Fair Lakes Books in Order

The Fair Lakes books are co-written by Kaylee Ryan and Lacey Black, and the series has a slightly different rhythm from Ryan's solo work. The setting is a small town, but the real hook is how each book follows people who already know each other, already share history, and already have ties that make the romance harder to ignore.

The series opens with It's Not Over, a second-chance story about a couple who have already reached the point of divorce before they figure out what they still mean to each other. Just Getting Started shifts the focus to Gabby and Chase, bringing more banter and a messier, more playful kind of tension. Can't Fight It adds a single dad, a woman looking for a fresh start, and more of the protective, family-first energy that runs through all three books.

Fair Lakes matters because it gives the romances room to breathe. Characters overlap, relationships ripple from one book to the next, and the town itself feels like the kind of place where everybody knows the history, even when they do not know the whole story.

The tone stays contemporary and emotional without getting too heavy. These are romance-first books, but they make room for co-parenting, fresh starts, friendship, and the awkwardness of trying to build something lasting after life has already gone sideways.

If you want a compact connected series with strong relationship drama and a friendly small-town backdrop, Fair Lakes is an easy one to settle into. Start with It's Not Over and read in order for the best payoff.
