Honey Phillips Books in Order (Updated April 2, 2026)

Honey Phillips writes sweet-and-steamy alien romance, cozy monster romance, and fantasy romance, and her catalog is big enough that one rigid master order is less useful than a series-first approach. The good news is that many of her biggest lines are built so each book follows a different couple, which means you usually need to read within a series in order, but you do not need to read all Honey Phillips books in one continuous publication chain.

For most readers, the real choice is simple. Start with the lane you want: abducted-human alien romance, Mars settlers and cyborgs, cozy small-town monsters, or newer fantasy-orc romance.

The best place to start

1. If you want Honey Phillips in the form most readers probably expect, start with Anna and the Alien. It opens the long-running Alien Abduction line and shows the author’s core mix of protective nonhuman heroes, human heroines in danger, and relatively standalone series entries.
2. If you want the warmest and easiest modern entry point, start with Cupcakes for My Orc Enemy. It opens Fairhaven Falls, which is one of the friendliest on-ramps because it leans cozy, funny, and small-town without losing the author’s usual sweetness and steam.
3. If you want family-focused alien romance, start with Mama and the Alien Warrior. That begins Treasured by the Alien, one of her most popular connected-but-standalone alien series.
4. If you want a newer fantasy lane, start with The Orc’s Mate. That begins The Five Kingdoms, which is the clearest current fantasy-world starting point.

The shortest useful answer

For most new readers, the safest Honey Phillips order is:

1. Anna and the Alien: The cleanest entry into her biggest alien-romance shelf.
2. Mama and the Alien Warrior: The strongest next stop if you want more family-centered alien romance.
3. Cupcakes for My Orc Enemy: The best pivot if you decide you want cozy monster romance instead.
4. The Orc’s Mate: The best move into her newer fantasy-orc world.

After that, read whichever series you like straight through in internal order.

The long-running alien shelves

Alien Abduction

This is one of the major Honey Phillips backlist anchors. The books are couple-focused and broadly standalone, but the cleanest experience is still series order.

1. Anna and the Alien: The opener and the clearest place to meet Honey Phillips’ abducted-human, protective-alien formula.
2. Beth and the Barbarian: Keeps the same rescue-and-romance structure while widening the alien world around book one.
3. Cam and the Conqueror: Pushes the series further into the warrior-protector lane.
4. Deb and the Demon: Adds a darker-sounding hero type while staying within the same accessible series pattern.
5. Ella and the Emperor: Moves the series into a more powerful-ruler dynamic without changing the basic standalone approach.
6. Faith and the Fighter: Continues the alphabet-and-hero-title structure that defines the series.
7. Greta and the Gargoyle: Brings in a more monster-coded hero while staying in the Alien Abduction world.
8. Hanna and the Hitman: Keeps the title pattern and the one-couple-per-book structure intact.
9. Izzie and the Icebeast: Shifts toward a colder, survival-flavored alien hero setup.
10. Joan and the Juggernaut: Continues the big-protector energy that runs through the series.
11. Kate and the Kraken: Leans into a more tentacled/monster-adjacent romance hook.
12. Lily and the Lion: A later entry that still fits the same dependable series formula.
13. Mary and the Minotaur: One of the bridge titles showing how comfortably Honey Phillips moves between alien and monster hero modes.
14. Nancy and the Naga: Continues the series with another distinct nonhuman hero pairing.
15. Olivia and the Orc: Pulls the series slightly closer to the orc/monster side of her catalog.
16. Pandora: A title that stands out from the usual naming pattern and is best read in sequence so it lands in context.
17. Queenie and the Queller: Keeps the later-series alphabet structure moving.
18. Rita and the Raider: A stronger action-coded entry in the same line.
19. Sara and the Spymaster: Brings a more covert hero type into the series.
20. Tammy and the Traitor: Uses betrayal language that suggests a more conflicted hero setup.
21. Unity and the Usurper: Continues the later-series emphasis on power, claims, and conflict.
22. Vera and the Victor: Another pairing-centered installment in the established format.
23. Willow and the Wraith: A later entry with a more spectral or haunted feel to the hero concept.
24. Xara and the Xenobeast: Keeps the series in its more overtly monstrous later mode.
25. Yasmin and the Yeti: A snow-survival flavored entry that arrived near the newest end of the line.
26. Zinnia and the Zombie: The current endpoint of the main series, built around a cellmate rescue and a waking, long-trapped hero.

Alien Invasion

This is a separate alien-romance shelf and easier to manage than Alien Abduction.

