Enni Amanda Books in Order (Updated April 6, 2026)

Enni Amanda writes romantic comedies set in New Zealand and beyond, and her books are easier to read by connection type than by one strict author-wide sequence. Some are proper series, some are standalones, and some sit in shared worlds where order is flexible rather than mandatory.

The cleanest way to read her is to separate four groups: Love New Zealand, Love Istanbul, the Cozy Creek / Falling connection, and her earlier or holiday standalones.

The practical reading order

If you want the most structured route through the catalogue, read her books like this:

1. Love New Zealand
2. Love Istanbul
3. Falling Slowly
4. Falling Madly
5. The earlier sweet standalones
6. The Holiday Grump whenever you want a holiday entry

That order is not the only valid way to read her, but it gives you the smoothest progression from her earlier New Zealand books into the later spicier rom-coms and then into the linked Cozy Creek return.

Shelf One: Love New Zealand

This is the clearest core series on Enni Amanda’s site and Goodreads. The books can stand alone, but they still make the most sense in publication order because they share tone, setting, and a broader relationship world.

1. Nest or Invest (2021): An enemies-to-lovers real-estate rom-com that opens the series with fiery banter, community energy, and the first real sense of Enni Amanda’s New Zealand voice.
2. Hidden Gem (2021): A wintery lighthouse romance with political scandal and a heroine learning to like herself again, making it a strong second stop after the first book’s small-town setup.
3. Night and Day (2022): The third Love New Zealand book shifts the emotional texture toward music, distance, and healing while staying inside the same broader romantic-comedy lane.

This is still the best place to start if you want to watch Enni Amanda’s voice develop across a true in-house series.

Shelf Two: Love Istanbul

This is a duet, and here order matters more clearly. Book two is explicitly presented as Love Istanbul #2 and is best enjoyed after My Lucky Star.

1. My Lucky Star (2023): A fake-dating celebrity romance between a struggling actress and a Turkish TV star, opening the Istanbul line with the most travel-forward, high-glamour setup in the catalogue.
2. My Turkish Fling (2024): A grumpy-sunshine, forced-proximity romance that returns to the Turkish-New Zealand connection, and it works best after My Lucky Star because it is billed as book two of the same duet.

For readers who want the most polished version of Enni Amanda’s current style, this duet is a very strong starting lane.

Shelf Three: Cozy Creek and the linked follow-up

This is where the order question gets more specific. Falling Slowly is Enni Amanda’s contribution to the multi-author Cozy Creek Collection, while Falling Madly is described on her site as a standalone featuring characters from Falling Slowly. That makes Falling Slowly → Falling Madly the clearest linked pair in her newer books.

1. Falling Slowly (2024): A boss’s-son, fake-dating, small-town rom-com set around an art retreat, and the best entry point to this linked corner of her catalogue.
2. Falling Madly (2025): A second-chance small-town romance featuring characters from Falling Slowly, so it lands better once the Cozy Creek setting already feels familiar.

You can read Falling Madly alone, but it is more satisfying after Falling Slowly because the connection is author-confirmed.

Shelf Four: earlier sweet standalones

These books belong together more by era and tone than by formal continuity. They are earlier, sweeter books with no on-page sex, and they can be read in any order.

1. A Tiny House on Wheels (2019): Enni Amanda’s 2019 debut, built around a fresh-start small-town move and best read as a snapshot of her earlier, sweeter style.
2. Coffee on Waihi Beach (2020): Another sweet New Zealand romance, this time leaning on beach-town atmosphere rather than later-series continuity.
3. Christmas in July (2020): A short seasonal novella that works as a quick side read rather than a major stop in the broader catalogue.

These are the books to choose if you want lower heat and a clearer sense of where her author voice began.

Shelf Five: holiday shared-world romance

The Holiday Grump (2025): A runaway-bride, grumpy-bookseller Christmas rom-com set in Hideaway Harbor, and best treated as Enni Amanda’s standalone contribution to a larger shared holiday series.

This book is part of Christmas at Hideaway Harbor, which Enni Amanda’s site describes as interconnected standalones that can be read in any order. That means you do not need the other authors’ books to read hers.

If you want the best starting point

Start with My Lucky Star. It is one of the strongest bridges between Enni Amanda’s travel-romance themes, humor, and modern heat level.

If you want the most orderly series-first route

Start with Nest or Invest and read the full Love New Zealand trilogy before moving anywhere else.

If you want only linked small-town books

Read Falling Slowly and then Falling Madly.

Best place to start

1. Best overall starting point: My Lucky Star. It gives you Enni Amanda’s later style in a very readable, high-concept package.
2. Best series starting point: Nest or Invest. It is the first book in the clearest internal series.
3. Best small-town starting point: Falling Slowly. It opens the linked Cozy Creek corner cleanly.
4. Best holiday starting point: The Holiday Grump. It is standalone-friendly even though it sits inside a multi-author Christmas series.

Do you need a chronological order?

Not really. Enni Amanda’s books are more usefully grouped by how connected they are than by one full timeline.

Publication order is the safest order inside Love New Zealand and Love Istanbul. The only especially important later link is reading Falling Slowly before Falling Madly. Outside that, the early sweet books and The Holiday Grump can be picked up whenever the mood fits.

Latest release status

The most recent Enni Amanda book is The Holiday Grump from 2025. I did not find a later confirmed 2026 release on her official site, Goodreads author list, or Fantastic Fiction, so that appears to be the current newest published title.

FAQs

Do Enni Amanda books need to be read in order?

Only some of them. Love New Zealand and Love Istanbul are best read in order, while the early sweet books are standalone and The Holiday Grump can be read on its own.

What is the best Enni Amanda book to start with?

For most readers, My Lucky Star is the best first pick. For readers who prefer a trilogy-first approach, start with Nest or Invest.

Is Falling Madly part of a series?

Not exactly. It is presented as a standalone, but Enni Amanda’s site says it features characters from Falling Slowly, so it is best read after that book.

Is The Holiday Grump part of a series?

Yes, but only as one entry in a shared multi-author holiday series. The books are described as interconnected standalones that can be read in any order.

Are A Tiny House on Wheels and Coffee on Waihi Beach part of Love New Zealand?

No. Enni Amanda’s site separates them under her earlier sweet books rather than listing them as part of Love New Zealand.
