Aidy Award Books in Order

Where to Begin Your Journey

If you are new to Aidy Award's high-heat, body-positive romance books, the sheer volume of shifters, fated mates, and curvy heroines can feel overwhelming. Fortunately, her books are written to be readable as standalones, but they are highly interconnected. To get the most out of the world-building, pack dynamics, and recurring characters, following a structured reading order is highly recommended.

The absolute best starting point for most readers is Chase Me, the first book in the massively popular Dragons Love Curves series, or Dirty Wolf, which kicks off the Alpha Wolves Want Curves series. These books establish the core rules of her shifter universe, introduce the author's signature blend of humor and steam, and set up the overarching communities of dragons and wolves that cross over in later series.

The Connected Paranormal Shifter Universe Order

Aidy Award's paranormal romance series are set in a single, shared universe where wolf shifters, dragon shifters, vampires, and other supernatural beings live alongside humans. While you can read each series in isolation, the author suggests a broad chronological order to see the world evolve:

1. Alpha Wolves Want Curves: Focuses on the core wolf pack and their fated mates.
2. Fate of the Wolf Guard: Expands on the pack's protectors and includes crucial plot elements that impact the wider wolf community.
3. Big Wolf on Campus: A college-set spin-off dealing with younger pack members.
4. Dragons Love Curves: Introduces the dragon shifters who eventually interact with the wider shifter society.

Contemporary Romance: Curvy Love & Curvy Seduction

For readers who prefer contemporary romance without paranormal elements, Aidy Award has two distinct series. These are characterized by standard romance tropes combined with body-positive themes.

Curvy Love

This series has a slight disagreement between publication order and chronological order. While Curvy Temptation and Curvy Persuasion were published first in 2014, the author recommends starting chronologically with Curvy Diversion, which acts as the narrative prequel.

Recommended Chronological Order:

1. Curvy Diversion (2016)
2. Curvy Temptation (2014)
3. Curvy Persuasion (2014)

Curvy Seduction

A contemporary series following passion, second chances, and emotional relationships:

• Rebellion (2016)
• Rebound (2018)
• Reignite (2018)
• Rejoice (2019)
• Revel (2020)

What to Know Before You Start

Aidy Award's books are heavy on tropes like fated mates, instant attraction (instalove), grumpy-meets-sunshine, and protectiveness. The shifter books feature extensive world-building regarding pack laws, territory wars, and fated bonds, which is why reading them in order helps establish the lore. If you decide to read them as standalones, you won't get lost in the romance, but you might miss the subtle background details of pack hierarchy and recurring characters who appear in adjacent epilogues.
