The Before series is one of Reynolds’s more recent projects, starting with Before We Fall in 2023. The titles themselves signal the emotional stakes in these books. Each story deals with couples who are running out of time to figure out what they mean to each other, whether because of past mistakes, present dangers, or the simple fear of letting someone in.
With three books published through 2025, the series shows Reynolds working in a slightly more emotional register than some of her earlier work. The alpha heroes are still here, but they carry more baggage, and the heroines have their own reasons for keeping walls up. If you have read her other series and want something that leans a bit more into the emotional side of things, the Before books are a good place to start.
