Recs if you like Bourbon & Lies...

yearning for so long that the MC finally snaps and has a fuck it moment. this hits the best when the relationship is taboo and they KNOW its wrong but give in anyway 🫨

fuck it and then fuck each other 🤷

do you hate unnecessary heartache from couples deciding against all reason to breakup just to get back together two pages later? you're in the right place! all these books are safe from the third act breakup trope, but that doesn't mean they don't have angst and conflict!

greatly inspired by @beanchambers on tiktok

feel free to suggest books in the comments!

self care romance books in all forms: mutual, solo, IRL, video call, phone, overhearing, walking in on, public space, etc etc.

if you hate the word ‘masturbation’, try: flicking the bean, jerking off, finger banging, rub one out, beat the meat, dj the vj, wanking, jerkin the gherkin, fapping; we can go on for days. whatever you call it, i just hope you reach climax ⛰️ toys encouraged but a hand (or two or three or-) will do just fine.

🫵 𝑔𝑜 𝒻𝓊𝒸𝓀 𝓎𝑜𝓊𝓇𝓈𝑒𝓁𝒻! 🫵 😇 gladly 😇

romance books with particular interest in the MC saying iterations of “good girl” (kneeling is encouraged) - praise kink is explored in some titles.

these characters want to please their love interests by listening and following instructions. best paired with a good girl doing 𝒷𝒶𝒹 things.

this list is for those that were A+, teachers pet students and are now adults that want to be told they are doing a good job in the bedroom ⭐️ this list is NOT in reference to animals

Romance books to read for the aesthetic (usually cartoon covers because I’m trash for character art)

let's face it, you can barely do the split, but when he tells you to "spread your legs" for him, you spread them as wide as they can go like a good little s|u+. 🙂‍↕️

These romance books include spit play, but it definitely doesn’t stop there. Drinks and cum also make plenty of appearances. 😌💦

Romance books where the MMC has a mustache. Mustache rides may or may not be included 🤭

the perfect books for curling up in bed with your comfort food and reading the entire day

i hope that you absolutely CONQUER this list and have fun while doing so☺️

Romance books with characters and a romance that feels mature. There is no or very low drama in the romance itself. It's often a slowburn, sometimes medium burn and feels very natural. The characters are either emotionally aware, possess a decent level of emotional intelligence, or are actively trying to communicate even if it's hard. Aside from the romance there is ample time for the characters to have growth on their own.

Keywords; Mature, slow/med burn, no drama, steady, emotional security.

Have you ever noticed how many books there are with characters named after things you can spot on a hike? Well, here’s a list for you!

Books where at least one MC is named after something you can find on a hike (e.g. Wren, Dahlia, Wolf). Names in books are listed in the comments! I’m excusing the random extra letters or alternate spellings for these lol

please add any suggestions!!!

where each narrator voices their own character(s) throughout the entire book, not just when it’s ‘their’ chapter

Firefighter Romances Suggestions welcome! :)

Books where the story is brought to another level by the character work, be it in the complex character building or the multi layered character arc. The writer made the characters like facets, every angle and every relation gives them yet another aspect to further deepen the dynamic between characters. Every bit of past revealed shows us the way they became who they are now. Leaving us with characters arcs that feel like an entire story on their own, and often impacts the romance.

Yeehaw
