Julie Olivia writes contemporary romance in a few clearly labeled series, plus a small set of standalones and seasonal shorts. The series share friend groups and recurring side characters, so the only real trick is this: don’t start with book 3 of a series unless you’re fine hearing how earlier couples ended up.

Below, everything is grouped by story world, with a simple one-line note for every title.
Read-this-first choices
- Want the theme-park small-town vibe: start with All Downhill With You.
- Want a coastal town set with a full trilogy arc: start with Off the Hook.
- Want her trad-published cozy fall romance: start with If It Makes You Happy (it stands alone).
Honeywood Fun Park series
A connected set around Honeywood Fun Park. Each romance centers a different couple, but the friend-group through-line builds book to book.
- All Downhill With You (2022): A sunshine-at-work heroine clashes with the park’s resident storm cloud until the banter turns personal.
- The Fiction Between Us (2022): Two people hiding behind carefully curated versions of themselves get pushed into a story that won’t stay pretend.
- Our Ride to Forever (2023): A slow-burn connection deepens when “just for now” starts sounding like a lie.
- Their Freefall At Last (2023): The long wait for “someday” ends, and the real challenge becomes choosing each other out loud.
Best experience: read these in order for the cleanest cameos and relationship reveals.
Never Harbor series
A seaside small-town trilogy with recurring locals and overlapping community events.
- Off the Hook (2023): A fresh start on the coast gets complicated when the one person who feels like home also feels like trouble.
- Out with the Tide (2024): Old feelings resurface alongside new boundaries, and the shoreline isn’t the only thing shifting.
- On Midnight Shores (2025): A late-night connection forces two people to confront what they’ve been delaying for years.
Note: This is a true trilogy arc, starting at book 1 keeps the emotional payoffs intact.
Into You series
An earlier, more self-contained trilogy. It’s still best read in sequence.
- In Too Deep (2019): A sharp attraction pulls two people into a relationship that’s messier than either expected.
- In His Eyes (2020): Trust becomes the main obstacle when wanting someone isn’t the same as believing them.
- In the Wild (2020): A getaway changes the rules, and the couple has to decide what real commitment looks like back home.
Foxe Hill series
A shorter pair that reads best in order.
- Match Cut (2020): A romance sparked by timing and proximity becomes a risk neither lead planned to take.
- Present Perfect (2021): A second story in the same setting where the past won’t stay in the background, and neither will the chemistry.
Standalone novels
These are separate from the series above and can be read anytime.
- Thick As Thieves (2020): A high-stakes situation forces two people into uneasy teamwork that turns intimate faster than it turns safe.
- If It Makes You Happy (ebook 2024; print/audio 2025): A fall-soaked return to 1997 turns a job built on smiles into a slow-burn romance with the last person she expected to soften toward.
Announced upcoming novel
- Love Felt Like This (scheduled 2026): A small-town, single-dad romance where a guarded life gets disrupted by the one relationship that starts to feel unavoidable.
(Release timing can vary by edition and region; the date above is the widely listed primary release.)
Short stories and seasonal extras
These are optional and don’t require the series books first.
- Across the Night (2020, novella): One night of honesty forces two people to face what they’ve been carefully not saying.
- The Fake Santa Apology Tour (2021): A holiday mess-up turns into a redemption mission, and a romance that won’t stay on the nice list.
The simplest “do it once, do it right” plan
- Honeywood Fun Park (books 1-4)
- Never Harbor (books 1-3)
- If It Makes You Happy (anywhere as a standalone)
- Into You (books 1-3) and Foxe Hill (books 1-2) whenever you want her earlier work
- Add the short stories whenever you’re in the mood for something quick
Bottom line
If you want the smoothest introduction to Julie Olivia’s connected worlds, start with All Downhill With You (Honeywood book 1) or Off the Hook (Never Harbor book 1), then stay in order within that series. Save If It Makes You Happy for a standalone detour whenever you want a cozy, autumn-leaning read.
