The Carpino series was Brynne Asher’s first published work, launching in 2014 with Overflow. The books follow members of the Carpino family and the people who fall into their orbit, with each installment centering on a different couple while the larger family story continues in the background. Tony Carpino, who has carried a torch for the heroine of the first book for years, sets the tone for the kind of patient, devoted heroes the series is known for.
Over five books spanning from 2014 to 2022, the series covers a range of romance setups: slow burns, second chances, and the complications that come with falling for someone in a tight-knit family. Athica Lane and Until Avery expand the world with crossover elements that connect to Asher’s other series. Force of Nature, published in 2022, brought the series back after a gap and gave longtime fans a return to the family they had been following for years.
The Carpino books are a good starting point for readers new to Brynne Asher. They are lighter on the suspense elements that define her later Killers and Agents series, leaning more into family dynamics and emotional tension. The interconnected cast means that reading in order gives you the full picture, though each book tells a complete love story.
