Jo Bartlett has published fifteen standalone novels alongside her series work, starting with Among a Thousand Stars (2015) and continuing through A Cornish Winter’s Kiss (2025). These books cover a range of settings and tones, from the festive charm of The Christmas Choir (2018) to the more dramatic The Girl She Left Behind (2024). Several titles carry Cornwall in their names, but others venture further afield, including Meet Me In Central Park (2023), which takes the action to New York City.
The standalone novels are a good way to sample Bartlett’s writing without committing to a full series. Titles like Falling for Dr. Right (2017) and Always the Bridesmaid (2018) lean into familiar romance setups, while Murder at the Highland Practice (2020) takes a surprising detour into mystery territory. More recent entries like A Mother’s Last Wish (2025) show Bartlett expanding her emotional range while staying true to the warmth and optimism that runs through all her work.
