Angela Casella Books in Order (Updated March 14, 2026)

Angela Casella’s books are easiest to read by cluster, not by one long mixed bibliography. She has solo romcom series, co-written romcom series with Denise Grover Swank, a Christmas standalone, and at least one multi-author shared-world contribution.

The key point is that these are separate continuities. You do not need to read everything in release order across her whole career.

How the catalog splits

There are three especially useful ways to approach Angela Casella:

• Start with a solo series if you want the cleanest entry into her voice alone.
• Start with a co-written series if you want the broader connected small-town romcom side of the catalog.
• Save standalones, prequels, bonus stories, box sets, and shared-world projects for later unless a specific premise is what brought you here.

For most readers, the safest first books are A Borrowed Boyfriend for solo Angela Casella or Any Luck at All for the co-written side.

Solo Angela Casella series

Fairy Godmother Agency

This is one of the clearest solo entry points. The setup is simple and memorable: women get help with love and revenge from a pink-haired, bad-attitude matchmaker.

1. A Borrowed Boyfriend (2022): The series opener and the best place to meet the Fairy Godmother Agency setup, with fake-dating energy and the revenge-meets-romcom tone that defines the series.
2. A Stolen Suit (2022): The second book keeps the same matchmaking-and-chaos framework while shifting to a new couple and another revenge-tinged romantic problem.
3. A Brooding Bodyguard (2023): The third book moves into bodyguard territory, adding a more guarded hero to the same bright, meddling series concept.
4. A Reluctant Roommate (2023): The fourth book leans into forced proximity, using the same agency premise while pushing the series toward a roommate setup.

Optional prequel

• Bringing Down the House (2022): A prequel focused on Nicole and Damien, best read after you know the world or just before book one if you specifically want backstory first.

Finding You

This is a four-book solo romcom series built around four male friends who do not want love and a psychic influence they would rather avoid.

1. You’re So Extra (2023): The opener establishes the friend-group dynamic and the series’ “love is a problem” premise, making it the right place to start.
2. You’re So Bad (2023): The second book continues the interconnected group arc while shifting focus to the next friend’s romance.
3. You’re So Basic (2023): The third book keeps the same friend network in motion and works best once the first two have already set the group chemistry.
4. You’re So Vain (2024): The fourth book closes the current run and lands best after the earlier books because the shared social circle is already in place.

Unlucky in Love

This is a solo interconnected romcom series with mystery and mayhem in Marshall and Asheville. It brings back Nicole and Damien from Fairy Godmother Agency, but the series is still presented as readable on its own.

1. The Love Fixers (2024): A grumpy-neighbor, fish-out-of-water setup that opens the series with Claire, inherited property trouble, and the launch of the Love Fixers concept.
2. The Love Bandits (2024): A fresh-start romance with a thief and a heroine trying to rebuild her life, expanding the same connected world.
3. The Love Losers (2024): A marriage-of-convenience entry about Anthony and Rosie that pushes the series further into the “romantically challenged people making messy deals” lane.
4. The Love Destroyers (2025): A revenge-driven romance with family crossover complications, best read after the earlier books because the relational web is already active.

Important note on a disputed listing

• The Love Contract (2026): Some databases list this as book five, but one major listing also says it was previously published as The Love Losers. Because Angela Casella’s own series page currently presents Unlucky in Love as complete with four books, I would treat The Love Contract as an uncertain or retitled listing unless and until the author site clarifies otherwise.

Babes of Brewing

This is a newer solo series about four women who discover they were all dating the same man, then bond instead of falling apart. These books are interconnected standalones.

1. Best Served Cold (2025): The opener turns shared heartbreak into friendship and revenge-fueled momentum, setting the emotional premise for the whole series.
2. Worst Nanny Ever (2025): The second book carries the friendship thread forward with a nanny setup and a more domestic romcom angle.
3. Best Kind of Trouble (2026): The third book continues the same friend-group continuity and is best read after the first two.
4. Worst Faking Idea (2026): The announced fourth book keeps the series moving and is best saved until the earlier Babes of Brewing novels are done.

Co-written series with Denise Grover Swank

Asheville Brewing

This is one of the most important co-written lanes in the catalog. It is connected, and publication order is the safest way to preserve the relationships and emotional payoff.

1. Any Luck at All (2020): The best entry point to Asheville Brewing and the right place to begin the main story arc.
2. Better Luck Next Time (2020): The second novel builds directly on the series world and works best in sequence.
3. Getting Lucky (2021): The third book continues the town-and-friend-group momentum without being a good place to jump in cold.
4. Bad Luck Club (2021): The fourth book deepens the larger connected arc and should not be read before the earlier Asheville Brewing books.
5. Luck of the Draw (2021): The fifth book is another continuation of the same romantic world and is best left in order.

Optional prequel / background

• All the Luck You Need (2021): Some sources list this as a prequel and some place it at the back of the publication sequence. It is best treated as optional background rather than the starting point.

