Recs if you like Mate...

romance books with well endowed MCs and their partner/s thinks it wont fit. spoiler: will it fit? answer is in the title 🙇‍♀️

having a big dick is not always a great thing but we love it when the owner is self-aware and takes care of their partner/s 🫡

big appendage 🤝 small hole

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!

Romantasy books to read to escape reality that AREN’T ACOTAR and Fourth Wing.

for those of us who watched beauty and the beast and saw the beast fight off those wolves and said “please sir may I have some more” this is your more. requirements: at least one isn’t a human open to suggestions!!

there is a sea of audiobook narrators and I know we all have our favorites. I'm starting a series of lists featuring both popular and underrated narrators. consider this the first of many.

let's kick things off with Teddy Hamilton. he does everything romance related, mm romance, shifter romance, alien romance, and more. I tried not to include audible exclusives so that anyone without access to audible can find something from this list.

as always, taking suggestions!!

who doesn’t love a little romantic tension in their kitchen

If we are going to do Qwordy's the Hardest Reading Challenge You'll Ever Do 3.0 - we should probably get some Pagebound badges along the way! I'm specifically going to be adding books from Quests and readalongs that I think matches at least one of these cover prompts: craft, food, motion, biomes/landscapes, animals, weather.

This is a judgement free zone and some of these books weren't my personal fave but they could be yours 🤗

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.

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.

Another icon. Must read everything she writes ALWAYS

sometimes u just gotta read some p0rn with plot amirite
