How do the romance series overlap?
These are the overlaps and spinoffs you may spot in your reading! Here’s a listing of the overlaps:
The Ivy Years + Brooklyn Bruisers: the heroes of The Fifteenth Minute and Rookie Move are brothers.
Brooklyn Bruisers + Brooklyn Hockey: the O.G. Bruisers books are the origin story, told over one season. Then the series really takes off with Brooklynaire and rolls on from there!
The Brooklyn boys + True North overlap in Bountiful, whose hero is a Bruisers team member.
The Hockey Guys are a M/M spin-off of the Brooklyn series!
True North and Giltmaker are set in the same world! True North follows the Shipley and Rossi family, while Good as Gold introduces the Giltmakers.
The Company is a spinoff of the Brooklyn series, as the hero of Moonlighter is a hockey player.
Gravity also takes place in Vermont, just as True North does.
Start With: Rookie Move or Brooklynaire
LOVE HOCKEY PLAYERS? THESE TWO SERIES ARE INTERCONNECTED AND set within THE SAME HOCKEY TEAM
You might start with Rookie Move, unless billionaires are your thing, then start with Brooklynaire instead.
The Brooklyn Bruisers series is:
Rookie Move | Hard Hitter | Pipe Dreams
THE BROOKLYN hockey SERIES IS:
Brooklynaire | Overnight Sensation | Superfan | Sure Shot | Bombshells | Must Love Hockey | Shenanigans | Love Lessons
Start With: The New Guy
Even MORE Hockey! This series starts with a familiar Brooklyn face, but this spin-off series is all about male hockey players and the men that love them!
The Hockey guys series is:
The New Guy | 2. I’m Your Guy | 3. The Last Guy on Earth
If you enjoy suspenseful books
We suggest: The Five Year Lie | Dying to Meet You | Moonlighter | Loverboy | Fireworks
Start with: Bittersweet
Welcome to Vermont, where the air is sweet and the men are burly. You can mix this series up and dive in anywhere, but book #4 is better if you know what happened to Zara in book #1. And book 5 is better if you know what happened to May in book #3. Got that?
The True North Series is: 1. Bittersweet | 2. Steadfast | 3. Keepsake | 4. Bountiful | 5. Speakeasy | 6. Fireworks | 7. Heartland | 8. Waylaid
Not ready to say goodbye to Vermont? Then you might want to read the Giltmaker series! The series starts with a long-lost Rossi...
Start With: The Year We Fell Down
The Ivy Years Series is:
1. The Year We Fell Down | 2. The Year We Hid Away | 3. The Understatement of the Year | 4. The Shameless Hour | 5. The Fifteenth Minute | Extra Credit
And then? A popular Ivy Years character from books 3,4,5 is the hero of Rookie Move in the Brooklyn Bruisers series!
Start with: Him or Good Boy
The first two books are the story of Wes and Jamie, who began as hockey camp roommates and ended up together forever.
Then Good Boy belongs to Jamie's sister, paired with the goofiest (sexiest) secondary character ever. And Stay (about another teammate in the same world) is like a rich dessert to finish the meal.
Note: Epic is a continuation of Wes and Jamie’s story, but the events of Epic happen after the conclusions of Good Boy and Stay.
