About this series
★★★★★ "Oh my stars, I loved this novella! This book has a late 80s/early 90s movie feel a la St. Elmo's Fire mixed with a dash of Mystic Pizza." - Laurie Anne, Goodreads
Can five friends grow up without growing apart?
Summer, 1991: Working at a beachfront hotel in their sleepy southern coastal town gives life-long friends Violet, Danielle, Whitney, Ford and Sully the chance to spend as much time as possible together after college graduation—and before real life begins.
One exceptionally busy night, each of them wrestles with potentially life-changing choices, all while serving guests at a wedding, searching for a lost dog, protecting hatching sea turtles, and managing a love triangle.
Don't miss this combo sequel to Grey's Boston Classics series and prequel to her new Carolina Classics series. It'll take you from the neon, big-haired 1980's into the boho, laidback 1990's.

- You Get What You Give: a retro romantic comedy
1
From insta-lover to insta-enemy. All that, and a bag of chips. It's just a regular old night in my coastal hometown—the place outsiders call the Hollywood of the East—when an impulsive rendezvous with a handsome stranger not only rocks my world, it turns it upside down. Because the next day, just as I'm contemplating the possibility of a rerun, the guy turns up like a bad penny to open a casting company in direct competition to mine. Right. Next. Door. He may have the backing of a deep-pockets LA family that's been in the movie biz since the pictures were in black and white, but I've got the loyalty of the locals. And just enough Southern charm to destroy him. He can steal my clients, but you can bet your britches he ain't gonna steal my heart. Fans of 1990's shows like Dawson's Creek and Friends will love this rivals-to-lovers, new-in-town, one night stand romantic comedy from USA Today bestselling author Karen Grey. ★★★★★ “Fun, flirty, fantastic. Can't wait for more in this series.” - LA Loves Romcoms
- Hold On To Me: a retro romantic comedy
2
She’s my boss, and she’s a stone-cold fox. Two months ago, I lost my boat, my cat, and—with my leg in a cast—my income. Until I can walk again, the only job I’m fit for is one few have survived. See, my new boss has a reputation. She's grumpy, no-nonsense, and runs a tight ship. Keeping a firm hold on a movie budget does require nerves of steel, after all. Especially when disaster strikes. When she yells at me, all I hear is the passion in her voice. All I want in those moments is to kiss her until she can't think straight. And then convince her that it's okay to fall in love with me. Fans of 1990's movies like Swimming with Sharks and Beautiful Girls will love this slow-burn, boss-assistant, younger man older woman, entertainment biz, 1990’s office romance from USA Today bestselling author Karen Grey.
- I Want It That Way: a nostalgic romantic comedy

Fake relationship? As if. I don’t need a man to complete me, but to get my tubes tied before I turn thirty, I do need a husband. So when former child TV star Lukas Keith's desperate for a favor, the exchange of my services for his seems like a great idea. I help him relearn how to drive a car, and he acts as my fiancé for a few doctor’s visits. What could go wrong? Bingeing 90’s TV shows like Seinfeld and Friends have you jonesing for a time when email and cell phones were strange new things, and an app was something you ate before dinner? Then this steamy, slow burn, fake relationship, entertainment biz romantic comedy is just what the doctor ordered. ★★★★★ “Secret pining and attraction at its BEST!” - Leigh Ann, Bookbub ★★★★★ “A unique take on the marriage-of-convenience trope!” - Bella, Goodreads ★★★★★ “The narration, by Amy McFadden and Alastair Haynesbridge, was a perfect pairing. Amy truly captured Dani's heart and spirit and made you want to root for her. Alastair really made you feel Lukas' vulnerability and caring and deep sense of loyalty. They made this slow-burn romance truly fly by, and they did Karen Grey's wonderful material justice. - LA Loves Romcoms For this title's bonus epilogue and free novellas subscribe at follow karen grey dot come
- When I Come Around: a retro romantic comedy
4
1999 goals: Get a life, get real… and get a room. No one ever said I was the brightest bulb on the tree, but a near-death experience finally knocks some sense into my thick head. Luckily, my jerk of an ex washes his hands of me, but I’m left with so many burnt bridges to re-build. Landing a job on any movie or TV show that’ll have me has to be my #1 priority. Thankfully, my life-long friends still love me enough to help. When the one I always wished could be more than a friend shows up on my doorstep, however, all my good intentions go right out the window. Before I know it, I’ve convinced him that an out-of-town, friends-with-benefits deal will be the perfect way to get over each other. Is it another in a long line of bad decisions, or a move that'll turn things around? 110 percent, I hope he can handle the truth. Fans of 90’s TV shows, from Friends to Seinfeld, will love this second chance, friends-to-lovers, retro romance, where a grumpy cinnamon roll hero and a wounded bird heroine vie for a happy-ever-after despite interference from meddling found-family friends.
- What Happens in Carolina: a Carolina Classics novella
First, there’s only one office. Then, there’s only one bed. Then, there’s only one condom. I’m over the moon when I land my first-ever writing job on a new TV show that’s like, da bomb. So what if my old boss twisted her son’s arm to get me the job? I’m not so enthused when I have to share an office the size of a broom closet with a grumpy guy who ignores me. I don’t care if he’s totally fly. I’ve got enough on my plate trying to come up with high concept storylines and punchy dialogue for hormone-filled teenagers—the actors and the characters—while being hazed in the writers’ room. Things begin to heat up between us on a work trip to the gorgeous coastal filming location for our show, but when a hurricane threatens, sharing an office is the last thing we need to worry about. Fans of TV shows like Dawson’s Creek and Buffy the Vampire Slayer will love this throwback 1990’s forced proximity, partners to lovers, road trip romcom with an unconventionally geeky hero.
