angst, and genuine \u2018feel good\u2019 stories.\u00a0 And OMG, she writes the best romantic heroes!<\/p>\n<p>This page is not so much series info as it is a family tree of sorts which shows how her books fit together.\u00a0 I\u2019m a bit OCD with my reading and always prefer reading books in order &#8211; even if the author has declared them standalones.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you\u2019re diving into the wonderful world of Jennifer\u2019s books, this page gives you a suggested reading order, and some information on how all of the characters and stories fit together.<\/p>\n<p>Publication (and therefore suggested reading) order:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Interconnected
