Hearth, Home, and Havoc
by RJ Blain
2017
Dakota never planned on becoming a single mother overnight, and building a safe home gets hard fast when magic keeps kicking the door open. Warm, funny, and messier than the title suggests.
Hoofin' It
by RJ Blain

Shane wants distance from the wreckage of his old life, but magic has other plans. This one mixes second chances, dangerous creatures, and Blain's talent for turning chaos into comedy.
Playing with Fire
by RJ Blain

Bailey works at a supernatural coffee shop in Manhattan and would prefer her magic stay out of trouble. Instead, a dangerous favor and a very angry police chief pull her into a magical mess with teeth.
Blending In
by RJ Blain
2018
Keeping a low profile stops being an option when magic blows up somebody's carefully managed life. Hidden truths, sudden danger, and a messy attraction do the rest.
Fowl Play
by RJ Blain

What starts badly gets weirder in a hurry, with bird-themed chaos and real danger sharing the page. Blain keeps the tone light, but the stakes do not stay small.
Last but not Leashed
by RJ Blain
2018
A bad day gets worse when magical trouble arrives wearing a very sharp smile. This is one of the lighter, faster entries, built around chaos, attraction, and a heroine trying to keep up.
No Kitten Around
by RJ Blain
2018
Cats, magic, and an escalating mess make this a brisk, funny installment. Under the jokes, there is still a real threat pushing the story forward.
Owl Be Yours
by RJ Blain
2018
A streak of rotten luck pulls the heroine of this one into another round of supernatural trouble. It is funny, romantic, and just odd enough to feel right at home in this series.
Serial Killer Princess
by RJ Blain
2018
This darkly funny entry pairs a heroine with a grim reputation and very real survival problems. Blain leans into danger, romance, and the gap between what people call you and who you really are.
Whatever for Hire
by RJ Blain
2018
What should have been a simple cat rescue turns into a supernatural disaster for Beck Wyatt. The job gets stranger by the page, and so do the people circling it.
Burn, Baby, Burn

Old trouble comes roaring back for Bailey and Quinn in this direct follow-up to Playing with Fire. The sparks are stronger, and so are the consequences.
Cheetahs Never Win
by RJ Blain
2019
Speed is useful, but it does not solve everything when magic and trouble land together. This entry moves fast, with a sharp heroine and a conflict that keeps getting bigger.
Double Trouble
by RJ Blain
2019
Unicorns, angels, and demons are a terrible combination for anybody hoping to have a quiet day. This novella goes all in on magical chaos and bad ideas.
A Chip on Her Shoulder
by RJ Blain
2020
A heroine with plenty of reasons to be angry gets dropped into another impossible magical situation. Funny on the surface, this one still keeps the pressure on.
Grave Humor
by RJ Blain
2020
Death has a habit of ruining everyone's plans, especially in Blain's world. This one mixes dark comedy, danger, and a lead who cannot stay out of trouble.
Murder Mittens

A wildly inconvenient transformation turns one woman's life upside down. To fix it, she has to survive the magic, the danger, and everything stalking close behind.
The Flame Game
by RJ Blain
2020
Bailey and Quinn return for another round of fire, magic, and unfinished business. It pays off the earlier books while raising the heat on every front.
Catnapped
by RJ Blain

When Diana's cat is stolen, a personal problem becomes a dangerous case. The search leads to bigger secrets, stranger threats, and plenty of sharp comedy.
Plaidypus
by RJ Blain
2022
After a magical hotspot changes everything, Nadine is stuck with bizarre new problems and no easy way back to normal. Weird, funny, and unexpectedly sweet, this one earns its title.
Series background & context
The Magical Romantic Comedies are the books most people point to when they want RJ Blain at her funniest. This is the home of supernatural disasters, terrible luck, weirdly lovable creatures, and heroines who keep finding themselves one magical accident away from a much worse day. The series is often also referred to as A Magical Romantic Comedy (with a body count), which is about as honest a label as you could ask for.
What makes the series especially inviting is the structure. Most of the books are standalones or near-standalones, so you can dip in almost anywhere and still get a full story. There are a few linked runs, especially around Playing with Fire, Burn, Baby, Burn, and The Flame Game, but a lot of the appeal comes from meeting a new protagonist, a new magical mess, and a new version of chaos every time.
The world is ridiculous in the best way.
Still, these are not throwaway comedies. The jokes land because the stakes are real. People get hurt. Bad things happen. Somebody is usually hiding something dangerous. The trick Blain pulls, again and again, is making the absurd feel emotionally honest. One book might hand you a supernatural coffee shop, another a stolen cat, another a magical hotspot, but the characters always react like the consequences matter.
The tone is broad without being empty. You will find witches, shifters, unicorns, demons, cats, fire magic, and some spectacularly bad ideas, but also found family, awkward tenderness, and the steady sense that love is not the opposite of disaster. It is just another thing that gets more complicated once magic shows up.
If you want the easiest entry point into Blain's catalog, this is usually it. The Magical Romantic Comedies are funny, fast, affectionate toward their disasters, and very aware that romance gets better when somebody is also trying not to die.
