K.L. Kreig Books in Order (Updated April 10, 2026)

K.L. Kreig’s catalog is small enough to read cleanly, but it splits into very different lanes. There is one paranormal romance series, one contemporary family-connected series, one duet, and a pair of standalones. The safest approach is not to force everything into one master timeline.

It is to choose the kind of read you want and then stay inside that lane until you finish it.

The shelf map

If you want K.L. Kreig in the simplest possible terms, think of the books like this:

1. For contemporary connected romance: The Colloway Brothers
2. For duet structure and a cliffhanger middle: Finding Me
3. For paranormal romance: Regent Vampire Lords
4. For standalones: Black Swan Affair and Time Stamps

For most new readers, the best starting point is Black Swan Affair (2016) if you want one book first, or Forsaking Gray (2015) if you want to enter through a series.

What to read first, depending on your mood

1. Start with Black Swan Affair if you want the most talked-about K.L. Kreig title and do not want to commit to multiple books right away.
2. Start with Forsaking Gray if you want a connected family-style contemporary romance series with four full novels and one short prequel.
3. Start with Lost in Between only if you are happy beginning a duet that is meant to be finished in two parts.
4. Start with Surrendering if you specifically want vampires, fated-mate energy, and an earlier paranormal romance line.

The Colloway Brothers

This is the clearest series path for readers who want a multi-book contemporary romance run. Goodreads lists four main novels, and the official site also gives the series its own section. The short prequel is useful, but it is not required before book one.

0.5. Finding Gray (2016): A short introduction to the Colloway world that works best as a bonus entry before or after book one, not as the main place to begin.

1. Forsaking Gray (2015): A lies-and-betrayal opening that launches the Colloway line and remains the best series entry point.
2. Undeniably Asher (2015): A second-chance-style follow-up built around scars, memory, and possibility, best read after Forsaking Gray.
3. Luke’s Absolution (2016): A heavier redemption-centered installment, with regret and absolution sitting at the center of Luke’s story.
4. Destination Connelly (2016): The closing main novel, framed around treachery, destiny, and forgiveness, and best saved for the end of the series.

Best way to read this series

For most readers, read Forsaking Gray first, then move straight through the numbered books, and drop Finding Gray in as an optional extra whenever you want more context. Publication order is fine, but reader experience is usually smoother if the short prequel does not interrupt the main arc too early.

Finding Me duet

This is a two-book story, and it should be treated that way. Goodreads explicitly labels it a duet, and public summaries make clear that book one sets up a contract-relationship premise that carries directly into the conclusion.

1. Lost in Between (2017): Shaw and Willow’s story begins with a high-stakes arrangement, and the book is designed as the opening half rather than a complete standalone.
2. Found Underneath (2017): The conclusion to the duet, closing the emotional and romantic fallout that begins in Lost in Between.

Best way to read this series

Do not split these books up with other K.L. Kreig titles in between. Read them back to back.

Regent Vampire Lords

This is the earlier paranormal branch. It is separate from the author’s contemporary romance books and best approached on its own terms. Goodreads and the official site both list four books in the series.

1. Surrendering (2014): The series opener, with vampires, danger, and a casual arrangement that clearly does not stay casual for long.
2. Belonging (2015): A trust-centered follow-up that continues the series’ paranormal romance line.
3. Reawakening (2015): The third book, shifting into a possessive and emotionally charged continuation of the vampire world.
4. Evading (2016): The fourth entry, built around threat, protection, and escape, and best read after the first three.

Best way to read this series

Read these in order. This is the one part of K.L. Kreig’s catalog where there is no good reason to jump around.

Standalone novels

These are the easiest books to sample if you are not sure which series lane suits you yet.

1. Black Swan Affair (2016): A standalone angsty romance that remains K.L. Kreig’s most popular book on Goodreads and the simplest entry point for brand-new readers.
2. Time Stamps (2021): A later standalone centered on Laurel and Roth, positioned on the official site and product page as an emotional love story about milestones, heartbreak, and devotion over time.

Recommended reading orders

If you want the best first experience

1. Black Swan Affair (2016): The cleanest one-book test of whether K.L. Kreig’s emotional style works for you.
2. Forsaking Gray (2015): The best next step if you want a full series afterward.
3. Undeniably Asher (2015): Keeps you inside the strongest contemporary series lane.
4. Luke’s Absolution (2016): Continues the Colloway run.
5. Destination Connelly (2016): Finishes the main Colloway line.
6. Lost in Between (2017): Then move to the duet.
7. Found Underneath (2017): Finish the duet immediately.
8. Time Stamps (2021): Save the newer standalone for later.
9. Surrendering (2014): Then circle back to the paranormal series if you want it.
10. Belonging (2015)
11. Reawakening (2015)
12. Evading (2016)

If you want strict by-series reading

1. Read The Colloway Brothers
2. Then Finding Me
3. Then the standalones
4. Then Regent Vampire Lords

That order keeps the contemporary material grouped together and leaves the paranormal books as their own separate mood.

Is there a full universal order?

Not really. K.L. Kreig’s books are better thought of as separate projects, not one interconnected super-series. The official site itself divides the catalog by line rather than presenting a single master sequence, which is the clearest signal that readers should choose by series or by mood.

Latest release status

The newest clearly verifiable K.L. Kreig title I found is Time Stamps (2021). The official website still actively features it on the home page and in the shop, but I did not find a newer confirmed novel release on the official site or the major catalog pages I checked.

Final answer

If you want one K.L. Kreig book, read Black Swan Affair.

If you want one K.L. Kreig series, read The Colloway Brothers in this order:

1. Forsaking Gray (2015): The proper doorway into the series.
2. Undeniably Asher (2015): The strongest follow-on once the family and emotional tone are in place.
3. Luke’s Absolution (2016): The redemption-heavy third entry.
4. Destination Connelly (2016): The best stopping point for the full run.
5. Finding Gray (2016): Optional bonus material when you want extra background.
