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

The first half of this list is more romance-leaning. The second half is more erotica-leaning.

Contemporary romances featuring different levels of BDSM or Kink, always check the tiggers!

Romance books were one of the mc (most often fmc) struggles with eating and the love interest helps. Some feature ED rep, others trauma, depression, etc. Often features the caretaking trope 🫂.

FMC that has gone through it and is scared, vulnerable, painfully shy. Books with PTSD representation and a fair amount of trauma healing.

Books that (if you have functioning tear ducts) leave you crying. Stories that feel hopeless and dark.

Warning; not all have a HEA (and there's one non-romance, My Dark Vanessa).
