Lisa Lovell’s backlist falls into two broad lanes: earlier contemporary and motorcycle-club romance, then a long run of Russian mafia and Bratva series. The practical rule is to read each named series in order, because most of the later books are built as tight duologies or trilogies where book two assumes you already know the couple, conflict, and family setup from book one.

For most readers, the easiest place to begin is Savage Heir, the first Borisov Bratva book. It sits early in her mafia catalog, gives you a clean introduction to the darker side of her work, and leads naturally into the later Bratva series.

Lisa Lovell books in publication order
Rogue County Rangers
- Luke (2020): The opening book in Lisa Lovell’s Rogue County Rangers series and the right place to start her earlier small-town contemporary romance line.
- Rhodes (2020): A second connected romance in the same world, best read after Luke so the recurring setting and character links land in order.
- Max (2020): Expands the Ranger circle again, continuing the series’ shared-world approach rather than acting like a full reset.
- Jake (2020): Keeps the same continuity moving, so it works best once the earlier books have already introduced the core cast.
- Chief (2020): The fifth main entry and the natural stopping point for readers working through the Rangers books in sequence.
Billionaires Love Curves
- Getting Shane (2020): The entry point for this billionaire-romance set and the safest first book if you want this part of Lisa Lovell’s catalog.
- Breaking Drake (2020): The second installment, also listed under the alternate title At Her Mercy, and best read after Getting Shane.
- Loving Zachary (2020): The third book, also listed as At His Mercy, continuing the same linked series flow.
- Taming Jackson (2020): The fourth book, also found as Heated Lies, closing out the main run of this series.
Rogue County MC
- Damon (2020): The series opener for Lisa Lovell’s motorcycle-club romance line and the best starting point for readers who prefer the MC books over the mafia books.
- Phoenix (2020): Builds directly on the club world introduced in Damon, making it a stronger read in order than as a standalone jump-in.
- Raven (2020): Continues the same MC continuity, adding another central romance inside the established club setting.
- Stryker (2021): Pushes the series forward once the club relationships and internal dynamics are already familiar.
- Ryder (2021): The fifth main installment, best saved for last within the Rogue County MC sequence.
Broken Throne
- Mob Boss’ Curvy Hostage (2021): Opens this early mafia-romance set and marks a clear move toward the darker direction Lisa Lovell would develop further later on.
- Mob Boss’ Forbidden Obsession (2021): Stays in the same connected underworld space, making it a better second step than a standalone sample.
- Mob Boss’ Unexpected Bride (2021): Continues the series’ organized-crime romance framework with another linked installment.
- Mob Boss’ Secret Baby (2021): The fourth book in the sequence, best read after the earlier family and loyalty dynamics are already in place.
- Mob Boss’ Ever After (2021): The fifth book and the closest thing this set has to a capstone volume.
Perfect Monsters
- Desired by the Killer (2021): The opening book in this darker romance sequence and the correct starting point for the series.
- Taken by the Killer (2021): Continues the same setup and tone, so it is strongest when read right after book one.
- Corrupted by the Killer (2021): The third entry, deepening the same dark-romance continuity rather than restarting from scratch.
- Sold by the Killer (2021): Keeps the sequence moving with another connected installment in the same line.
- Claimed by the Killer (2021): The fifth book and the best final stop for readers finishing the core Perfect Monsters run.
Borisov Bratva
- Savage Heir (2022): The best gateway into Lisa Lovell’s Bratva era and the clearest starting point for readers coming specifically for the mafia books.
- Ruthless King (2022): Builds on the Bratva world introduced in Savage Heir, so it works best as the immediate follow-up.
- Damaged Empire (2022): The third Borisov book, broadening the family and power structure established in the first two entries.
- Brutal Prince (2022): Continues the same connected Bratva line and lands better once the earlier relationships are already familiar.
- Reckless Vows (2022): The fifth Borisov novel and the natural endpoint for this longer Bratva sequence.
Ivanov Bratva
- Scarred Devil (2022): Starts a new Bratva branch and serves as the required entry point for the Ivanov trilogy.
- Fierce Sinner (2022): The middle volume, designed to follow Scarred Devil rather than be read on its own.
- Shattered Oath (2022): Finishes the trilogy’s core arc and should be read last within Ivanov Bratva.
Vassiliev Bratva
- Arrogant Beast (2023): Opens the Vassiliev trilogy and introduces the family line that drives this series.
- Heartless Liar (2023): Continues the trilogy in order, keeping the same underworld setting and connected structure.
- Ravaged Hearts (2023): Closes the Vassiliev run and works best after the first two books.
Ulianov Bratva
