Claudia Y. Burgoa Books in Order

Where to Start with Claudia Y. Burgoa

Claudia Y. Burgoa is a USA Today bestselling romance author celebrated for her emotionally charged, witty, and deeply passion-filled contemporary romance novels. Many of her books are set in the same interconnected world, affectionately referred to by readers as the 'Claudiaverse' or 'Claudia's Multiverse.' While most of her books can technically be read as standalone novels, starting in the right place makes the experience of watching characters cross paths and family trees intertwine infinitely more satisfying.

If you are a newcomer looking for the absolute best entry point, you should start with Loved You Once, the opening novel of The Baker’s Creek Billionaire Brothers series. This series remains her most popular work, featuring a mix of family drama, small-town charm, and laugh-out-loud romantic comedy. It perfectly showcases her signature style: alpha male leads with hidden depths, fierce and complex heroines, and a tight-knit family dynamic that pulls you in from the first page.

Alternatively, if you prefer snappy, modern romantic comedies that begin with digital mishaps, you can start with Wrong Text, Right Love, the first book in the fan-favorite Against All Odds series.

The Duet Exception: When Order is Mandatory

While Claudia Y. Burgoa frequently reminds her readers that they can dive into almost any of her series or standalone novels in any order, there is one critical rule to follow: duets must be read in order. Unlike her other interconnected series where each book focuses on a different couple, her duets split a single couple's emotional journey across two books. Reading the second book first will result in major spoilers and a confusing narrative experience.

The duets that require strict sequential reading include:

• Chaotic Love Duet: Read Begin with Me before Back to You.
• My One Duet: Read My One Regret before My One Desire.
• Sinners of Seattle Duet: Read Almost Perfect before Us After You.
• Unexpected Everlasting Duet: Read Suddenly Broken before Suddenly Us.
• Perfect Everlasting Duet: Read Who We Are before Who We Love.
• Somehow Everlasting Duet: Read Strangers in Love before Almost Strangers.
• Covert Affairs Duet: Read After the Vows before Love After Us.
• The Downfall of Us Duet: Read The End of Me before When Forever Finds Us.
• Impossibly Possible Duet: Read The Lies About Forever before The Truth About Us.
