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.
Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute
– Brad and Celine
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

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!

Take a Hint, Dani Brown

Act Your Age, Eve Brown

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.

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.

The Roommate Risk

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

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

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.

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.
