Love is Messy is a four-book contemporary romance series published entirely in 2017. The titles give a good sense of the tone: Hot Mess, Twice Burned, Bad Things, and Battle Scars. Each book follows a different couple whose personal baggage complicates their shot at happiness.

Emily Goodwin leans into the messiness rather than glossing over it. These are not stories about perfect people finding easy love. The characters have histories that make trust difficult, and the romance has to work through genuine damage rather than manufactured conflict.
