Cleo Browne Books in Order (Updated March 30, 2026)

Cleo Browne is a New Zealand author whose current catalog is centered on dark romantic suspense and MC romance, especially the Devil’s Rose MC world. Her official site presents Vex as the current featured book, while external series pages show that most of her bibliography branches out from Devil’s Rose MC, with related crossover material and a newer The Keep spin-off.

This is not an author where you need a giant all-books chronology first. What matters is knowing which books are the main sequence, which books are side stories or specials, and which books are connected but not the best starting point. That is the cleanest way to avoid spoilers and accidental out-of-order reading.

The main road starts here

For most readers, the right place to begin is Rhodie.

It is the first Devil’s Rose MC book, and Devil’s Rose MC is clearly the backbone of Cleo Browne’s catalog. If you want to read her in the simplest and least confusing way, start there and keep moving forward through the core series before branching into crossovers, holiday extras, or the new spin-off.

Best entry points, depending on what you want

• A solid first pick for readers who want the central series is Rhodie.
• For readers who want the newest branch after getting the basics in place, Vex is the clear spin-off starting point.
• If you prefer to test the wider connected world rather than stay only with the club, August is a useful side entry, but it works better once the early Devil’s Rose MC books are already familiar.
• If you are here for seasonal bonus material, DRMC Devil’s Rose Merry Christmas is best saved until after the first few main books rather than used as a first sample.

Devil’s Rose MC in order

This is the core series and the place to spend most of your reading time first. The numbering is a little messy across some retailer and database pages because crossover books and specials sometimes sit between the numbered novels, but the clearest stable backbone is the main Devil’s Rose MC run shown across the series listings.

1. Rhodie (2024): Tuesday tries to infiltrate Devil’s Rose MC, only for the plan to collide with Rhodie, making this the true gateway into the club, its tone, and its core cast.
2. Wire (2024): A revenge-and-protection romance that deepens the club’s world and is best read after book one because the group dynamics are already in motion.
3. Tav (2024): A single-mom biker romance with cult-survivor history in the background, widening the emotional range of the series while staying inside the main DRMC line.
4. Tank (2025): A later club romance that continues the established cast network and works best once the first three books have already introduced the tone and loyalties.
5. Tuesday (2025): A main-series continuation that circles back to one of the earliest central figures, so prior knowledge of the world matters more here than at the start.
6. Marx (2025): A deeper-in-series romance that belongs in sequence, once the club’s family structure and running conflicts are already familiar.
7. Judge (2025): Another late main-series installment where the emotional payoff depends on knowing the club and its people first.
8. Fox and Nitro (2025): A later DRMC entry focused on an already-bonded pair looking for the missing third piece, making it a poor starting point but a natural later-series read.
9. Switch (2026): The current ninth main Devil’s Rose MC book and the furthest point in the central series order now listed.

The books that sit beside the main series

These books belong to the same reading world, but they are better treated as optional extras or connected side reads, not as replacements for the numbered main order.

1. August (2024): A Tombs Security and Devil’s Rose MC crossover that introduces the Tombs side of the connected world and works best after the early DRMC books.
2. Jules (2025): Another Tombs Security plus Devil’s Rose MC crossover, best read after August because it continues that shared-characters lane.
3. DRMC Devil’s Rose Merry Christmas (2024): A holiday special that is easiest to enjoy once you already know the club’s personalities and found-family feel.
4. Love, DRMC: A DRMC Valentine’s Special (2026): A Valentine’s companion piece for existing readers rather than a sensible first stop.

The spin-off branch

Devil’s Rose MC – The Keep

This is the clearest next step once you are caught up on the main club books. The official site description makes it clear that The Keep has already been transformed under Devil’s Rose MC control, so the spin-off is not really meant to come first.

Vex (2026): The first Devil’s Rose MC – The Keep book, following a return to a former cult stronghold now rebuilt as a sanctuary under DRMC protection, which makes it feel like a continuation branch rather than a fresh unrelated series.

The separate but related side series

Tombs Security

This is currently a very short connected line, but it overlaps with Devil’s Rose MC strongly enough that it is smartest to read it as a side branch, not as your first Cleo Browne series.

1. August (2024): The Tombs Security opener, built around August Tombs and already tied into the Devil’s Rose MC world.
2. Jules (2025): The second Tombs Security book, continuing the crossover-heavy connected setup rather than creating a separate standalone lane.

The one title outside the main reading path

Dima’s Vision (2025): A contribution to the multi-author 31 Days of Trick or Treat Mobsters and Bikers project, so it is best treated as a separate side title rather than a required Cleo Browne sequence book.

A practical reading order that works

If you want one clean route, read Cleo Browne like this:

1. Rhodie
2. Wire
3. Tav
4. DRMC Devil’s Rose Merry Christmas
5. Tank
6. August
7. Tuesday
8. Jules
9. Marx
10. Judge
11. Fox and Nitro
12. Love, DRMC
13. Switch
14. Vex
15. Dima’s Vision whenever you want, because it is outside the main required path

That order keeps the club books primary, places the crossovers after the world is established, saves the holiday material for when the cast already matters to you, and moves the spin-off until after the parent series foundation is in place. The exact placement of August and Jules is the only part that is somewhat flexible, because sources consistently show them as crossover/side-series titles rather than as simple numbered DRMC novels.

Where not to begin

• Do not start with Switch, because it is book nine in the main series.
• Do not start with Vex, unless you already know you are comfortable entering through a spin-off that assumes the Keep has already been reshaped by Devil’s Rose MC.
• Do not start with Love, DRMC or DRMC Devil’s Rose Merry Christmas, because both are clearly specials built for readers who already know the cast.
• Do not treat Dima’s Vision as the core reading order, because it sits in a separate multi-author project.

Newest release status

The latest main Devil’s Rose MC book currently listed is Switch (2026), while Vex (2026) is the opening book in the new Devil’s Rose MC – The Keep spin-off. Love, DRMC also appears as a 2026 Valentine’s special, which makes 2026 the current expansion point for both the main line and connected side material.

Final recommendation

If you want one decisive answer, start with Rhodie.

If you already know you want the full experience, stay with the Devil’s Rose MC books first, then read August and Jules, and only after that move into Vex. That keeps the emotional logic of the world intact and avoids turning the spin-off into a confusing first impression.
