Caitlyn Dare Books in Order

Where to Start with Caitlyn Dare

Caitlyn Dare is the pen name for a dynamic writing duo that has taken the dark romance and new adult genres by storm since their debut in 2020. Known for writing high-angst stories with possessive bad boys, reverse harem dynamics, and strong-willed heroines, their books are highly addictive but best read in specific sequences. Where you should begin depends entirely on the style of romance you prefer:

• For Bully Romance Fans: Start with the Rebels at Sterling Prep series. It features classic high school bully romance tropes, starting with the explosive relationship between Ace Jagger and Remi Tanner in Taunt Her.
• For Motorcycle Club and Reverse Harem (Why-Choose) Fans: Start with Savage Falls Sinners MC, beginning with the book Savage. It introduces you to a gritty, multi-partner romance set in a motorcycle club world.

Rebels at Sterling Prep Reading Order

This is the series that launched Caitlyn Dare's career. Set in a wealthy prep school where secrets run deep and the bad boys run the halls, the series is divided into distinct character arcs. It is crucial to read these books in order as the plot builds sequentially, and earlier characters play major roles in subsequent books.

Ace and Remi's Trilogy

The first three books follow the dark, intense romance between prep school princess Remi Tanner and the school's notorious bad boy, Ace Jagger:

1. Taunt Her (2020)
2. Tame Him (2020)
3. Taint Her (2020)

Sterling Prep Companion Novels

The final three books in the series pivot to other couples within the same high school group, resolving the lingering mysteries and alliances of the Sterling Prep universe:

4. Trust Him (2020)
5. Torment Her (2020)
6. Temper Him (2020)

The Sinners MC Shared Universe

Caitlyn Dare's motorcycle club books are set in a interconnected universe featuring different chapters of the Sinners MC. While they can technically be read as separate series, reading them in order of publication enhances the experience as characters cross over and the overall club politics progress.

1. Savage (2021)
2. Sacrifice (2021)
3. Sacred (2021)
4. Sever (2021)

Note: The complete Savage Falls Sinners MC collection (published in 2022) includes a bonus epilogue novella titled Solace, set five years after the main events.

What to Know Before You Start

Before diving into Caitlyn Dare's catalog, readers should be prepared for the heavy use of dark romance tropes. These books feature high levels of angst, bully romance dynamics, and dub-con elements. Additionally, the writing duo makes frequent use of cliffhangers—particularly between the parts of their duologies and trilogies—meaning it is highly recommended to have the next book on hand when finishing one.

For anthology completionists, Caitlyn Dare contributed a story to the Devil in Disguise: A Charity Anthology (2022), which can be read as a standalone piece outside of the main series continuities.
