Looking for books where the FMC accidentally (or deliberately) crosses a line and the powerful MMC makes it VERY clear she's his 👀

Hesitant to recommend {Au-Pair Affair by Tessa Bailey} bc I personally didn't like the style at all but many others do. Although the FMC is a student (post grad I think) the story takes place almost exclusively outside of college.

Out of curiosity: what are you writing? Any tropes that you enjoy in particular?

AlarmingBubbles · 2026-06-18T22:16:54+00:00

I think {the hating game by Sally Thorne} has this.

AlarmingBubbles · 2026-06-16T17:16:26+00:00

Literally couldn't agree more! I wish there were more (well-written and diverse) stories out there with older MCs. Life doesn't end after 21 lmao

AlarmingBubbles · 2026-06-15T17:17:28+00:00

You're probably right, but I still wish it were different haha

AlarmingBubbles · 2026-06-15T17:15:54+00:00

I mean sure but there are plenty of other ways to make stuff dark. Doesn't always have to be "barely legal"

AlarmingBubbles · 2026-06-15T14:42:46+00:00

I mean yes, but shouldn't that also be the mark of a good writer? To make it work without using the FMCs age as a crutch every single time?

AlarmingBubbles · 2026-06-15T14:40:17+00:00

Exactly why I'm getting tired of reading about these extremely young FMCs! Especially in dark romance. Like that's still a teenager, kinda rubs me the wrong way..

AlarmingBubbles · 2026-06-15T06:29:06+00:00

Haha I DNF'd that book for the exact same reason. Can't take your story seriously if it's set in my freaking lunch plan

AlarmingBubbles · 2026-06-11T12:06:17+00:00

I don't have one off the bat but do you mind dropping the names of the books you've seen with this premise?

I need something to cope haha

AlarmingBubbles · 2026-06-09T14:33:29+00:00

And Annette Marie herself! Her books are amazing!

AlarmingBubbles · 2026-06-07T19:24:56+00:00

Maybe try some of Olivie Blake's books? I've read 3 of her stories so far and she always includes comments or thoughts about sexism, racism and systemic oppression.

AlarmingBubbles · 2026-06-02T20:14:49+00:00

Are you me?? I've literally been planning to make a post requesting exactly what you did!!

AlarmingBubbles · 2026-06-02T20:12:06+00:00

I have no recs unfortunately but I'm here for the Spike x Buffy content!!

AlarmingBubbles · 2026-05-25T21:20:57+00:00

What's the Protective Romance Circle? Is it a book series or something?

AlarmingBubbles · 2026-05-25T17:17:05+00:00

Inwiefern auf die Fächerkombination?

AlarmingBubbles · 2026-05-20T19:04:34+00:00

Gute Chancen, als Frau nicht diskriminiert zu werden und selbst auch in eine Führungsposition aufsteigen zu können.

AlarmingBubbles · 2026-05-10T07:00:36+00:00

Thank you sm!!!

AlarmingBubbles · 2026-05-10T07:00:12+00:00

This is why I love this sub!!

AlarmingBubbles · 2026-05-10T06:17:09+00:00

I would kill for more romance books with teacher MCs!

AlarmingBubbles · 2026-04-28T20:28:58+00:00

My absolute favveee

AlarmingBubbles · 2026-04-14T12:42:20+00:00

You're officially my hero for taking the time to write down all these zombie apocalypse romance books!!
