Amy Daws Books in Order

Where to Start with Amy Daws

If you are new to Amy Daws, you have two primary entry points depending on what flavor of romance you prefer. For sports romance lovers, the sprawling Harris World is the ultimate destination, starting with the Harris Brothers series. If you prefer laugh-out-loud contemporary rom-coms with highly unusual meet-cutes, you should start with the Wait With Me series.

While the author writes her books so they can theoretically be read as standalones, the character cameos, sibling dynamics, and chronological timelines reward readers who follow a specific path. Below, we break down the ideal reading orders for each of her main series and explain how they connect.

The Harris World & London Lovers: Recommended Reading Order

The Harris World is a massive, interconnected universe of professional footballers (soccer players), their family members, teammates, and friends. To get the full emotional impact and understand the extensive family tree, it is highly recommended to start with the London Lovers series before diving into the main Harris Brothers books. This is the official chronological path recommended by Amy Daws herself.

Phase 1: The London Lovers Series

This series introduces the core London setting and provides the backstory for the Harris family. The final book in this series, Strength (originally published as That One Moment), stars Vi Harris, the sister of the famous football brothers, making it the perfect bridge into the main sports romance series.

• Becoming Us (2014) – Follows Harper and Drew.
• A Broken Us (2014) – Harper and Drew's story continues.
• London Bound (2015) – Follows Leslie and Theo.
• Not The One (2015) – Follows Reyna and Marni.
• Strength (2016) – Follows Vi Harris and Hayden Clarke. (Note: This is also considered the prequel to the Harris Brothers series).

Phase 2: The Harris Brothers Series

The core series revolves around the four professional football-playing Harris brothers in London. These books are best read in order due to continuing storylines and family events.

1. Challenge (2016) – Camden Harris and Indy Porter. (Enemies-to-lovers/sports romance).
2. Endurance (2017) – Tanner Harris and Belle Ryan.
3. Keeper (2017) – Booker Harris and Poppy Vance. (Friends-to-lovers).
4. End Goal (2018) – A bonus epilogue novella that wraps up Camden and Indy's story (read immediately after Keeper).
5. Surrender (2018) – Gareth Harris and Sloan Stafford. (Duet, Part 1).
6. Dominate (2018) – Gareth Harris and Sloan Stafford. (Duet, Part 2).

Phase 3: The Harris World Spin-offs & Companions

After finishing the main brothers' books, you can explore the stories of their teammates, lawyers, and extended family. Amy Daws recommends reading these in their publication order to preserve the timeline, culminating in the goalie Zander's book.

• Payback (2019) – Allie Harris (cousin to the brothers) and Roan DeWalt.
• Blindsided (2019) – Maclay "Mac" Logan (teammate) and Freya Cook. (Friends-to-lovers favorite).
• Replay (2021) – Tilly Logan (Mac's sister) and Santino Rossi (the club's lawyer).
• Sweeper (2021) – Zander Williams (teammate) and Daphney Clarke (sister to Hayden from Strength).

The Wait With Me Series: Tire Shops and Rom-Coms

Inspired by the author's real-life experience of writing in a local tire shop waiting room, the Wait With Me series shifts the setting to the United States. These books are lighter, comedy-forward contemporary romances featuring a tight-knit friend group. They can be read as standalones, but reading them in order lets you enjoy the evolving group dynamics.

1. Wait With Me (2018) – Kate and Miles. (Adapted into a Passionflix film).
2. Next In Line (2018) – Sam and Greer.
3. One Moment Please (2020) – Lynsey and Dr. Dick (Josh). (Surprise pregnancy trope).
4. Take a Number (2020) – Norah and Dean.
5. Last on the List (2022) – Cozy and Keaton.

The Mountain Men Matchmaker Series

Set in the rugged, small-town environment of Fletcher Mountain, this series focuses on gruff mountain men finding love, heavily assisted (or hindered) by the matchmaking antics of Everly. This series marked a major milestone for Amy Daws, transitioning to a partnership with HarperCollins.

1. Nine Month Contract (2024) – Orson and Freya. (Surrogacy trope).
2. Seven Year Itch (2025) – Nixon and Everly.

Standalones and Collaborative Works

If you want to read everything Amy Daws has written, there are a few standalone projects that sit outside her main romance universes:

• Chasing Hope (2014) – A deeply personal memoir detailing Daws' journey through pregnancy loss and the birth of her daughter, which inspired her to become a novelist.
• Pointe of Breaking (2015) – A standalone contemporary romance co-authored with Sarah J. Pepper.
• One More Step (2020) – An anthology featuring a contribution by Amy Daws.

Reader Advice & What to Know Before You Start

When diving into Amy Daws' books, keep these helpful tips in mind:

• The Duet Rule: While most books in the Harris Brothers series function well on their own, Surrender and Dominate are a strict duet following the same couple. Do not read Dominate without reading Surrender first, as it ends on a major cliffhanger.
• The Prequel Retitle: Keep an eye out for Strength. It was originally published under the title That One Moment, and some older reading lists still reference it that way.
• Tone & Style: Amy Daws is famous for "snort-laughing" comedy mixed with high emotional stakes ("ugly-crying"). The Wait With Me series leans heavily into the humor, while books like Surrender and Strength deal with heavier mental health and recovery themes.
