Where to Start Reading Elle Nicoll
Elle Nicoll has built a reputation for writing angsty, emotional, and very spicy contemporary romances. If you are new to her books, the best place to start is with her breakout series, The Men. You have two main entry points depending on how you prefer to read:
- The Publication Order Entry Point: Start directly with Meeting Mr. Anderson (2021). This is the book that launched her career and introduces her signature blend of high-flying flight attendant settings and Hollywood romance.
- The Chronological Entry Point: Start with the prequel novella, Forget-Me-Nots and Fireworks (2023). Although published later, this story sets up characters and dynamics that feed directly into the first main novel.
The Men Series
This is Elle Nicoll's most popular and expansive series, consisting of ten main books and one prequel novella. The books are interconnected standalones, meaning each novel follows a different couple and delivers a complete story with a satisfying happily-ever-after (HEA). However, characters from previous books frequently make cameos, so reading them in order offers the most rewarding experience.
Here is the recommended reading order for The Men series, including the prequel:
- Forget-Me-Nots and Fireworks (2023) – The prequel novella. A grumpy-boss workplace romance set in Hollywood, featuring special effects expert Trent Forde and a fiery makeup artist.
- Meeting Mr. Anderson (2021) – Book 1. The story of Hollywood star Jay Anderson and flight attendant Holly.
- Discovering Mr. X (2021) – Book 2. A high-stakes, mysterious contemporary romance.
- Drawn to Mr. King (2021) – Book 3. An age-gap office romance featuring a brooding silver fox.
- Captured by Mr. Wild (2022) – Book 4. A steamy survival romance set in the wilderness.
- Pleasing Mr. Parker (2022) – Book 5. A grumpy-boss corporate romance featuring a demanding CEO.
- Trapped with Mr. Walker (2022) – Book 6. An intense forced-proximity romance.
- Time with Mr. Silver (2023) – Book 7. A second-chance romance filled with emotional tension.
- Resisting Mr. Rich (2023) – Book 8. A classic enemies-to-lovers story.
- Handling Mr. Harper (2024) – Book 9. A protective hero romance.
- Playing with Mr. Grant (2024) – Book 10. The final installment in the original lineup.
The Beaufort Billionaires Series
Following the completion of The Men, Elle Nicoll launched a brand new family saga in 2025. The Beaufort Billionaires series follows the wealthy Beaufort family, who are bound by a tragic past and have sworn off love, only to find their vows tested. Like her earlier work, these are interconnected standalones featuring high angst, emotional stakes, and deep romance.
The series should be read in publication order:
- The Matchmaker (2025) – Book 1. An age-gap romance that kicks off the family drama.
- The Rule Breaker (2025) – Book 2. A protective bodyguard romance.
- The Love Hater (2025) – Book 3. A single-dad billionaire romance.
- The Risk Taker (2026) – Book 4. A forced-proximity romance.
The All In Billionaires Series
In 2026, Nicoll began a new billionaire series titled The All In Billionaires. This series focuses on high-stakes drama, corporate revenge, and intense chemistry.
- In Love and Revenge (2026) – Book 1. A gripping enemies-to-lovers romance featuring billionaire CEO Rafael Fairfax and Aurora Thorne, who is seeking justice for her father.
- In Love and Betrayal (Planned) – Book 2. The upcoming continuation of the series.
The Wild Blooms Project Caveat
Readers looking at Elle Nicoll's bibliography might notice a massive 19-book series called Wild Blooms listed in 2023. It is important to know that this is a collaborative, multi-author project. Nineteen different authors contributed one novella each to the series, sharing a floral naming convention.
Elle Nicoll only wrote Book 17, Forget-Me-Nots and Fireworks. You do not need to read the other 18 books in the Wild Blooms series to understand her story, as her novella functions independently as a direct prequel to The Men series.
What to Know Before You Start
Elle Nicoll's novels are known for their high heat levels (often categorized as "steamy" or "spicy" romance) and emotional depth. Her characters are frequently flawed, dealing with past traumas, trust issues, or grief. If you enjoy grumpy heroes, protective alpha leads, billionaire settings, and workplace power dynamics, her books will suit your reading tastes perfectly. Almost all of her titles are widely available on Amazon and included in the Kindle Unlimited subscription program.
