C.M. Stunich Books in Order (Updated April 28, 2026)

C.M. Stunich writes romance across several lanes: dark high-school romance, reverse harem, bully romance, paranormal romance, urban fantasy, rock-star romance, fantasy romance, and romantic suspense. She has also published under the name Violet Blaze.

This bibliography is large, and the safest reading strategy is not one giant publication-order marathon. C.M. Stunich is best read by series, because most series have their own cast, trope structure, and continuity.

The best starting point depends on what kind of C.M. Stunich book you want. For dark bully romance, start with Filthy Rich Boys or Havoc at Prescott High. For rock-star reverse harem, start with Groupie. For fantasy reverse harem, start with Allison’s Adventures in Underland. For paranormal romance, start with Pack Ebon Red or The Family Spells.

The Cleanest Starting Points

1. Choose Havoc at Prescott High if you want the most direct entry into Stunich’s dark high-school reverse-harem world.
2. Choose Filthy Rich Boys if you want academy bully romance with class warfare, revenge, and a longer school-based arc.
3. Choose Groupie if you want rock-star romance and a complete trilogy.
4. Choose Allison’s Adventures in Underland if you want dark fantasy romance and fairy-tale retelling energy.
5. Choose If You Don’t Love Me We Both Die if you want a newer contemporary romance with magical realism rather than a long shared universe.

Continuity Warnings

Several series are connected by setting, spin-off, or tone, but most are not one single strict timeline.

1. The Havoc Boys is complete and should be read before Scarlett Force, because Scarlett’s books are set in the same world.
2. Rich Boys of Burberry Prep and Adamson All-Boys Academy are closely associated school-romance series. Read Rich Boys first if you want the broader context before Adamson.
3. Allison’s Adventures in Underland is the later title grouping for the books commonly connected to Harem of Hearts.

Co-written books with Tate James should be kept in their own sections because they belong to shared-author projects rather than Stunich-only continuity.

C.M. Stunich Books in Order by Series

Tasting Never Books in Order

This is one of C.M. Stunich’s earlier contemporary romance series. Read it in order because the emotional arc develops across the full run.

1. Tasting Never (2012): The series begins with Never’s damaged emotional world and sets up the intense relationship drama that drives the later books.
2. Finding Never (2013): The second book continues Never’s story after the first book establishes the central romance and personal wounds.
3. Keeping Never (2013): The third entry moves the relationship forward and should stay after the first two books.
4. Never Can Tell (2013): This later installment keeps the same emotional continuity moving after the core setup is already in place.
5. Never Let Go (2014): The fifth book belongs deep in the sequence because it depends on the earlier relationship progression.
6. Never Did Say (2015): This entry extends the established arc rather than acting as a new-reader starting point.
7. Never Could Stop (2017): The final listed book is best saved until after the full Never sequence has been read.

The Seven Wicked Books in Order

A short early fantasy/paranormal sequence. Read the four numbered parts together.

1. The Seven Wicked: First (2012): The opening part introduces the series’ dark supernatural framework.
2. The Seven Wicked: Second (2012): The second part continues the same compact sequence and should follow First.
3. The Seven Wicked: Third (2012): The third part pushes the short-form arc toward its conclusion.
4. The Seven Wicked: Fourth (2012): The fourth part closes the listed Seven Wicked sequence.

Howling Holidays Books in Order

A short werewolf-holiday pairing. These can be treated as light paranormal side reads.

1. A Werewolf Christmas (2012): A holiday werewolf romance that establishes the festive paranormal tone.
2. Werewolf Kisses (2018): A later werewolf-holiday entry that can be read after A Werewolf Christmas or as a separate seasonal read.

Hard Rock Roots Books in Order

This is a rock-star romance series with a long continuity arc. Read from book one because the relationships and band drama build across the sequence.

