Manwhore Books in Order

The Manwhore series starts with a setup that gets messy fast: Rachel Livingston, a journalist in Chicago, is assigned to profile and expose Malcolm Saint, the city’s most elusive billionaire. He is rich, watched, and very good at keeping people at a distance. She is ambitious, smart, and convinced she can stay focused on the story. Of course, that plan lasts about as long as it takes them to start talking. These books live in a world of glossy offices, headlines, parties, and very public reputations, but the emotional hook is always private trust.

This series runs on tension.

The core arc is Manwhore, Manwhore +1, and Ms. Manwhore. Those three books stay with Malcolm and Rachel as the original assignment turns into something much more dangerous for both of them. The question is never just whether they want each other. It is whether a relationship built under false pretenses can survive once everything is out in the open. Malcolm has power and polish, but he is also deeply guarded. Rachel has every reason to protect her independence, even when she wants him. That push and pull gives the first half of the series its shape.

Then Evans opens the door to other connected stories. Ladies Man follows Tahoe Roth, whose charm and one-night-stand reputation hide a more bruised emotional core than people expect. Womanizer shifts to Callan Carmichael, a CEO who gets entangled with the intern he should leave alone. Playboy brings in gambler Cullen Carmichael and turns the focus toward flirtation, wagers, and the moment a fun arrangement stops feeling casual. These later books are more standalone in structure, but they still feel like part of the same social world.

Chicago matters here. The city gives the series its money, motion, and media heat. Characters are always moving between offices, penthouses, bars, hotels, and events where image can matter almost as much as truth. Evans uses that backdrop to ask what happens when very public people want something as ordinary, and as terrifying, as being fully known by one other person.

The tone is glossy, but the feelings are usually pretty raw.

If you like billionaire romance with lots of chemistry but also want continuing connections between books, this is a good series to settle into. Start with Manwhore if you want the full Malcolm and Rachel ride. If you mostly want connected standalones with alpha heroes and a lot of banter, the later books work well too. Either way, expect slick modern settings, big feelings, and heroes who fall harder than they expect.
