Welcome to Christina Tetreault’s Interconnected Universe
Christina Tetreault has charmed contemporary romance readers with her heartwarming, high-society, and small-town stories. While she is best known for her flagship series, The Sherbrookes of Newport, her various series—spanning luxury Newport estates, quiet coastal towns, and high-stakes security operations—actually take place within the same shared universe. This means characters frequently cross over, and events in one series can ripple into another.
Because of these overlapping relationships, many readers prefer to follow a specific path. While most of her books can be enjoyed as standalone romances with satisfying happily-ever-afters, reading them in order ensures you don't miss the recurring family dynamics and cameos that make her New England setting feel so alive.
The Best Starting Point
For the ultimate reading experience, the best place to start is at the very beginning of the Sherbrooke family saga with The Teacher's Billionaire. This novel introduces the wealthy Sherbrooke family, sets up the central romance dynamics, and serves as the perfect gateway to the rest of her books. If you prefer small-town charm over high-society drama, you can also start with The Courage to Love, the first book in the Love on the North Shore series.

5. The Love Vixen Collaborative Series
Readers looking through Christina Tetreault's bibliography might spot a series called The Love Vixen. It is important to know that this is a collaborative multi-author project. Twelve different authors each wrote one standalone novel inspired by a fictional relationship blogger. Christina Tetreault contributed the sixth book in the lineup, One of a Kind Love (2021). You do not need to read the other eleven books by the other authors to understand her contribution, as it stands completely on its own.
Chronological vs. Publication Order Guidance
For almost all of Tetreault's series, chronological order matches publication order. The main exception is the prequel novella Loving The Billionaire, which goes back in time to chronicle the origins of the Sherbrooke family. For new readers, it is highly recommended to read this prequel after Book 5 (Redeeming The Billionaire) as originally published, because having context on the Sherbrooke children makes their parents' backstory much more rewarding to read.