1. Real Ugly (2013): The series opens with Turner Campbell, Naomi Knox, and a volatile rock-scene romance.
2. Get Bent (2013): The second book continues the band and relationship fallout from Real Ugly.
3. Tough Luck (2013): This entry keeps the rock-star chaos moving and should not be read before the first two books.
4. Bad Day (2013): The fourth book continues the series’ emotional and romantic complications.
5. Born Wrong (2014): The fifth book deepens the long-running rock-band conflicts and relationship stakes.
6. Dead Serious (2014): This later installment belongs after the first five books because the cast history matters.
7. Doll Face (2014): The seventh book continues the established band-family and romance threads.
8. Heart Broke (2016): A late-series entry that follows the accumulated damage and loyalty of the earlier books.
9. Get Hitched (2017): The ninth book moves the series into wedding-era relationship territory.
10. Screw Up (2017): The final listed Hard Rock Roots book closes the long series arc and should be read last.

A Duet Books in Order

A two-book contemporary romance sequence. Read both books in order.

1. Paint Me Beautiful (2013): The duet begins with a romance centered on beauty, insecurity, and emotional recovery.
2. Color Me Pretty (2013): The second book follows the emotional line from Paint Me Beautiful and completes the duet structure.

Triple M Books in Order

A four-book contemporary romance series. Read in order for the couple and emotional continuity.

1. Losing Me, Finding You (2013): The series begins with a recovery-centered romance and establishes the emotional stakes.
2. Loving Me, Trusting You (2013): The second book continues the trust and relationship arc after the first book’s setup.
3. Needing Me, Wanting You (2014): The third entry keeps the same emotional line moving forward.
4. Craving Me, Desiring You (2014): The fourth book completes the listed Triple M sequence.

Rock-Hard Beautiful Books in Order

This is a complete rock-star reverse-harem trilogy. It is one of the cleaner starting points for readers who want Stunich’s why-choose romance without a huge reading commitment.

1. Groupie (2017): Lilith’s story begins with grief, survival, and a band that becomes central to her new life.
2. Roadie (2017): The second book continues Lilith’s relationship with the band and deepens the emotional consequences of the first book.
3. Moxie (2017): The trilogy closes here, so it should be read after Groupie and Roadie.

The Seven Mates of Zara Wolf Books in Order

This is paranormal reverse-harem romance with wolves, packs, and mate-bond structure. Read in order because Zara’s pack relationships build book by book.

1. Pack Ebon Red (2017): Zara’s series begins with the first pack connection and the core supernatural-romance setup.
2. Pack Violet Shadow (2017): The second book expands the mate and pack dynamics after the first bond is established.
3. Pack Obsidian Gold (2017): The third book continues the supernatural relationship web and should follow the first two.
4. Pack Ivory Emerald (2019): The fourth listed book carries the series forward after a publication gap.
5. Pack Amber Ash: Listed in some reader and schedule references as a future or in-progress entry, but I did not find a stable released listing to treat it as available.
6. Pack Azure Frost: Commonly associated with the projected series path, but not confirmed as an available released book.
7. Pack Crimson Dusk: Commonly associated with the projected series path, but not confirmed as an available released book.

Hijinks Harem Books in Order

Co-written with Tate James. Keep this series separate from Stunich-only continuity.

1. Elements of Mischief (2017): The co-written trilogy begins with a reverse-harem paranormal setup involving elemental trouble.
2. Elements of Ruin (2017): The second book continues the same chaotic magical-romance premise.
3. Elements of Desire (2018): The third book completes the listed Hijinks Harem trilogy.

Allison’s Adventures in Underland Books in Order

This fantasy reverse-harem series reworks Alice-in-Wonderland-style material into a darker romance setting. Read in order because the Underland cast and rules develop across the trilogy.

1. Allison’s Adventures in Underland (2017): Allison falls into a dangerous fantasy world, making this the required starting point.
2. Allison and the Torrid Tea Party (2018): The second book continues Allison’s Underland relationships and deepens the fantasy danger.
3. Allison Shatters the Looking-Glass (2018): The third book completes the listed Underland arc and should be read after the first two.

Mafia Queen Books in Order

Fantastic Fiction lists two books, while Goodreads and some reader databases list four. I am separating confirmed published entries from commonly listed continuation titles.

