I get the itch to organize series reading lists as soon as a title like 'Desire' comes up, so here’s how I’d tackle the reading order for the 'Desire' novels if you want the smoothest, most satisfying experience.
Start with publication order. Authors usually reveal character arcs, world details, and surprises in the order they released books, so reading the novels as they came out preserves intended reveals and emotional beats. If the series has a clear numbered mainline (Book 1, Book 2, Book 3...), follow that for the spine of your reading. When I binge a long series, I keep a simple list in a note app: main books first, then side stories by publication date.
Novellas, short stories, and prequels can be trickier. I usually read novellas that focus on side characters after the main book that introduces them—this avoids accidental spoilers. Prequels that were written later? I often save those until after the core series so they enhance rather than undercut the mystery. For omnibuses or boxed sets, make sure the editor didn’t reshuffle content: omnibus order often mirrors publication order, but sometimes publishers sneak in extras or reorder epilogues. If you’re into audiobooks, check narrator consistency—switching narrators can change the vibe.
To find the exact list: the author’s official site, a Goodreads series page, or a dedicated fan-wiki are your best bets. If anything feels ambiguous, peek at reader forums for placement notes. I love discovering a little novella tucked between two main books that explains a side relationship, so take your time and enjoy the ride.

Alright, so the 'Chased by My Possessive Ex' series is actually part of a pretty sprawling universe, and I've seen a few people get tripped up on the order. It started with 'Chased by My Possessive Ex' on GoodNovel or similar apps, which is the main story. After that, you've got 'My Ex's Possessive CEO Daddy' and 'The CEO's Little Mafia Queen.' The confusion usually comes from a prequel novella, 'Before He Was My Possessive Ex,' which was released later but chronologically happens before the main book.
I'd suggest reading the main novel first. The prequel assumes you already know the characters and their eventual toxic dynamic, so it hits harder if you've seen where they end up. Jumping into 'Before He Was...' first might spoil some of the central mystery about why the ex is so unhinged. Honestly, the reading order isn't as strict as some epic fantasy series, but following release order keeps the emotional payoffs intact. The later spin-offs with the CEO and mafia elements are fun, but they're more like standalone stories set in the same 'universe' of obsessive, high-stakes romance. You can pick those up anytime after the core book.
If you're reading on an app, just check the publication dates on the chapters; they're usually listed, and that's your safest guide. I tried reading the prequel first on a friend's recommendation and spent the whole time wondering when the famous 'chase' was gonna start, which was kinda my own fault.

This series grabbed me from the first chapter, and the reading order I recommend is purposely simple so you can enjoy the pacing and reveals just like I did. Start with the main run of 'His Forbidden Obsession' in publication order — that means the regular chapters as they were released. The story was structured to unfold clues and character beats across those chapters, so reading them as published preserves the suspense and emotional arcs. If you prefer bingeing, the same rule applies: binge the core chapters first so plot twists land properly.
After you finish the main chapters, dive into the extras: bonus or special chapters, omakes, and the epilogue. Those extras are usually published as standalone short chapters or bundled into later volumes; they often expand on side characters, show lighthearted scenes, or give closure that deepens the experience. If you collect physical volumes, check the back matter for author notes and sketches — they’re tiny rewards that made me smile. Trust me, reading the main story before the specials keeps the mystery intact and lets those little extras hit like dessert.
