Recs if you like Problematic Summer Romance...

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)

save a horse, ride a face, or whatever. death by puswa is very much encouraged in these titles. these MCs really ate 🤤

grab the headboard and dont hover, 𝓈𝒾𝓉 🐒

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 🤷

do you hate unnecessary heartache from couples deciding against all reason to breakup just to get back together two pages later? you're in the right place! all these books are safe from the third act breakup trope, but that doesn't mean they don't have angst and conflict!

greatly inspired by @beanchambers on tiktok

feel free to suggest books in the comments!

If you love a pathetic, down bad, simp of a man… look no further

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

i hope that you absolutely CONQUER this list and have fun while doing so☺️

books with covers where there’s a body and no head

Women are unrepresented in STEM. Based on the numbers from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, women account for only 29.3% of STEM federal workers.

This is a small, very niche, list of romance novels that feature women in male dominated fields! Please share any other romance novels featuring women in a STEM field, I would be honored to add them to the list!

All Ali Hazelwood novels in once place, because lets be honest - we'd read her shopping list if she gave it to us.

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.

The wedding isn’t for the main character(s), but they're still roped into the festivities/chaos one way or another

Another icon. Must read everything she writes ALWAYS

Nominees and winners of every category of the Good Reads Choice Awards for the year of 2025. Some books overlap so they were only entered once.

kind of struggling with books where the MC's instantly get together or hook up, so here are some book recs where the couple waits until at least 50% of the book to get together

This list is full of women who solve problems, break rules, run experiments, ask inconvenient questions, and generally refuse to stay in the lanes they were assigned. Fiction and non-fiction, from romance to history. Welcome to the nerdy, brilliant chaos.

Book in hand, toes in sand.
