Recs if you like The Deal...

Disclaimer: I don't wish to bring hate to any authors, I deeply believe in democracy. However I think it's important for people who hold themselves accountable for their reading choices to have access to the information about authors/books they give their time and money to. These are authors who have publicly supported Israel or middle road. If you notice someone who may have changed their stance recently or supported Palestine and are here wrongfully please do correct me

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 😇

hey google, play sports car by tate mcrae 🏎️ theres just something about the risk of exhibitionism and contorting bodies in a confined space with rapidly decreasing oxygen 🥵

theyll drive stick while you ride the stick🚦

This handpicked list brings back the heart-fluttering nostalgia of early-2000s rom-coms-think flirty banter, iconic soundtracks, and heroines with way too much emotional labor but perfect hair. Whether you're nursing a breakup, dodging one, or just craving a little lighthearted love, these movies will deliver serotonin, drama, and maybe even hope. You want that "why don't guys do grand gestures anymore?" energy? This list's got you.

let's face it, you can barely do the split, but when he tells you to "spread your legs" for him, you spread them as wide as they can go like a good little s|u+. 🙂‍↕️

tortured/traumatised MCs where the love interest endeavours to eliminate the root cause of their trauma by any means necessary (some may eventuate in death) ⚔️ protective mode, activated ⚔️

⚠️ CHECK YOUR TRIGGERS

Cult classics, guilty pleasures, popcorn reads, addictive stories in dire need of an editor, just some good old fun — these are books with an average enjoyment rating that is at least 0.5 stars higher than the average quality rating. This is a purely objective criterion and doesn’t necessarily reflect my personal opinion on quality or enjoyment of these books. Suggestions welcome! Please also inform me when I messed up the math/the ratings changed, that’s bound to happen sooner or later.

these MCs have trauma they need to work through: parental neglect, absent father, loss of a parent, emotional / physical / psychological ab*se, divorce. this list may be books that you want to read or those that you want to avoid - whichever applies to you, its here nonetheless. bonus points if the MCs partner/s help them work through their trauma.

🚨 please check your triggers 🚨

the perfect books for curling up in bed with your comfort food and reading the entire day

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 ❤📚

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)? 😉

I have not read all of these - I do have a life

The book girlies are seeing their favourite characters on screen this year so if you didn’t know or want to be ahead of the game and prep, this list is here. This list includes tv adaptations and movies so if you’re curious make sure to see if it’s streaming or theatre release.

P.s. I’m including books whose adaptations already came out this year so far

The first book in a series.

Romances where the FMC has been victim of SA and is now healing and learning how to trust again or is assaulted 🍇 in the book itself and the after is part of the plot as well.

(Added some content to the recs in the comments. Please do your own research into the potential triggers as well before diving into any of these as some are quite dark.)
