Carmen Jenner’s Friend Zone series includes Harley & Rose (2016) and Styx & Stones (2019), both contemporary romances about characters navigating the shift from friendship to something more.
Harley & Rose came first, with a three-year gap before Styx & Stones followed in 2019. The books share a thematic connection through the friends-to-lovers trope, and each title pairs the names of its two main characters.
Jenner writes romance with emotional intensity and characters who have real complications in their lives. The Friend Zone books explore what happens when people who already know each other well have to decide whether acting on their feelings is worth the risk of losing the friendship.
