Recs if you like Twisted Games...

yearning for so long that the MC finally snaps and has a fuck it moment. this hits the best when the relationship is taboo and they KNOW its wrong but give in anyway 🫨

fuck it and then fuck each other 🤷

diamonds? never heard of her. these books feature all things hand(s) on neck romance—choking, breath play, asserting dominance—all in the name of pleasure !

your neck 🤝 their hand(s)

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.

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 ♻️

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

Unhinged men, complicated power dynamics, and love that feels dangerous but irresistible. These stories are messy, intense, and emotionally consuming — not for the faint-hearted, but impossible to stop reading. Enter only if you like your romance dark, addictive, and a little bit feral.

To Whom It May Concern,

Are you ever stuck wishing your 9 to 5 was more exciting? Live vicariously through these stories without risk of getting a call from HR. It’s taboo and against the rules but it’s fiction, so enjoy all you want! Let’s set up a meeting with your next read and hopefully take it offline afterwards ❤️‍🔥

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind Regards,

Your local spicy romance connoisseur💋

Featuring morally gray men, unreliable narrators, emotional damage, dragons, serial killers, fake dating, enemies-to-lovers, and at least 47 books someone claimed “changed their life.” Proceed with caution.

when your knees feel like they're 80 y/o, but you forget all about it when he says, "Crawl to me". 🙂‍↕️

bodyguards, knights & royal guards

One hates everyone and the other smile too much. Somehow, it works — and now feelings are involved.

Please note that dark romance isn’t for everyone, and always make sure to check the trigger warnings beforehand ❤️ Your mental health matters!

I asked readers in the Club forum What was your first read for Pagebound? Allowing for it to be either their first recorded book on Pagebound or the first they read for a badge. These were the answers I got. Additions are always welcome.

Stolen glances, secrecy, and emotions that refuse to stay quiet. Messy, intense, and addictive.

basically copied from sophynx but with my own personal recs

When you love a villian more than a hero

contemporary royal novels where at least one of the MCs are part of a royal family

**no fantasy/romantasy here

Books that have highly raved audiobook versions versus reading - usually due to a sexy narrator

while I do always love the OG man, sequel men are just superior

tried to get all their books from regular shows and the live show & patreon episodes on here - if i’ve forgotten any of them, please lmk!!
