Sadie Kincaid – Manhattan Ruthless Series Reading Order

January 12, 2025 By Maryse Leave a Comment

BOOK #2 JUST WENT LIVE & IT’S #3 ON ALL OF AMAZON KINDLE RIGHT NOW!! A series of standalone billionaire romances (but probably way more fun to read ’em in order). 😃

About book #1

A Standalone Billionaire, Marriage of Convenience Romance.

You want to know the secret to everlasting happiness? Never fall in love. That was the wisdom my father imparted to us James boys after our mom died, and it’s a piece of advice that’s served me well.

Until dear old Dad asks me for a favor over Sunday brunch. No big deal, right? I love making my old man happy. Except this “favor” is a lot more complicated than picking up his dry cleaning. Dad wants me to marry and provide a few heirs for the James empire, and he’s even done me the courtesy of handpicking my bride-to-be. Lucky me. read more

Janu needs our book help! I AM A SUCKER FOR OFFICE ROMANCE!!! Love it so much, all that pining and the drama!! SO FUN!

She asks:

What’s that book called?

Forced proximity, workplace romance. There’s lots of spoilers!!

So, I’m looking for an office romance, where the FMC and MMC are competing for the same role.

There’s some forced proximity (both get stuck in their office due to a storm), and they finally talk (MMC flirts with every woman but the FMC)

The FMC asks the MMC to be her date to her ex’s wedding (ex cheats on her with their mutual friend). read more

Reader Question – The book where she’s newly hired and he hates her from the first day…

May is looking for this one! It almost makes me think she’s looking for The Hating Game: A Novel by Sally Thorne.

She asks:

Hi Maryse!

There’s this book i can’t seem to remember. It’s an enemies to lovers office romance.

I think it seemed to the h that the H hated her from the first day she came into office (i think one of them was recently hired) He even went as far as rebuffing all her attempts toward friendship.

The H and h stay in offices whose doorways are directly opposite 🙂 Enough office drama 😉 read more
