Lauren Blakely’s The Gift series collects eight titles published between 2017 and 2021. The reading order begins with The Engagement Gift, followed by Drone and The Virgin Gift, all released in 2019. Most of the remaining books came out in 2020, with Good To Be Bad closing the series in 2021. The V Card, published in 2017, sits at position six in the recommended reading order rather than first, so following publication date alone would put you out of sequence.
Titles like The Decadent Gift, The After Dark Collection, and Good With His Hands suggest a series built around romance and attraction, which fits Blakely’s broader catalog. Readers looking to work through these books should follow the numbered order listed above rather than sorting strictly by year, since Blakely placed The V Card later in the sequence despite its earlier release date.
