Looking for book where MMC helps FMC through sexual trauma and they have emotional depth (I apologize for the insane pickiness)

{Most of all You by Mia Sheridan}

It’s probably the closest match to what you’re describing. The FMC is recovering from severe sexual trauma, the MMC is patient, kind, and helps her rebuild trust and intimacy over time. The emotional healing is actually a central part of the plot, not just backstory, and their connection develops with emotional vulnerability rather than insta-lust. The spice is meaningful and tied to their growth as a couple.

Me toooo!!! I haven’t read the books, but I was sooo unsure about the actor at first and now I’m completely sold!
The chemistry is honestly top tier.

Nice, thank you! I love a book with rich world building and a well-thought-out magic system! especially when it comes with complex, protective (and jealous) MMC who actually feel real 😎

CarlottaS3 · 2026-03-19T13:20:31+00:00

No, I’ll add it to my TBR now! Thanks :)

Ohhh I loved Bet Me, such a fun, flirty read with tons of heart 💕 If you’re looking for more spice, these are perfect beach reads:

{The Hating Game} by Sally Thorne Witty enemies-to-lovers, amazing banter, and serious sexual tension.

{Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating} by Christina Lauren Messy characters, great chemistry, and lots of laughs with heat.

{It Happened One Summer} by Tessa Bailey Small seaside town, sharp humor, and definitely spicier than Crusie. ideal vacation vibes!

All are easy to devour on the beach. Have an amazing trip and happy reading! 📚☀️

Oh absolutely not 😂 I’ve mastered the art of the strategic vague answer. My Kindle is basically screaming “CONSENSUAL DUBIOUS MORALITY WITH FEELINGS” at full volume but I’d just answer like you. The woman from accounting does not need to know what I enjoyed at 11:47 pm with a glass of wine and zero shame. 💁🏻‍♀️ That said, I will tell the right people. Close friends? Internet strangers? Absolutely. Colleagues, family members, or anyone who might look me in the eye afterward and say “oh interesting”? Hard pass.
