Kristine Allen Books in Order (Updated May 30, 2026)

Kristine Allen writes contemporary romance, romantic suspense, motorcycle-club romance, mafia romance, hockey romance, rock-star romance, and paranormal-leaning dark romance. Her books are connected by several recurring worlds, but they do not all belong to one single timeline.

The best place to begin is Colton’s Salvation, because it opens the original Demented Sons MC series. Readers who prefer hockey romance can start with Hooking, while readers who want darker motorcycle-club romance can begin Voodoo in Royal Bastards MC: Ankeny, IA.

Allen’s catalogue is easiest to understand as two main roads. One road follows her own connected clubs and teams. The other road includes multi-author worlds, spin-offs, and event-series books.

The Core Road

Start here if you want the main Kristine Allen reading experience.

1. Demented Sons MC
2. Straight Wicked
3. Demented Sons MC: Texas
4. Iced
5. Royal Bastards MC: Ankeny, IA
6. Royal Bastards MC: Dallas, TX
7. La Famiglia De Luca
8. Kings of Anarchy MC: Louisiana
9. Russian Bratva Duet

That path preserves most character links, club movement, and world expansion.

The Side Roads

These books are connected to shared worlds, anthologies, or spin-off projects.

1. The Weight of Honor
2. Roses Are Red
3. Frosty the Biker
4. Heads or Tails
5. Broomsticks and Bloodstains
6. Snowflakes and Bloodstains
7. Collections and anthologies

They are useful for completionists, but they are not the best first stop.

Kristine Allen Books in Publication Order by Series

Demented Sons MC

Core series. Read in order.

This is Allen’s first released series and the foundation for several later connections. Start here if you want the cleanest route into her motorcycle-club and veteran-romance world.

1. Colton’s Salvation (2017): A former soldier loses his purpose after the army and is forced to face civilian life when a woman from his past appears carrying his child.
2. Mason’s Resolution (2017): Mason is a broken combat veteran who finds new purpose through the Demented Sons MC before a woman turns his rebuilt world upside down.
3. Erik’s Absolution (2017): Erik survives war and betrayal but keeps drowning in guilt until the club and a stage-performing heroine pull him toward something worth fighting for.
4. Kayde’s Temptation (2018): Kayde runs from the woman he wants most, only for danger to bring her back and force him to choose between guilt and protection.
5. Snow’s Addiction (2021): Snow, the Demented Sons president, is trapped by grief until a nameless one-night stand returns and threatens to burn through every wall he has left.

Straight Wicked

Rock-star romance series. Read in order.

This series follows the members and family orbit of the band Straight Wicked. Each book has its own romance, but publication order gives the best view of the band’s emotional fallout.

1. Make Music With Me (2018): Levi, the lead singer of Straight Wicked, is in love with his late brother’s fiancée and must turn grief into the possibility of a new future.
2. Snare My Heart (2019): Dominic, the band’s drummer, uses a marriage-of-convenience setup to claim the woman who wants nothing to do with him.
3. No Treble Allowed (2019): Logan, the bass player, battles addiction, damage, and forbidden desire for the one woman who makes him feel almost salvageable.
4. String Me Up (2019): Aiden, the lead guitarist, faces the woman who broke him and must decide whether revenge or old love has the stronger hold.

Demented Sons MC: Texas

Spin-off MC series. Read in order, with the prequel optional first.

This branch moves the Demented Sons world into the Texas chapter. Got Your Six is a prequel and can be read before book one or after the main four books.

0.5. Got Your Six (2022): Owen leaves the Marine Corps with ghosts he cannot outrun, until Tori and her difficult dog become the unexpected start of his second chance.

1. Lock and Load (2019): Lock is a single father and Sergeant-at-Arms trying to protect his daughter, his club, and a woman who lands in the middle of danger.
2. Styx and Stones (2019): Styx falls hard after a beach encounter with a schoolteacher, but her past turns his obsession into a threat he may not survive.
3. Smoke and Mirrors (2020): Smoke, the Texas chapter president, is forced to balance club leadership, fatherhood, an old ghost, and a romance that could get him killed.
4. Jax and Jokers (2020): Jax tries to walk away after one wild night with a waitress, but a hurricane and club danger force him to admit she was already his.

Iced

Hockey romance series. Read in order.

The Iced series follows the Austin Amurs hockey team. It also has character links to the Demented Sons and Royal Bastards worlds, so it works best after the earlier MC books, though hockey-first readers can begin here.

1. Hooking (2020): Alex Kosinski, a traded left wing, risks both hockey and a forbidden relationship when Sydney becomes the one thing he refuses to give up.
2. Tripping (2021): Cameron McGregor has everything he wants from hockey until Bleu’s hatred of players makes winning her back harder than winning on the ice.
3. Roughing (2021): Kristoffer Halvorson marries his late friend’s pregnant partner and discovers that protecting her may cost him his career and his life.
4. Holding (2022): Jordan Beck, an Amurs goaltender from hockey royalty, ruins a fragile relationship with Blair when old baggage and an unexpected baby complication arrive.
5. Fighting Love (2022): Mikko Heikkinen meets Sutton while she is traveling alone on what should have been her honeymoon, turning a no-attachment rule into a fight for permanence.

