Recs if you like The Long Game...

a collection of autistic coded characters in fiction [ recommendations welcome! ]

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!

do you answer? the characters in these books did. this list contains books featuring anal play, from spanking to rimming to full on penetration (pegging included), there’s a little something for everyone 😈

as always, taking any and all suggestions!

These books have the potential to live rent-free in your head the rest of your life. You're welcome!

If I missed any LET ME KNOW!

romance books with reflective surface scenes where they watch themselves or each other 👀

PSA: the “dirty” in the title is not intended to have a negative connotation, but instead be a play on words; this is a safe space 🫂

theres a mirror joke here somewhere but i cant see it — apologies to vampires everywhere.

romance books where it is specifically mentioned that the MMC is uncut 🍌 when the skin is up, theyre snug as a bug. but pull the skin back to reveal the 🍄‍🟫 surprise!

✂️ no scissors or scalpels allowed ✂️

apologies in advance for the emoji choices but i am CACKLING 🤣

books where the man has so much patience it'll make you question your self control

M/M hurt/comfort books - ones I’ve read plus ones recommended to me in the r/MM_RomanceBooks subreddit. Most of these have pretty intense hurt because that’s my jam

Tongue in cheek list inspired by the book titled above, here is a list of all the romance books I have read with my IRL book club!

Having a space that embraces the love story and all tropes/themes/sub genres has been so wonderful and is what got me back into my reading journey, so I hope this does that for you!
Books range from YA to 4️⃣🌶️

This is a judgement free zone and some of these books weren't my personal fave but they could be yours 🤗

2 new books are added each month

This is a list of books that contain no third act breakup. This list is not finished and I plan on adding more books whenever I have the time! But please keep in mind that I have not personally read all these books but as far as I know they do not contain a third act breakup but please let me know if there are books that do not fit or if you have any suggestions! Have a wonderful day besties ❤📚

books with covers where there’s a body and no head

Queer joy focuses on thriving rather than just surviving, highlighting self-acceptance, connection, and the reclamation of space in a world that often seeks to erase queer voices. Tragic queer stories are beautiful, but we deserve to have our fun, love and happiness!

Recs are definitely welcome!

Whether it's about the romance or the sport or both, these books at the very least contain characters who practice and/or care about sports, are part of the LGBTQIA+ community, and possibly do the kissy

Fiction reads featuring characters with disabilities, physical and/or mental health both included.

Recommendations welcome!

Until someone gives us a full-on sports romance quest, I’m starting my own hockey romance league. 🏒 Some of these books are heavy on the ice time, others barely drop the puck—but I’m a completionist. Gotta collect ’em all (because who wouldn’t want the whole team)? 😉

Queer romance set in, on, around, or a stone's-throw-away-from a hockey rink. Pro-level, Ivy league or Rec-level, we don't discriminate here.

My fave MM romances (most are hockey related lol)!

most of these ive read a few i haven’t but they’re all gay ! most of it is hockey :)
