Big Rock Series and Related Books by Lauren Blakely
The Big Rock “Series” by Lauren Blakely is one of my favorite all-time series. They began as male point of view standalone romantic comedies, but they all take place in New York and are related by friends or family, yet they each stand beautifully alone. After the 3rd book in the series, Lauren released a dual POV book that was also connected via friends and family. At this point none of these were considered a series yet. Only when the series was about to end did Lauren give it a series name and group them as a series. BUT she only grouped the male POV books together. Of the 12 books, only 6 are male POV, but they all relate. So here is the reading order of them ALL.
Keep in mind, they each stand alone perfectly fine. You will never feel lost. BUT, if you go out of order, you may see glimpses of a couple together before you read their story.
Big RockĀ by Lauren BlakelyĀ ā¤Spencer & Charlotteā¤Male POV
It’s not just the motion of the ocean, ladies. It’s definitely the SIZE of the boat too.
And I’ve got both firing on all cylinders. In fact, I have ALL the right assets. Looks, brains, my own money, and a big c&$k.
You might think I’m an as%*$le. I sound like one, donāt I? I’m hot as sin, rich as heaven, smart as hell and hung like a horse.
Guess what? You haven’t heard my story before. Sure, I might be a playboy, like the NY gossip rags call me. But Iām the playboy whoās actually a great guy. Which makes me one of a kind.
The only trouble is, my dad needs me to cool it for a bit. With conservative investors in town wanting to buy his flagship Fifth Avenue jewelry store, he needs me not only to zip it up, but to look the part of the committed guy. Fine. I can do this for Dad. After all, Iāve got him to thank for the family jewels. So I ask my best friend and business partner to be my fiancĆ©e for the next week. Charlotteās up for it. She has her own reasons for saying yes to wearing this big rock.
And pretty soon all this playing pretend in public leads to no pretending whatsoever in the bedroom, because she just canāt fake the kind of toe-curling, window-shattering orgasmic cries she makes as I take her to new heights between the sheets.
But I canāt seem to fake that I might be feeling something real for her.
What the hell have I gotten myself into with thisā¦big rock?
BIG ROCK is a standalone rom-com written from the guyās POV by NYT Bestselling author Lauren Blakelyā¦

Mister OĀ by Lauren Blakely ā¤Nick (Spencer’s Best Friend) & Harper (Spencer’s Sister)ā¤ Male POV
Just call me Mister O. Because YOUR pleasure is my super power.
Making a woman feel āoh-god-thatās-goodā is the name of the game, and if a man canāt get the job done, he should get out of the bedroom. Iām talking toe-curling, mind-blowing, sheet-grabbing ecstasy. Like I provide every time.
I suppose that makes me a superhero of pleasure, and my mission is to always deliver.
BUT then I’m thrown for a loop when a certain woman asks me to teach her everything about how to win a man. The only problem? She’s my best friend’s sister, but she’s far too tempting to resist–especially when I learn that sweet, sexy Harper, has a dirty mind too and wants to put it to good use. What could possibly go wrong as I give the woman I’ve secretly wanted some no-strings-attached lessons in seduction?
No one will know, even if we send a few naughty texts. Okay, a few hundred. Or if the zipper on her dress gets stuck. Not on that! Or if she gives me those get-over-here-and-take-me-eyes on the train in front of her whole family.
The trouble is the more nights I spend with her in bed, the more days I want to spend with her out of bed. And for the first time ever, I’m not only thinking about how to make a woman cry out in pleasure — I’m thinking about how to keep her in my arms for a long time to come.
Looks like the real Adventures of Mister O have only just begun….