1. Lure (2017): The series begins with mafia-romance danger and introduces the heroine’s power struggle.
2. Lavish (2017): The second book continues the mafia-romance setup and should follow Lure.
3. Luxe: Commonly listed as part of the four-book Mafia Queen structure, but availability and publication details are less stable.
4. Lethal: Commonly listed as part of the projected or reader-listed sequence, but I did not confirm it as a stable released entry.

The Academy of Spirits and Shadows Books in Order

An urban-fantasy academy series. The author’s upcoming materials still reference the ending of this series, so treat later entries carefully if checking availability.

1. Spirited (2018): The series begins with an academy, spirits, shadows, and a heroine entering a dangerous supernatural school setting.
2. Haunted (2018): The second book continues the academy and spirit-world complications after Spirited.
3. Shadowed: Listed as book three and referenced by the author as in progress or forthcoming, but I did not confirm it as a stable released title.

The Family Spells Books in Order

A reverse-harem urban-fantasy series involving witches, demons, vampires, werewolves, and fae. Read in order because the heroine’s relationships and magical conflicts build directly.

1. The Family Spells (2018): The series opens with Graceley’s magical shop, her supernatural complications, and the start of a messy paranormal-romance web.
2. What the Hex? (2022): The second book continues the same supernatural and romantic conflicts after the first book’s setup.
3. The Heart Cantrip: Listed by Fantastic Fiction as 2022 and referenced on official pages, but official materials also include stale “coming soon” language, so check availability before planning around it.
4. Witch Mates Are Fated?: Listed on official pages as the final book but still treated there as forthcoming or in progress; do not assume it is available unless confirmed by a retailer.

Death by Daybreak Motorcycle Club Books in Order

A dark motorcycle-club romance series. Read in order because the emotional and club stakes are serial.

1. I Was Born Ruined (2019): The series begins with a damaged heroine, motorcycle-club danger, and the first stage of the darker romance arc.
2. I Am Dressed in Sin (2021): The second book continues the club and relationship fallout from the opener.
3. I Will Revel in Glory (2021): The third book completes the listed Death by Daybreak MC sequence.

Rich Boys of Burberry Prep Books in Order

This is a major C.M. Stunich bully-romance series. Read in order because the revenge, school hierarchy, and relationship structure are strongly serialized.

1. Filthy Rich Boys (2019): Marnye Reed enters Burberry Prep and faces a brutal class divide, making this the essential first book.
2. Bad, Bad Bluebloods (2019): The second book continues the retaliation, power games, and romance complications from the opener.
3. The Envy of Idols (2019): The third entry widens the conflict inside Burberry Prep and should not be read early.
4. In the Arms of the Elite (2019): The fourth book pushes the school and relationship stakes toward resolution.
5. Orientation (2022): A later Burberry Prep entry that functions as an add-on after the main four-book arc.

Undercover Sinners Books in Order

Co-written with Tate James. Keep it separate from Stunich-only series.

1. Altered by Fire (2019): Also associated with the title Five Fathers, this co-written book begins the Undercover Sinners sequence.
2. Altered by Lead (2020): The second book continues the shared-author romantic-suspense setup.

Adamson All-Boys Academy Books in Order

This series is closely associated with Stunich’s academy and bully-romance lane. Read it in order, and consider reading Rich Boys of Burberry Prep first if you want the broader school-romance context.

1. The Secret Girl (2019): Charlotte enters Adamson All-Boys Academy disguised in a dangerous environment, establishing the central secret and reverse-harem setup.
2. The Ruthless Boys (2019): The second book continues the consequences of Charlotte’s secret and the boys’ shifting loyalties.
3. The Forever Crew (2020): The third book completes the main Adamson arc.
4. Orientation (2022): A later school-world add-on that is best read after the main Adamson and Burberry Prep arcs.

The Havoc Boys Books in Order

This is one of C.M. Stunich’s best-known dark high-school reverse-harem series. Read it in exact order.

