Anna B. Doe Books in Order (Updated March 25, 2026)

Anna B. Doe writes young adult and new adult contemporary romance, with most of her catalog built around connected friend groups rather than one strict, spoiler-heavy master plot. The useful thing to know first is this: her books usually work as standalones at the couple level, but the world is interconnected enough that publication order gives you better emotional context, especially in Blairwood University and Bluebonnet Creek.

The cleanest reading map looks like this: New York Knights starts the broader universe, Greyford Wolves follows on the YA side, Blairwood University becomes the biggest college-era branch, and Bluebonnet Creek picks up a later small-town lane. Kiss Me First is the hinge title because Anna B. Doe’s official reading page calls it a prequel to both Bluebonnet Creek and Blairwood University.

Quick answer

For most readers, there are three strong ways in:

1. Lost & Found if you want the earliest entry into the shared universe.
2. Kiss To Conquer if you want the main college romance line first.
3. Kiss Me First if you want the crossover prequel that bridges Blairwood University and Bluebonnet Creek.

Continuity rules before you start

Most Anna B. Doe books can be read on their own, but not all of them should be treated the same way. On her official reading-order page, she says the New York Knights duet should be read in order, Kiss Me Forever has to be read in order, and the Jade and Prescott arc in Kiss To Shatter and Kiss To Salvage is a two-book story. She also notes that reading in series order is encouraged even when spoilers are minimal.

That means the best beginner rule is simple: read each series in order, and be especially careful with the duet-style entries.

A practical Anna B. Doe reading order

If you want the smoothest long-form route through the connected books, read them this way:

1. New York Knights
2. Greyford Wolves
3. Blairwood University
4. Bluebonnet Creek
5. Underwater whenever you want, because it stands apart from the series lanes.

New York Knights books in order

This is the earliest series lane and the first good place to meet the wider Anna B. Doe universe.

1. Lost & Found (2017): The first half of the Anabel and William duet, opening the universe with a relationship that is meant to continue rather than fully resolve in one book.
2. Until (2018): A standalone New York Knights novel focused on Sienna and J.D., which Anna B. Doe specifically says can be read in whichever order you prefer relative to the duet.
3. Forever (2018): The second half of the Anabel and William duet, closing the arc that begins in Lost & Found and best read only after book one.

Why order matters here: this is the one Anna B. Doe series where the duet warning matters most. Lost & Found and Forever are not interchangeable.

Greyford Wolves books in order

This is the high-school branch. The books are interconnected standalones, so they are flexible, but the official recommendation is still to read them in order.

1. Lines (2018): A high-school romance that opens the Greyford Wolves line and establishes the earlier generation of characters in Anna B. Doe’s world.
2. Habits (2019): The second Greyford Wolves story continues the friend-group structure and works best once the setting is already familiar.
3. Rules (2019): Another interconnected couple story that deepens the Greyford cast before the later spin-offs expand the universe.
4. The Penalty Box (2020): A hockey-centered entry that keeps the series in its sports-romance lane while staying tied to the same school-world network.
5. The Stand-In Boyfriend (2020): The fifth Greyford Wolves novel closes the currently listed run and reads best after the earlier books because of the recurring characters.

Greyford Wolves is one of the easiest Anna B. Doe series to binge in one pass because it stays compact and uses a clean shared setting.

Blairwood University books in order

This is the biggest and most useful Anna B. Doe series for many readers. It is a college/new-adult branch of interconnected standalones, but several entries need a little more care than a normal standalone sequence.

1. Kiss To Conquer (2020): The Blairwood opener, establishing the college setting and the tone of the main university-era romance line.
2. Kiss To Forget (2020): A second Blairwood couple story that expands the friend group and is better with the first book’s context behind it.
3. Kiss To Defy (2021): Another connected standalone that builds the Blairwood circle while keeping the couple arc self-contained.
4. Kiss Before Midnight (2021): A prequel-style Blairwood novella focused on Grace, designed to set up Kiss To Remember rather than replace it.
5. Kiss To Remember (2021): Grace and Trent’s full story, which lands better after Kiss Before Midnight because that setup is intentional, not optional filler.
6. Kiss To Belong (2022): A later Blairwood romance that continues the same world and friend-group continuity.
7. Kiss Me Forever (2023): A multiple-POV Blairwood entry that Anna B. Doe explicitly marks as one that has to be read in order.
8. Kiss To Tempt (2023): Another Blairwood standalone that fits after Kiss Me Forever in the official sequence.
9. Kiss To Shatter (2022): The first half of Jade and Prescott’s two-book arc, so it should be treated as a part one, not a full stop.
10. Kiss To Salvage (2022): The second half of Jade and Prescott’s story, resolving the arc started in Kiss To Shatter.
11. Kiss Me Tenderly (2023): The latest currently listed Blairwood University novel, closing out the published main line so far with Penelope and Sebastian’s story.

Blairwood is the best choice if you want Anna B. Doe’s fullest ongoing social world. It has the most internal handoffs, the most shared-character momentum, and the clearest sense of a living campus universe.

Bluebonnet Creek books in order

This is the small-town sports-romance branch. It sits later in the broader universe and currently looks like the most active Anna B. Doe series.

1. Kiss Me First (2021): A prequel to both Bluebonnet Creek and Blairwood University, making it the bridge book if you want the crossover context before entering the small-town series.
2. It Should Have Been Us (2023): The first main Bluebonnet Creek novel, opening the small-town lane with Rebecca and Miguel’s story.
3. Need You To Choose Me (2025): A later Bluebonnet Creek romance that keeps the Williams-family and hometown continuity moving forward.
4. Make Me Trust Again (2025): The third published main novel, continuing the same community and relationship network.
5. Right Where You Left Me (2026): Bluebonnet Creek #4, officially listed for April 30, 2026, centered on Matthew returning as a police officer to the hometown he left behind.
6. Untitled Bluebonnet Creek #5 (2026): Officially listed for fall 2026, with Anna B. Doe identifying it as Aaron Fernandez’s story and describing it as a small-town single-dad romance.

Bluebonnet Creek is the best current entry point if you want Anna B. Doe’s newest active publishing lane rather than the older New York or school-based books.

Standalone

Underwater: A contemporary YA sports-romance fairy-tale retelling set in Hawaii, which Anna B. Doe’s official reading page classifies as a complete standalone rather than part of the connected main series flow.

Best starting points by reader type

1. Choose Lost & Found if you want the earliest universe starting point.
2. Choose Kiss To Conquer if you want the strongest main-series experience.
3. Choose Kiss Me First if you want one book that helps connect Blairwood University and Bluebonnet Creek before moving into either branch.
4. Choose It Should Have Been Us if you only want the current small-town lane and do not need the earlier school-centered setup.

Do Anna B. Doe books need to be read in order?

Usually, only partly.

At the couple level, many of them are standalones. At the universe level, reading in order gives better continuity because characters reappear and the emotional background accumulates. The exceptions are more important than usual here: the Anabel and William duet, Kiss Me Forever, and the Jade/Prescott two-book arc should not be shuffled.

Latest release status

As of March 25, 2026, Anna B. Doe’s official site lists Right Where You Left Me (Bluebonnet Creek #4) for April 30, 2026, followed by an untitled Bluebonnet Creek #5 for fall 2026. That makes Bluebonnet Creek the clearest current focus of her release schedule.
