B.K. Borison writes cozy, contemporary romance (and now paranormal romance) in separate series worlds. That means you don’t need to read everything in one long line, but you do want to read each individual series in order to keep character arcs, cameos, and relationship outcomes intact.
This page keeps the lanes clearly separated and gives you a calm “start here” plan.
Start options
- For small-town comfort and community vibes: begin with Lovelight Farms.
- For a rom-com voice with a broadcast backdrop: begin with First-Time Caller.
- For a holiday paranormal romance with a magical premise: begin with Good Spirits.
If you pick one lane, finish it before switching.
The series map
- Lovelight (small-town romance): connected; read in order.
- Heartstrings (rom-coms with a media/airwaves thread): connected; read in order.
- Ghosted (paranormal romance): connected; read in order.
- Between lanes: treat as separate continuity (no required cross-reading).
Lovelight series in publication order
A small town, a familiar community, and romances that feel best when you meet the cast in sequence.
- Lovelight Farms (2021): A Christmas tree farm owner pretends to have a boyfriend, then asks her best friend to play the role a little too convincingly.
- In the Weeds (2022): A grumpy farmer and a bright, ambitious visitor collide, and a short stay turns into a harder-to-leave connection.
- Mixed Signals (2022): A bakery owner tries “practice dating” with a charming friend, and the no-pressure plan grows emotional teeth.
- Business Casual (2024): A buttoned-up corporate guy and an instinct-driven artist try to keep it casual, while the town keeps pulling them closer.
Best starting point: Book 1. Later books can casually reveal earlier couples’ endings.
Heartstrings series in publication order
These are modern rom-coms built around connection, timing, and the sort of chemistry that refuses to stay off-mic.
- First-Time Caller (2025): A single mom’s life tilts when a radio moment goes viral and a jaded host becomes unexpectedly invested in her ending.
- And Now, Back to You (2026): Rival meteorologists are forced to work together, and professional friction starts to look a lot like attraction.
Order note: Book 2 assumes you’ve met the world (and tone) through Book 1.
Ghosted series in publication order
This is Borison’s paranormal lane. Read in order for clean setup of the rules and the world.
- Good Spirits (2025): A woman expecting a quiet holiday is drawn into a supernatural visit that turns reflective, romantic, and surprisingly tender.
- Grim Tidings (2026): A runaway grim reaper tries to change an outcome, and the person assigned to stop them becomes the one complication neither planned for.
Does chronological order differ here?
Not meaningfully. Each lane has its own timeline, so chronological order is simply the same as publication order within that lane.
The recommended reading order for most readers
If you want a “best odds” path without juggling tones:
- Lovelight (Books 1-4)
- Heartstrings (Books 1-2)
- Ghosted (Books 1-2)
This moves from the warmest, most grounded setup into the newer directions, without interrupting any series continuity.
Latest release status
- Most recent Lovelight book: Business Casual (2024).
- Heartstrings is active: First-Time Caller (2025) is out; And Now, Back to You is scheduled next (2026).
- Ghosted is active: Good Spirits (2025) is out; Grim Tidings is scheduled next (2026).
- A third Heartstrings entry is commonly listed as untitled for a later year, but details are not stable enough to treat as confirmed.
Common questions
Can I read Lovelight without committing to the whole series?
Yes, each book focuses on one couple. But reading out of order will spoil earlier relationship outcomes through casual mentions.
Do Heartstrings or Ghosted connect to Lovelight?
No required crossover. Treat them as separate worlds unless an official listing says otherwise.
Which lane is best if I only want one book?
Pick by vibe: Lovelight Farms (small-town cozy), First-Time Caller (rom-com), or Good Spirits (paranormal holiday romance).
Bottom line
If you want one clean answer: start with Lovelight Farms and read the Lovelight books in order. When you’re ready for a different flavor, move to Heartstrings in order, then Ghosted in order.
