Recs if you like Halfling...

Unsullied. Undefiled. Uninitiated. Untouched. Chaste. Pure. While the tired trope of virginal and inexperienced women abounds, particularly in historical romance but even in contemporary works, virginal men are much less common. With stories that can be refreshing and joyful, or not (lol), this list brings together heroes who’ve done little more than kiss. (Some of them haven’t even done that.) All romance sub-genres are included, except YA.

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 ♻️

Monster, Mermen, Alien, Entity, Demons, Vampires, Wolf, Orc, ect.

Horror, Fantasy, Romance, and Smut.

Straight & queer

Standalone & series Only first books in series were added because why would you read a second book if you didn't like the first.

inspired by a post about how tall Dr. Carlsen (The Love Hypothesis) is, here’s a list of canonically tall characters, some may not be human😈

as always, taking any & all suggestions!

Nothing better than a quick standalone romance between something long and serious 😏 In other words, if you’re already committed to six series but still need more excitement in your life 🤭

If you simply prefer to spend every night with another magical being that’s perfectly fine too 🤭💖

Romantasy standalones from YA to Dark Romance

A collection of Monster Romance novels for anyone who wants to broaden their romantic horizons. This list is LGBTQ+ 🌈 inclusive and includes varying levels of open-door spice 🌶

Please feel free to suggest additions! Im always looking to find new MR authors ✨️

bodyguards, knights & royal guards

Romances with Vikings, Barbarians, Berserkers and other warlords as the mmc.

Books where he maybe…invades her country, is a feared warlord in their armies, is given to him as a warprize, or she is put into an arranged marriage with him as part of a alliance or peace negotiations…or maybe he is a alien race that actually goes beserk when he’s angry 🤷‍♀️.

Curious on starting monster romance? Dip your toes in these books! PSA: if it's a series, only book 1 will be added unless it can be read as standalones

The virgin trope is so 2006... unless he's the one who is inexperienced hehehe. My favorite: "Come in with the rain" by B. Randall. Let me know if you have any recs!

Books where the story is brought to another level by the character development, be it in the complex character building or the multi layered character arc. The writer made the characters like facets, every angle and every relation gives them yet another aspect to further deepen the dynamic between characters. Every little bit of past revealed shows us the way they became who they are now. Leaving us with characters arcs that feel like an entire story on their own that impacts the greater plot.

Monster and cryptic romance, with some aliens sprinkled in.

Monster Smut that is more than just sex

Thick girls in romantasy & fantasy. Because we deserve to be swooned too!

“Ma'am, this clearly states you are only authorized to ride an Orc. You were going 90 in a 45 on a Minotaur.”

I fear your sheer determination to get your rocks off

This list will be ongoing

ghouls, dragons, minotaurs and the lot.
