Carrie Ann has more than a few books in her library—more than one hundred in fact! New to her worlds and unsure where to start? Or maybe you’ve read her before but want a certain trope or genre for your evening read? Well, look down below for our guide on where to begin when you want to fall in love with Carrie Ann’s worlds.

If you’re new to my books, the perfect place to start in contemporary romance is One way Back to Me and Bittersweet Promises! And if you’re in the mood for paranormal romances, then begin with Etched in Honor.

Want to start the Montgomery Ink world?

The Montgomery Ink World spreads over a few series though each book is a stand alone. To begin the Montgomery Ink series you can begin with Delicate Ink or any of the series centering on the main family, such as Inked Persuasion or Bittersweet Promises.

If you’d rather start with a series set in the same world but a bit smaller, Forever Only Once is a wonderful place to begin with the Promise Me series. The Wilder Brothers series is also a fan favorite where you can begin with the free prequel, A Night for Us.

Think of the Montgomery World like a giant tree where the trunk consists of the main Montgomery families (Montgomery Ink, Montgomery Ink: Colorado Springs etc…). The branches are my trilogies and other series where they center around a family that marries into the Montgomery clan one way or another.

You can jump around each series and feel NO NEED to begin with the older books. If a new series jumps out to you, begin there and then you can read any other series of mine. I promise you won’t be lost!

Want to start reading the Packs?

In the mood for hot shifters saving the world? The Redwood Pack world so far has three series within it: The Redwood Pack, Talon Pack, and the Aspen Pack series.

The Aspen Pack series begins right after the Talon Pack series ends but is the current best entry point.

The Talons occur thirty years after the Redwoods end so you do not have to read one before the other. A few of the now-grown Redwood children do end up mating into the Talons so it’s up to you which one you’d like to start–though the Talons are near and dear to my heart at the moment.

 

And for those of you looking at the Branded Packs series…that’s a completely separate series I wrote with Alexandra Ivy and is not connected to any of the other Packs.

 

In the mood to relax?

Want to relax and just be instead of reading? Try the Alphas & Ink Coloring Book that features most of Carrie Ann’s series.

What is the reading order for all of the books in the Montgomery Ink world?

 

If you’re new to my books, the perfect place to start in contemporary romance is One way Back to Me and Bittersweet Promises! And if you’re in the mood for paranormal romances, then begin with Etched in Honor.

Each book in the Montgomery Ink world is a stand alone romance. In fact, every contemporary novel and novella I’ve ever written is set in the same world where the Montgomerys exist. It’s a fun way for readers to hop along the series and see familiar faces. And it’s a great way for new readers to start wherever they’d like, even four series into the world, and work their way around.

What is the reading order of your books?

If you’re new to my books, the perfect place to start in contemporary romance is One way Back to Me and Bittersweet Promises! And if you’re in the mood for paranormal romances, then begin with Etched in Honor.

All of my contemporary and paranormal books are standalones. However, a few are set in the same worlds.

If you’d like to read the Montgomery Ink series in order, it goes: Denver (Original) > Colorado Springs > Boulder > Fort Collins.

As for my paranormal romances:  The Redwood Pack series is set 30 years before the Talon Pack series. And the Aspen Pack series occurs right after the Talon Pack ends.

Every contemporary romance I’ve written is set in the same world, however, each series is stand alone. If you want to read in timeline order, then start with Ink Inspired and work you way in the order they were released. You can check that out on my bookshelf by sorting by Interconnected Series or Release Date.
