Once Upon a Kiss Books in Order

Once Upon a Kiss takes contemporary romance and gives it a playful fairy-tale shimmer. The stories are set in recognizably modern worlds, but the openings often feel like wish-fulfillment setups, strange meetings, daring requests, and heroes or heroines who seem to have wandered in from another kind of story.

Charlotte Carter's Catching a Daddy shows exactly how elastic that premise can be. A father out fishing with his son meets a beautiful stranger with a wildly unusual request, and the book happily rides the line between romantic comedy, fantasy logic, and straight category heat. The result is intentionally bigger and sillier than real life, in a fun way.

This series is not aiming for quiet realism.

It is aiming for the feeling that impossible things might still turn into a happy ending if the right two people collide at the right moment. That makes the tone lighter, flirtier, and more openly fanciful than a standard small-town or workplace romance.

Expect meet-cutes with extra sparkle, emotional sincerity underneath the joke, and a steady promise that love can turn nonsense into meaning. If you enjoy romances that know how to wink at the reader without losing heart, Once Upon a Kiss is a good place to browse.