Well HungĀ by Lauren Blakely ā¤Wyatt (Nick’s Brother) & Natalie (Charlotte’s Sister)ā¤ Male POV
Here’s what you need to know about me — I’m well-off, well-hung and quick with a joke. Women like a guy who makes them laugh. Even better if he’s loyal and hard-working. That’s me.
Enter Natalie. Hot, sexy, smart, and my new assistant. Which makes her totally off limits…
Hey, I’m a good guy. Really. I do my best to stay far away from the kind of temptation she brings to work. Until one night in Vegas…
Yeah, you’ve heard this one before. Bad news on the business front, drowning our sorrows in a few too many Harvey Wallbangers, and then I’m banging her. In my hotel room. In her hotel room. Behind the Titanic slot machine at the Flamingo (don’t ask). And before I can make her say “Oh God right there YES!” one more time, we’re both saying yes–the big yes–at a roadside chapel in front of a guy in press-on sideburns and a shiny gold leisure suit.
We’ll just untie the knot in the morning, right?
The trouble is . . . I don’t know how to keep my hands off my soon-to-be ex-wife.
The Sexy OneĀ by Lauren Blakely ā¤SimonĀ & Abby (Harper’s Best Friend)ā¤
(Dual POV, not officially part of the series: One Love Series Book 1)
A hot and sweet forbidden romance from #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Lauren Blakely…
Let me count the ways why falling into forbidden love is not my wisest moveā¦
1. She works with me every single day.
Did I mention she’s gorgeous, sweet, kind and smart?
2. She works in my home.
Playing with my five-year-old daughter. Teaching my little girl. Cooking for my princess. Which meansā¦
3. She’s the nanny.
And that makes her completely off-limitsā¦But it doesnāt stop me from wanting her. All of her.
*****
The other nannies in this city don’t call him The Sexy One for nothing. My boss, the amazingly wonderful single father to the girl I take care of every day is ridiculously hot, like movie star levels with those arms, and those eyes, and that body. Not to mention, the way he dotes on his little girl melts me all over. But what really makes my knees weak are the times when his gaze lingers on me. In secret. When no one else is around.
I can’t risk my job for a chance at something moreā¦can I? But I donāt know how to resist him much longer eitherā¦
The Only OneĀ by Lauren Blakely ā¤Gabriel (Simon’s friend) & Penny (Nick & Wyatt’s friend)ā¤ (Dual POV, officially the One Love Series)
Letās say there was this guy. And he gave you the most mind-blowing night of sex in your life. And you never saw him again.
Until ten years later.
Now, it turns out heās the ONLY ONE in all of Manhattan whose restaurant is available for my charityās event.
The trouble is, he doesnāt recognize me.
***
This woman Iām working with is so damn alluring. The first time I set eyes on her, Iām captivated and I canāt get her out of my mind. Even if itās risky to tango with someone Iām working with, sheās a risk Iām willing to take.
The trouble is, she wonāt give me the time of day.
But Iām determined to change that.
Full PackageĀ by Lauren Blakely ā¤Josie (Wyatt’s Sister) & Chase (Wyatt’s Best Friend)ā¤ Male POV
I’ve been told I have quite a gift.
Hey, I don’t just mean in my pants. I’ve got a big brain too, and a huge heart of gold. And I like to use all my gifts to the fullest, the package included. Life is smooth sailing….
Until I find myself stuck between a rock and a sexy roommate, which makes for one very hard…place.
Because scoring an apartment in this city is harder than finding true love. So even if I have to shack up with my buddy’s smoking hot and incredibly amazing little sister, a man’s got to do what a man’s got to do.
I can resist Josie. I’m disciplined, I’m focused, and I keep my hands to myself, even in the mere five-hundred square feet we share. Until the one night she insists on sliding under the covers with me. It’ll help her sleep after what happened that day, she says.
Spoiler–neither one of us sleeps.
Did I mention she’s also one of my best friends? That she’s brilliant, beautiful and a total firecracker? Guess that makes her the full package too.
What’s a man stuck in a hard place to do?

A sexy new standalone romance from #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Lauren Blakely that’ll make you swoon…
The moment I run into the woman I once loved madly, I’ve got one goal and one goal only–a second chance. The plan? Go big or go home.
Fine, getting into my birthday suit at my ex-girlfriend’s place of work might not seem like the best way to win her heart again. But trust me on this count–she always liked me best without any clothes on. And you’ve got to play to your strengths when you’re fighting an uphill battle. I’m prepared to fight hard for her because sometimes you need a second chance at first love.
He’s the one who got away . . .
The nerve of Tyler Nichols to reappear like that at my job, showing off his rock-hard body that drove me wild far too many nights. That man with his knowing grin and mischievous eyes is nothing but a cocky jerk to saunter back into my life. Except, what if he’s not. . . ? I’ve tried like hell to forget him, but maybe I’m cursed to remember the guy I fell madly in love with eight years ago. Lord knows I’m not over him, so what’s the harm in giving him a week to prove he’s changed in the ways that matter?
After all, how do you resist THE HOT ONE?

Henley also happens to be my biggest rival, and now we’re forced to work together every day on the most important project of my career. Spending all that time with her ought to be easy, but the trouble is I can’t quite figure out if she wants to kick me in the lug nuts or beg me to give her a good, hard fuel injection. Until one night that question is answered on the hood of a sports car when she calls out my name three times. And we can’t seem to put on the brakes.
If sleeping with the enemy is a bad idea, how much more dangerous would it be to fall in love with her?

Hey, thanks so much for explaining the reading order! I’m one of those people that has to read it in order and the fact that I was switching between the timelines of two different series was so stressful! Just wanted to point out, though, that
in the description you have of The Sexy One, you’ve put Simon down as Harper’s other brother, which he’s not, otherwise Mister O would have had a lot more incest in it haha!
Thanks again! I can properly enjoy the books now š
