rise & grind
romance books featuring scenes of dry humping / grinding / frottage ⛓️ if you thought this list has anything to do with coffee or getting money, i apologise (kinda)
dry humping as foreplay can be hotter than penetration and these MCs live up to it. bonus points if they get caught or have to stop before things go further 🎠 so, jump on and take a (dry) ride, things are about to heat up (and possibly get wet)

you get me 🤝🏼
Ah yesss the art of dry humping finally getting some recognition and love in this barbaric foreplay ignorant world ☔ We love to see ittt
“this barbaric foreplay ignorant world” is what keeps me going 😅
105 book long lists is crazy work, I love to see it
more common than i thought and i can’t wait to read more of these books 🤸
Just out of curiosity, how many have you read, and do you have a favorite??
only 5 🫣🫣🫣 my fav dry humping scene would be in Before We Came. favourite overall, maybe The Roommate. but i have a lot of titles here on my tbr/interested 👀
Ok! Added those two to my tbr 🙂↕️
Just did a count and realized I’ve read 16 of these titles, and have 10+ already on my TBR/interested lists. Well, then. 👀
i just KNEW a lot of these titles were right up your alley ! any favourites??
All hail the glory & friction of another burntsunflowers list 🙌🏼
glory and FRICTION!!!!!! im blushing
All these lists and that’s what gets you to blush? Noted 👻
i blush easily, don’t hold it against me 🫣🫣
With all you do for us freaks, I’d never hold anything against you- unless you asked nicely 💜
Its how heated rivalry hung over i am that my mind immediately played that scene from ep2 😩😩🥵
mind if i…bump this to your timeline 🥺👉👈
The way I thought this list was going to be about entrepreneurship and hustling 😂
updating the description! 🏃💨
i love your lists so much. the titles always make me laugh and i have a hard time not saving all of them for...research purposes

I'm not sure why but I always have, in the very least, a 50% overlap with these lists 🤷♀️🤭.
that’s cause you have exquisite taste and a refined palate 😇
I knew, BC this was your list, that this was not for the productivity finance bros. But I do wonder if any one of those stumbled on this...
if they did then they should make themselves known 🗣️🗣️
Frottage you say?? If you’re open to non-humans, there’s a hot frotting scene in Clean Finish by Lily Mayne, she has a lot of frotting scenes in her books
Damn, you had me at non-humans. 💀
I’ve been looking at the Monster Lovers Quest to be my next one to try for. 🫣 So I might start off with this and move there.
I read A Soul To Keep earlier this year and never turned back
Clean 📝 Finish 📝 A Soul 📝 to Keep 📝 Right rightttt— I’m hanging on all your words right now. 🧎🏻♀️
I would like to humbly submit Nightshade if you’re taking additions (a shout out for Alex’s rugby shorts putting in work) 🙂↕️ Edit: And as usual, thank you for your 10/10 work 🙏
🫶🫶🫶 ty, added!
No ☕️ prep here… although those bits and pieces will get a workout 😂 I was wondering what your brilliant mind would come up with next? A very impressive list, my dear! 😘
thanks catherine!! 🫶🫶 took a break from lists cause of work and lack of creativity. working on more content coming 🔜
I’ll trade you Beneath the Surface by Becca Steele and Rocked Bayou by Erin Nichols 🙂↕️🤝🃏
accepted 🙇♀️🤝🃏
I'm taking it personally how there's only a 12% overlap i have with this list. Will have to remedy that immediately 🏇
yesyesyes!!!
