The Connecticut Kings series by Christina C. Jones is a sports romance series set around a fictional professional football team. Starting with Love In the Red Zone in 2016, the series has grown to ten books, with the most recent being Free Agent in 2024. The football-themed titles (Red Zone, Highlight Reel, Determining Possession, Pass Interference) give you a good sense of the vibe.
Each book follows a different player or person connected to the Kings organization as they find love. The series has been one of Jones’s most popular, running for nearly a decade with readers coming back for each new installment. If you enjoy the Sweet Heat series, you will notice some overlap, since Hints of Spice connects the two.
The Connecticut Kings books work best when read in order because characters from earlier books reappear later, and there is a sense of community that builds over time. That said, each book has its own couple and complete love story, so picking one up out of order will not leave you completely lost.
