Love (Jillian Dodd) Books in Order

Despite the name on this page, this corner of Jillian Dodd's work is best understood as the Crawford brothers romances. These are adult contemporary stories that can stand on their own, but they connect through family ties, overlapping characters, and the kind of wedding, holiday, and reunion chaos that keeps everyone in one another's business.

The men are charming. The situations are not simple.

Books like Vegas Love, Broken Love, and Fake Love lean into very readable romance setups, wake-up-married trouble, brother's best friend history, secret relationships, fake engagement pressure, and second chances that may or may not be a terrible idea. The Crawford brothers are linked, but each book focuses on a different central couple, which makes the series easy to sample without feeling lost.

What Jillian Dodd does well here is balance sweetness with mess. These are not cold billionaire fantasies. Even when the characters brush up against celebrity, sports, money, or glamorous jobs, the stories stay focused on emotional history, family expectations, and the way one romantic mistake can haunt people for years. There is chemistry, but there is also baggage.

The tone is a little sexier than her YA work, though it still has that familiar Dodd quality of moving quickly and keeping characters tied to a larger social circle. If you like romances where the leads already have history, where weddings cause trouble instead of solving it, and where every sibling has a turn waiting in the wings, this is a good series to keep in order.
