Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Dark Lover goes first!. It is the story of the king of the vampire race in the series (they are a different race from humans, they are born that way)!.

This is the order of the books in the series, up to date (series is ongoing):

Dark Lover
Lover Eternal
Lover Awakened
Lover Revealed
Lover Unbound
Lover Enshrined

You can pretty much read the first three out of order though, without a lot of issues!. However, from Lover Revealed on you will want to follow the series in order, as J!.R!. Ward is adding more elements to her world creation in the series, and also bringing in additional subplots to be developed further as the series progresses!.

Amazon usually numbers books even if the number doesn't appear on the cover!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
