Recs if you like The Soulmate Equation...

for when you need to juggle acting normal, giving in to your bodys reaction, and not giving yourself away 😈

getting a boner in a public space just at the thought of someone, unexpected sexy time at a restaurant, public remote play, getting aroused when you know its wrong, a brush of a hand or a butt and oops! im horny: all of these plus more!

the aim of the game is dont let anyone ✨know✨

This handpicked list brings back the heart-fluttering nostalgia of early-2000s rom-coms-think flirty banter, iconic soundtracks, and heroines with way too much emotional labor but perfect hair. Whether you're nursing a breakup, dodging one, or just craving a little lighthearted love, these movies will deliver serotonin, drama, and maybe even hope. You want that "why don't guys do grand gestures anymore?" energy? This list's got you.

Romance books which just make you feel good while reading them. They have a happy end and good vibes overall. Maybe you enjoy reading them during the summer or when you need a little something to take your mind of things. They don't have very dark topic, though they don't have to be without a little conflict to keep you entertained. Feel free to comment so I can add more recommendations!

Fiction books about women who are smart, capable and really into science.

basically copied from sophynx but with my own personal recs

This book is full of tropes romance loves, and we take them topic by topic, recommending read alikes for everything from grumpy/sunshine, to academic romance, to STEM heroines, to that spicy sex scene that was a delightfully unexpected surprise!

🦸‍♂️Pining Main Characters (8 titles, MANAGED through WAKING UP WITH THE DUKE).

🧑‍🏫Professors (4 titles, PLAYING WITH TROUBE through THE UNREQUITED).

👩‍🔬Stem Heroines (8 titles, THE KISS QUOTIENT through MY FAKE RAKE).

🗣️Great Banter (4 titles, THE VISCOUNT WHO LOVED ME through PLAYING FOR KEEPS).

🔬Microtropes (4 titles, THE POOL BOY through THE WALL OF WINNIPEG AND ME).

Strictly romance first, romance novels. Expect fun banter, laugh out loud moments and ultimate joy, fun and elaborate conceits, feet kicking in the air and giggling vibes. Only books I personally recommend, and I tend to like romcoms where the leads have their own proper adult lives and see some personal growth. This is the best out of over 150! 😎

Recs welcome, especially really good, funny queer and bipoc, asian, global majority authors please 💕

books i’ve read (and liked) that made me feel the cozy calm (or dark grit) of fall

no rhyme or reason, just ✨vibes✨

**i’m including some cozy fantasy/spooky season/fall-occurring books, but this list is also meant to expand beyond those limited sub-genres to include books i think would hit different if read during fall or majorly incorporate elements i associate w fall like mountains/forests, adventures, murder, small towns, seasons of change/hardship, grittiness, dark academia, pirates, etc

Collecting books that would categorise as romance/romantasy/fantasy with prominent romance subplot that booksandlala has rated 4 stars or higher.

Feel free to suggest more books that would fit into this list, correct wrongly added books or suggest improvements to this list ☺️

romances in an academic (not dark academia) or STEM setting

Some amazing romance books with the fake dating trope. Please comment any suggestions I should add!

Books where at least one of the protagonists is a single parent/guardian and they all become one beautiful family

Sometimes there’s a kid and well someone needs to take care of it so I guess that’s us.

Sometimes it's strangers or someone raising a sibling. Sometimes it's a step parent stepping the fuck up. Really anything other than surprise pregnancy. Thats a different list.

Stories about love and family and responsibility that is chosen. Parents aren't always genetic, you know?

I have read and enjoyed all of these books.

millionaires/billionaires with emotional baggage and eyes for just one girl.

Novels about strong women in STEM

As the title says, here are some of the books with male love interests that had me in a chokehold and made me want to marry them instantly. Men I still think about to this day, and that I wish WISH wish could be real.

in book series and standalones + different age demographics

These are all the books in which the romantic relationship between the characters made you want to fall in love yourself ! I am open to recommendations
