What Is The Correct Reading Order For Kiss An Angel And Its Series Connections?

Got into Susan Elizabeth Phillips' Kiss an Angel, now wondering about Daisy's storyline and the related sequels. Romance readers, should I read all linked novels in release order or character chronology?

Sometimes I re-read just the circus scenes. They're so vivid and unlike any other romance setting. The series connections don't live in those scenes. They live in drawing rooms and football stadiums in other books. The heart of this book is under the big top.

So if the circus calls to you, answer that call directly. Don't take a detour through other locations first. Go straight to the main attraction.

It's a sign of great world-building that this question even exists. The characters feel so real that readers assume they have lives outside this single book. We want to follow them. That's a credit to the author.

So in seeking the 'correct order,' you're actually seeking more time in this world. That's a good impulse. Satisfy it by reading 'Kiss an Angel' first, then letting your curiosity guide you to the next one that calls.

I once tried to chart the connections on a whiteboard. It looked like a conspiracy theory map. There are ties through the Chicago Stars, the Bonner family, the town of Salvation, Texas... it's a web, not a line.

'Kiss an Angel' sits in that web, connected by a few threads. You can pull on any thread to explore. There's no 'start here' node. Any entry point is valid. My whiteboard was a fun mess, but it didn't help me enjoy the books more.

This is a classic 'it depends on your commitment' situation. If you're just dipping into SEP's world, 'Kiss an Angel' is a perfect entry point. If you're a completionist wanting to catch every tiny reference, you could start with 'It Had to Be You' (the first Chicago Stars book), then read through that series, knowing that 'Kiss an Angel' fits in loosely around the later books.

But that’s a lot of reading for a tangential connection. The Bonner brothers appear across several books, so seeing them pop up elsewhere is a neat Easter egg, but not essential. I’d prioritize reading 'Kiss an Angel' when you're in the mood for that specific, fiery dynamic.

Interesting question because it’s less a series and more a shared universe. There’s no overarching plot. Think of it like the Marvel Cinematic Universe for romance novels—different stories that sometimes share characters and locations.

'Kiss an Angel' is its own complete movie. You can watch it without seeing 'Iron Man'. Sure, you might miss a post-credits scene (a character cameo), but the main story is fully satisfying on its own. So, the most correct order is whatever gets you to read this gem sooner.

What is the correct reading order for Kissed by an Angel?

I have a different take. If you're not sure you'll like the series, read the first book. If you're hooked, immediately get the 'Complete Trilogy' omnibus if you can, because books two and three are direct continuations and you'll want to jump right in. The omnibus often includes all three in one volume. Then, if you finish that and still crave more, seek out 'Everlasting' and 'Eternal'. This approach breaks it into two purchases: the omnibus for the core story, and then the sequel duology. It's a practical way to manage your investment in a longer series.

My friend told me to read them, and just said 'start with the one with the angel statue on the cover.' Not helpful! There are multiple covers with angel statues. Always go by the title 'Kissed by an Angel' for the very first book. If it has a subtitle like 'Volume 1', inspect the contents.

My cousin asked me this last week! I told her: 1, 2, 3, then the ones that start with 'Ever'. She was satisfied. It's not rocket science, but the internet makes it seem complicated with all the reprint titles.

It's not just about plot order; it's about thematic resonance. The trilogy is about one love, one loss, one eternal bond. The spin-offs are about different couples and concepts. To understand the heart of what 'Kissed by an Angel' means, you need the original three. The rest is derivative, by definition.

It’s fascinating how a simple question about order reveals how we define a 'series.' Is it narrative continuity, or is it branding and theme? For 'Kissed by an Angel,' it’s definitely the latter after the first three books. Understanding that settles the debate. The first three are a narrative series. All five together are a thematic series.

In what order should I read Kissed by an Angel and its companion books?

My advice is driven by spoiler aversion. The trilogy’ biggest twist isn’t even treated as a twist in the companion; it’s backstory. So if you want any semblance of suspense, you have to start at the beginning. The first book sets up a mystery that carries through the next two. The companion has a different mystery, one that’s enhanced by knowing the prior events. So it’s a no-brainer.

Does the Kissed by an Angel series order affect the romance plot?

Look at the publication dates: 1995, 1996, 1998. This was before the internet made series order a constantly discussed thing. Readers often had to wait years between installments. The books were written to remind readers of what came before while pushing the story forward. That's a different style of writing than a modern binge-able series. They're more forgiving of gaps in memory, but they still rely on a linear progression. The author expects you to have a basic, lingering memory of the previous books' emotional climaxes. Reading them in quick succession in order replicates the intended experience—allowing the emotional residue of one book to bleed into the opening of the next.

Flip the last two and you'll spoil the entire emotional payoff. 'Soulmates' is the definitive conclusion, so save it. The middle book, 'The Power of Love', deepens the central conflict and really makes you question whether the main couple will ever find peace. Reading them out of sequence would honestly drain all the tension from the plot. I've seen people try to read the last book first thinking it's a standalone and they were utterly lost.
