Recs if you like Sin and Ink (Sweetest Taboo, #1)...

Sixty-nine (that’s right, 69, by pure unplanned luck!) recommendations for you — everything from bonkers to bloody to blazing hot…naughty bits that we believe deliver the whole banana (and sometimes no banana at all, if you know what we mean). If you're looking for something specific (or trying to avoid it), you can find this list with subcategories on our site.

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!

Save a shirtless, bare-chested man! Each one is in dire need of a shirt! 👕 Those covers of romance novels are not very warm, although under the covers, it could be hot. Steaming, in fact. Maybe even scorching. 🥵❤️‍🔥

(Other editions exist where the book cover has a shirtless man, but this list only includes those shirtless on PB. ) Enjoy! 😉

We’re talking widows of all shapes and sizes…from virgin widows who murder their husbands in old school historicals to modern-day widows who are looking for love because they know how good it can be.
