The Paris Roommates Books in Order

The Paris Roommates series is Ava Miles’s ode to found family, city life, and the messy joy of chasing a dream in your thirties. Imagine a cross between a cozy friends-group sitcom and a modern Parisian rom-com, with five roommates at the center.

Years ago, six young Americans lived together in a cramped Paris apartment while working at the same restaurant. When their beloved mentor, chef Nanine Laurent, falls ill, they reunite in the city to help rescue her restaurant and, in the process, end up rescuing themselves.

Each book zeroes in on a different roommate. In Thea, an overworked pastry chef who has lost her spark comes back to Paris to care for Nanine and is given a makeover in style and confidence, plus a chance at love with Nanine’s impeccably dressed lawyer. Dean follows a burned-out venture capitalist who is brilliant at funding other people’s ideas but clueless about his own, until Paris and a new relationship push him to imagine a different future.

Brooke spotlights a sharp-tongued New York fashion and culture writer whose personal life is a shambles. Living again with her roommates while launching a new project, she keeps colliding with the so-called Viking of her dreams, a man who refuses to be managed. In Sawyer, a gentle art professor gets a rare second chance to pursue his boyhood dream of painting full time in Paris, only to discover that the bigger risk might be letting someone close to his heart.

The series continues with Kyle & Madison, a long-awaited friends-to-lovers story about the rebel chef running Nanine’s restaurant and the golden-boy roommate who has been at her side for a decade. Their attempt to protect both the business and their relationship gives the whole found family new stakes.

While each novel can stand alone, recurring threads connect them: Nanine’s health, the fate of the restaurant, the roommates’ shared apartment, and the way they close ranks around whoever is in trouble that book. Expect flirty banter, big career decisions, and the kind of emotional safety net that only chosen family can offer.

If you like contemporary romance with equal parts humor and heart, plus plenty of croissants, couture, and late-night rooftop talks, The Paris Roommates is a natural next step after Ava Miles’s small-town series.
