If You Can Books in Order

If You Can is Christina C Jones leaning hard into romantic suspense. Set in Blackwood, the series mixes attraction, danger, secrets, and recurring characters in a way that makes the books feel more serialized than some of her lighter romance sets. You can sense from the start that everything is connected.

Catch Me If You Can opens with Marcus and Naomi and establishes the chase energy right away. Release Me If You Can shifts the romantic center while keeping the larger threat alive. Save Me If You Can widens the frame even further, pulling more people into the fallout and giving the series its most expansive finish.

This one really should be read in order.

The relationships matter, but so does the larger suspense thread, and you get more out of the reveals when you let them build the way Jones intended. The mood is tenser than in her warm community romances, with more active danger and a stronger sense that the past is never actually done.

If you like your romance with protective instincts, high pressure, and characters who have to keep moving even when their feelings are trying to slow them down, If You Can is a good fit. It still has heat and chemistry, but the adrenaline is part of the appeal.
