Autumn Macarthur Books in Order

Where to Start with Autumn Macarthur

Autumn Macarthur is celebrated for writing emotional, clean, and faith-filled contemporary Christian romances. Since her books are typically written as standalone novels featuring different couples, you have a lot of flexibility. However, reading them in order allows you to enjoy recurring character cameos and watch the overarching community stories develop naturally.

For the best starting point, we recommend beginning with one of two options depending on your preferred setting:

• For a London setting: Start with The Wedding List, the first book in the Love in Store series. It introduces you to the employees and charm of Harts, a historic London department store, and showcases Macarthur's signature style of second-chance romance.
• For a small-town American setting: Start with His Father's Son, which kicks off the Sweetapple Falls series set in a cozy Oregon community. It is a deeply moving story of redemption, forgiveness, and healing.

Love in Store Series

The Love in Store series is set in and around Harts, a stately old department store in London, England. Although the books feature recurring staff members and overlapping timelines, each romance is self-contained. The series is written using British spelling, reflecting the setting and the author's home in the United Kingdom.

The recommended reading order by publication is:

1. The Wedding List (2014)
2. Believe in Me (2014)

What to Know Before You Start

Autumn Macarthur's stories are deeply grounded in her Christian faith. Themes of forgiveness, overcoming past trauma, and trust in God's plan are central to every book. Because of her personal history moving from Australia to the United Kingdom, her books comfortably bridge the gap between British and American culture. Readers should note that British spelling (e.g., 'colour' instead of 'color') is used throughout her UK-set novels, which adds to their authentic local charm.
