Hawkridge High Books in Order

Hawkridge High is Serena Akeroyd's take on younger, school-set romance, but it still carries a lot of the intensity that runs through her work. The titles, Dare You to Love Me and Dare You to Keep Me, suggest exactly the kind of emotional setup these books enjoy, pride, vulnerability, risky choices, and feelings that get much harder to laugh off once they turn serious.

This is not the same kind of story as the mafia or biker books. The conflicts are closer to home, built around reputation, pressure, first love, and the way a school social world can make every mistake feel public.

That smaller stage matters.

It lets the romance breathe in a different way. Instead of organized crime or supernatural warfare, the stakes come from youth, insecurity, and the fear that wanting someone might leave you exposed.

If you want Serena Akeroyd in a more grounded, coming-of-age mode, this series is a good place to look. It works best for readers who enjoy emotional school romances with a little bite and a lot of heart.