Bad Luck Club

This is a separate co-written series and is complete. It also has an unusual wrinkle: the four main books exist in both spicy and sweet/closed-door versions.

1. Love at First Hate (2021): The opener introduces the Bad Luck Club idea, where members issue challenges to help each other turn their lives around and find love.
2. Jingle Bell Hell (2021): The second book keeps the club structure going, with a holiday-romcom frame and another challenge-driven romance.
3. Fraudulently Ever After (2021): The third book continues the same club concept with another romantic mess that benefits from knowing the earlier members.
4. Matchmaking Mischief (2022): The fourth main novel closes the club’s core sequence and works best after the first three.

Optional prequel

• Bringing Down the House (2022): A full-length prequel tied to this branch of the catalog, useful for backstory but not necessary before book one.

Highland Hills

This is a small-town romcom series set in Highland Hills, North Carolina. It is co-written and best read in order.

1. Matchmaking a Billionaire (2022): The series opener and the cleanest place to meet Highland Hills.
2. Matchmaking a Single Dad (2022): The second book keeps the small-town matchmaking tone going and benefits from the setting groundwork already laid.
3. Matchmaking a Grump (2022): The third book continues the connected town dynamic and is best read after the earlier books.
4. Matchmaking a Roommate (2023): The fourth main novel pushes the series into forced-proximity territory while keeping the same setting continuity.

Optional / somewhat inconsistently surfaced novella material

• Matchmaking a Player (2024): Several databases list this as Highland Hills book five, while Angela Casella’s own main Highland Hills page currently emphasizes the original four-book run. I would treat it as an optional follow-on novella rather than a required main-series stop.
• Matchmaking a Nerd: This title appears in promotional material for the Highland Hills box set but is not as clearly surfaced on the core series page, so I would also treat it as optional extra material rather than part of the main order.

Standalone and separate items

Standalone

• The Thief Who Saved Christmas (2024): A Christmas romcom set at the Gingerbread Inn, best read as a standalone rather than folded into one of the core series above.

Shared-world contribution

• The Holiday Hate-Off (2025): Angela Casella’s contribution to the Christmas at Hideaway Harbor shared-world series. The overall project is designed as interconnected standalones, so this one can be read on its own.

Upcoming separate line

• Falling for Mr. October – Spicy (2026): An announced Apple Ridge title, best treated as the start of a separate continuity.
• Falling for Mr. October – Sweet (2026): A parallel sweet edition of the same upcoming project rather than a different story world.

The best reading order for most readers

If you want a practical route that keeps continuities tidy, this is the strongest path:

1. A Borrowed Boyfriend
2. A Stolen Suit
3. A Brooding Bodyguard
4. A Reluctant Roommate
5. The Love Fixers
6. The Love Bandits
7. The Love Losers
8. The Love Destroyers
9. You’re So Extra
10. You’re So Bad
11. You’re So Basic
12. You’re So Vain

That gives you Angela Casella’s solo catalog first, in a way that moves from the clearest concept series to the more interconnected ones.

If you want the co-written side next, continue with:

13. Any Luck at All
14. Better Luck Next Time
15. Getting Lucky
16. Bad Luck Club
17. Luck of the Draw
18. Love at First Hate
19. Jingle Bell Hell
20. Fraudulently Ever After
21. Matchmaking Mischief
22. Matchmaking a Billionaire
23. Matchmaking a Single Dad
24. Matchmaking a Grump
25. Matchmaking a Roommate

After that, read the optional prequels, Christmas standalone, shared-world title, and newer Babes of Brewing books wherever they best fit your mood.

Where to start, depending on taste

Start with A Borrowed Boyfriend if you want solo Angela Casella with a strong high-concept setup.

Start with Any Luck at All if you want the co-written small-town romcom side first.

Start with The Love Fixers if you want a newer solo series with stronger interconnected continuity.

Start with Best Served Cold if you want the newest friend-group romcom lane and do not mind joining a still-growing series.

Latest release status

As of March 14, 2026, the most recently surfaced published Angela Casella title in the sources I checked is Best Kind of Trouble from the Babes of Brewing series.

The next clearly listed upcoming books are Worst Faking Idea in May 2026 and Falling for Mr. October in sweet and spicy editions later in 2026.

The one caution flag is The Love Contract. It is listed in some places as a 2026 Unlucky in Love book, but that conflicts with the author site’s four-book “series complete” presentation and with at least one listing that identifies it as previously published material. For now, I would not treat it as a confirmed new fifth main novel.

Final recommendation

If you want one clean starting path, read Fairy Godmother Agency first, then Unlucky in Love, then Finding You.

That route gives you Angela Casella’s solo work in a logical progression, keeps the continuities separate, and avoids the few murkier catalog edges where prequels, retitles, and optional extras start to blur.
