Although the order of books as per Amazon is a bit “weird” the chronological order I have listed them in, comes directly from Lora Leigh’s website (and she acknowledges that they were written out of order, but this IS the order in which she lists the books – so I think I will trust her judgement that this is proper reading order of her books).
As quoted from her website:
The Breeds were originally written out of order chronologically, so that and a change in publishers is why there are chronological discrepancies in Jacob’s Faith and Aiden’s Charity.
- Tempting the Beast (Feline Breeds, Book 1)
- The Man Within (Feline Breeds, Book 2)
- Elizabeth’s Wolf (Wolf Breeds, Book 4)
- Kiss of Heat (Feline Breeds, Book 3)
- Soul Deep (Coyote Breeds, Book 1)
- The Breed Next Door (as found in the Hot Spell (Anthology)
- Megan’s Mark (The Breeds, Book 1)
- Harmony’s Way (The Breeds, Book 2)
- Tanner’s Scheme (The Breeds, Book 3)
- Wolfe’s Hope (Wolf Breeds, Book 1) as found in the Primal Heat Anthology
- Jacob’s Faith (Wolf Breeds, Book 2)
- Aiden’s Charity (Wolf Breeds, Book 3)
- In a Wolf’s Embrace (in the Beyond the Dark anthology)
- Dawn’s Awakening (The Breeds, Book 4)
- A Jaguar’s Kiss (in Shifter anthology)
- Mercury’s War (Breeds, Book 16)
- Christmas Heat (as found in the The Magical Christmas Cat anthology)
- Coyote’s Mate (Coyote Breeds, Book 2)
- Bengal’s Heart (Breeds)
- Christmas Kiss (as found in the Hot for the Holidays anthology) – Wolf Breeds
- Lion’s Heat (Breeds)
- Styx’s Storm (Breeds)
- Primal Kiss as found in Primal Anthology
- Navarro’s Promise (Breeds)
- An Inconvenient Mate as found in the “Tied With a Bow Anthology”

I am happily addicted to reading but I need to expend my book energy (especially when one puts me in an emotional frenzy - SO fun!). So, I release my feelings about the stories, by writing them down here. It's my book therapy.

I love your books I’ve read a good bit of them & when I start reading them I don’t want to put them down
Hi Linda! Here is the author’s official website if you’d like to send her a note

hi lora i really luuv your breed series, im a big fan. i cant wait till your next breed book comes out,
any of your books are great, much luv and respect. Angie
The Breeds Series are hot and totally awsome, I sit day and night reading and cannot put any of the books down. I am drawn into the heat of the lusts of the characters. I look forward to the other books and cannot wait to read them….. for now I will read the series I have for the forth time and wait..
Love your books. I just found your website and I like the order of the books. I didn’t know the correct order I just read them. Our county library is looking to get some of the books for our patrons.
So even tho Lizzie’s Wolf is wolf breed book 4 I can read it before wolf breeed books 1-3?
Hi Catrina! From what I gather, this is the order in which she intended them to be read. It seems publishers picked up on books and published them in random order, but as per how she wrote them herself, this is her preferred reading order. I hope this helps!
My 19 year old daughter got me hooked on these books almost a year ago. She reads them over and over until another comes out. Earlier this year she was running into bookstore to get the latest and was grazed by a car. Tells you how far she’ll go for her L.L. breed fix.
Hi Nan!
Wow she really does love those books! Hrmmmm I’m sure I’ve acted all sorts of crazy over a few myself…
I’m dying to read these. I have yet to hear of someone who didn’t totally fall for this series. The last one hit a bump with the missing pages, but I still hear it was plenty good.
Thanks for this reading order. Exactly what I was hoping to find. I wasn’t sure if I should read Elizabeth’s Wolf first or Kiss of Heat and this answered my question. Though, I have been anxious for Sharra and Kane’s book…I can wait one more.
Please add An Inconvenient Mate (A Novella from the anthology Tied With A Bow). I think it comes after Lawe’s Justice… but I’m just guessing.
Malachi Morgan (Coyote Breed) & Isabelle Martinez
Done
Thanks Laurel! According to the author’s list, it is before Lawes Justice…
So I randomly picked up Lawe’s Justice the other day and lovedd it!! So now I wanna go back to read the others and was wondering where to start? Just the Breeds? or all the way at the beginning? Since the series is broken down into defferent categories? Thanks..
