Recs if you like Give Me Butterflies...

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)

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!

You know what this is

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!

#womeninSTEM #fuckthepatriarchy

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.

Spicy romance books with cute, illustrated covers that don't look nearly as spicy as they are 🌸

This list is based on the covers featured here, so it may be a little biased. Recommendations are welcome!💌

NB: Includes different spice levels and some LGBTQ+ romances❤️‍🔥

Fiction books about women who are smart, capable and really into science.

academic romance, stem romance, or rivals to lovers with degrees (always open to recs!)

Otherwise worth-reading books where somebody (probably the MMC) has a weird, supposedly endearing nickname for somebody else (probably the FMC) that should be a way bigger ick/red flag than they're taking it as.

(Mostly some recently read books of mine so far. I’m trying to cope.)

Please cathartically submit recc’s and share said nicknames that gave you second hand embarrassment

Did someone say daddy issues?

Single Dad or Mom

Even though he's someone else's father, he can be your daddy too.

Romances that feature nerdy men, women or couples.

Open to recs in the comments ❤️

More focuses on skills/knowledge/academic nerdiness, will make another list for more geeky fandom-esque stuff.

romances in an academic (not dark academia) or STEM setting
