Navigating the Romance Realms of Tate James
Have you discovered Tate James’ romance novels yet? I was introduced to the Reverse Harem Genre by reading her Shadow Grove Series and became enthralled.
She’s really captured readers worldwide with her gripping narratives and passionate romances. So let’s journey together through her renowned book series; you’ll see just how talented she is at weaving unforgettable love stories.
Shadow Grove Series Reading Order
First in the Shadow Grove Series
Mature college/new adult romance with enemies-to-lovers/love-hate themes. This is a reverse harem series.
“Madison Kate Danvers was murdered tonight.”
Those words changed my life, and not for the better.
They were wrong, of course. I wasn’t dead. But I was set up.
After being charged with a string of offences–and made an example of by my political minded father–I’m eventually released back into Shadow Grove with one thing on my mind.
Hate.
Someone is going to pay for derailing my carefully laid out future. Someone is going to catch the full force of my hate. How very convenient that someone just moved into the bedroom down the hall from me.
Archer D’Ath and his boys messed with the wrong chick and they’re about to learn just how cold Madison Kate’s hate can run.
SECOND in a new Shadow Grove series. Several characters cross over to the Madison Kate series but it is not necessary to read MK’s story first.
HADES is a contemporary new adult reverse harem series, which means the leading lady has several love interests and never has to choose in order to find her HEA.
Five years ago, I masterminded the infamous massacre of the Tri-state Timberwolves.
The streets outside the Wolves HQ ran red with the blood of the old guard, and not one of those members loyal to my father were spared mercy. Not a single one.
I let the media twist and distort the story. My new recruits eagerly proved themselves in spreading false news, in covering our tracks. To the general public, the Tri-State Timberwolves were extinct.
But that couldn’t have been further from the truth. We changed, we grew, we evolved and came out stronger than ever. Now, I live, eat, sleep and breathe Timberwolves. I’ll do anything to keep my empire safe and thriving. To keep the people depending on me safe.
So, what do I do, when it’s my own weakness that places us all in danger? When I let sex cloud my judgment, and my people pay the price?
Simple. Kill the distractions.
I’m called Hades for a reason, after all
Vault is a Madison Kate Novella but is intended to be read after the Hades series as several events overlap and this story DOES contain multiple spoilers for the Hades series.
Third in Shadow Grove Series. The Guild series is a dark reverse harem romance and contains scenes that may be uncomfortable or disturbing to some readers.
Every four years, the criminal underworld engages in a game. The Game. The challenges range from the impossible to the deadly to the truly insane. Things that only a crazy person would tackle.
I’ve won the game 5 times. This time will be no different.
I’m at the top of my field now, the best of the world’s thieves. There’s nothing I can’t steal, and this time, the game is all about theft, subterfuge, and sleight of hand. Starting with a legendary painting of poppy flowers.
It’s a painting that disappeared into the blackmarket decades ago, but I know where to find it. The only person standing in my way is her.
Nothing will stop me winning the game, not even the sultry, quick witted brunette who lures me into her painting studio with the most irresistible bait.
I have no option to fail at The Game. It’s my legacy.
The Valenshek Legacy.
This MF story series is set within the Shadow Grove world and some characters cameos appear within.
They call me The Fox. I’m a thief. I’ve got superhuman strength and the ability to heal life-threatening injuries.
Who am I? But more importantly, what am I?
When a team of secret agents catches up to me, I finally have the allies and resources I need to chase down some answers. But the deeper we dig into my past, the more danger we find ourselves in. Traps and traitors are behind every corner. And suddenly it’s not just my life on the line, but my heart too.
I’m Kit Davenport and this is my story.
Reverse Harem Series. It also contains violence, sex, bad-language and content which some readers may find triggering.

I’m Kit Davenport and this is my story.
Full-length comedic paranormal, reverse harem romance. Our leading lady has six male love interests and doesn’t have to choose between them.
So, it all started with my meddling Grams and her falling-to-shit mansion. If not for her dodgy, ancient, messed-up plumbing … none of this would have happened.
But, there’s no use crying over spilled toilet water, right?
What started as a simple—if costly—plumbing job, has turned into a battle for the fate of all elemental dragons. People are all, “Ari, you need to save the world!” and “Ari, let me snake your drains!” and I’m over here thinking, what the hell? I’m not cut out for this heroine crap! I mean, I’m a barista, not a superhero!
Here it goes, my story of discovering the supernatural, falling in love with six elemental-dragon plumbers, and learning to control magic of my own. Read with a glass of wine and a smile, and make sure there’s a cold shower waiting nearby. Things are about to get hot.
This is a fantastic choice for readers seeking a thrilling fantasy romance packed with a fierce female lead, an array of love interests, enchanting magical elements, and a high-stakes competition full of danger.
Three trials. Three weeks. Three Royal Princes.
