Recs if you like Before We Came ...

romance books featuring scenes of dry humping / grinding / frottage ⛓️ if you thought this list has anything to do with coffee or getting money, i apologise (kinda)

dry humping as foreplay can be hotter than penetration and these MCs live up to it. bonus points if they get caught or have to stop before things go further 🎠 so, jump on and take a (dry) ride, things are about to heat up (and possibly get wet)

hey google, play slumber party by ashnikko 🍽️ romance books with cunnilingus 👅 any and all positions welcome! bonus points if she is restrained or she is getting eaten out for the first time.

to all the MMCs, let’s hope you can find the clit to all the FMCs, i already know y’all 𝒶𝓉𝑒

🙂‍↕️ when in doubt, eat her out 🙂‍↕️

romance books with reflective surface scenes where they watch themselves or each other 👀

PSA: the “dirty” in the title is not intended to have a negative connotation, but instead be a play on words; this is a safe space 🫂

theres a mirror joke here somewhere but i cant see it — apologies to vampires everywhere.

romance books with particular interest in the MC saying iterations of “good girl” (kneeling is encouraged) - praise kink is explored in some titles.

these characters want to please their love interests by listening and following instructions. best paired with a good girl doing 𝒷𝒶𝒹 things.

this list is for those that were A+, teachers pet students and are now adults that want to be told they are doing a good job in the bedroom ⭐️ this list is NOT in reference to animals

men raw dogging with no protection. the leads either consciously decide they want to have unprotected sex (bonus points if they tell each other they got tested and are clean), they dont have a condom available, or they 𝒻𝑜𝓇𝑔𝑒𝓉 to use one and realise after that they made an oopsie (± pregnancy). pretend STDs/STIs dont exist, ok? 🙂‍↕️

swallow his kids, or whatever 🤧 spunk, seed, semen, nut, cum, load, jizz, cream, ejaculate—whatever you call it, just ensure you swallow, dont spit. no further notes 🤭

chefs, bakers, baristas, chocolatiers—unite! whether you’re a fan of sweet or savoury, these titles are bound to raise the heat in the kitchen (and the bedroom)

grab your Kiss The Chef apron and book a table with these MCs 💋 no idiot sandwiches allowed

They may not talk about their feelings, but apparently they will tattoo them onto their body.

these MCs have trauma they need to work through: parental neglect, absent mother, loss of a parent, emotional / physical / psychological ab*se, divorce. this list may be books that you want to read or those that you want to avoid - whichever applies to you, it’s here nonetheless. bonus points if the MCs partner/s help them work through their trauma.

🚨 please check your triggers 🚨

Have you ever noticed how many books there are with characters named after things you can spot on a hike? Well, here’s a list for you!

Books where at least one MC is named after something you can find on a hike (e.g. Wren, Dahlia, Wolf). Names in books are listed in the comments! I’m excusing the random extra letters or alternate spellings for these lol

please add any suggestions!!!

I have not read all of these - I do have a life

A list full of hockey romance books that range from bad to amazing (in my opinion), all types of tropes will be included!

P.S. I haven't read all of them and this lists contains books ranging from dnf's to rereads

Sometimes I'm a basic b who likes sports romance and there are a lot of hockey romances with many flavours. Hoping for more recs and more queer rep 🏳‍🌈

Full disclaimer I have not read all of these - maybe like half

rough checks on the ice, even rougher in the bedroom 😏 + players who know how to score on and off the ice. stick handling has never been this fun🏒🔥 (as always! let me know if you have any recs to add)

Fun Books Only. It's like watching a romcom vs an oscar winner. Sometimes we read to giggle, okay?

Ice hockey / ice skating romances where the ice is cold, but the feelings aren't

A list of books LarryReads has been sent. A lot of small indie authors. Lots of dark romance
