Happily Ever After (Dana Mentink) Books in Order

This page gathers Dana Mentink’s lighter, more celebration-centered romance work, the stories where weddings, holiday plans, and second chances do a lot of the heavy lifting. Even when the stakes are gentler than in her suspense novels, she still likes a little chaos in the mix.

The women in these stories are usually trying to hold something together, an inn, an event, a family plan, or a future they badly want to work. Then an old crush, a past mistake, or a set of very unruly circumstances shows up and makes everything harder. That is where Mentink’s sense of humor tends to shine.

If you are coming to this page after reading her K-9 or desert suspense, think of it as a change of weather. The pace is softer, the danger is emotional rather than life-threatening, and the payoff comes from watching people build toward the happy ending the page title promises.
