A little of this...
Me trying to like this list repeatedly š 
i sure hope there arenāt any bugs that bite >:))))
waiting for this to happen to me like:
Everything I tried to respond to this with sounded like a threat š«
oh yeah??? š
āYour time will comeā
āLeave your windows openā
And so forth
For somnophilia, definitely throw in Morgan B Leeās Cursed Legacies series, starting with Blood Oath. Nightmare Prince gets up to some nasty sleep shenanigans inside and outside the FMCās dreams š±š½ļøš¦
Also, if you want some erotic insomniac horror, you can let Sleep Study by Magnus Thorne slither into this list. Might not quite fit the brief, but wanted to share anyway. š
š
you know im surprised this hasnt been made into a list until now! šāāļøšāāļø
There are some A.R Taboo that has them but i don't recall which ones aside from Feral Mate šāāļø
Technically Haunting Adeline by H.D Carlton uhh i think Eclipse of the Crown (Book 3) by A.K Caggiano
and dont hate me... Keeping Her Under by Miranda Grant (not that I have read it...yet)
Oh dang that Keeping her Under is DARK!
Where would one find books by AR Taboo exactly?
cough cough cough i had to do some digging into the land southern seas where i met pirates there
Dead of Summer by AJ Merlin has somnophilia. Didnāt really like this book though š„²
Fair. I donāt add books that I hated either
Omg I forgot about this book!! Yeah I didnt like it either, Iām surprised it has the rating that it does lol I wanna say something but donāt want to give anything away. š¬š
Yeah same! I feel like it had potential and there were even a few things I liked but overall it was just disappointing.
Like the whole reason he showed up??? And the fmc stILL FELL FOR HIM HELLO??? R U WELL??? Weāre just supposed to forget what he was originally planning to do? š And then the random villain at the end? Like you said there were some good moments, but the bad def out weighed the good.
Oh yeah it was definitely more bad than good! I could go on a whole rant about that lol
Yooooo as an uber-tired-eldest-daughter-elder-millenial SIGN ME THE FUCK UP!!!! š“ššš„µ
Ah yes you can?? Hello šš«¶
Unhinged by Onley James have some light somno
You know what I read this but couldn't quite remember if it was in there...Thank you!
YW š
Love me some somnooooo and I haven't read nearly enough of it! I've been slowly adding to my kink: somnophilia š¤ shelf and you're more than welcome to pull from it for your list. c:
Whoa! I just checked out your shelves. Thank you- theyāre beautiful!
Donāt mind if I do
Idk how I missed this list until now. If youāre still adding, here are some with heavier somnophilia /parasomnia: Arranās Obsession by Jolie Vines Connorās Claim by Jolie Vines (Riordanās Revenge has only 1 scene, so. Naturally not my fave of that series.)
Lords of Pain by Angel Lawson (i believe all 3 in the series)
Used by the Headmaster by Flora Foxglove (sex parasomnia is the whole premise)
Revelations by Rebecca Rathe
Always adding!
I have a shelf, but havenāt read all the books in that one. I kinda put them in holding until i read and confirm at least one scene lol
Yes you may interest me in this
This is how I know Iām in the right place when I see this list and all comments are people I follow š¤
which one of these is someone being put to sleep because they're fatigued & burntout and then getting a lil bonus something ... i might be a lil interested š
I would say Primal Urges! Sheās an overworked lawyer who just needs a break and heās the computer hacker virgin whoās obsessed with her
Great list š I'd say Catcher's Lock would fit, no? Also Wicked Little Darling by Lyla Dane, for parasomnia
Oh yes! Good catch š