Royal Bastards MC: Ankeny, IA

Dark MC / paranormal-leaning branch. Read in order.

This is part of the larger multi-author Royal Bastards MC world, but Allen’s Ankeny chapter has its own internal order. Read it in sequence because later books build on the chapter’s enemies, secrets, and supernatural turns.

1. Voodoo (2020): Ogun “Voodoo” Dupré does the dirty work for the Ankeny chapter, but one hesitation puts him between the Bratva, his father, and the woman he must protect.
2. Angel (2020): Jude “Angel” Bearheart, the club’s enforcer, becomes the hunted when a woman with a gun demands a deal he never expected.
3. A Very Venom Christmas (2020): Venom’s loosely Christmas-set story turns a secret pregnancy and winter danger into a brutal protective romance.
4. Chains (2021): Nico “Chains” Trinidad is separated from forbidden Jasmine after their connection explodes, then returns to save her from enemies and secrets.
5. Haunting Ghost (2021): Ghost, once Lucian Stone, carries prison, loss, and an old love story into a second-chance romance with a tragic past.
6. Charming Phoenix (2022): Phoenix escapes a bad breakup on an out-of-town mission and ends up protecting a woman whose secrets make them both targets.
7. Sabre (2022): Sabre’s story moves into reincarnation, forbidden soulmates, punishment, and supernatural danger tied to the Ankeny chapter.
8. Facet (2023): Damien “Facet” Blackwood is the club’s tech expert, but a black-market adoption case and one killing reveal that his identity is darker than he believed.

Royal Bastards MC: Dallas, TX

Read after the Ankeny books if possible.

The Dallas chapter grows out of the Ankeny material, especially through Raptor’s move back to Texas. Start with Taming Raptor and read straight through Blade.

1. Taming Raptor (2022): Raptor returns to Texas to rebuild the Dallas chapter, but Sage’s arrival on another man’s bike drags old desire and new threats into the open.
2. Raptor’s Revenge (2022): Raptor and Sage’s story continues after their first happy-for-now ending, with unresolved danger and emotional fallout still closing in.
3. Sparking Ares (2023): Ares, formerly Soap from the Demented Sons MC, joins the Royal Bastards for revenge and finds himself protecting the woman he first meant to use.
4. Blade (2024): Blade is the Dallas chapter’s darkest fixer, but Eliska’s return forces him to face the woman he ran from and the club war gathering around them.

La Famiglia De Luca

Mafia romance series. Read in order.

This is Allen’s mafia branch, connected to the broader Motorcycles, Mobsters, and Mayhem / Mayhem Makers style of shared dark-romance events. The De Luca books are standalone romance arcs, but order gives the best family progression.

1. Blood Lust (2023): Gabriel, a young La Cosa Nostra don, claims a woman for six months after betrayal puts her in his control and makes her a liability he cannot let go.
2. Blood Money (2023): Vittorio, the De Luca underboss, faces the woman he once lost while a brewing war turns their secrets into weapons.
3. Blood Ties (2023): Alessio, the family hitman known as The Huntsman, is ordered to kill a woman and instead becomes her hunted protector.
4. Blood Moon (2025): Leo’s story follows the youngest De Luca brother, whose grief, reckless choices, and family targets pull him into another dangerous mafia romance.

Kings of Anarchy MC: Louisiana

Paranormal MC romance. Read in order.

This is Allen’s Louisiana chapter in the broader Kings of Anarchy MC world. The books are connected by chapter setting but are also described as standalone-friendly.

1. Property of Mako (2025): Mako drags Lyra into the violent Kings of Anarchy world, where monsters, betrayal, and blood debts make trust almost impossible.
2. Property of Crypt Keeper (2026): Crypt Keeper, a rougarou, collides with Katalina, a werewolf hunter, turning an assassination threat into an enemies-to-lovers paranormal MC romance.

Release dates for Property of Crypt Keeper vary across retailer listings. Treat it as a 2026 title and check your preferred store before placing it as already available.

Russian Bratva Duet

Dark mafia duet. Read in order.

This duet follows Sofia and Maksim. Do not start with book two, because the first book ends with story continuation clearly expected.

1. Broomsticks and Bloodstains (2025): Sofia and Maksim’s dark Bratva story begins with obsessive danger, attraction, and a cliffhanger-style continuation.
2. Snowflakes and Bloodstains (2026): The duet continues as Maksim’s enemies close in, Sofia becomes a target, and survival depends on embracing the darkness around them.