1. Havoc at Prescott High (2019): Bernadette Blackbird calls on Havoc for help, starting a violent, loyalty-driven school-romance arc.
2. Chaos at Prescott High (2020): The second book follows the immediate fallout from Bernadette’s first deal with Havoc.
3. Mayhem at Prescott High (2020): The third book escalates the danger and relationship stakes inside Prescott High.
4. Anarchy at Prescott High (2020): The fourth book moves the series into deeper revenge, violence, and emotional commitment.
5. Victory at Prescott High (2020): The fifth book concludes the Havoc Boys arc and should be read after the first four.

Wicked Wizards of Oz Books in Order

A dark fantasy reverse-harem retelling lane. At present, it has one confirmed primary book.

• Very Bad Wizards (2020): This Oz-inspired fantasy romance introduces the retelling premise and can be read as its own entry point.

Lost Daughter of a Serial Killer Books in Order

A dark romantic-suspense series. Read in order because the heroine’s identity, danger, and relationship stakes build across the books.

1. Stolen Crush (2021): The series begins with a serial-killer-family premise and a dangerous romantic-suspense setup.
2. Payback Princess (2021): The second book continues the revenge and identity complications from Stolen Crush.
3. Endgame Romance (2022): The third book moves the series closer to its central resolution.
4. Game Over Boys (2023): The fourth book completes the listed sequence and should be read last.

Scarlett Force Books in Order

This is a spin-off set in the Havoc world. Read The Havoc Boys first.

1. F*ckboy Psychos (2021): Scarlett Force’s series begins in the same rough world as Havoc, with enemies-to-lovers energy and a new central heroine.
2. Unholy Terrors (2022): The second book continues Scarlett’s dangerous romantic and personal conflicts.
3. Vile Bastards (2022): The third book pushes the series toward its unresolved final act.
4. Stalking Nightmares: The official upcoming page identifies this as the fourth and final Scarlett Force book, but I did not confirm a stable released edition, so treat it as forthcoming or availability-dependent.

Grey Wolfe Empire Books in Order

A modern fairy-tale romance lane. Only one confirmed book is listed.

• Throwaway Prince (2022): The series opens with a modern fairy-tale setup and should be treated as the entry point for Grey Wolfe Empire.

Allison’s Harem of Hearts Books in Order

Some listings use this newer series label for the Underland material.

• Kings of Underland (2022): Listed as part of the Allison/Harem of Hearts world and best approached after understanding the Underland continuity.

For the Love of Aliens Books in Order

A science-fiction reverse-harem romance trilogy. Read in order.

1. Pheromone (2023): The trilogy begins with alien-romance biology, attraction, and the first stage of the heroine’s otherworldly situation.
2. Seminal (2023): The second book continues the alien-romance conflict and should follow Pheromone.
3. Venery (2023): The third book completes the listed For the Love of Aliens trilogy.

Witchwood Boys Books in Order

A newer paranormal reverse-harem series. Read in order because the central mystery, romance, and witch-world stakes are serialized.

1. The Witchwood Boys Are Trending (2024): The series begins with a modern paranormal setup, social-media pressure, and the first introduction to the Witchwood boys.
2. Come Dance With the Witchwood Boys (2024): The second book continues the same romantic and supernatural tangle.
3. The Witchwood Boys Did Me Dirty (2025): The third book raises the consequences of the earlier books and should not be read first.
4. The Arcane Taste of the Witchwood Boys (2025): The fourth book is the latest listed Witchwood Boys entry and continues the established arc.

If You Don’t Love Me We Both Die Books in Order

A newer contemporary romance with magical-realist stakes. Read both parts in order.

1. If You Don’t Love Me We Both Die (2024): The first book begins the high-concept romance where love and survival are tied together in a way neither lead can ignore.
2. If You Don’t Love Me We Both Die 2 (2025): The second part continues the same romance and should not be read before the first book.

No More Dragons! Books in Order

This newer fantasy reverse-harem series appears in recent reader and romance databases. I found enough current listings to include it, but availability should still be checked carefully.

1. No More Dragons! (2025): The series starts with a heroine whose ordinary life is upended by dragon-related magic and a jump into another world.
2. Too Many Dragons! (2025): The second listed book continues the dragon-world fantasy-romance premise after the opener.
3. So Done with Dragons! (2025): The third listed book appears as part of the three-book No More Dragons! sequence.

