Lila Rose Books in Order (Updated February 15, 2026)

This guide is for Lila Rose the romance author behind the Hawks Motorcycle Club books (not the public-figure Lila Rose who writes nonfiction).

Her romance catalog is organized into clear series lanes, and the safest way to read is simple: pick one lane and follow its numbering (including the decimal novellas).

Three ways to start without regret

• Start at the beginning of her core world: Holding Out (Hawks Motorcycle Club #1)
• Start with the “next generation” of that world: Coyote (Hawks MC: Next Generation #1)
• Start outside the MC world for something lighter: Making Changes (Making Series #1) or Fumbled Love (Clumsy Love #1)

---

What connects to what

• Hawks Motorcycle Club is the “parent” lane.
• Hawks MC: Caroline Springs Charter and Hawks MC: Next Generation are related lanes (shared world / references land better in order).
• Diamond MC intersects in the broader universe and is easiest after you’re comfortable with the MC tone, but it can be read on its own.

Making Series

1. Making Changes: A rom-com-leaning reinvention story where rebuilding a life makes room for love.
2. Making Sense: A plus-size rom-com where confidence, desire, and self-worth get treated as the main plot.

---

Clumsy Love

1. Fumbled Love: A clumsy-teacher / football-star rom-com where an old crush returns with grown-up heat.
2. Bumbled Love: A sports rom-com where instant attraction turns into a relationship that doesn’t stay “just fun.”

---

Trinity Love

1. Left to Chance: A plus-size romance where a one-night stand turns into a determined pursuit.
2. Love of Liberty: A novella-length, adult MMF romance where freedom and desire collide with real stakes.

---

Single-title lane

• Her Sweet Revenge: A standalone-style revenge romance where payback gets complicated by chemistry.

---

Does chronological order change anything?

Not much. For this author, chronological and publication order are effectively the same inside each lane. The only “chronological” adjustment most readers make is simply: read the decimal novellas where their number places them (#2.5, #4.5, #5.5).

---

A reader-first recommended path

If you want maximum continuity with minimal effort:

1. Hawks Motorcycle Club (including #2.5 and #4.5)
2. Caroline Springs Charter (including #4.5 and #5.5)
3. Next Generation
4. Then choose based on mood: Diamond MC (darker biker lane) or Making / Clumsy Love (lighter rom-com lanes)

Latest release snapshot

Listings commonly show The Night in His Office as a recent standalone release, with Romania and Up in a Blaze among the newest major series entries.

FAQs

Can I start with Next Generation?
Yes, but it lands better if you’ve read at least Hawks Motorcycle Club #1–#4 first, because the world rules and references feel more natural.

Do I need the volumes/box sets?
No. They’re bundles, not new continuity.

Is Diamond MC required for the Hawks books?
No. It’s best treated as its own lane; any crossover reads as a bonus.

Bottom line

If you want the cleanest “full world” entry point: Holding Out: A club-adjacent romance where loyalty and survival collide with a relationship that won’t stay casual. Then keep going in series order and include the decimal novellas where they belong.
