Naomi West Books in Order (Updated March 12, 2026)

Naomi West is a dark contemporary romance author whose backlist splits into two main lanes: earlier biker and mafia-romance series, then a long run of short Bratva family duets and trilogies.

Order matters most inside each named series, because many of these books are direct continuations or tightly linked family entries rather than true standalones.

Naomi West: the best reading order for most readers

Start with a finished Bratva duet, then keep reading family sets in publication order. For a new reader who wants the cleanest modern entry point, the safest start is:

1. Cruel Romeo (2025)
2. Cruel Juliet (2025)

That route works well because it begins with a recent completed duo, not a partial arc or an older biker run. Naomi West also has many separate series, so there is no single mandatory mega-order across her whole catalog.

How Naomi West’s catalog is organized

Think of Naomi West in three shelves, not one long chain.

Shelf 1: Bratva families
These are the books most readers now mean when they ask for Naomi West in order. Most are duets, with Book 2 directly continuing Book 1.

Shelf 2: earlier mafia and biker series
These are separate runs from the later Bratva families. Read each series in its own order.

Shelf 3: early standalone novels
These sit outside the later family-branded continuity and are best treated as optional.

Naomi West books in publication order, grouped by series

Cobra Kings MC

1. Stud (2018): Opens the Cobra Kings MC run and sets the tone for Naomi West’s earlier biker romances, so it is the right entry point for this mini-series.
2. Stud’s Ink (2018): Continues the Cobra Kings line around the same branded setup, so it works best after Stud.
3. Stud’s Bride (2018): Closes the short Cobra Kings sequence and should be read after the first two for full relationship payoff.

Dark Vultures MC

1. Brute (2018): Starts the Dark Vultures MC strand with an aggressive biker-romance setup and introduces this club’s tone.
2. Curvy for Brute (2019): Returns to the Brute-centered thread, so it makes the most sense as a follow-on rather than a starting point.
3. Bent for Brute (2019): Finishes the short Brute-linked run and is best saved for last within this trio.

Sinners MC

1. Claimed (2019): A standalone entry in the Sinners MC line, best read as its own stop rather than folded into another Naomi West sequence.

Outlaw Biker Brotherhood

1. Devil’s Revenge (2019): Begins the Outlaw Biker Brotherhood series with a heroine pulled into biker violence and club conflict, making it the clear starting point here.
2. Devil’s Ink (2019): Shifts to another dangerous-protector setup inside the same series and should be read second to preserve the series flow.
3. Devil’s Heart (2019): Continues the brotherhood run with another club-focused romance in the same continuity lane.
4. Devil’s Vow (2019): Keeps the series momentum going and belongs after the earlier Outlaw Biker Brotherhood books.
5. Devil’s Sins (2019): Another later-series biker romance that works best once the club world is already established.
6. Devil’s Scar (2019): The last listed book in the sequence and the natural stopping point for this biker run.

Bad Boy Bikers Club

1. Stryker (2020): Opens the Bad Boy Bikers Club series and is the right place to enter this seven-book biker line.
2. Kaeden (2020): A hero-named follow-up in the same club world, best read second.
3. Dakota (2020): Continues the club sequence with an unexpected-baby setup, so it belongs after Kaeden.
4. Ranger (2020): Another connected biker entry that should be read in series order with the rest of the club books.
5. Blade (2020): Keeps the same club continuity going and is not the ideal place to begin the series.
6. Colt (2020): A later Bad Boy Bikers Club installment, best saved until the club cast and rhythm are already in place.
7. Tank (2020): The last listed book in this run and the best final stop for readers doing the full club sequence.

Dirty Dons Club

1. Sergei (2020): Opens the Dirty Dons Club sequence and introduces the character-led mafia-romance structure this series uses.
2. Luca (2020): The second Dirty Dons Club entry, best read after Sergei to keep the internal order intact.
3. Vito (2020): Continues the club’s mafia-romance run with another character-centered installment.
4. Nikolai (2020): A later entry in the same connected line and best approached in order.
5. Adrik (2020): The final listed Dirty Dons Club book and the natural endpoint for this sequence.

Dark Mafia Kingpins

1. Andrei (2020): Starts the Dark Mafia Kingpins run and is the safest entry point for this four-book sequence.
2. Leon (2020): Continues the kingpin line with another character-led installment in the same branded continuity.
3. Damian (2020): A later entry in the sequence, best read once the series world is already established.
4. Ciaran (2020): Closes the listed Dark Mafia Kingpins order and works best as the final book in that run.

Sorokin Bratva

1. Ruined Prince (2022): Opens the Sorokin Bratva duet and should be read first because the second book continues the same family line.
2. Ruined Bride (2022): Completes the Sorokin Bratva duet and belongs immediately after Ruined Prince.

Nikolaev Bratva

1. Dmitry Nikolaev (2022): Book 1 of the Nikolaev Bratva trilogy, introducing the first Nikolaev brother and the series family power structure.
2. Gavriil Nikolaev (2022): Book 2 shifts to Gavriil, whose story includes a boss/employee and pregnancy setup, but it still works best after Dmitry Nikolaev.
3. Bastien Nikolaev (2022): Book 3 follows Bastien, the new don, and serves as the last brother-focused entry in the trilogy.

Tasarov Bratva

1. Midnight Oath (2022): Opens the Tasarov Bratva duet and should be read before the companion second half.
2. Midnight Lies (2022): Finishes the Tasarov Bratva arc, so it is not a good standalone entry point.

Aminoff Bratva

1. Caged Rose (2022): Begins the Aminoff Bratva duet and sets up the conflict that carries forward into Book 2.
2. Caged Thorn (2022): Continues and resolves the duet, making it a direct follow-on to Caged Rose.

