The Friend Zone Series
From the Book description:
Kristen Peterson doesn't do drama, will fight to the death for her friends, and has no room in her life for guys who just don't get her. She's also keeping a big secret: facing a medically necessary procedure that will make it impossible for her to have children.
Planning her best friend's wedding is bittersweet for Kristen -- especially when she meets the best man, Josh Copeland. He's funny, sexy, never offended by her mile-wide streak of sarcasm, and always one chicken enchilada ahead of her hangry. Even her dog, Stuntman Mike, adores him.
The only catch: Josh wants a big family someday. Kristen knows he'd be better off with someone else, but as their attraction grows, it's harder and harder to keep him at arm's length.

But when Jacob decides to give Briana the best gift imaginable—a kidney for her brother—she wonders just how she can resist this quietly sexy new doctor . . . especially when he calls in a favor she can’t refuse.

But do you really need to read Abby Jimenez’s Books in order?
The short answer is of course no. It will just make it a more enjoyable experience because of the character cameos from previous books. But they are all standalone romances that can be read in any order at any time.
But there are easter eggs from other books and you get to see how some of the characters from other books turn out. For example, in her newest book ,Just for the Summer, there are cameos from the Part of Your World series.
All in all, I hope that this guide really just encourages you to read one of my favorite authors! Now, which one will you read first?
