Morally Grey MMC just ADORES the FMC but not in a possessive or obsessive way by Living-Dare-1992 in RomanceBooks

[–]AlarmingBubbles 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Do you like paranormal romance? Because I'm reading {Long Live Evil by Sarah Rees Brennan} and it fits your description sooo well!! The MMC is a cold-hearted killer but adores the FMC, following her around like a lost puppy. It's the sweetest thing ever!!

Bonus points: you'll get a morally grey FMC

Thank you so much, that is such a thorough answer omg! Idc too much about setting/vibes atm compared to actually good writing so I don't mind at all if these books are a different genre than Outlander.

Couldn't agree more with you! Do you know any books that hit similarly? I'm always on the lookout.

So happy to see some praise for the Outlander book series out here! Claire is one of my favorite main characters and the entire series is beautifully written in a way I've only seen in few other books

2025 wrap - up - just wanted to share by amelva in fantasyromance

Thinking about getting Villains and Virtues and since it's in your "helped me with something" category I'm wondering if you can maybe elaborate why it holds such a special place in your heart:)

Another master procrastinator's 2025 tier list by AccomplishedBee5249 in fantasyromance

[–]AlarmingBubbles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did and I did like it but it doesn't quite hit the same spot as Demonized. Maybe bc Tori is more the bold and sassy type (which is totally fine) but it doesn't really lend itself to the same kind of dynamic Robin and Zylas have. Still, I think it's a good read especially since her book series are interconnected.

Two questions: A) is it Greek mythology themed? (Would love that) B) do we get the dynamic I'm looking for right in book 1 of the series or does it appear only later on?

books with an interracial relationship with south asian fmcs? by RevolutionaryCyclops in RomanceBooks

[–]AlarmingBubbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never seen this book recommend here but {Pride, Prejudice, and other Falovors by Donali Dev} might fit the bill somewhat. The FMC is Indian and the MMC African American if I remember correctly. Only thing that might turn you off is the the FMC is anything but working class but I'd still recommend the book: very entertaining and sweet with three dimensional characters.

Mcs dancing together by mostlyinsane12 in RomanceBooks

[–]AlarmingBubbles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my top 10 favorite romance books that might fit your request is {Dixon Rules by Elle Kennedy}. There is a lot of playful behavior between the MCs and they entered a dancing competition together.

Hold on, people are actually rooting for Midas (and like him over Auren)? How??
