Recs if you like Wait For It...

Because we‘d all kneel for a cute nerd (or bespectacled hottie in general) 🥵📚 Collection of romance books where the MMC wears glasses and looks fabulously hot in them 😍 Bonus points if there is a scene where he takes them off to kiss his partner harder 🔥🌶️ Recommendations are always very much welcome (also I haven‘t read every single book on here, so please feel free to correct me if one doesn‘t fit)

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

howdy, neighbour 👋 this type of forced proximity hits different when you physically cant escape the person next door.

apartment neighbours: sharing a wall and they can hear 𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇𝓎𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑔 🏢

house neighbours: seeing them when you walk outside or catching a sneak peak through your window 🏠

time to decide if you’re ready to give your spare key to the hottie next door 🔑

Romance books with characters and a romance that feels mature. There is no or very low drama in the romance itself. It's often a slowburn, sometimes medium burn and feels very natural. The characters are either emotionally aware, possess a decent level of emotional intelligence, or are actively trying to communicate even if it's hard. Aside from the romance there is ample time for the characters to have growth on their own.

Keywords; Mature, slow/med burn, no drama, steady, emotional security.

Let's gather all the no 3rd act breakup romance books we can. I want them to show us that even if they fight they'll work through it together🥹💗✨ feel free to give me more books to add to the list.

Please leave reccs

Books where at least one of the protagonists is a single parent/guardian and they all become one beautiful family

One or both main characters are grieving the loss of a sibling.

• The books included here are exclusively from the Romance genre

• I tried to only include books in which the death is mentioned or heavily implied in the blurb

• For now, I left out those where the death is a spoiler and is part of the plot or happens later in the story. I might change my mind later

Recs are very welcome 🫶🏻

I'm a Mariana Zapata completionist. She is my queen and I must read everything she writes.

Grumpy heroes of contemporary romance

slow burns, where kisses and slight touches are celebrated and the tension is HIGH.

leave some recs in the comments please, i am always looking to expand 🫶

literally what the title says, which is a trope i find myself actually enjoy (if done right) of an asshole, rude, grumpy MMCs that has their reason for being so and who i still love despite their asshole-ness

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

my favorite books of all time
