Kiss and Make Up/All The Right Moves Books in Order

This part of Sara Ney's catalog has an earlier, sweeter feel than some of her later adult sports romances. The books in the Kiss and Make Up corner, including Kissing in Cars, He Kissed Me First, and A Kiss Like This, lean into first love, awkward chemistry, school-age emotion, and the thrill of a crush that suddenly becomes impossible to ignore.

The stories are connected by tone and by overlapping characters, especially around the Wakefield family and their social circle. In Kissing in Cars, Molly Wakefield falls into an unlikely connection with Weston McGrath, the hard-to-read star athlete everyone notices from a distance. He Kissed Me First turns up the snark with Matthew Wakefield and Cecelia. A Kiss Like This goes quieter and gentler with shy Abigail and broody goalie Caleb.

What keeps these books working is their sense of youthful intensity. Everything feels huge because, at that age, it usually does. A look means something. A text means something. A first kiss can reroute your entire week. Ney writes that emotional volume well without making the books feel overly dramatic. The humor is still there, but the softness is easier to spot.

These are romance books built on tension more than spectacle.

If you like awkward heroines, guarded boys, school and campus settings, and relationships that grow out of teasing, friendship, and a lot of nervous attraction, this is a good series to try. It shows a lighter side of Sara Ney's voice while still giving you the banter and chemistry she is known for.
