rise & grind
romance books featuring scenes of dry humping / grinding / frottage โ๏ธ if you thought this list has anything to do with coffee or getting money, i apologise (kinda)
dry humping as foreplay can be hotter than penetration and these MCs live up to it. bonus points if they get caught or have to stop before things go further ๐ so, jump on and take a (dry) ride, things are about to heat up (and possibly get wet)






the best seat in the house is their face
save a horse, ride a face, or whatever. death by puswa is very much encouraged in these titles. these MCs really ate ๐คค
grab the headboard and dont hover, ๐๐พ๐ ๐






Appreciation for the tall ladies ๐ซก
As a tall-ish girl myself, every time I come across an FMC who is described as tiny, I yearn a bit more for some tall FMC representation โ we can be love interests too! ๐ฅน๐ So I made this list of (mostly romance and fantasy) books with a tall FMC. Whether she is taller than her partner, or they are somehow EVEN TALLER than her, all is welcome here ๐ซถ
I havenโt read every single book on this list, so please correct me if I am wrong somewhere. More book recs super appreciated!!! ๐ค






no Brat was hurt (much) in the making of this list
but the jury is out on the actions of their brat tamer๐งโโ๏ธโโก๏ธare we in an elevator cause these MCs are ready to push all the buttons for a crumb of punishment in return ๐โโ๏ธ the way they run their mouth you would think they were in a marathon ๐
being told to watch your mouth is a challenge, not a threatโdonโt forget that ๐






๐ค Dark Romance โ Morally Grey, Emotionally Ruined
Unhinged men, complicated power dynamics, and love that feels dangerous but irresistible. These stories are messy, intense, and emotionally consuming โ not for the faint-hearted, but impossible to stop reading. Enter only if you like your romance dark, addictive, and a little bit feral.






romance books ft. daddy issues
these MCs have trauma they need to work through: parental neglect, absent father, loss of a parent, emotional / physical / psychological ab*se, divorce. this list may be books that you want to read or those that you want to avoid - whichever applies to you, its here nonetheless. bonus points if the MCs partner/s help them work through their trauma.
๐จ please check your triggers ๐จ
