Recs if you like Tourist Season...

diamonds? never heard of her. these books feature all things hand(s) on neck romance—choking, breath play, asserting dominance—all in the name of pleasure !

your neck 🤝 their hand(s)

but the jury is out on the actions of their brat tamer🧎‍♂️‍➡️are we in an elevator cause these MCs are ready to push all the buttons for a crumb of punishment in return 🙂‍↕️ the way they run their mouth you would think they were in a marathon 🏃

being told to watch your mouth is a challenge, not a threat—don’t forget that 😌

Thanks to Madhoney for giving me the title. These are some of the books I love where women decide to rid the world of scum in creative and not so gentle ways.

Stories that feature DC, Maryland, or Virginia. (Statehood for DC!)

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? 🙂‍↕️

all things summer and horror from slashers to summer camp and your favorite local faire.

cozy no commitment reads for spooky season!

A little bit funny, a little bit stabby

A list where the MC is in denial about something at some point, and we'd probably all be better off if they just admitted it !

This is based on my take of the MCs, but I'm open to critique and discussion about the books chosen to be part of the list, and always open to suggestions.

I'd also like to note that, although we might judge a little, we do not shame people who are in denial, nor dismiss whatever hardships they're going through.

A list of rom-coms with a twist and a shit ton of trigger warnings.

P.S. any recs are highly appreciated

When books turn knotty naughty and one of the characters gets tied up. 🤭😏 ‘Cause I might be bad, but I’m perfectly good at it… 🎶 Nothing like some bondage scene to spice things up. From shibari to handcuffs, from tentacles to cowboys who really know how to use a lasso, and wether the FMC or MMC is the one restrained, there is a little bit of everything in here.

I haven’t read every book here, so please correct me if I am wrong somewhere. Suggestions are always very welcum 💦

A list of ”diet dark” books / dark rom-coms! I’m currently obsessed with these types of books!!!

Get on the hype train for these upcoming releases of books in a series. Now is the perfect time to jump on board a new series or start a re-read.

Covers the next 12 months. Updates once a month - please send recs

Change to list view and sort by author for easier browsing.

I will list the first book in the series and the upcoming book. I'm not including series from romances where it's hard to tell if the books are standalone or not (for my health🙃).

(I'm already questioning my sanity on how I'm going to maintain this, I wish we could make collaborative lists on here 😭)

Because I’m Sleep Token-obsessed. WORSHIP.

(Please give me titles that apply in the comments!)

For the girls who fight love! These are my favorite spicy recs with couples that hate how attracted they are to each other at first. What some call animosity, I call chemistry!

Want to start reading dark romance but unsure which book to start? These are good starters before diving into more darker themes!
