Recs if you like The Roommate...

romance books featuring scenes of dry humping / grinding / frottage ⛓️ 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 🎠 so, jump on and take a (dry) ride, things are about to heat up (and possibly get wet)

for when you need to juggle acting normal, giving in to your bodys reaction, and not giving yourself away 😈

getting a boner in a public space just at the thought of someone, unexpected sexy time at a restaurant, public remote play, getting aroused when you know its wrong, a brush of a hand or a butt and oops! im horny: all of these plus more!

the aim of the game is dont let anyone ✨know✨

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 😇

splish, splash, splosh, this water is about to slosh 💦 shower, bath, pool, hot tub, ocean scenes where water is used as an aid for heat, buoyancy, assistance, 𝒻𝑒𝒶𝓇 (im looking at you ms carlton 🦈), and just general ✨vibes✨

in these steamy titles, the water should make you clean but you end up dirtier than when you entered, and we’re here for it 🛁

save water, shower together ♻️

Every year we pick 10 books that we think rise above the rest. These are the 70 we've picked since 2019.

Updated to include our Best of 2025 picks.

there is a sea of audiobook narrators and I know we all have our favorites. I'm starting a series of lists featuring both popular and underrated narrators. consider this the first of many.

let's kick things off with Teddy Hamilton. he does everything romance related, mm romance, shifter romance, alien romance, and more. I tried not to include audible exclusives so that anyone without access to audible can find something from this list.

as always, taking suggestions!!

who doesn’t love a little romantic tension in their kitchen

You know what this is

Sixty-nine (that’s right, 69, by pure unplanned luck!) recommendations for you — everything from bonkers to bloody to blazing hot…naughty bits that we believe deliver the whole banana (and sometimes no banana at all, if you know what we mean). If you're looking for something specific (or trying to avoid it), you can find this list with subcategories on our site.

A list of the Top 100 Romances of the past 50 years as voted on by the Magnificent Firebird community.

This weekend, the world is celebrating the second most important romance holiday in February (see last week’s episode for the most important)—Valentine’s Day! To lean into the traditions of the day, we thought we’d offer you a dozen roses this week, in the form of books! We’re taking the topic broadly—from character names, to author names, to rose scented things, to roses on the page — historical, contemporary, mafia and more…there’s something in here for everyone. 🌹

We devoted an episode to these lovable dummies back in season six. These are our picks.

Romance between roomies

Someone in this relationship is famous for something.

Cozy romance novels, some of them even series, that are more than a quick romance fix. No dark romance, just wholesome romance with tension, spicy and cuteness overload.
