Recs if you like Fifty Shades of Grey...
๐ฉHe is not the love of your life๐ฉ
"He is literally just a guy. Hit him with your car."
AKA, a selection of "book boyfriends" that actually suck. Featuring red flags ranging from an emotionally unavailable Irish lad to a man who locks up his wife in an attic.
Recommendations welcome. No judgment if you enjoy these books; this list was inspired by my own obsession with Heathcliff, toxic lover extraordinaire, as a teen.

POV: youโre at a thrift store
Books you will find on any given thrift store shelf in the US, for better or worse ๐ For books in a series or by prolific authors, Iโve only included one book so as not to overwhelm the list.
Suggestions welcome!
I think it goes without saying but just in caseโฆ Iโm not necessarily recommending these books by having them on this list. (In fact I wouldnโt recommend many of these.) This is for fun!

Itโs (hand)cuffing season
When books turn knotty naughty and one of the characters gets tied up. ๐คญ๐
โCause I might be bad, but Iโm perfectly good at itโฆ ๐ถ
Nothing like some bondage scene to spice things up. From shibari to handcuffs, from tentacles to cowboys who really know how to use a lasso, and wether the FMC or MMC is the one restrained, there is a little bit of everything in here.
I havenโt read every book here, so please correct me if I am wrong somewhere. Suggestions are always very welcum ๐ฆ
