Kayley Loring Books in Order (Updated 2026-02-09)

Kayley Loring’s catalog is built around distinct groups of connected romances (recurring friends, running jokes, familiar faces), plus a set of true standalones. You can sample almost anywhere, but if you dislike learning who ends up together “by accident,” you’ll want to stay in the same group until you’re done.

Below, everything is organized by the author’s own reading-order checklist, with a one-line, original “what it is” note for every title.

If you only want one decision

• Start with Hollywood single parents and celebrity energy: begin with Sleeper.
• Start with a complete, compact set: begin with Rebound with Me (and read through The Plus Ones).
• Start with seasonal rom-coms: begin with A Very Bossy Christmas.
• Start with sports romance (co-written): begin with Decker: Changing the Play.

Name in Lights

Single parents in Hollywood; best read in order for cameos and ongoing bits.

1. Sleeper: A grounded, real-life love story collides with the chaos of Hollywood schedules and single-parent priorities.
2. Charmer: A smooth-talking hero meets the one situation he can’t finesse, feelings that demand sincerity.
3. Troublemaker: A trouble-magnet romance where attraction keeps showing up at the worst possible time.
4. Merrymaker: A holiday-tinged romance that turns “just getting through it” into a surprisingly soft landing.
5. Pumpkin’s Gotta Give (novelette): A short, fall-flavored hit of chemistry that leans into playful temptation.

Optional collection: Name in Lights Collection (Books 1-3).
Special edition note: Sleeper: The Palisades Edition is an alternate edition of book one (not a separate story slot).

The Brodie Brothers

A connected trio (with continuing references from Name in Lights); read in order.

1. Funny Business: Work and feelings tangle fast when the “professional” plan collapses under real chemistry.
2. Attachment Theory: A relationship built on logic runs into the inconvenient truth of emotional needs.
3. Good Vibrations: A romance that starts playful and physical, then deepens into something neither expected to want.

Optional collection: The Brodie Brothers Collection (Books 1-3).

---

Very Holiday

Seasonal romances that share tone and occasional overlap; read in order for the smoothest ride.

1. A Very Bossy Christmas: A boss-employee dynamic catches fire when holiday proximity removes the usual escape routes.
2. A Very Friendly Valentine’s Day: A “we’re just friends” story that stops being believable the moment jealousy appears.
3. A Very Vegas St. Patrick’s Day: A trip to Vegas turns one impulsive choice into a relationship problem with stakes.
4. A Very Grumpy Father’s Day: A grump meets the one person who won’t tiptoe around his walls.
5. A Very No Strings Halloween: A casual arrangement unravels when emotions start keeping score.
6. A Very Snowed In New Year: A forced-close-quarters romance where the weather isn’t the only thing turning intense.

Optional box sets: Books 1-3 and Books 4-6 are also packaged together.

Brooklyn Book Boyfriends

Four romances with a light through-line; the author specifically notes that The Plus Ones lands best last.

1. Rebound with Me: A rebound plan backfires when the “temporary” person feels like the right one.
2. Come Back to Bed: A relationship hits a breaking point, and the real story becomes whether trust can be rebuilt.
3. Tonight You’re Mine: A one-night intention turns complicated when real life refuses to keep things simple.
4. The Plus Ones: A wedding-season setup pulls multiple couples into the same orbit and pays off earlier threads.

Optional collection: The Brooklyn Book Boyfriends: a collection (Books 1-4).

Boston Tomcats

Co-written with Connor Crais; football romances with shared context. Read in order.

1. Decker: Changing the Play: A star player’s life plan gets rewritten when the relationship becomes the real priority.
2. Dash: Rushing the Play: A fast-moving romance where chemistry outruns caution, and then demands honesty.
3. Duke: Faking the Play: A pretend setup turns into the kind of attachment that doesn’t know how to pretend.

Optional collection: The Boston Tomcats Collection (Books 1-3).

---

Beacon Harbor

Co-written with Connor Crais; two-book set. Read in order.

1. The Billionaire Is Back: A return home brings old sparks and new boundaries that don’t stay intact.

Standalones and short reads

These are not dependent on series order and can be read anytime.

• Sexy Nerd: Revised Edition: A sweet-and-steamy opposites pull where brains, nerves, and desire all compete for attention.
• Resistance Training: Former closeness turns tense, and the romance becomes a slow negotiation back to trust.
• The Love Interest: A clean standalone built around the moment “this is convenient” turns into “this is personal.”
• Back for More: A second-serving romance where attraction returns louder than anyone’s common sense.
• Hello Darling: A warm, flirty story where the biggest risk is admitting what you actually want.
• There Is Also a Dog (novella): A compact romance with a scene-stealing pet and feelings that escalate quickly.

Questions readers usually have

Can I jump straight to the one that sounds best?
Yes, especially with the standalones and the holiday books. If you’re picking from a numbered set, start at book one.

Which “group” is most sensitive to order?
Name in Lights and Brooklyn Book Boyfriends reward reading in sequence because later books echo earlier couples.

Are the co-written books separate from the solo books?
Yes. You can read Boston Tomcats and Beacon Harbor without reading anything else first.

The simplest plan that avoids spoilers

Pick one starting point, Sleeper, Rebound with Me, A Very Bossy Christmas, or Decker: Changing the Play, and keep going forward within that same set. When you finish, choose another lane based on mood.
