn on the map. It follows a young Southern woman navigating the grueling highs and lows of the country music industry while finding herself torn between different loves. Because this series has a continuous storyline following Kylie's career and personal life, it must be read in strict order:

1. Girl with Guitar (2013)
2. Girl on Tour (2013)
3. Girl in Love (2014)

The Second Chance Ranch Series

The Second Chance Ranch series is a direct contemporary romance spin-off of the Kylie Ryans trilogy. Set at a celebrity rehabilitation facility in Texas, these books focus on different couples finding healing and love. While they can technically be read as standalone romances, they share a setting and recurring background characters, making them most enjoyable if read in publication order:

1. Last Second Chance (2014) – Follows Stella Jo Chandler as she takes a job at the Ranch and encounters troubled rock star Van Ransom.
2. Falling for Fate (2014) – Explores another emotional romance set around the recovery ranch.

The Keep Me Still Duology

One of Quinn's most emotionally resonant and popular works is Keep Me Still, a New Adult romance detailing the lives of Layla Flaherty, who struggles with severe PTSD after witnessing a family tragedy, and Landen O'Brien, a boy dealing with his own deep secrets. Many print editions bundle the main novel with its accompanying prequel and sequel. Here is the chronological reading order of this universe:

• Keep Me Still (2013) – The core novel.
• Hold Us Close (2013) – A sequel novella (often numbered 1.5) that continues Layla and Landen's relationship into their college years.
• Give Me You (2016) – While published as a standalone novel, this story is deeply connected to the Keep Me Still universe and serves as a thematic companion that fans of the original duology should not miss.

The Neon Dreams Series

The Neon Dreams trilogy is a high-angst, forbidden-romance series about a country band chasing fame and the personal struggles that threaten to tear them apart. It centers on Dixie, a talented musician, and Gavin, her brother's best friend. Read this trilogy in order to follow the band's complete emotional arc:

1. Leaving Amarillo (2015)
2. Loving Dallas (2015)
3. Missing Dixie (2015)

Nashville's Finest Series

If you want a mix of small-town contemporary romance and suspense, this series follows brothers-in-arms in the Nashville police department. It blends romantic tension with high-stakes danger, starting with the explosive relationship of EOD specialist Chase Fisk:

1. Lit Fuse (2017) – The introductory prequel novella.
2. Live Wire (2017) – The first full-length novel in the series.

The Seduction Duet

For readers looking for steamier, contemporary romance with teacher-student tropes and forbidden passion, Quinn wrote a two-part duet. Read these in order to get the full story:

1. Hot for Her (2019)
2. Student Seduction / Hot for Teacher (2019)

Standalone Novels & Anthologies

Beyond her main series, Caisey Quinn has published standalone romances and contributed to collections that can be read at any time:

• All I Ever Wanted (2014) – An anthology featuring Quinn's short romance stories.
• The Naughty List (2019) – A festive, standalone holiday romance.

Writing as Trinity Scott

For readers who want a departure from Southern sweet-and-steamy romance, Caisey Quinn writes dark erotic thrillers and suspense under the pen name Trinity Scott. Her most prominent work under this alias is Blood & Lace, an FBI-centered romantic suspense novel that features a darker tone, mystery, and high-intensity passion.
