Where to Start Reading Cambric Creek

The best and most popular entry point into the Cambric Creek universe is Morning Glory Milking Farm. It perfectly establishes the cozy, low-stress, and high-heat tone of the town, introducing readers to the unique coexistence of humans and monsters through a slow-burn romance between a human woman and a minotaur.

Cambric Creek Main Series in Order

While the main novels are written as interconnected standalones that can be enjoyed individually, reading them in order of publication allows you to follow recurring characters and the growth of the town:

  1. Morning Glory Milking Farm (2021) — The series opener following Violet and Rourke the minotaur.
  2. Sweet Berries (2022) — A low-drama, sweet-and-spicy mothman romance featuring Grace and Merrick.
  3. Moon Blooded Breeding Clinic (2022) — A transactional-to-romantic werewolf story featuring Moriah and Lowell.
  4. Two for Tea: Welcome to Azathé (2023) — A cozy, emotional romance following Harper, a witch dealing with grief, and a shadowy tea room proprietor.
  5. He Loves Me Not (2025) — Follows Sumi as she moves to Cambric Creek to open a flower shop after inheriting a mysterious fortune.

Companion Novellas and Holiday Releases

  • A Blue Ribbon Romance (2023) — A companion novella retelling the events of Morning Glory Milking Farm entirely from Rourke’s perspective. Best read after the first book.
  • A Holly Jolly Mess (2023) — A holiday-themed, multi-POV novella featuring a mix of returning town favorites and new faces in a festive romp.

Wheel of the Year Subseries (Cambric Creek Coven)

This subseries centers on Ladybug, a neurodivergent witch, and her romantic encounters with various non-human partners. Each novella is themed around a specific pagan holiday/sabbath:

  1. The Mabon Feast (2021) — Ladybug’s story with Anzan, an araneaen (spider-like) creature.
  2. Hexennacht (2024) — A spring-themed coven romance.
  3. Litha (2024) — A summer solstice celebration story.
  4. Samhain (2025) — A spooky autumn-themed romance.

Cambric Creek After Darkverse

For readers looking for something edgier, the After Darkverse is a darker, more intense spin-off. Unlike the cozy vibes and guaranteed Happily Ever Afters (HEAs) of the main series, these books feature more complex dynamics and sometimes end in Happy For Now (HFN) resolutions:

  1. Run, Run Rabbit (2022) — A high-heat werewolf workplace romance with darker, primal themes.
  2. The Minoan Bride (2023) — A bite-sized prequel/side story set within the darker side of the universe.
  3. Shadows & Light (2024) — Originally published in the Wolves and Warriors anthology, this novella features a werewolf and her shadowy bodyguard, Lux.
  4. The Filled Vessel (2025) — Another dark, high-heat addition to the universe.
