Where to Start Reading D.B. West
For most readers, the absolute best place to start is with the main Savage Kings MC series, co-authored by D.B. West and his wife, Lane Hart. This series serves as the foundation for his outlaw biker universe, establishing the themes of brotherhood, grit, and romance that define his work. While each book spotlights a different couple and can technically be read as a standalone romance, the overall narrative and background club politics carry over. Starting with Chase (or the prequel novella, King's Road) ensures you understand the club's hierarchy and character histories before diving into the spin-offs.

What to Know Before You Start
Because D.B. West's biker romances are written in partnership with New York Times bestselling author Lane Hart, they blend a gritty masculine perspective with seasoned romance pacing. The couples in the MC books undergo intense emotional transformations, often set against the backdrop of club rivalries, undercover law enforcement, and protective instincts. If you decide to read out of order, you will still enjoy the individual romances, but you may encounter major spoilers regarding who survives club conflicts and who ends up together in previous books.
