Jason Pound Books in Order (Updated March 25, 2026)

Jason Pound writes adult MM romance and erotica, often in short-novel and novella form. The biggest reading-order issue is not continuity confusion inside the clearly numbered series. It is that a large part of the catalog sits in retailer-branded lines where the public numbering is not always stable across storefronts.

That means the safest rule is simple: read the numbered series in order, then treat the longer ongoing labels as publication-order shelves rather than tightly plotted universes.

The best way to read Jason Pound

Use this path if you want the least messy route:

1. Read the clearly numbered series first.
2. Then read the ongoing branded lines such as MM Friends Experimenting and MM Older Men Behaving Badly in publication order.
3. Treat one-off books, bundles, and omnibus editions as optional extras unless they are labeled as a specific series entry.

The clearly numbered series

Jason Pound’s Fan Requests

This is one of the easiest Jason Pound sequences to follow because the numbering is explicit and compact.

1. The Free Use Office (2023): A short opener that establishes the reader-request format and starts the series with a direct, premise-driven setup.
2. Manual Therapy (2023): The second entry keeps the same short, high-concept structure while shifting to a different scenario.
3. Like Father, Like Son (2023): A third request-based story that continues the collection’s standalone-but-numbered approach.
4. Taken By My Mother’s Boyfriend (2023): The fourth story extends the series without changing its anthology-style format.
5. Best Friends and Brothers (2023): The fifth and currently confirmed final entry rounds out the set as another short, self-contained fan-request story.

The Men of Chandler University

This is a small, straightforward series and one of the cleaner starting points if you want something more clearly structured.

1. Unlocked (2024): The series begins with a university-set MM romance that opens the Chandler world through a new adult setup.
2. Unbroken (2024): The second book continues the Chandler line with an older-academic angle and works best after the first novel.

Blackstone Security

This is one of Pound’s more recent and more traditionally organized series.

1. Guarded Hearts (2025): A bodyguard romance that launches the security-world setup and introduces the series’ protective, suspense-leaning tone.
2. Line of Duty (2025): The second book stays in the same Blackstone framework and expands the world through another guarded relationship.
3. Hard Protection (2025): The third entry continues the security line and is best read after the first two even if it can function on its own.

The Manny

At the moment this looks like a series start rather than a finished multi-book run.

Summer Lessons (2025): A nanny-centered MM romance that opens the line and currently stands as the only confirmed book in the series.

Family Tides

This is a newer branch and currently appears to have one confirmed installment.

Steps Beyond Brotherhood (2025): A second-chance, family-tension romance that starts the Family Tides line and is presently the only verified entry.

Elite Arrangements

This is another recent series with a clear internal order.

1. The Arrangement (2025): The opening book introduces the premise and starts the series in the cleanest possible place.
2. The Experiment (2026): The second book continues the line and should be read after the opener.

The ongoing branded lines

These are real Jason Pound shelves, but they are harder to present as one neat numbered order because storefront counts and grouping labels shift.

MM Friends Experimenting

This is one of Pound’s biggest recurring labels. It is best treated as a broad line of connected-by-theme standalones rather than a single plot-driven saga.

Confirmed entries include:

• Sam’s Secret
• More Than Roommates
• Bent Over For My Best Friend
• A Long, Hard Summer
• The Pact
• My Big Best Friend
• Too Close To My Best Friend
• Industrial Heat
• The Bet
• Taking Aaron’s Innocence

How to read it: use publication order if you want to work through the whole line, but you can also pick by trope because the books appear to be largely self-contained.

MM Older Men Behaving Badly

This is the other major ongoing Jason Pound label, and it has the same issue: it is clearly a branded line, but public storefront counts vary.

Confirmed entries include:

• Taken By Carl
• The Lightning Duo
• Jason Pound’s Halloween Nightmare
• Taken By My Dad’s Best Friend
• A First With The Man Next Door
• The Free Use House
• Cuffed To My Best Friend’s Dad
• The Boy Next Door
• Into The Deep End
• Good Boy
• What He Doesn’t Know

How to read it: publication order is the safest method, but these also look far closer to trope-linked standalones than to one serialized storyline.

Standalones and loose sub-branding

A number of Jason Pound books are best handled separately unless the author or retailer later gives them a firmer series home.

• Owned By My Girlfriend’s Father (2025): A later father-themed MM title that is currently easier to treat as a standalone or a sub-brand entry than as part of one numbered core series.
• Broken In By My Girlfriend’s Father: One of the author’s more visible early standalones, and still best treated independently unless you are grouping books by trope.
• Shared By My Girlfriend’s Father: Another standalone-style title in the same general lane.
• Alone With My Girlfriend’s Father: Best shelved as a separate read unless you are reading all of the similarly branded titles together.
• Taken On His Wedding Day: A standalone-style novella that fits the short-form side of the catalog.
• Shared By My Professors: Another separate short work rather than a confirmed numbered series entry.

Collections and bundles

Jason Pound also has omnibus and bundle editions. These are useful for convenience, but they are not new reading-order steps.

• Jason Pound’s Fan Requests: 5 MM Short Stories
• 20 Story Gay Erotica Bundle
• Other four-story or themed collection editions that gather existing short works

Recommended starting points

Pick the entry that matches how you want to read:

1. Start with Unlocked if you want the clearest traditional series entry.
2. Start with Guarded Hearts if you want the newer romance-suspense lane.
3. Start with The Free Use Office if you want a very short, clearly numbered sampler.
4. Start with The Pact or The Bet if you want to try the broader MM Friends Experimenting line.
5. Start with Good Boy if you want one of the more recent MM Older Men Behaving Badly titles.

Do you need a chronological order?

No.

Jason Pound is much easier to read by series label and publication order than by trying to force one master chronology across the full catalog. The numbered series are straightforward. The bigger themed lines are best treated as flexible shelves.

Latest release status

As of March 25, 2026, the newest clearly indexed Jason Pound books I found include Good Boy in MM Older Men Behaving Badly, The Bet in MM Friends Experimenting, and The Experiment, which continues Elite Arrangements. That makes Elite Arrangements, Blackstone Security, and the two large branded lines the most active parts of the current catalog.