Standalone and Single-Title C.M. Stunich Books

These titles are listed outside the main series or are commonly treated as standalone reads. Some may share genre DNA with other books, but they do not need to be placed inside a major series order.

1. Hell Inc. (2012): An early paranormal or fantasy-leaning title that can be read separately from the romance series.
2. The House of Gray and Graves (2012): A dark fantasy/faerie-style standalone that does not require another series first.
3. The Feed (2012): Listed as a standalone by some sources and as part of The Huntswomen grouping by others, so read it as a separate early fantasy title unless following that older trilogy label.
4. Indigo & Iris (2012): An early single-title work that can be read apart from Stunich’s later romance worlds.
5. Deadborn (2012): An early standalone that sits outside the major romance-series structure.
6. Chry’er’s Crest (2012): A fantasy single-title work that does not need any other C.M. Stunich book first.
7. Crushing Summer (2013): A contemporary standalone that can be read outside the serialized romance worlds.
8. Taboo Unchained (2014): A standalone romance with darker taboo framing, best approached separately from the school and paranormal series.
9. Taming Her Boss (2014): A workplace or boss-romance title that does not require series background.
10. Kicked (2016): A sports-romance standalone that can be read independently.
11. Bad Nanny (2016): A standalone romance with nanny/boss dynamics, separate from the larger series.
12. Beautiful Survivors (2017): Listed as a single title by Fantastic Fiction and as part of Five Forgotten Souls elsewhere, so treat it as either the first book of that small grouping or a standalone entry.
13. Alluring Outcasts: Commonly listed as part of Five Forgotten Souls, but I did not confirm it as cleanly in the main Fantastic Fiction chronology.
14. Dark Glitter (2018): Co-written with Tate James and associated with The Wild Hunt Motorcycle Club; keep it outside Stunich-only continuity.
15. The Nine (2018): Co-written with Tate James and associated with Foxfire Burning in some lists, but it should be treated as a separate co-written project.
16. Becoming Us Again (2019): Published under the Violet Blaze name in some listings, and best treated as a standalone contemporary romance.
17. Devils’ Day Party (2020): A standalone time-loop bully romance and one of Stunich’s easier one-book entry points for dark-romance readers.
18. Blizzards and Bastards (2024): A standalone or anthology-related romance that is currently best handled outside any major series order.

Short Stories and Novellas

These are optional. Do not use them as starting points unless the premise specifically appeals to you.

1. She Lies Twisted (2012): An early short work that sits outside the main series structure.
2. Broken Pasts (2013): A short piece or novella that can be read separately.
3. F*ck Valentine’s Day (2013): A Valentine-themed short work that does not need series placement.
4. Baby Girl (2018): A short work listed outside the main series.

Collections and Box Sets

Collections are not new books. Use them for buying convenience, not for reading-order placement.

1. Tasting, Finding, Keeping: The Story of Never: Collects the first three Tasting Never books and may include bonus material.
2. Alpha Wolves Motorcycle Club: The Complete Series (2019): A collected edition connected to the wolf/motorcycle-club material.
3. Bully Me: Class of 2020 (2020): A multi-author collection, not a new C.M. Stunich series installment.
4. Billionaires, Boarders, and Bastards: A compilation title associated with Blizzards and Bastards material in reader-list references.

Best Reading Order for New Readers

Do not try to read every C.M. Stunich book by publication date first. Pick the kind of story you want, then follow that lane.

For dark high-school reverse harem:

1. Filthy Rich Boys (2019): Start here for Burberry Prep’s school hierarchy and revenge setup.
2. Continue Rich Boys of Burberry Prep through In the Arms of the Elite (2019): This completes the main Burberry arc.
3. The Secret Girl (2019): Move into Adamson All-Boys Academy after Burberry.
4. The Ruthless Boys (2019): Continue the Adamson conflict.
5. The Forever Crew (2020): Finish the Adamson arc.
6. Havoc at Prescott High (2019): Start the grittier Prescott world.
7. Continue The Havoc Boys through Victory at Prescott High (2020): Finish the complete Havoc arc.
8. F*ckboy Psychos (2021): Begin Scarlett Force only after Havoc.
9. Continue Scarlett Force in order: Read through Vile Bastards, then Stalking Nightmares when available.