- Crimson Fury (2023): The first half of this Bratva duo and the only sensible place to start it.
- Crimson Wrath (2023): The second half of the duo, meant to follow the setup laid down in Crimson Fury.
Yakov Bratva
- Marble Scars (2023): Opens the Yakov duo and introduces this particular Bratva branch.
- Marble Sins (2023): Completes the pair and should be read only after Marble Scars.
Vyronov Bratva
- Ruby Mayhem (2024): Begins the Vyronov duo and is the correct starting point for this series.
- Ruby Menace (2024): Finishes the duo, so reading it second preserves the intended order and payoff.
Korolev Bratva
- Ruthless Lullaby (2024): Starts the Korolev duo and works well for readers who want a later entry point without jumping into book two of a set.
- Ruthless Serenade (2024): The direct follow-up and the proper second book in Korolev Bratva.
Tarasov Bratva
- Porcelain Lies (2025): Opens the Tarasov duo and sets up the relationship and conflict framework for the second book.
- Porcelain Vows (2025): Resolves the duo’s central arc and is best read immediately after Porcelain Lies.
Sidorov Bratva
- Scarlet Thorns (2025): The first Sidorov Bratva novel and the right starting place for this newer duo.
- Scarlet Chains (2025): The second book, written to follow the continuity established in Scarlet Thorns.
Rogov Bratva
- Untamed Hunger (2026): The opening Rogov Bratva book and the current place to start if you want Lisa Lovell’s newest verified release line.
- Untamed Thirst (2026): The second Rogov novel, intended to be read after Untamed Hunger.
The recommended way to read Lisa Lovell
If you want the most reliable first-time path, use this order:
- Borisov Bratva
- Ivanov Bratva
- Vassiliev Bratva
- Ulianov Bratva
- Yakov Bratva
- Vyronov Bratva
- Korolev Bratva
- Tarasov Bratva
- Sidorov Bratva
- Rogov Bratva
This route works because it starts with one of her earlier and longer Bratva sequences, then moves forward through the later family branches as they were released. It preserves introductions, avoids dropping into the middle of a duo, and keeps the development of her mafia catalog easy to follow.
Readers who want the full backlist can go earlier than that:
- Rogue County Rangers
- Billionaires Love Curves
- Rogue County MC
- Broken Throne
- Perfect Monsters
- Then all of the Bratva series in publication order
That broader route is useful for completionists, but it is not necessary if your real goal is just the Bratva books.
Do you need a chronological order?
Not really. I did not find a separate official timeline that meaningfully improves on publication order, and for a catalog built around short connected series, publication order already does the job. In practice, “chronological” and “publication” are effectively the same reading advice here: start at book one of a given series and move forward without skipping.
Box sets, omnibus editions, and extras
Some Lisa Lovell series also appear in collected editions or omnibus form. Those are best treated as alternate formats, not as separate entries in the reading order. Read the individual books in sequence and use the box set only if that is the edition you own.
I did not find a clearly verified novella or short-story list that needs to be inserted between the main novels, so there is no confirmed side-reading order to worry about here.
Where should you start?
That depends on what you want from Lisa Lovell:
- Start with Savage Heir if you want the best all-around entrance into her mafia catalog.
- Start with Ruthless Lullaby if you want a later, newer Bratva entry point.
- Start with Luke if you want to begin at the earliest visible part of her backlist instead of jumping straight to mafia romance.
The main mistake to avoid is beginning with a second book such as Ruby Menace, Ruthless Serenade, Porcelain Vows, Scarlet Chains, or Untamed Thirst. Her newer catalog is very readable once you begin each set at book one, but much less friendly if you drop into the back half of a duo.

FAQ
What is the best Lisa Lovell series to start with?
For most readers, Borisov Bratva is the strongest starting series because it sits early in her Bratva output and gives you a smooth lead-in to the later books.
Are Lisa Lovell’s Bratva books all one long series?
They are split into separate named family series, usually duologies or trilogies, but publication order is still the safest way to read across the whole mafia side of her catalog.
Can I read the newer duologies on their own?
Yes. A duo like Korolev Bratva or Tarasov Bratva can be read on its own, as long as you start with book one of that set.
Are there alternate titles in her backlist?
Yes. At least part of Billionaires Love Curves is also listed under alternate titles, so title matching matters when you are checking an ebook store or Goodreads shelf.
Final verdict
Lisa Lovell is easiest to read when you think in series blocks, not in one giant mixed list. Start with Savage Heir if you want the safest recommendation, then keep moving forward through the Bratva books in publication order. If you prefer the latest material, begin with Ruthless Lullaby or Untamed Hunger, but always make sure you are entering that branch at book one.
