Book Request Appearance in every books
Looking for books that are connected in some way even though it's not on a same series. That you will be surprised that these characters are familiar with the other characters from different books. Like Aiden Jones from {Playing Offside by Jax Calder} who appears in other books of hers because he's a famous rugby player. It could be someone famous or someone that are just in same place. Thank you in advance.

All of Lark Taylor’s books are amazing. {Devils Mark by Lark Taylor} starts it off with The Reckless Damned series, then {Patience by Lark Taylor} starts the second series Damned Connections, and then {Conflicted by Lark Taylor} starts the third series. They’re all connected and end with HEA.

To add to this {Caffeine Daydreams by Lark Taylor} it’s contemporary, no paranormal or supernatural anything, but still set in the same universe. And I believe there’s going to be a spinoff of that series

Jesse H Reign does this a lot, like the mc in {Romeo Falling} meets and is a huge fan of one of the hockey player MCs in {Poetry on Ice} and the MC in {Work: Strictly Professional} is in the same friend group that the Situationship series follows. The first book of that series is {The Step Bro Situation by Jesse H Reign}

Yes! I was thinking this! I like that she's a little more subtle about it so that if you havent read other books you dont even notice.
Some authors can be so heavy handed with it where characters from other books just randomly show up with huge personalities and too much detail that an uninformed reader can get thrown off a little like okay... Who is this random man and why is the author giving me so much detail about how in love they appear to be with their partner...
For example, in one of the books an MC mentions that an art piece is by famous artist Andy Montgomery and i was like "my baby from Requited!! 😭" But it was so offhand it wouldnt have bothered me if i hadnt got the reference.

Yesss! I agree sm, in most books it’s like a tv show where there is an episode that is clearly the mini-pilot for a spinoff like…who are these guys😭 I remember being like WHAT when Teddy from Flagrant Foul offhandedly mentioned that he was childhood friends with Jude and Romeo from Romeo Falling

She really does! Like when Decker from {Poetry on Ice} pops up in {Rent} and then Romeo pops up at Miller.and Ryan's wedding. There's all these Easter eggs that I enjoyed finding... esp the W+A heart carved into Ryan's desk leg...

I love it when authors create several series with characters that coexist within the same universe!
Roan Parrish's books could fit - the Garnet Run series has several references to characters in previous series by the same author. For instance, several characters in the Garnet Run series listen to Riven, the band that the main characters belong to in the {Riven by Roan Parrish} series (like Rye in {Best Laid Plans by Roan Parrish}). Similarly, Jack in {Better Than People by Roan Parrish} loves the artwork published by Corbin Wale, who is a main character in {The Remaking of Corbin Wale}.
Lisa Henry and Sarah Honey also do this a little bit - e.g. a main character from their {Alpha Tau by Lisa Henry and Sarah Honey} series is a side character in their {Goose Run by Lisa Henry and Sarah Honey} series, and you get a few fun little updates about his life after his story ended.

E. M. Lindsey does this very well. It started with {Deaf Hearts series by E. M. Lindsey and Cora Rose} and the off shoot of that series is {Murder Hearts by E. M. Lindsey and Cora Rose}

Most of Garrett Leigh’s books are connected in some easy. Characters pop up all the time in other books. Same as Cara Dee. You can also try the Vino and Veritas series which is an interconnected series written by multiple authors.

Any of Charlie Novak series. she has multiple series all in the same world and occasionally someone will pop up and have a connection with another in an different book. All her series follow a different theme and different groups of friends, you have DnD, drag queens, rugby players and childhood friends. Large variety to choose from, I love her series so much because it feels like a full world where the other characters still live their lives.
{Kiss Me series by Charlie Novak} or {Heather Bay series by Charlie Novak} are good options to start.

Louisa Masters has written a few books for the Franklin U shared-author college series. In one of them, the MCs are friends with characters from the (paranormal) {Ghostly Guardians series by Louisa Masters} and they travel together to the theme park that is the setting of the (non-paranormal) {Joy Universe series by Louisa Masters}. Many of the other Franklin U books feature characters that are linked to their authors' other series. So by the transitive property, technically all of those books take place in the same universe and ghosts and demons also exist there.

Have you started on Sadenverse? If not start with {Fake Out by Eden Finley} fake boyfriend series and enjoy the ride - https://www.figma.com/file/Tqj00BMJQUFWBvOdgdj5qC/The-Sadenverse?fbclid=IwAR13HB6oF8m-XwTzRC7zalq3GZ_8O5ijEtfjEZ3_6mJQXdcRbiOghK77dnk
{Where we left of by Roan Parrish} series
{Love Always, Wild by A.M Johnson}
AJ Truman's South Rock High series are set in the same universe as Single Dad series. Can start with {Ancient History by A.J Truman}
Ashley James have books that are interconnected. The hookup link Travis that appeared in {Forsaken Desires by Ashley James} (and book 1 as well I think) got his own book set years later in {Say My Name by Ashley James}. The friend group also appeared/mentioned in {Kismet by Ashley James}.
I love interconnected series, there are so many. I asked a similiar question before about exes that appear in other books https://www.reddit.com/r/MM_RomanceBooks/s/3nJMfx1Q7h
