Ellie Masters Books in Order

Where to Start Reading Ellie Masters

Ellie Masters is known for her fast-paced, steamy romantic suspense, featuring protective alpha heroes and fierce, resilient heroines. Because her books are often set within the same interconnected universe, finding the best entry point is key to enjoying character crossovers and overarching storylines.

There are two primary places readers should start depending on their subgenre preferences:

• For Military Romance & Suspense: Start with Rescuing Melissa, the first book in the Guardian Hostage Rescue Specialists (Alpha Team) series. This book serves as the gateway to her larger military rescue universe and is frequently offered as a free entry point.
• For Rock Star Romance: Start with Heart's Insanity, the opening novel of the Angel Fire series. This series focuses on the members of a rock band, blending emotional angst with high-heat romance.

The Guardian Hostage Rescue Specialists (HRS) Universe

This is Ellie Masters’ flagship military romantic suspense universe. It follows elite special ops teams on dangerous missions and rescues. While each novel is a standalone romance with a guaranteed happily-ever-after (HEA), they are heavily interconnected. Reading them in order of their team releases will give you the best experience as characters from other teams frequently cross over.

The Angel Fire Series

This rock star romance series is a fan favorite. While the books can be read out of order, following publication order ensures you watch the band's dynamics evolve naturally.

2. Ashes to New (Prequel; 2016)
3. Heart's Desire (2018)
4. Hearts Collide (2018)

6. Hearts Entwined (2020)
7. Forest's Fall (2020)
8. Hearts (2021)

The One I Want Series

This series centers around rescue personnel, single dads, and intense survival situations (such as hurricanes). The books were originally titled after their male protagonists (e.g., Aiden, Brent) but have since been republished with female-centric titles. Read them in this order:

1. Saving Ariel (originally Aiden) (2020)
2. Saving Brie (originally Brent) (2020)
3. Saving Cate (originally Caleb) (2020)

2. Penny (2020)
3. Michelle (2020)
4. Ivy (2020)

Billionaire Boys Club & LaRouge Triplets

The LaRouge Triplets follows three brothers: Asher, Brody, and Cage. Because of crossover elements, the books are occasionally listed alongside her Billionaire Boys Club books. Note that Asher's story, Firestorm, was also released as part of K. Bromberg's Everyday Heroes World.

• Billionaire Boys Club: Nondisclosure (2018), H.R.H. Richard (2020), Brody (2021)
• LaRouge Triplets: Firestorm (2020), Brody (2021), Cage: A LaRouge Triplet Novel (2024)

A Note on Multi-Author Shared Worlds

If you see lists containing dozens or hundreds of books under series names like the Hero Club (Cocky Hero Club) or the Everyday Heroes World, do not be overwhelmed! These are collaborative, multi-author Kindle Worlds projects inspired by other romance authors (Vi Keeland, Penelope Ward, and K. Bromberg). Dozens of authors wrote independent standalones in these worlds. Ellie Masters only wrote specific books for these collections:

• In the Hero Club Books, Ellie Masters wrote Cocky Captain (2020).
• In the Everyday Heroes World, Ellie Masters wrote Firestorm (2020).