Russian Bratva Collection

• Lethal Love: The Russian Bratva Duet (2026): A collected edition of Broomsticks and Bloodstains and Snowflakes and Bloodstains, best used if you want the duet in one volume.

Archontes Society

Separate dark-romance / shared-world-style title.

• Heads or Tails (2024): A darker society-linked romance listed separately from Allen’s main MC and mafia series, best treated as a side-road title.

Spin-Offs and Shared-World Titles

These are optional unless you are reading every appearance and cameo.

1. The Weight of Honor (2021): A SWAT officer and a criminal-defense attorney clash over duty, attraction, and a deadly stalker in a Cuffed & Pinched-linked duet story.
2. Roses Are Red (2021): Rose is a Vegas card player with sharp intuition whose law-bending life turns dangerous enough that Storm Montgomery may be her only way out.
3. Frosty the Biker (2024): A Christmas biker-romance entry in the multi-author Thirteen Bikers for Christmas project.
4. Biker in My Bed (date uncertain): A shorter or shared-world biker title listed in recent-catalogue sources, but the stable release placement was not clear enough to include in the main order.

Collections and Box Sets

Collections do not create new reading-order positions. Use the individual-book order above.

1. Demented Sons Volume One: Books 1-4: Collects Colton’s Salvation, Mason’s Resolution, Erik’s Absolution, and Kayde’s Temptation.
2. Pucking Penalties: The Complete Iced Series (2024): Collects the five Iced hockey romances in their correct order.
3. La Famiglia De Luca: The Mafia Collection: Collects the De Luca mafia stories, including the first three brothers and related bonus material.

5. Beyond the Temptation Vol. 2 (2024): A multi-author anthology containing Kristine Allen material, optional for completists.

Chronological Order

There is no single chronological order for all Kristine Allen books. The safer route is series order.

Use this practical sequence for the most connected reading path:

1. Demented Sons MC
2. Demented Sons MC: Texas
3. Iced
4. Royal Bastards MC: Ankeny, IA
5. Royal Bastards MC: Dallas, TX
6. La Famiglia De Luca
7. Kings of Anarchy MC: Louisiana

35. Snowflakes and Bloodstains

Move Make Music With Me through String Me Up earlier if you want rock-star romance before the darker Royal Bastards books.

Full Straight Wicked Placement

If adding Straight Wicked to the recommended path, place it after Snow’s Addiction or after the Texas Demented Sons books.

1. Make Music With Me
2. Snare My Heart
3. No Treble Allowed
4. String Me Up

That placement gives a tonal break before the hockey and Royal Bastards material.

Latest Kristine Allen Book

The latest clearly confirmed 2026 Kristine Allen publication found during this update is Lethal Love: The Russian Bratva Duet, a collected edition dated March 2026.

Property of Crypt Keeper is also a 2026 listing, but retailer dates conflict, with some listings showing March 2026 and others showing June 2026. Because of that conflict, it is best treated as a 2026 Kings of Anarchy MC: Louisiana title rather than used as the sole “latest book” marker.

FAQ

What Kristine Allen book should I read first?

Start with Colton’s Salvation. It begins the original Demented Sons MC series and gives the clearest introduction to Allen’s club, veteran, and romantic-suspense style.

Do Kristine Allen’s books need to be read in publication order?

No. Read by series. Publication order only matters inside connected branches such as Demented Sons MC, Iced, Royal Bastards MC, and La Famiglia De Luca.

Is Demented Sons MC connected to Iced?

Yes, there are character links. The Iced series follows the Austin Amurs hockey team, and official series notes connect some players to earlier Allen characters.

Should I read Royal Bastards MC: Ankeny before Royal Bastards MC: Dallas?

Yes. The Dallas chapter grows naturally after the Ankeny material, especially because Raptor’s move to Texas sets up that branch.

Are the La Famiglia De Luca books standalones?

They are romance-arc standalones, but the De Luca family structure works better in order: Blood Lust, Blood Money, Blood Ties, then Blood Moon.

Is Property of Mako a standalone?

It is listed as book one in Kings of Anarchy MC: Louisiana and can be read as a standalone, but it also starts the Louisiana chapter branch.

Do I need to read the anthologies?

No. Anthologies and collections are optional. They are mainly for readers who want every cameo, bonus story, or shared-world event entry.

Where should I place Got Your Six?

Read Got Your Six before Lock and Load if you want the prequel first. Read it after the Texas books if you prefer publication order and want it as backstory.

Conclusion

Kristine Allen’s best reading path begins with Colton’s Salvation and follows the Demented Sons MC world outward. After that, move into the Texas chapter, the Iced hockey books, and the Royal Bastards MC branches.

For mafia romance, use Blood Lust as the De Luca starting point. For the newest darker side-road, read Broomsticks and Bloodstains before Snowflakes and Bloodstains, or use Lethal Love if you want the Russian Bratva duet collected in one volume.
