Recs if you like Business or Pleasure...

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)

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.

A collection of FemDom romances that I read and more or less enjoyed. This includes books with a 'switch' dynamic or where both mcs take turns domming, bc pickings are slim. Bonus points for men begging 🧎‍♂️, rope crafts 🪢, hungy men 👅, toys, edging/chastity, voyerism/exhibition 👀 ect. This does also include wlw romances, not just sub guys. Please check the trigger and content warnings on all of these!

I almost exclusively listen to books on audio these days, and these are my absolute favorites.

I enjoy all the books I've read from these authors, but I haven't made it through their full catalog yet
