The stakes are high and the tension even higher. The romance is unavoidable. This list has a focus where the two MCs are forced to be rivals. M/F romance with a variety of spice levels including YA and closed door so there should be a bit for everyone.
Thanks to the Pagebound Club for helping me compile a list. I haven’t read all these but I absolutely am going to work my way through. Let me know if you have any additional recs to add.
