Recs if you like Bitter Heat...

self care romance books in all forms: mutual, solo, IRL, video call, phone, overhearing, walking in on, public space, etc etc.

if you hate the word ‘masturbation’, try: flicking the bean, jerking off, finger banging, rub one out, beat the meat, dj the vj, wanking, jerkin the gherkin, fapping; we can go on for days. whatever you call it, i just hope you reach climax ⛰️ toys encouraged but a hand (or two or three or-) will do just fine.

🫵 𝑔𝑜 𝒻𝓊𝒸𝓀 𝓎𝑜𝓊𝓇𝓈𝑒𝓁𝒻! 🫵 😇 gladly 😇

these books include back-door related action (think plugs, DP, regular anal, rimming, eating out, dildos, some w/ somnophilia). includes MF / MM / RH / MMF

perhaps the gr(ass) really is greener on the other side 🥵

in the cut like a vasectomy, no kiddin’ 🫨 romance books where the procedure occurred before or after the love interest(s) meet. the MMC(s) makes the decision as a form of birth control either after having kids or to prevent having any.

🥤1 order of juice, no seed pls🥤

books with a "that's my wife" scene, either possessive, threatening, jealous or just down bad

Here's a list of dark romance books! It includes mafia romances, to, what I'd consider, just dark romance! It includes all books I've read (whether it's a dnf or a reread) and some that have been on my tbr for some time but seem good! Ps: I won't recommend books that portray themselves as dark romance in excuse to write/romanticise sexual violence or rape, that isn't dark romance, just authors that want an excuse to being weird.

Relationships in crisis, second chance, do over
