How to Read Cee Bowerman’s Books
Bestselling Texas author Cee Bowerman has created a sprawling, highly interconnected world of contemporary romance, small-town family dramas, and suspenseful motorcycle clubs. Because characters from one series frequently drop by to visit, help, or cause trouble in others, knowing where to start and how to follow the timeline is essential for the best reading experience.
Her work is primarily divided into two massive, shared settings: the Rojo Universe (focusing on the Texas Kings MC, Texas Knights MC, Conner Brothers Construction, and the Tempests) and the Tenillo Universe (focusing on the Time Served MC and Ares Infidels MC). While every book features a standalone romance with a guaranteed happily-ever-after (HEA), they are best enjoyed in order to fully appreciate the complex web of family ties and returning faces.

What to Know Before You Start
If you prefer a tight, single-author experience, you can read the Texas Kings MC and Texas Knights MC books on their own. However, doing so means you will occasionally run into characters you do not know, as they cross over from the Conner Brothers or The Tempests. For the most satisfying narrative flow, following the master 1st Gen chronological list is highly recommended.
For the Tenillo books, because the stories of the Time Served MC and Ares Infidels MC run completely parallel in the same town, skipping Ciara St. James's books will leave you missing crucial context for the town's overarching plot lines. We strongly advise reading them as an alternating pair.
