While Ready To Play (featuring Brent & Joey) was written and released first, the timeline overlaps with Ready To Live (Luc & Charlie). Both books have references to the other's storyline, and in my opinion, can be read in either order.

However, Ready To Live does have a subplot that does not get resolved until book 3 so if you read Ready To Live first, there will be no mention of that subplot in Ready To Play.

All this to say, if you're not sure you like the tropes in the first book or the book blurb just doesn't call to you, no worries! Feel free to jump into the second book. Maybe the references to Brent & Joey's relationship might pique your interest enough to go back and read their story.

Either way, happy reading!
