Publication Order of Lucas Brothers Books

The “Lucas Brothers” is a series of mystery novels by Jordan Marie, a USA Today bestselling author of romantic suspense and suspense novels. She often refers to herself as a small town country girl who pens sweet stories about beautiful women and the alpha men who love them. Marie always knew that writing was something she wanted to do as she always thought she could write better stories than everything that she read. She believes all the stories had terrible endings and wrote just to have stories with happy endings. Marie writes emotional stories that take her readers on a journey that may have laughter, tears, or steamy hot fun. She made her debut with the publishing of “The Breaking Dragon,” a romantic suspense novel in 2015. She has become a prolific author since then writing more than fifty titles in several series including the “Lucas Brothers” series. She has also been a contributing author to several collections including the 2015 published “Rev the Engine.” Even though she is now a renowned author, she still has a surreal feeling when she sees her novels in print and reads the reviews from the many readers of her works.

Marie is a resident of London, Kentucky, and went to the University of Kentucky. Upon graduation, she got a job as a paralegal where she worked for years. As a second-grader, she showed that she was made for a life of writing when she wrote a small bedtime story. She was also influenced by books and remembers the first romance that she read was a “Beverly Cleary” before she went on to read Harlequin romances. Marie always found a welcome escape in books especially at the time when she had to take care of a dying father in law that was suffering from cancer. During those times when she was so low, she used to read include the likes of Sam Crescent Nicole Snow or Jenika Snow. She would continue reading her novels long after her father-in-law was deceased and these were what would influence her future career as an author. Among the best novels she remembers reading at the time are the books of Krystal Fhal and Alana Sapphire and Meghan March’s “Dirty Billionaire Trilogy.”

The “Lucas Brothers” Series starts with the light-hearted and funny story of Claudia Cooper and then moves to the story of Kayla and White that is more serious.
