The beauty of contemporary romance series like this is the flexibility. Publishers and authors design them to be pick-up-and-read. If a strict order was vital, it would be clearly numbered as a single series. The fact that it's multiple series and standalones is your permission slip to roam. Trust the author's design; she wants new readers to be able to start anywhere that intrigues them.
I see a lot of comments overcomplicating this. They're romance novels, not 'The Silmarillion'. The primary goal is to make you smile and swoon. Any book that does that is a correct starting point. The interconnectedness is a bonus layer for enthusiasts, not a barrier to entry. Please, just pick one and enjoy. Life's too short for reading-order anxiety.

"You will walk out of this marriage as you came into it, with only your clothes. You won't get sent nor will you get a house or a car. Sign them and get lost." I fight back the tears as I signed the papers and when I look at him I almost gasp as I saw the hate he has as he look at me.
"The day you realize you made a mistake it will be too late," I tell him emotionless as I walked to the door just as I was about to step out I feel someone grabbing my arm hard making me whimper, "Why would I want someone as disgusting, ugly as you again?

I started with 'A Not So Meet Cute' because TikTok blew it up. Loved it! But then I went to read another 'Cocker' book and was so confused by the huge cast.
So I had to do a weird backtrack. I'd say if a book is super popular on BookTok right now, check if it's part of a series. If it is, maybe resist the hype and start with that series' book one instead. The hype book will still be there in a few weeks, and you'll enjoy it infinitely more with context. Patience is a virtue in romance reading order!
I think the 'Bootleg Springs' series she co-wrote is her most structured interconnected series. It’s six books about a town and a mystery, and each book advances the overall town plot while focusing on a different couple. You have to read them in order to follow the mystery thread. It’s a different kind of interconnection—plot-based, not just character-based.
It shows she can do a tightly serialized story when she wants to, not just a shared universe.
Raises hand I'm that person who accidentally read 'A Not So Meet Cute' thinking it was standalone. It's fantastic, but ends on a mild cliffhanger for the next brother's book. Learned my lesson. Now I always check the copyright page before diving in. For true standalone, stick with the titles everyone's repeating here.
My local librarian actually made me a printed list when I asked this same question! She's a huge fan. The list had the titles, publication years, and a little note beside each one like "Ancient Rome - Gladiators" or "WWII - Female Snipers." It was the most helpful thing ever. Maybe ask at your library if someone has a guide. Sometimes the human, curated touch is better than a sterile online list.
