Emma Bloom writes contemporary romance built around billionaire, sports, forced-proximity, and off-limits setups. Her catalog is still relatively compact, which makes the main job here less about a giant universe and more about keeping the short series separated correctly.

The simplest rule is this: read each named series in publication order, and do not assume all of the billionaire/protector books belong to one seamless continuity. Some sources split the earliest titles between Billionaire Protectors and Steamy Billionaires Club, while other listings blur that line, so the safest recommendation is to follow the series labels attached to the editions you are using.

Continuity map

These are the main current Emma Bloom romance groups I could verify.
- Billionaire Protectors
- Steamy Billionaires Club
- Cedar Falls Romance
- #SaveChristmas Collection
- Cedar Falls Rookies
Optional
These are convenience editions or box sets, not separate reading-order entries.
- Love and Protect by the Billionaire Protectors
- Other collection-style repackagings when the same novels are bundled together
Separate / uncertain continuity
These are not essential to the main romance reading order page.
- 303 Red Dead Lane (2014, with Jordan Deen and Elizabeth Sharp)
- Much older non-current Emma Bloom listings tied to a different profile trail and not part of the present romance branding
Best Emma Bloom reading order for most readers
For a new reader, this is the cleanest path:
- Start with the early protector/billionaire books.
- Move to Cedar Falls Romance.
- Continue to Cedar Falls Rookies.
- Treat holiday collections and box sets as optional extras.
That order tracks her current romance catalog from the earlier billionaire/protector phase into the broader Cedar Falls setup and then into the rookie spinoff.
Series by series
Billionaire Protectors
This appears to be the earliest current romance entry point, but only one title is consistently and cleanly listed under this exact series name across the sources I checked.
Off-Limits Billionaire Bossy Protector (2024): A best friend’s brother and new-boss setup opens Bloom’s current romance catalog with hockey, forbidden attraction, and a strong protector dynamic.
How to treat it: read it first among the currently branded romance books. Some databases separate it from the later Steamy Billionaires Club titles, while others package the branding more loosely, so this is the most stable place to begin.
Steamy Billionaires Club
This is the next cluster, though one source lists the numbering in a way that suggests a missing or re-labeled Book 1. Because of that inconsistency, publication order is safer than trying to force a strict internal chronology beyond the verified titles below.
- Faking It with the Billionaire Alpha Protector (2024): A fake-boyfriend setup with a hockey star pushes the catalog further into enemies-to-lovers and public-performance romance territory.
- Off-Limits Billionaire Enemy Protector (2024): An opposites-attract, single-dad sports romance shifts the line toward a more openly combative dynamic while keeping the protector frame intact.
- Nanny for the Billionaire Grumpy Protector (2024): An age-gap nanny romance takes the same general billionaire/protector lane into domestic and household territory.
Recommended approach: read these in publication order after Off-Limits Billionaire Bossy Protector. The exact series labeling is not perfectly uniform across sources, but the sequence of release is clear enough to make that the least confusing method.
Cedar Falls Romance
This is the clearest Emma Bloom series for readers who want a tidy, easy-to-follow run. The sources agree on the four main titles and their order.
- PUCK Buddy (2025): A friends-to-lovers hockey romance opens Cedar Falls by turning a “lessons” arrangement into the emotional starting point for the town’s sports-centered setup.
- SPEED Crush (2025): An F1 romance broadens Cedar Falls beyond hockey, pairing opposites-attract tension with a mechanic-and-driver dynamic.
- TRACK Tease (2025): A fake-dating, surprise-pregnancy F1 romance pushes the series toward bigger personal consequences and a more chaotic relationship setup.
- PENALTY Kiss (2025): An enemies-to-lovers, forced-proximity hockey romance closes the initial Cedar Falls run with a stronger protection-and-danger angle.
Best way to read it: straight through in order. This is the most stable and least disputed part of Bloom’s catalog.
#SaveChristmas Collection
This is not a major continuity anchor, but it is a distinct seasonal grouping.
Christmas Challenge With Mr. Naughty (2025): A holiday romance entry that sits best as a seasonal side read rather than as the core way into Bloom’s catalog.
Cedar Falls Rookies
This looks like the next Cedar Falls branch and is the clearest place to continue after the 2025 Cedar Falls books.
- The Temporary Boyfriend (2026): A fake-dating hockey romance starts the rookie phase by returning to a public-relationship setup with a new generation of Cedar Falls characters.
- Fake Date A Bad Boy (2026): A bad-boy fake-date romance continues the rookie line with another trope-forward, likely couple-centered entry.
- Fall for the Grumpy Cupid (2026): A grumpy-romance setup keeps the rookie branch moving and is currently one of the latest listed upcoming/current titles in Bloom’s catalog.

Do you need a chronological order?
No. There is no strong in-world chronological scheme here that improves on publication order.
Emma Bloom’s books are trope-led contemporary romances, and the most useful organizing principle is simply to stay inside each named series and follow release sequence. That preserves whatever light continuity, returning setting material, and branding progression the books are using.
Best place to start
The safest starting point is Off-Limits Billionaire Bossy Protector if you want to begin at the front of Bloom’s current romance catalog.
The easiest series entry is PUCK Buddy if you want the cleanest and least confusing onboarding experience, because Cedar Falls Romance has the clearest confirmed order.
