Where to Start Your Amberlee Day Reading Journey

If you are new to Amberlee Day's work, the best place to start is her solo-authored MyHeartChannel series. Unlike her contributions to massive multi-author shared universes, this trilogy is entirely written by Day, making it the perfect showcase for her signature style: clean, sweet contemporary romance featuring independent women, environmental conservation themes, and the scenic beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Beginning with The Country Gentleman allows you to experience her cozy, small-town romance writing style at its purest before diving into her larger collaborative worlds.

For readers who prefer a mix of mystery and lighthearted humor, starting with her cozy mystery pen name, Della Pearl, is highly recommended. The first book in that series, Here’s Looking at Murder, Kid, introduces a charming community-focused atmosphere that is clean and entirely free of gore.

The MyHeartChannel Series Reading Order

This sweet contemporary romance series focuses on female protagonists who run their own online channels, balancing internet fame, personal growth, and love. These books should be read in publication order to appreciate the recurring themes of redemption and nature conservation:

  1. The Country Gentleman (2020) – Follows Kenzie Vega, an environmental conservationist running an outdoor channel, and Peter Olson, a logger hiding his true profession.
  2. Sweet Home Vermont (2020) – Centers on Betsy Lacey, a lifestyle influencer who pretends to be a country homemaker on a farm she doesn't own, leading to hilarious complications.
  3. Accidentally Engaged for the Holidays (2020) – A Christmas romance inspired by the classic movie Christmas in Connecticut, featuring fallen socialite Alyssa Jones-Blakely and a tiny-house philanthropist named Dean Stallings.

Navigating the Collaborative Shared Universes

A significant portion of Amberlee Day's romance bibliography consists of contributions to multi-author collaborative series. In these projects, different authors write standalone novels set within the same fictional universe or town. While these series can have dozens of books, they do not require you to read every single book by other authors to enjoy Day's contributions. You have two main choices when reading these: focus exclusively on Amberlee Day's books, or read the entire collaborative series in publication order.

Destination Billionaire Romance Series

This multi-author series features wealthy bachelors finding love in beautiful travel destinations. The books function as standalones. Amberlee Day's specific contributions, in publication order, include:

  • The Billionaire's Mermaid (2017) – Book 3 of the series.
  • The Scientist, the Sea, and the Billionaire (2019) – Book 7 of the series.
  • Her (Not So) Rich Billionaire Playboy (2020) – Book 8 of the series.
  • The Angler, the Baker, and the Billionaire (2023) – Book 9 of the series, set against the beautiful wilderness of the Alaskan coast.

Billionaire Bachelor Cove Series

Set in a shared coastal community, this series is written by Maria Hoagland, Lucy McConnell, Erica Penrod, and Amberlee Day. Day's individual titles include:

Harvest Ranch Romance Series

This popular, expansive small-town series is set around a cozy farming community. Amberlee Day contributed three books among the dozens written by authors like Lucy McConnell and Stephanie Fowers:

  • Snowed In at the Lake House (2021) – Book 14 in the series.
  • Snowed In at Christmas Town (2022) – Book 16 in the series.

Cozy Mysteries Under the Pseudonym Della Pearl

Writing under the pen name Della Pearl, Amberlee Day transitions from sweet romance to light cozy mysteries with the Matinee Classics Cozy Mystery series. Set in the coastal Pacific Northwest town of Sweet Penny Cove, these stories feature Stevie Jewel, a 40-something protagonist who runs a movie theater showing classic films. Although each mystery has a self-contained resolution, you should read them in order to follow the ongoing character development and community relationships:

  1. Here’s Looking at Murder, Kid (Book 1)
  2. The Invisible Corpse (Book 2)
  3. The Body and Mr. Chicken (Book 3)
  4. Hopelessly Dead to You (Book 4)

What to Know Before You Start

All of Amberlee Day's books, including her cozy mysteries as Della Pearl, are written as 'clean and sweet' stories. This means they are free of graphic violence, explicit language, and physical intimacy, making them perfect for fans of Hallmark movies and wholesome small-town fiction. Environmental conservation, animal rescue, and the beauty of the outdoors are constant elements in her settings, drawing heavily from her personal life in the Pacific Northwest.
