Recs if you like Scotch on the Rocks...

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!

Books where at least one of the characters have piercings. Where? There! 🍆🍒👅 this list is not limited to humans 😈

is it for pleasure? as an accessory? this list has it all!

For the girls who fight love! These are my favorite spicy recs with couples that hate how attracted they are to each other at first. What some call animosity, I call chemistry!

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.

We're teeing up your piles of summer reads with our quarterly romance roundup! As a reminder, we haven't read most of these books -- but they're the ones toppling our TBR! Books are sorted from June releases at the top of the list to September releases at the bottom.

Romance novels where the MCs are an MF couple that is straight-presenting, but one or both is/are queer

There's nothing wrong with getting to the point 😂 These spicy romances give you a taste of what to expect at the very beginning! I'm talking about a scene within the first 10%. Something always pulls them apart so their relationship can actually develop but it gives you something to hold on to.

You don’t need to be a pet parent to fall for the animal sidekicks that steal the show! 🐾 I grew up surrounded by a pack of dogs, but since I can’t have one with me now, I treasure books that bring all the cuddles, chaos, and heart straight to the page.

Romances that make me want to pack up and move to the Scottish Highlands if I didn't know any better...
