Diving into a new romance author's catalog can feel overwhelming — especially when there are interconnected series, recurring characters, and inside jokes that build across multiple books. If you're new to Heather Lauren's world of steamy contemporary romance, this guide will help you find the perfect starting point.
The Empire Records Series
This series follows the lives and loves of people connected to a legendary record label. Each book can be read as a standalone, but reading them in order gives you the full experience of watching relationships develop and characters grow.
- Book 1-3: The foundation — meet the core cast and fall in love with the world
- Absinthe and Heart (Book 4): A second-chance romance that will wreck you in the best way
- Black Velvet and Lace: When opposites don't just attract — they combust
The Man of the Month Club
Twelve months. Twelve irresistible heroes. Each book in this series introduces a new swoon-worthy man who proves that every month deserves its own love story. Start with any month that catches your eye — September's Beards and Books is a fan favorite for obvious reasons.
Standalone Romances
The Un- series (Un-Friend, Un-Like, Un-Swipe) explores modern dating and digital-age love stories. Perfect for readers who love social media meets-cute and contemporary settings.
