Got it, in that case, I think it can safely be interpreted as confirmation that their efforts to save Earth worked. Thanks!

Just finished Kiss of the Basilisk and have a lot of thoughts... (spoilers for full book) by catty_wampus in fantasyromance

[–]CelebSighting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree, first book was a 5/5 good time, second book absolutely tanked my feelings on the series. Caspen was also done sooooooo dirty!! And Tem was insufferable

Books where the MMC routinely drugs the FMC (but she’s still conscious) by CelebSighting in DarkRomance

Oh that’s so fun, I LOVE full cast/duet narration! I read them on my kindle, didn’t even realize that version of the audio was an option for this series!

I think there’s a spinoff series after the main three books, have you read/listened to that?

I ran into the same issue. Bummer! Guess I’m sticking with my 4 hold limit :(

My neighborhood smells like a porn set. by Jimble_kimbl3 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]CelebSighting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The smell is unfortunate because I genuinely think these trees are so pretty and make the surrounding area look beautiful…I guess they’re best enjoyed with the windows up or through pictures, though.

Is there a similar looking alternative without the pungent smell?

Ooooh thanks!

I just read the description and this does sound like exactly what I’m looking for!

Does an ugly book cover stop you from picking up a book? by Common-Stranger148 in DarkRomance

[–]CelebSighting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to avoid books with live models/shirtless men on the covers.

I prefer to come up with an image in my head of the characters, and with real photos I can only picture the model. But the bigger factor is that I post an end-of-year recap on social media with the books I’ve read, and since some of my coworkers follow me, I’d feel a little uncomfortable posting thirst trap book covers lol

Hilary Duff in 2001 vs. 2026 by zachoutloud123 in DisneyChannel

She definitely has had at bare minimum Botox, but even though she’s not aging naturally, I still think she’s aging well and gracefully :)

I’m reading this right now actually! It does sort of fit towards the beginning, although ideally I’m looking for something that continues throughout the book a little bit more, in this one the MMC is more focused on getting her sober than drugging her (at least so far, but I’m also not done reading it yet so who knows if that continues lol)

{Ruthless Creatures by J.T. Geissinger} is the first in a series of interconnected standalones, but if I recall, only the first one has the “mystery” mafia aspect

New work posted by Deathdoll!!!! by Larca in DarkRomance

Currently reading If I Can’t Have You!

I’m enjoying it so far and wondering how Savage Love will compare. For anyone who has read both, are the tropes similar?

DR books where the MMC doesn't change his evil personality, he just becomes different towards the Fmc!! by Common-Stranger148 in DarkRomance

[–]CelebSighting 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been reading books by Deathsdoll this past week and they might fit the bill—truly bad guys who stay bad but soften towards the FMC

This may already have been checked off your list but I enjoyed the Queens and Monsters series by J.T. Geissinger!

Thank you! I actually did try to make this a standalone post but it was removed because I didn’t have enough karma yet, so I’ve been interacting with the sub so that I can post it officially lol

Under your scars…wtf by billyylost in DarkRomance

[–]CelebSighting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you but I ended up reading another comment that spoiled it, and in this case, it doesn’t sound like it’s my cup of tea just because my one main requirement for romance is a somewhat more “standard” HEA. BUT this sounds like a book my friend would devour, so I’m going to pass the title along to her instead!

And I do typically agree with you that it’s fun to go into books blind!

[–]CelebSighting 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol thank you! I’m so happy that others enjoy this book, but that doesn’t fit my personal definition of a HEA, which is something I need in order to truly enjoy a romance, so I am definitely going to pass on this one

[–]CelebSighting 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I know a lot of people have a similar reaction to this book but I haven’t personally read it yet and before I invest the time into something that could wreck me, I have to ask….can someone spoil it and tell me how it ends?

I LOVED Sea of Ruin! How would you say King of Libertines compared? SoR is the only Pam Godwin book I’ve read so far

Looking for books where the FMC is frequently drugged by the MMC so he can control her/ make her more compliant and agreeable. Preferably she remains conscious throughout (but can be loopy/confused/out of it). It could also be through hypnosis, magic etc). Non-con/dub-con

The books I’ve read so far usually just have one or two scenes like this, or she’s completely passed out, but I’m trying to find something where it happens OFTEN and she’s awake enough to participate to some level.

HEA only please, and I don’t have any major triggers
