Aven Ellis Books in Order (Updated 2026-02-15)

Aven Ellis writes feel-good romantic comedies that cluster into sports series (hockey, baseball, basketball, soccer, F1) and a royal/modern-aristocrat lane. Most books are couple-focused, so you can dip in anywhere, but each series reads best in its own sequence because side characters and friend-group jokes carry forward.

This guide is built like a menu: pick a lane, then follow the numbered order under that lane.

Standalones and separate continuity reads

These are not tied to the series above in a way that requires sequencing.

• Green Tea Latte to Go: A rom-com built around personal “rules,” small joys, and the moment a crush stops being hypothetical.
• Surviving the Rachel: A post-breakup reset turns into a comedy of errors that forces the heroine to rebuild her confidence.
• Chronicles of a Lincoln Park Fashionista: A big-city reinvention story where style, ambition, and romance collide in everyday chaos.

If you want a tidy “read everything” plan

Read one lane at a time to avoid tonal whiplash:

1. Modern Royals → Modern Aristocrats
2. Rinkside in the Rockies → Dallas Demons → Chicago on Ice
3. Washington DC Soaring Eagles
4. Miami Sports → Stonebridge United → Love in the Paddock
5. British Isles Billionaires
6. Standalones (any time, anywhere)

If you want, I can also turn this into a checklist version (same order, just tighter formatting for tracking).
