Lauren Blakely’s The Guys Who Got Away is a six-book fiction series published across 2019 and 2020. It opens with Birthday Suit and closes with Lucky Suit, a pair of “suit” titles that bookend the sequence. In between, the series runs through Dear Sexy Ex-Boyfriend, Thanks for Last Night, The What If Guy, and The Dream Guy Next Door, each suggesting a different romantic scenario built around reconnection and second chances.
The titles point to a series where each book features a different “guy who got away,” whether that is an ex-boyfriend, a missed connection, or the neighbor who was always just out of reach. Blakely published most of the series in 2020, with the first and last entries arriving in 2019. Readers should follow the numbered order above, since the publication dates do not line up perfectly with the intended reading sequence.
