I’m a huge Jennifer Van Wyk fan. Her books are sweet, fun, emotional, sexy and romantic – always low on angst, and genuine ‘feel good’ stories. And OMG, she writes the best romantic heroes!
This page is not so much series info as it is a family tree of sorts which shows how her books fit together. I’m a bit OCD with my reading and always prefer reading books in order – even if the author has declared them standalones. Sure, they may be able to be read as standalones, but if they are interconnected with other books in any way, I want to know about it.
Each of the books are set in or around the same town, so there is crossover with that, but there are also closer ties between family and friends.
So, if you’re diving into the wonderful world of Jennifer’s books, this page gives you a suggested reading order, and some information on how all of the characters and stories fit together.

Walker & Ellie
Standalone with cameos from previous characters.
Walker’s nephew, Greyson, ties in with other characters in past and future books.
Then comes the All Of You series which are standalones from these books (except for a minor best friend link – Olivia from Gone For You is the best friend of Lily, daughter of James from A Better Place), but a trilogy of inter-connected standalones.