1. Alien Selection: A prequel novella and a useful optional starting point if you want the setup before the main series.
2. Alien Conquest: The main series opener and the clearest place to start if you want the core invasion-world reading path.
3. Alien Prisoner: Continues the series’ human-and-Yehrin tension through a captivity setup.
4. Alien Breeder: Keeps the reproductive-stakes premise that defines part of this world’s conflict.
5. Alien Alliance: Shifts the focus toward cooperation and loyalty within the same larger struggle.
6. Alien Hope: A more emotionally framed entry built around reunion and endurance.
7. Alien Castaway: Expands the series world with a more survival-oriented branch.
8. Alien Chief: Pushes the story further into leadership and settlement dynamics.
9. Alien Ruler: The latest clearly visible title in the main sequence, best saved for after the earlier books.

Treasured by the Alien

This is one of the best Honey Phillips series for readers who want found family, children, and protectiveness built into the romance.

1. Mama and the Alien Warrior: A weary-warrior-meets-abducted-mother opener and one of the author’s best-known books.
2. A Son for the Alien Warrior: Keeps the family-building focus front and center.
3. Daughter of the Alien Warrior: Continues the series’ protective-parent energy.
4. A Family for the Alien Warrior: Deepens the chosen-family theme that gives this line its identity.
5. The Nanny and the Alien Warrior: Adds caretaking and domestic closeness to the series formula.
6. A Home for the Alien Warrior: Pushes the emotional center toward belonging and stability.
7. A Gift for the Alien Warrior: Continues the nurturing, redemptive tone of the series.
8. A Treasure for the Alien Warrior: Adds command and choice to the same family-minded setup.
9. Three Babies and the Alien Warrior: Leans hard into the series’ parenting and protection appeal.
10. Sanctuary for the Alien Warrior: Another refuge-and-family entry in the same emotional lane.
11. A Miracle for the Alien Warrior: A hopeful later-series installment built around rescue and renewal.
12. Hope for the Alien Warrior: Continues the optimistic, second-chance side of the line.
13. Legacy for the Alien Warrior: Pushes the series toward inheritance, continuity, and future-building.
14. Baby for the Alien Warrior: The current endpoint, still centered on the series’ strongest theme: family created under pressure.

The cozy monster shelf

Fairhaven Falls

This is the best starting lane for readers who want Honey Phillips at her most cozy and playful.

1. Cupcakes for My Orc Enemy: A cozy monster-romance opener that immediately shows the town’s light, warm, opposites-attract energy.
2. Trouble for My Troll: Keeps the small-town charm while shifting to a troll mechanic setup.
3. Fireworks for My Dragon Boss: Brings dragon heat and workplace friction into the same cozy framework.
4. The Single Mom and the Orc: Adds a family angle to the town-romance structure.
5. Mistletoe for My Minotaur: A holiday entry that still belongs in the main series run.
6. Valentine for My Vampire: Continues the calendar-friendly town pattern with a kitchen-and-vampire pairing.
7. Protected by the Orc: Pushes the protective-hero element closer to the foreground.
8. Gift for My Ghost: A softer, lonelier pairing that still fits the town’s cozy-romance mood.
9. Wedding for My Werewolf: Moves the series toward sheriff-and-runaway romance.
10. Kiss for My Kraken: Adds a grumpy, watery protector to the town’s monster roster.
11. Healed by My Hyde: A more guarded hero story that still fits the series’ comfort-reading appeal.
12. Brownies for My Grumpy Bunny: The current endpoint of the main published run, keeping the cute-title/cozy-monster formula intact.
13. Guarded by My Gargoyle: Listed as a forthcoming Fairhaven Falls title and best treated as the next book in line once released.

Wrong Move, Right Monster

This is a newer monster-romance lane built around accidental-contact or mistaken-route setups.

1. Never Kiss a Krampus: Opens the series with a grumpy holiday-monster setup.
2. Never Text a Minotaur: The current follow-up, built around mistaken texting and a librarian/minotaur pairing.

Mars and science-fiction branches

Cyborgs on Mars

This is the Mars-set branch for readers who like settlers, frontier science fiction, and emotionally guarded cyborg heroes.

