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)

no third act breakup!
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!

couples with a licence to bang
hey google, play sports car by tate mcrae ๐๏ธ theres just something about the risk of exhibitionism and contorting bodies in a confined space with rapidly decreasing oxygen ๐ฅต
from secret hookups in a parking lot to saying fuck it cause you cant wait to make it to a bedroom, these romance books all feature explicit car scenes ๐
theyll drive stick while you ride the stick๐ฆ

pat my head and call me a good girl
romance books with particular interest in the MC saying iterations of โgood girlโ (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 ๐ท๐ถ๐น 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 โญ๏ธ this list is NOT in reference to animals

When the MMC c*ms in his pants
self explanatory

finger licking good
books where they lick their fingers clean ๐
as always, taking any and all recommendations!

the ๐๐๐ถ๐ is RAW
men raw dogging with no protection. the leads either consciously decide they want to have unprotected sex (bonus points if they tell each other they got tested and are clean), they dont have a condom available, or they ๐ป๐๐๐๐๐ to use one and realise after that they made an oopsie (ยฑ pregnancy). pretend STDs/STIs dont exist, ok? ๐โโ๏ธ

Spit on that thing
These romance books include spit play, but it definitely doesnโt stop there. Drinks and cum also make plenty of appearances. ๐๐ฆ

Itโs (hand)cuffing season
When books turn knotty naughty and one of the characters gets tied up. ๐คญ๐
โCause I might be bad, but Iโm perfectly good at itโฆ ๐ถ
Nothing like some bondage scene to spice things up. From shibari to handcuffs, from tentacles to cowboys who really know how to use a lasso, and wether the FMC or MMC is the one restrained, there is a little bit of everything in here.
I havenโt read every book here, so please correct me if I am wrong somewhere. Suggestions are always very welcum ๐ฆ

When they have a secret tattoo
They may not talk about their feelings, but apparently they will tattoo them onto their body.
13






quick off the mark
when they're having such a good time they finish before they even really start.
this list is for books where one of the main characters (usually him)... arrive unexpectedly without penetration - bonus points if pants are still on.

Suggestions welcome!

Friends-to-lovers starter pack <3
My absolute fav trope in the world!!! because nothing hits harder than the slow burn, the pining, the โweโve always been just friendsโ until suddenly one touch changes everything ๐ญ๐ Likeโฆ the history, the comfort, the way they already know each otherโs hearts, it just makes the romance 10x more swoony.
