Melanie Jacobson’s standalone novels account for a significant portion of her catalog. Eleven books published between 2011 and 2024 cover a range of settings and situations, from the Southern California beaches of her early books to the Louisiana backdrop of The Big Easy & Other Lies.
The standalones are a good entry point for new readers. They require no series knowledge and deliver Jacobson’s signature blend of humor, heart, and clean romance in a single volume. Titles like Twitterpated, Painting Kisses, and Perfect Set hint at the playful tone that runs through her work.