1. High Plains Cyborg: The opening Mars frontier romance and the best place to start the series.
2. The Good, the Bad, and the Cyborg: Keeps the Western-on-Mars flavor moving.
3. A Fistful of Cyborgs: Continues the series’ playful riffing on frontier adventure.
4. A Few Cyborgs More: A later entry best read after the first three so the Mars setting has time to settle in.
5. The Magnificent Cyborg: Keeps the cinematic naming style and ensemble feel.
6. The Outlaw Cyborg: Pushes the series toward fugitives and frontier danger.
7. Cyborg Rider: A side-positioned entry in the Mars line that still fits the same world.
8. The Cyborg Way: A newer installment about a lonely settler and a cynical cyborg, and one of the clearer current on-ramps into the later Mars books.
9. The Lone Cyborg: Another later Mars title, built around a gruff ranger and an isolated miner.

Exposed to the Elements

This is a shorter, more self-contained science-fiction shelf.

1. The Naked Alien: Opens the series with a stranded, exposed, survival-romance premise.
2. The Bare Essentials: Continues the stripped-down desert-survival tone.
3. A Nude Attitude: Keeps the same playful title pattern and intimate setup.
4. The Buff Beast: Shifts the hero type while staying in the same environment.
5. The Strip Down: Closes the line in the same survival-and-seduction register.

Alien-community and linked-world shelves

Seven Brides for Seven Alien Brothers

These books are more linked than some of Honey Phillips’ other couple-focused series, so this is one of the places where internal order matters more.

1. Artek: The best starting point for the alien-brothers community arc.
2. Benjar: Continues the family/community structure through the next brother.
3. Callum: Keeps building the same linked settlement world.
4. Drakkar: Another brother-centered installment best read in sequence.
5. Endark: Continues the communal arc rather than resetting it.
6. Fargus: Keeps the series’ surname/family structure moving.
7. Gilmat: A later brother entry that works best after the earlier family books.
8. Hozak: The current endpoint of the main brother sequence.

How the Aliens Were Won

This series shares a community connection with Seven Brides for Seven Alien Brothers, so it works best after or alongside that line.

1. Borgaz: The opener and best place to enter the shared community from this side.
2. Temel: Continues the linked-setting approach.
3. Naffon: Keeps the same one-couple-in-a-shared-community rhythm.
4. S’kal: A later entry built around a troubled alien and a runaway human.
5. Celenk: Continues the sequence.
6. Kalpar: Keeps the connected-community line moving.
7. H’zim: Another later entry that rewards reading the series in order.
8. R’mar: The current endpoint of the visible main run.

Fantasy and other newer lanes

The Five Kingdoms

This is the main fantasy/orc lane and one of the clearest places to go once you want swords-and-kingdoms instead of spaceships.

1. The Orc’s Mate: The fantasy-world opener and the safest starting point for this shelf.
2. The Orc’s Promised Bride: Continues the kingdom-building and mate-bond setup.
3. The Orc’s Bonded Bride: Keeps the fantasy-romance arc moving through another central pairing.
4. The Orc’s Princess Bride: Adds a more openly political marriage-and-alliance dynamic.
5. The Orc’s Captive Bride: The current next-in-line title, pushing the series toward higher-stakes fantasy conflict.

Cosmic Cinema

A smaller, lighter sub-series built around playful references and standalone pairings.

1. My Fair Alien: The opener, built around a language-of-love and transformation vibe.
2. Skruj: The follow-up, carrying the same playful, referential spirit.
3. The King and I: Continues the compact series with another recognizably themed romance.

Standalones and collaborations

Honey Phillips also has anthologies, collaborations, and standalones, but these are usually not where a new reader should begin. They are better treated as optional extras after you decide which main lane you like. That is especially true for the multi-author monster and science-fiction projects, where the books are often designed to stand alone and do not function like core Honey Phillips continuity.

Do you need a chronological order?

Not in the way you would for a thriller or epic fantasy universe.

For Honey Phillips, the question is almost always series order, not internal timeline order. The alien lines, cozy-monster lines, and fantasy lines are better understood as separate shelves with their own rules.

What is the newest Honey Phillips book?

Among the most recent confirmed releases on the official site are Never Text a Minotaur from March 2026 and Last Dragon on Mars, listed for April 26, 2026. The official upcoming page also lists Guarded by My Gargoyle for September 24, 2026, which makes it one of the clearest forthcoming titles currently on the schedule.

The one recommendation to keep

If you only want one clean reading rule, use this:

Start with one series opener, then stay in that series until you are done.

• For aliens, that opener is Anna and the Alien.
• For family-centered alien romance, it is Mama and the Alien Warrior.
• For cozy monsters, it is Cupcakes for My Orc Enemy.
• For fantasy orcs, it is The Orc’s Mate.
