M.L. Collins writes young adult romance set in high school. Her Jackson High series began with The Nerd & the Quarterback (2019) and follows different pairs of students navigating first relationships. The Sweet Mountain High, Year 2 series (2021) continues with a similar format of school-based romance.
The Jackson High books each pair a different set of characters, as the titles suggest. The Good Girl & the Bad Boy (2020) and The Tomboy & The Movie Star (2020) followed the debut, with The Shy Girl & the Jock Next Door arriving in 2022. Each book works as a standalone romance, though recurring characters tie the series together.
Sweet Mountain High, Year 2 has six books, all published in 2021, with titles like My Totally Off-Limits Best Friend and My Favorite Point Guard. The series is aimed at readers who enjoy clean YA romance with familiar school-life tropes. Collins keeps her books light and focused on the emotional ups and downs of first love.
