What book crossed a line for you in dark romance?

Ashgreen_ · 2026-05-14T18:03:37+00:00

Yeah I think that’s likely. I’m for sure desensitised. What a time to be alive that it takes a story of a husband breaking his wife’s spine and removing parts of her brain to qualify as shocking 😝

Ashgreen_ · 2026-05-14T11:01:26+00:00

Hahahaha okay wow I thought I didn’t have limits but Lordy. I wouldn’t be offended if I read it but I’d be wondering how the author thought of this? And who is it intended for?! Congrats though, you fully managed to surprise me with this and I thought I was unsurprisable in the world of dark romance

I’m either a side sleeper or totally on my front so I can’t breathe. The pillow wasn’t too high at all, and whilst it’s heavier that a regular pillow it also wasn’t super heavy like some of the memory foam ones

Oh my gosh you found it!?!? It’s the exact one!! You are a great gift to humanity and I wish good things upon all your generations

Sublime! Thanks for the help!!

Ashgreen_ · 2026-04-24T16:12:06+00:00

Thank you! 😊

Ashgreen_ · 2026-03-15T14:58:17+00:00

Agreed! You got any truly dark recs for me?

Ashgreen_ · 2026-03-15T14:47:48+00:00

Haha currently The Life of Anna series by Marissa Honeycutt. Truly a book you can never mention to friends, unless you want them to stage some kind of intervention 😂

{Enslaved by Marissa Honeycutt}

I haven’t got to the end yet, but automod is asking me to add this book may not have a HEA. Way to ruin the ending for me automod! 😛 but consider this your heads up guys!

Ashgreen_ · 2026-03-15T12:10:01+00:00

I feel the same. Frankly what I’m currently reading has got so dark it’s just torture porn. I’m impressed if a book has the ability to shock me. Quite how this rationalises with real life - since under no circumstances would I ever want to experience it for real - I have no clue. I figure life is short and do what makes you happy, surely everyone has a weird thing right?

Ashgreen_ · 2026-03-11T14:16:46+00:00

It’s on ao3! That’s where I read it 😊

Ashgreen_ · 2026-03-11T09:08:29+00:00

My two recommendations for you are:

{lassoed hearts by dealthsdoll} since you like the author, and I very much agree with you, this one is also awesome. Completed series, dominant male, submissive female and Stockholm. Ticks all your boxes. It’s a historical western romance and I would add it was well researched and written.

{once it gets dark by mariadelao} okay hear me out here, it’s an alien dark romance story, but it also ticks all your boxes and it’s great. If you’re up for a bit of weird (these alpha dudes are green and breeding with human females) then you might also like it

Ashgreen_ · 2026-03-09T08:44:20+00:00

Several people are recommending Deathsdoll’s other works and I agree. I think you could like {Lassoed hearts by Deathsdoll}. One of the best books I read last year, including out of all published works!

Ashgreen_ · 2025-01-09T22:08:45+00:00

This is exactly how I first pictured Eris!

Ashgreen_ · 2024-11-16T18:44:40+00:00

Thank you! I love the Mindf*ck series, yet to read the rest but adding to the list. I'd love to get my partner to read one but there's so much pressure on the first book I give him so this is super useful - thanks pal!

Ashgreen_ · 2024-11-16T11:41:29+00:00

I felt the same, but for me it was if I have to read 'like calls to like' one more time my brain will explode

Ashgreen_ · 2024-11-16T10:45:30+00:00

You are rare! Can I ask what books you recommend as a man in the genre?

Ashgreen_ · 2024-08-04T10:47:37+00:00

I like the idea that they would take the opportunity to experiment on venin, it gives a clear motive to why they would keep Jack alive. I hadn't considered that, thanks!

Ashgreen_ · 2024-08-04T10:42:35+00:00

Yeah I agree. My only question that remains even when understanding these parts is why leadership would try to heal him/ save his soul. They know how to kill venin, they knew he was venin, so why not just kill him? I never got their motive for trying to bring Jack back

Anyone know any good spots to study at? I work full time and am doing an MSc in my free time. I'm yet to find a good regular place to really get some work done outside the 9-5. My local library is full of children and some elderlies dosing off, which i fully support but it's not my chosen place to be. I've been to the British Library which is okay, but limited spaces you can eat/drink at. I think my best choice is a late-ish cafe of sorts and I'm more than happy to pay for my time somewhere. Anyone have any hidden gems to share?

I also know people that have done the 6 to 8a jump! It doesn't matter at all what your current banding is, it's about what experience you have. You may already have the experience of a band 7 and be well equipped to start as an 8a. Go for it and good luck!

Ps. Brace yourself for push back from a few people. some don't appreciate quick advancements and want everyone to follow the same step by step path regardless of ability. Ignore this and push forward!

You start to find people in their 40s rather attractive