For paranormal and urban fantasy romance:

1. Pack Ebon Red (2017): Begin the Seven Mates of Zara Wolf.
2. Continue through Pack Ivory Emerald (2019): Read the confirmed released Zara Wolf books in order.
3. The Family Spells (2018): Start the witch/demon/vampire/fae romance lane.
4. What the Hex? (2022): Continue the Family Spells arc.
5. Spirited (2018): Begin Academy of Spirits and Shadows.
6. Haunted (2018): Continue that academy world.
7. Shadowed: Add this only when a stable released edition is confirmed.

For fantasy reverse harem:

1. Allison’s Adventures in Underland (2017): Start the Underland fantasy romance.
2. Allison and the Torrid Tea Party (2018): Continue the same world.
3. Allison Shatters the Looking-Glass (2018): Finish the Underland trilogy.
4. Very Bad Wizards (2020): Move into the Oz-inspired fantasy romance.
5. No More Dragons! (2025): Start the newer dragon-fantasy lane.
6. Too Many Dragons! (2025): Continue the sequence.
7. So Done with Dragons! (2025): Finish the listed No More Dragons! trilogy.

For rock-star romance:

1. Real Ugly (2013): Begin Hard Rock Roots.
2. Continue Hard Rock Roots through Screw Up (2017): Read the full long-form rock series.
3. Groupie (2017): Start Rock-Hard Beautiful after that if you want another band-centered romance.
4. Roadie (2017): Continue Lilith’s band-family arc.
5. Moxie (2017): Finish the trilogy.

For a shorter modern entry point:

1. Devils’ Day Party (2020): Read this as a one-book bully-romance sample.
2. If You Don’t Love Me We Both Die (2024): Try this for contemporary romance with a magical-realist premise.
3. If You Don’t Love Me We Both Die 2 (2025): Continue only after the first part.

Publication Order: Useful, But Not Best

Publication order is useful for tracking C.M. Stunich’s career, but it is not the best way to read her.

The reason is simple: the catalogue crosses too many genres. A strict publication order jumps from paranormal to contemporary to rock-star romance to academy bully romance, which can make the continuity feel more confusing than it is.

Series order is cleaner. Use publication order only within a series.

Latest Release Status

At the time of writing such as April 28, 2026, the latest clearly listed released books I found in current public databases are from 2025, including The Arcane Taste of the Witchwood Boys, If You Don’t Love Me We Both Die 2, and No More Dragons! listings.

The author’s official upcoming page still identifies Stalking Nightmares as the fourth and final Scarlett Force book, but that page also contains older schedule language. Treat Stalking Nightmares as forthcoming or availability-dependent unless you confirm it at your retailer.

The author’s release-schedule page also states that dates are tentative. That warning matters for C.M. Stunich more than for many authors, because several series have long gaps and shifting release plans.

Frequently Asked Questions

What C.M. Stunich book should I read first?

Start with Havoc at Prescott High for dark high-school reverse harem, Filthy Rich Boys for academy bully romance, Groupie for rock-star reverse harem, or Allison’s Adventures in Underland for fantasy romance.

Do C.M. Stunich books need to be read in order?

Yes, within each series. Many of her books are strongly serialized, especially the school-romance, reverse-harem, and fantasy series.

Are The Havoc Boys and Scarlett Force connected?

Yes. Scarlett Force is set in the same world as The Havoc Boys. Read The Havoc Boys first.

Are Rich Boys of Burberry Prep and Adamson All-Boys Academy connected?

They are closely associated in the academy-bully-romance lane. Read Rich Boys of Burberry Prep first if you want the smoothest route.

Yes. C.M. Stunich has also published as Violet Blaze.

Is Stalking Nightmares released?

I found it listed as book four of Scarlett Force, and the author’s official upcoming page identifies it as the final Scarlett Force book. I did not find enough stable confirmation to treat it as a definitely released title in this article.

No. The Tate James collaborations are separate projects and do not need to be read before the C.M. Stunich-only series.
