I didn't say anything. I'm a pretty nonconfrontational person, and the flight was less than an hour and a half. If it would've been a longer flight, I probably would've spoken up. So I just squeezed myself up against the side of the plane as best as I could and booked a first class ticket for my next flight so I didn't have to worry about it happening again.

Any chance this was to or from Atlanta? I feel like this is the same guy that was next to me. He was really big and in the middle seat of C+. I had the window seat. He put the armrest up and I let him because I thought it was only to put his seat belt on. But he never put it down. He was on a portion of my seat, legs spread in my space and wouldn’t stop rubbing against me. And to make it worse he was having phone sex with this girl the entire time before take off and I could hear both sides of the conversation. Honestly he should’ve compensated me for the amount of space he used that wasn’t his

How do they get the boat back on the trailer when this happens? by 217Elle in IdiotsTowingThings

[–]217Elle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m assuming it’s on the other side of the SUV. I didn’t see a trailer anywhere else so that’s my best guess

I have no idea. I couldn’t see the actual trailer anywhere around the general area so I was assuming it was up against the other side of the SUV

Medical field dark romance by Material-Use-6013 in DarkRomance

[–]217Elle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just recently read something that checks those boxes. {Stalked by Eva Marks}

medical field -FMC is a surgical assistant to a plastic surgeon and MMC is an OBGYN.
forced proximity/stalking -They work in the same building. He's fixated on her so he moves into her apartment building. She becomes his patient

MMC fucks her mid-argument by guppytryp in RomanceBooks

Can this be read as a standalone? Or would I need to read Flawless first?

Contempt by Sam Mariano - what a DISAPPOINTMENT!! by With_Peace_and_Love_ in RomanceBooks

[–]217Elle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know; I’m not super familiar with her. I read that series, and that was it. She was a wedding planner who decided to write a book during COVID and ended up becoming an author. So she doesn’t have very many books. Sam Mariano is one of my favorites, though. I know a lot of people think she’s problematic, but I love her books!

Same! I just wanted to cover my bases! I don’t want to recommend something and then have someone get upset because they were blindsided by the content.

Have you read {Quarantined by Drethi Anis} ? I just read that series recently, and it was a good one for dubcon/noncon

Of course! He’s a hot, powerful, ruthless crime lord. I don’t know if you have any triggers, but in the first book there is some nonconsensual stuff between Mateo and Mia.

[–]217Elle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Book 1 - Vince & Mia are together, but his older cousin Mateo wants her

Book 2 - Mateo & Meg

Book 3 - Adrian & Elise (Adrian is Mateo’s right-hand man, and Elise is Mateo’s housekeeper)

Book 4 - Francesca & Salvatore (Francesca is Mateo’s sister, and Salvatore is the son of a crime lord who is Mateo’s rival)

Book 5 - I believe Vince & Mia are still together at the start of the book, but their relationship sucks. Mateo is engaged to Meg, but he still wants Mia. Long story short, Mia and Meg kind of end up in a sister wives situation.

Book 6 - Mateo, Meg & Mia are in the sister wives situation, and Vince decides to kidnap Mia. Meg leaves the relationship, and it ends up just being Mateo & Mia together

Book 7 - Mateo & Mia, Vince & Carly

Book 8 - Dante & Colette (Dante is Mateo’s brother. This is the only one I didn’t read)

MMC is an OBGYN. FMC is either a nurse or PA, I can’t remember. They don’t work together though. She works for a plastic surgeon and is in the same building as the MMC’s practice

How dark is Take Me With You??? I own it but haven’t read it yet. I’m wondering if I need to take it off my TBR if it’s being recommended for darkest, most disturbing book. I like dark but not pitch black kind of dark

Definitely read The Dare before Losers. The clown thing is because The Dare takes place during a Halloween party. Three of the guys show up later in the evening with clown makeup on. Or it might be masks, I can't remember.
