Recommended reading order for Elsie Silver Books:
Elsie Silver posted an updated reading order recently on her Instagram, (@authorelsiesilver). According to that, “I always tell people to start with Wild Love or Flawless and work through from there. Each series completely stands on its own with only very loose ties into the others. You will not be lost and you will not be confused.” So it’s totally up to you from where you would like to start.
