Recs if you like Play With Me...

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!

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.

🫵 𝑔𝑜 𝒻𝓊𝒸𝓀 𝓎𝑜𝓊𝓇𝓈𝑒𝓁𝒻! 🫵 😇 gladly 😇

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

howdy, neighbour 👋 this type of forced proximity hits different when you physically cant escape the person next door.

apartment neighbours: sharing a wall and they can hear 𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇𝓎𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑔 🏢

house neighbours: seeing them when you walk outside or catching a sneak peak through your window 🏠

time to decide if you’re ready to give your spare key to the hottie next door 🔑

romance books that use toys to heighten pleasure - solo or with a partner(s). dildos, vibrators, and some sprinkling of unconventional items 🥵 no cacti allowed

This is a list of books that contain no third act breakup. This list is not finished and I plan on adding more books whenever I have the time! But please keep in mind that I have not personally read all these books but as far as I know they do not contain a third act breakup but please let me know if there are books that do not fit or if you have any suggestions! Have a wonderful day besties ❤📚

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.

Fast skates, hard hits, and even harder falls—in love. Dive into these hockey romances packed with passion, tension, and heart-melting moments.

How not to love these

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 🏳‍🌈

I read one hockey romance and now here we are.

Hockey Romance!

while I do always love the OG man, sequel men are just superior

I wish I had an older brother so that I could have this trope in real life; it's just so good, especially since it's always forbidden or kept a secret from the brother (which makes it so much juicer when he finds out)

All books about ice hockey and falling in love

so he’s hot AND wears a jersey???

Hockey romances!

Go sports! Kick a home run, shoot the touchdown, and score a basket or whatever they do.
