Kathleen Kelly Books in Order (Updated May 29, 2026)

Kathleen Kelly is an Australian romance author best known for dark MC romance, romantic suspense, biker worlds, outlaw families, sports romance, and contemporary romance with erotic elements.

Her most important series is Savage Angels MC, which should be read in order. Several later books and spin-offs also work better if you understand the club-world background first.

The safest starting point is Savage Stalker (2014). Readers who want a newer series can begin with Property of Blade (2025), but that path is better if you are comfortable entering a paranormal MC branch without reading the older catalog first.

Read This First

1. Read Savage Angels MC first if you want Kathleen Kelly’s main continuity.
2. Read MacKenny Brothers after Savage Angels if you want the band / brotherhood side of her catalog.
3. Read Royal Bastards MC: Jacksonville, FL or Kings of Anarchy MC: Alaska if you want her newer MC branches.

Read shared-world titles only after the main series unless you are following the full multi-author project.

Savage Angels MC Books in Order

The author’s site specifically notes that Savage Angels MC is best read in order. This is the core Kathleen Kelly series and the cleanest place to begin.

2. Savage Fire (2015): The second book, continuing the early club setup and deepening the Savage Angels continuity.
3. Savage Town (2015): The third entry, keeping the series inside the same MC world and expanding the club’s personal stakes.
4. Savage Lover (2016): A middle-series Savage Angels romance that should stay after the first three books for character and club context.
5. Savage Sacrifice (2016): A darker-sounding installment that continues the club’s emotional and dangerous arc.

Recommended Kathleen Kelly Reading Order

For the cleanest full read, use this path:

1. Savage Angels MC
2. Korrupted Angels
3. MacKenny Brothers
4. Wraith
5. Tackling Romance
6. Affinity Chronicles
7. Royal Bastards MC: Jacksonville, FL
8. Clubhouse Women
9. Kings of Anarchy MC: Alaska
10. Eternal Sins MC
11. Savage Angels MC: Next Generation
12. Standalones, shared-world books, and anthologies

This keeps the main MC continuity first and places the later shared-world and paranormal branches after readers understand Kelly’s core style.

Chronological Reading Order

A full chronological timeline is not useful for every Kathleen Kelly book.

Use publication order for a complete backlist read, but use series order inside Savage Angels MC, MacKenny Brothers, Wraith, Royal Bastards MC, Kings of Anarchy MC: Alaska, and Eternal Sins MC.

Chronological order matters most in connected series. It matters much less for shared-world and anthology entries.

FAQs

What is the first Kathleen Kelly book?

The first core Kathleen Kelly book is Savage Stalker (2014), book one of Savage Angels MC.

What is the best Kathleen Kelly book to start with?

Start with Savage Stalker if you want the main reading path. Start with Property of Blade if you want the newer paranormal MC branch.

Conclusion

The best Kathleen Kelly reading plan is to begin with Savage Stalker and read Savage Angels MC in order. That gives you the core club world before you move into the MacKenny Brothers, Royal Bastards MC, Kings of Anarchy MC: Alaska, and next-generation material.

For a shorter modern route, begin with Property of Blade, then continue through Property of Vex and the upcoming Kings of Anarchy MC: Alaska books. Save collections and shared-world titles for later.
