Recs if you like The Mating Game...

I started keeping a list on my phone every time I caught a character drooling over the love interest's forearms and now I am sharing my findings with the world! I shall continue to conduct this important groundbreaking research for the sake of all mankind . Looking for collaborators! If you find any mentions of sexy forearms in your books, I would love to add it!

Note: Inclusion in this list doesn't mean I loved the book, strangely, some of these books are my lowest rated reads. 🤷🏻‍♀️

self explanatory

Cute, cozy and festive for the nice. Spicy with a side of creative use of fairy lights for the naughty. Regardless if you want some ho-ho-wholesome or ho-ho-horny or a little bit of both, there is a holiday read for you.

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.

For the readers who watched The X-Files and thought, “Okay, but what if I want the monster?”

A weird little list of paranormal rom-coms, cryptid crushes, alien encounters, werewolf nonsense, Loch Ness longing, conspiracy chaos, and supernatural love interests who are probably bad for your blood pressure but excellent for the plot.

Bring snacks, suspend disbelief, and please do not flirt with Bigfoot unsupervised.

books i’ve read (and liked) that made me feel the cozy calm (or dark grit) of fall

no rhyme or reason, just ✨vibes✨

**i’m including some cozy fantasy/spooky season/fall-occurring books, but this list is also meant to expand beyond those limited sub-genres to include books i think would hit different if read during fall or majorly incorporate elements i associate w fall like mountains/forests, adventures, murder, small towns, seasons of change/hardship, grittiness, dark academia, pirates, etc

I'm tired of reading bodice rippers from the 90s with the same tired tropes. Give me 21st century characters and plots, particularly if it isn't very dark and violent.

Winter themed romance books! 🧤🧥❄️☃️🌨 winter Not 🎄🤶🎅🎁🧑‍🎄 winter

Not necessarily Christmas but maybe snow is involved, maybe it's set in Jan/Feb, those sorts of books!

Feel free to recommend more and I can add!

From sweet pack rom-coms and cozy omega nesting fluff to pregnant omegas, M/M, mpreg, heat cycles, claiming bites, scent-drunk mates, and books that need both a cold shower and a warning label.

For every flavor of omegaverse: soft, spicy, chaotic, tender, feral, and biologically inconvenient 🧁🌶🐺

Books that take place in Colorado

Featuring some Mountain men and Cowboys, different plots and stories but a main focus on a romance between a grumpy man and a sunshine woman

Some may be why choose, some may be shifter.