It should have been an easy task, for a skilled mercenary like Rybet Waise. Simply break into the royal palace, and rescue her friend from the executioner’s block. But when Rybet accidentally qualifies for the Trials, she finds herself with little choice but to see them through.
A thin veil of etiquette, elegance and glamour hides the true nature of the Trials. Behind closed doors, they are brutal and bloody, and to fail means to forfeit her life.
Thrust into the limelight and forced to compete with the Kingdom’s elite sweethearts, unlikely allies emerge and bonds are formed. But someone will stop at nothing to see her fail.
After all, she’s nothing but a dirty pond-dweller.
Rybet will do whatever it takes to survive until the Golden Ball, Princes be damned.
This dark contemporary romance features one girl and four sexy, dangerous boys but is NOT a reverse harem.
They rule my new town, my school, and with more money than God, there’s very little out of their reach. Four gorgeous, perfect, scary boys. There used to be five, but one of them died, leaving a fifth position that I now fill.
I didn’t ask for this. I didn’t want to be part of this billionaire-boys-club. But no one cares about what I want.
Sebastian Beckett is the worst of them. Their leader. He draws me in, and strips me of every defense I have. He calls me Butterfly, but it’s not a pet name, it’s a threat. Beck wants nothing more than to break my wings, pin me to a board and watch me writhe.
He wants to see me broken. Body, heart and soul.
And what these elite want, they get. Only they’ve never met Riley Jameson.
Let the battle begin.
This is a dark reverse harem romance that requires readers to read the trigger warnings.
My life changed in an instant, altered by fire, irreparably damaged.
Just like me.
I’m a broken, damaged soul on the run from a very real sort of darkness.
My father, a notorious mob boss, either wants me back or wants me dead.
I find solace in the arms of his enemies.
Five deliciously dark men that tempt me to do things I shouldn’t.
Arsen, Colt, Weston, Mace, and Hawke.
They’re just as dangerous as the men they’re hunting.
So, will they save me, or burn me to ashes?
Either way, in their arms, I catch fire.
I burn.
And I love every second of it.
Perfect for readers craving a high-octane fantasy romance, this book boasts a resilient female lead, intriguing love triangles, enchanting magic, and a thrilling competition filled with risks and rewards.
Those four words change Violet Spencer’s whole life, when against staggering odds, she’s selected in the “princess ballot.”
Arbon Academy is affectionately known as the school for Royals. Only the rich, powerful, or heir to a throne gain entry … except for the one scholarship student accepted every five years. It’s a worldwide lottery, and one that Violet entered without giving it any serious thought.
But the media got it wrong and Arbon Academy is much more than a simple college for future leaders. It’s a dark world of politics, intrigue, and dangerous guys who will stop at nothing to get their own way. Despite her best efforts at remaining off the radar, Violet finds herself a pawn between two of the most powerful monarchies in the world.
Prince Rafe of the Switzerlands and Prince Alex of the Australasias are bitter enemies both on the soccer field and in the political arena. Monarchies rule the world now, and every waking breath is a competition for the princes.
Control the ball.
Control the world.
Control Violet.
Whether it’s through love or hate, someone will ultimately win.
This is a mafia/rock star reverse harem romance series with dark elements and gripping cliffhangers throughout. Content is intended for a mature audience.
You know that saying, things can’t possibly get worse? They always can.
I thought I’d hit rock bottom when I turned sixteen. The day I broke my first love’s heart, ending things before I could ruin his career as a rock star.
But damn, was I wrong.
Things got progressively worse from that moment on, until now. Eight years later, when I find myself homeless, jobless, covered in blood, and running from a ghost of my past.
Angelo Ricci–the second boy I ever loved–knows I saw him shoot a man. He’s coming for me, has men out all over the city looking for me, and if they find me I’m as good as dead.
But I’m not giving up so easily. I’ll do whatever it takes to escape the Ricci family’s wrath, even if it means seeking sanctuary with the most unlikely, and unwilling of allies.
Bellerose is the hottest rock band in the world right now–in popularity and looks–and it’s just my luck that I stumble into their laps while running for my life. It’s not the best plan to hide out on their tour, but it’s the best I’ve got.
Except, the only person that Bellerose’s frontman hates more than Angelo Ricci… might be me. Too damn bad. Jace owes me. After all, I’m Billie Bellerose.
This book is great for adults who like dark but touching holiday stories about second chance love. It’s a reverse harem and for those who want to read about a reporter who’s trying to find missing kids while dealing with their own difficult past.
They say you can never go back…
‘Course, I never wanted to return. It took me years to age out. Once I made it, I took off and never turned around.
Trust me, there were only three reasons I managed to survive there as long as I did and they abandoned me as soon as they were able. I’d like to say I didn’t blame them, but that would be a lie.
I had zero desire to return. Yet here I was, on the road to Northland chasing a story cause my editor told me kids were disappearing… again.
It doesn’t matter what I want, I’m taking the fastest route to the darkest part of my past.
And then I’ll be home…