Zaitsev Bratva

1. Ruby Malice (2022): Starts the Zaitsev Bratva duet and should be read first for continuity.
2. Ruby Mercy (2022): Concludes the Zaitsev Bratva pair and is best read immediately after Ruby Malice.

Zakharov Bratva

1. Diamond Devil (2023): Opens the Zakharov Bratva duet and is one of Naomi West’s better-known Bratva entry points.
2. Diamond Angel (2023): Completes the Zakharov pair, so it should follow Diamond Devil directly.

Kulikov Bratva

1. Twilight Sins (2024): Starts the Kulikov Bratva duet and introduces that family’s central conflict.
2. Twilight Tears (2024): Finishes the Kulikov duet and is best read as the immediate sequel.

Chekhov Bratva

1. Sinful Blaze (2024): Opens the Chekhov Bratva duet and is a strong alternate starting point if you want a finished 2024 Bratva pair.
2. Sinful Bride (2024): Resolves the Chekhov duet and should be read right after Sinful Blaze.

Adamov Bratva

1. Scarred King (2024): Starts the Adamov Bratva duet and introduces the setup that carries into Book 2.
2. Scarred Queen (2024): Completes the Adamov pair and belongs second.

Pavlov Bratva

1. Dirty Damage (2025): Opens the Pavlov Bratva duet and should be read before its direct sequel.
2. Dirty Grovel (2025): Finishes the Pavlov duet and is not the place to begin this family line.

Krayev Bratva

1. Toxic Temptation (2025): Starts the Krayev Bratva duet and is the right entry point for this pair.
2. Toxic Salvation (2025): Continues and completes the Krayev arc, so it works best as Book 2 only.

Gubarev Bratva

1. Cruel Romeo (2025): Book 1 of the Gubarev Bratva duet, built around a forced marriage between rival-mafia worlds, and the best modern starting point for new readers.
2. Cruel Juliet (2025): Book 2 continues after the heroine runs, with pregnancy and reunion driving the second half of the duet.

Rozanov Bratva

1. Vicious Obsession (2026): Opens the Rozanov Bratva duet with an obsession-and-boss setup and is currently the newest Naomi West series start.
2. Vicious Innocence (2026): Continues the Rozanov story after the heroine disappears, adding a hidden-child complication and closing the duet.

Optional early standalone novels

These books are best treated as separate continuity from the later Bratva-family reading order. They can be read in any order unless you are doing a full publication sweep. Fantastic Fiction lists them as novels rather than as part of the major later series.

1. Knocked Up by the Biker (2017): An early standalone biker-romance title from Naomi West’s pre-Bratva catalog, best read independently.
2. Axel’s Little Angel (2017): Another early standalone-style romance that sits outside the later family-branded series.
3. Pistol’s Baby (2017): A separate early title that fits the author’s bad-boy romance phase rather than the later Bratva map.
4. The Devil’s Baby (2017): An early standalone-era entry that does not need to be read with the later duets.
5. Pay for Her (2017): A standalone title from the early catalog, best treated as its own read.
6. Diesel Daddy (2018): A separate early romance title that is optional for readers focused on the Bratva books.
7. Wild Child (2018): An early standalone-era release, not required for any of the named series above.
8. Baby With the Beast (2018): Another optional early title outside the main family-series order.
9. Baby Blues (2018): A separate early romance novel that does not connect to the later Bratva reading path.
10. Ride Dirty (2018): An early bad-boy romance entry that can be read on its own.
11. He Doesn’t Care (2018): A standalone-era title, separate from the later branded series.
12. He Doesn’t Know (2018): Best treated as another optional early Naomi West novel rather than part of the Bratva run.
13. Beast (2018): A separate early romance title with no series placement needed for new readers.
14. Bull (2018): Another early standalone-style book that sits outside the major family sequences.
15. Property of the Hitman (2018): A separate early title, optional for readers who only want the organized series.
16. Property of the Outlaw (2018): Another early standalone-style romance that does not need a larger order around it.
17. Property of the Biker (2018): An optional early bad-boy romance title, separate from the later Bratva families.
18. Nico (2019): A standalone-era Naomi West title that can be read independently.
19. Stripped (2019): Another separate early novel, optional unless you want a fuller backlist read-through.

Recommended Naomi West reading order

For most readers, this is the cleanest path:

1. Cruel Romeo (2025): Start here for a recent, complete Bratva duet with a direct continuation.
2. Cruel Juliet (2025): Read immediately after Book 1 to finish the Gubarev story.
3. Sinful Blaze (2024): Move next to another completed Bratva duet with a similar modern-series feel.
4. Sinful Bride (2024): Finish the Chekhov pair before jumping families.
5. Diamond Devil (2023): Then step back one year to another completed and well-known Bratva duet.
6. Diamond Angel (2023): Read second to complete the Zakharov story.
7. Scarred King (2024): A good next pick if you want to stay with recent Bratva pairs.
8. Scarred Queen (2024): Finish the Adamov duet before moving on again.

After that, either keep working through the Bratva families in publication order or jump back to the biker shelf and start with Stud or Stryker.

Should you read Naomi West in chronological order?

Usually, no.

For Naomi West, publication order inside each series is the safest order because it preserves reveals and keeps direct-sequel material in the right place. A timeline-first approach does not offer much benefit here, since the catalog is organized more by family sets and club runs than by one giant crossover chronology.

If you want the full bibliography, keep the biker series, mafia series, Bratva families, and early standalone novels separated, and read each shelf in its own order.
