Recs if you like Left of Forever...

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)

save a horse, ride a face, or whatever. death by puswa is very much encouraged in these titles. these MCs really ate 🤤

grab the headboard and dont hover, 𝓈𝒾𝓉 🐒

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!

greatly inspired by @beanchambers on tiktok

feel free to suggest books in the comments!

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🥤

splish, splash, splosh, this water is about to slosh 💦 shower, bath, pool, hot tub, ocean scenes where water is used as an aid for heat, buoyancy, assistance, 𝒻𝑒𝒶𝓇 (im looking at you ms carlton 🦈), and just general ✨vibes✨

in these steamy titles, the water should make you clean but you end up dirtier than when you entered, and we’re here for it 🛁

save water, shower together ♻️

this list has romance titles featuring those that want to explore the beauty of nature while also getting railed against a tree, by a waterfall, in a tent ⛺️ there are no comfortable surfaces here, just becumming one with their outdoor surroundings 🍃

theres no time to waste, just stop, drop and bone 🙂‍↕️

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? 🙂‍↕️

books where the man has so much patience it'll make you question your self control

There's a lot to be said about your 20s, but life afterwards is just as sweet! Here is a list of books where the FMC is age 30+ so you can enjoy a little more maturity and a totally different POV on life. This one is dedicated to my fellow millennials 🫶 I'll update as I continue to read. Please share any suggestions you have for our friends in the comments.

cozy no commitment reads for spooky season!

Romance books where the MMC has a mustache. Mustache rides may or may not be included 🤭

i hope that you absolutely CONQUER this list and have fun while doing so☺️

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.

Firefighter Romances Suggestions welcome! :)

Nearly 50 books coming out in the next three months that we're excited to read.

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!!!

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.

Let's gather all the no 3rd act breakup romance books we can. I want them to show us that even if they fight they'll work through it together🥹💗✨ feel free to give me more books to add to the list.
