Talia’s Recommended Reading Order

Talia devised the list below by considering series, checking timelines, reading glitter like tea leaves, and measuring the romantical pull of a black hole. Or something. The books in bold contain interconnected references of some sort, and are therefore fun to read in the suggested order. But everything else is, honestly, quite flexible.

YA romantic comedy between two former best friends turned bitter enemies and academic rivals. She’s a grumpy conspiracy theorist, he’s a beloved football player with OCD. Now they have to survive a wilderness expedition – together.

This book features multiple British forests, several epic grudges, and one ill-advised mud fight.

Get a Life, Chloe Brown
– Chloe and Red

The Brown Sisters #1. A romantic comedy between a type-A web designer with fibromyalgia and the charming, tattooed handyman she hates. They are neighbours and enemies and she occasionally spies on him. Occasionally!

This book features one ridiculous bucket list, one ludicrous cat, and a metric tonne of chocolate.

Take a Hint, Dani Brown
– Dani and Zaf

The Brown Sisters #2. A romantic comedy between a bisexual, outrageously cynical PhD student and a grumpy security guard who loves romance novels. She’s a practicing witch, he has anxiety, and together they fake a relationship for, er, charitable reasons.

Act Your Age, Eve Brown
– Eve and Jacob

The Brown Sisters #3. A romantic comedy between a spoiled, chaotic angel who’s trying to prove herself and an uptight, sarcastic bed-and-breakfast owner who simply cannot stand her. Unfortunately, they have to work together because she breaks his arm by hitting him with her car. Oops.

This book features two autistic leads, several dangerous birds, and one hell of a playlist.

The Fake Boyfriend Fiasco
– Aria and Nik

Category-length novel, previously titled Sweet on the Greek. A romantic comedy between a tattooed, pierced, and cynical heroine, and the bisexual football star who falls in love with her at first sight. He hires her to be his fake girlfriend.

This book features a Spanish party villa, a certified himbo of a hero, and an infamous box of, ahem, toys.

The Princess Trap
– Cherry and Ruben

Standalone, full-length novel. A fake-relationship romance between a bisexual Scandinavian prince who’s into light domination and a fed-up British office worker who is also into that, as it turns out plays his fake fiancée.

This book features a mildly exploitative contract, supposed enemies holding hands in bed, and a plot to take down the (abusive) monarchy.

The Roommate Risk 
– Jasmine and Rahul

Standalone, full-length novel, previously titled Wanna Bet?. An emotional friends-to-lovers romance between a pansexual party girl and the uptight, responsible hero who’s spent his life pining for her. They are roommates now. Shenanigans ensue.

This book features several Very Romantic Flashbacks, an unshakeable opposites-attract friendship, and some very steamy love scenes.

Guarding Temptation
– Nina and James

Standalone, novella. Vaguely connected to The Roommate Risk, but, like, vaguely. A bodyguard romance between a radical political activist and the over-protective mechanic also known as her brother’s best friend. They eat a lot and shout at each other and then they kiss.

This book features old friends moving in together, mutual pining, and trampolines.

A Girl Like Her
– Ruth and Evan

Ravenswood #1. A small-town romance between a grouchy, autistic nerd and the gorgeous human labrador who just moved in next door. He is also a blacksmith and an excellent cook, if you’re into that.

Damaged Goods

– Laura and Samir

Ravenswood #1.5. (Free novella.) A small-town, seaside romance between a pregnant heroine fleeing her ex-husband and a wholesome cafe-owner who just wants to give her omelettes and support and no-strings-attached oral pleasure.

This book features childhood sweethearts reunited, kisses in the rain, and yet more trouncing of abusive exes.

Untouchable
– Hannah and Nate

Ravenswood #2. A small-town romance between a nursery nurse with a criminal record and a widowed single dad. He’s tattooed and depressed, she’s hyper-organised and also depressed. They have a great time, though.

This book features noble pining, accidental kissing in the kitchen, and realistically chaotic children.

That Kind of Guy
– Rae and Zach

Ravenswood #3. A small-town romance between a 40-year-old divorced novelist and a younger, demisexual bad boy. They share a real friendship and a fake relationship. Until it’s not fake at all.

This book features a drunken proposition that is gently rejected, a shared hotel room with only one bed, and a Kiss That Changes Everything.

Work for It
– Griff and Olu

Novel-length The Fake Boyfriend Fiasco spinoff. A brooding and emotional romance between a gorgeous, wealthy, super-depressed hero and the gruff, lonely fruit farmer he works under for the summer. They hate each other. Supposedly.

Merry Inkmas
– Bailey and Cash

Standalone, category-length novel. An emotional Christmas romance between a brooding tattoo artist dealing with invasive thoughts and his new, Disney-obsessed receptionist who’s just trying her best.

This book features artistic pining, snarky office banter, and Beauty and the Beast references.

Wrapped Up in You


– Abbie and Will

A standalone Christmas novella published by Kobo and only available on their platform. Hollywood heartthrob Will goes home for Christmas, and is determined to win over his childhood friend, cynical divorcée Abbie.

This book features a Scottish snowstorm, grumpy/sunshine, and cats named after breakfast foods.

Mating the Huntress
– Chastity and Luke

Monsters & Mates #1. A novella. Can actually be read whenever you like because it’s set in an entirely different universe that is basically the same as ours, except there are werewolves. Chastity is a huntress determined to slaughter all monsters, Luke is a monster determined to mate Chastity and love her forever and ever. This is, would you believe, a romantic comedy.

This book features cupcakes, fights to the death, and some very sharp teeth.
