Amy Knupp Books in Order

Where to Start with Amy Knupp

If you are new to Amy Knupp’s emotional, small-town contemporary romances, you have two excellent entry points. Her books are largely organized into two main geographic clusters: the Nashville universe (comprising the shared-world Hale Street series and its solo spin-off, North Brothers) and the Dragonfly Lake universe (comprising the Henry Brothers and Single Dads of Dragonfly Lake series). Both clusters are filled with tight-knit community dynamics and recurring characters, so starting at the beginning of either will give you the best reading experience.

Option 1: The Nashville Shared World (Hale Street & North Brothers)

This is the most popular starting point. Start with Knupp's contributions to the collaborative Hale Street series, set in a cozy Nashville neighborhood, before moving on to her solo family saga, the North Brothers.

Option 2: The Dragonfly Lake Universe

If you prefer single dads, small-town secrets, and close sibling bonds, start with the prequel novella Untold or the first novel Unraveled in the Henry Brothers series, which transitions seamlessly into the Single Dads of Dragonfly Lake series.

The Nashville Universe Reading Order

The Nashville universe is an interconnected web of friends, business owners, and family members. It began as a collaborative effort and expanded into a solo family saga.

Hale Street Series

The Hale Street series is a shared-world project written by Amy Knupp alongside authors Emily Leigh and Natasha Lake. While the overarching series includes 10 books, Amy Knupp wrote five of the full-length novels and one bonus short story. While each book can be read as a standalone, reading them in order helps you track the neighborhood’s recurring cast.

Amy Knupp’s Hale Street stories should be read in this order:

• Sweet Spot (2016) – Features Hunter Clayborne and Kennedy Lowell.
• Sweet Dreams (2016) – A short story sequel to Sweet Spot.
• Soft Spot (2016) – Features Jackson Lowell and Asia Knowles.
• One and Only (2017) – Features Micah Sullivan and Sloan McGuire.
• Last First Kiss (2017) – Features Ash McGuire and Lena Kessler.
• Heartstrings (2018) – Features Tucker Steele and Gin Verdinelli.

North Brothers Series

The North Brothers series is a direct, solo spin-off of Hale Street. You will meet some of the North brothers in the Hale Street books before they get their own Nashville-based stories. These books feature a mix of steamy romance, secret babies, and workplace tropes. They are best read in publication order:

1. True North (2019) – Cole North and Sierra Lowell
2. True Colors (2020) – Drake North and Mackenzie Shaw
3. True Harmony (2021) – Mason North and Eliza Bancroft
4. True Hero (2021) – Zane North and Hayden Henry
5. True Blue (2023) – Gabe North and Lexie Gallagher

Note: True Hero features Hayden Henry, who serves as the bridge characters connecting the Nashville series to the Dragonfly Lake series!

The Dragonfly Lake Universe Reading Order

Set in the fictional town of Dragonfly Lake, Tennessee, this universe focuses on healing, family reconciliation, and second chances.

Henry Brothers Series

This series introduces the Henry siblings and should be read in chronological order starting with the prequel:

• Untold (Prequel)
• Unraveled (2022)
• Unsung (2022)
• Undone (2023)
• Unexpected (2023)

Single Dads of Dragonfly Lake

Spinning directly out of the Henry Brothers series, this series follows single fathers in the same town. The series should be read in order:

1. Singled Out (2023)
2. Single All the Way (2023)
3. Single Chance (2025)
4. Single-Minded (2025)
5. Single Wish
6. Single Desire

Island Fire Series (Texas Firefighters)

Set on the fictional San Amaro Island, this 11-book contemporary romance series follows a group of close-knit firefighters. It is entirely separate from the Nashville and Dragonfly Lake universes, making it another great option for readers who want a long, binge-worthy series. Read them in order:

1. Playing with Fire (2010)
2. A Little Consequence (2010)
3. Fully Involved (2010)
4. Heat of the Night (2010)
5. Firestorm (2011)
6. Afterburn (2012)
7. Up in Flames (2012)
8. Flash Point (2013)
9. Fire Within (2013)
10. Impulse (2014)
11. Slow Burn (2014)

Standalone Novels & Multi-Author Contributions

In addition to her indie series, Amy Knupp wrote category romances for Harlequin early in her career. It is important to note that many online databases group these multi-author promotional lines together, which can confuse readers. Below is the breakdown of what Knupp actually wrote:

• Unexpected Complication (2006) – Amy Knupp’s debut novel. This is a standalone Harlequin Superromance published under the "9 Months Later" theme.
• Because of the List (2011) – Knupp's sole contribution to Harlequin’s "Make Me a Match" multi-author series. The other books in this line (such as Married by June) were written by other authors.
• The Secret She Kept (2009/2012) – Knupp's contribution to Harlequin’s "A Little Secret" multi-author line. Although part of that wider marketing series, Knupp's book serves as a companion to her early Salinger Family (Lone Oak) duology, which consists of The Boy Next Door (2007) and Doctor in Her House (2007).
