How to Start Reading Alexa Woods

For readers new to Alexa Woods's contemporary sapphic (F/F) romance novels, there are three excellent starting points depending on your preferred tropes:

  • The Standalone Route (Strictly Business): If you want a complete, high-stakes enemies-to-lovers office romance with stellar chemistry, start with Strictly Business (2021). It is widely regarded as one of her strongest standalone novels.
  • The Arranged Marriage Route (Her Collateral Bride): If you love fake relationships, forced proximity, and high emotional tension, start with the Arranged to Love series, beginning with Her Collateral Bride (2022).
  • The Modern Romance Route (Perfect Fake Match): If you prefer lighthearted humor, age-gap setups, and tech-focused matchmaking, start with the TwinSoul Dating App series, beginning with Perfect Fake Match (2022).

Publication Order vs. Chronological Order

Alexa Woods's novels are almost entirely written as standalones, even when they reside within a shared series. Each book features a new couple finding their happily-ever-after. Because of this character-focused structure, chronological order is not strictly necessary. You can easily pick up any book that catches your eye without feeling lost.

However, reading within each series in its publication order is highly recommended. Characters from previous books occasionally make brief cameos or are mentioned as background references. Keeping to the publication order ensures you catch these Easter eggs and appreciate the shared universe timelines.
