Jobs from Hell books in chronological order
Series background & context
Jobs from Hell is a small-town rom-com series about work gone wrong, unexpected chemistry, and the awkward fact that a bad job can sometimes lead directly to the right person. The books are connected to Auburn Hill, also known as Hell, where local life has a way of pulling people back together.
The first book, Love Bank, starts with a woman whose big career move comes with more complications than she expected. From there, the series turns ordinary work situations into romance setups that are anything but ordinary.
In Uber Bossy, a ride-share driver has rules for staying safe and keeping her work life simple. A demanding passenger makes that plan difficult. Man Glitter offers a shorter visit to the shared world, while Unfriend Me and Side Hustle follow characters whose jobs, online lives, and personal histories refuse to stay neatly separate.
The title is a joke, but work matters to these characters. Their jobs give them independence and purpose, even when the work is exhausting, embarrassing, or clearly not going according to plan. The romances often force them to rethink what they want from a partner and from their lives.
Auburn Hill supplies the larger community. Friends, relatives, and characters from the related Hell series appear around the edges, making the town feel busy, nosy, and supportive in equal measure. You do not need to know every crossover to enjoy the books.
The mood is playful, steamy, and low on gloom. There is conflict, but it comes from believable pressures such as old wounds, mixed signals, family expectations, and the fear of taking a risk when a person has finally found some stability.
Start with Love Bank for the best introduction to the series. Then continue in order to see how the jobs change, the town expands, and the familiar faces keep finding new ways to get involved.
