but the jury is out on the actions of their brat tamer🧎‍♂️‍➡️are we in an elevator cause these MCs are ready to push all the buttons for a crumb of punishment in return 🙂‍↕️ the way they run their mouth you would think they were in a marathon 🏃

being told to watch your mouth is a challenge, not a threat—don’t forget that 😌

I hate the term “reverse age gap” because age shouldn’t be gendered. in this list, you will find books where SHE is the older one 😏

please, as always, send any and all suggestions my way 😇

romance books that use toys to heighten pleasure - solo or with a partner(s). dildos, vibrators, and some sprinkling of unconventional items 🥵 no cacti allowed

if a safeword is established, i want to see it get used and i want the angst and the comfort and the negotiation!

aka. books in which a character uses their safeword

(may also include books with the partner noticing discomfort and stopping without explicit safeword usage)

the doctor will see you now 🩺 doctors, nurses and all round medical professionals here to raise your heart rate and get you back to your best in no time.

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.
