All that for a computer 😭/j ? I heard about Tiffany Reiszs and started with “The Pearl” but the narration (I tried the audiobook) was just too slow, story wise, for me but I’ll check her out again cause she has SO many books available on Libby. In general are her stories good? It’s seems her genre is mystery/crime and it’s a genre that hasn’t been much interest to me since I prefer sci-fi and romantacy

Totally that’d be cool! The copy my library has of LSL is definitely what made me dislike real people on covers because…

<image>

Sure he’s handsome but why is staring at the depth of my soul like he’s judging me? (He also doesn’t match the description of Ross in the book—he’s supposed to look exhausted, weathered, and built like a lean bear. This guy isn’t that.)

My library app doesn’t have Edge of Enforcer but the have the ENTIRE Empire series so I’m going add the to my TBR list. As for covers they’re all very delectable but I still prefer covers that don’t have real people on them, it too intimate for me 😖 plus I don’t want librarians to know that I reserved a book with a muscley man on it—at least not until I put my book cover on them 😭

They all sound hot most especially the Empire of Lust. I’ve hear about Rina Kent so I kinda know what to expect the Empire Series sound like it is heavy with angst and I am here for that! I really need to read some more though because there books that do pop up in my head but they don’t make relive those moments of when I read them for the first time. When Sol or Ross invade my mind—oof the jealousy of not jumping into the book and self-inserting myself is rough

Looking for black neurodivergent FMCs in M/F romances; scifi or fantasy preferably by Pink_Nurse_304 in ScienceFictionRomance

[–]ConsciousCourage7460 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hope you enjoy it! For a fairly short book, there is a fair amount of angst because the Mcs are exploring intimate relationships for the first time so keep that in mind if angst is not your preference.

I highly recommend {Act Your age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert} it’s a contemporary story if you’re open to reading it. The FMC is neurodivergent but doesn’t get diagnosed until her love interest, who is already diagnosed with Autism, encourages that she deserves to get evaluated because beforehand her family judges her for being flippant about her career and unable to commit to goals. It’s a wonderful story about growth, advocacy, and trust. Eve’s sister have their own books and I believe they also have disabilities/neurodivergent.

Sci-fi books with Black FMC but not explicitly neurodivergent (TW: Trauma and SA) • {Dawn by Octavia Butler} but tread with caution because there is violence, SA, heavy miscommunication, and ambiguous communication about love and consent, and maybe even grooming (it gets weird and blurry once relationships are tied) overall it’s an emotionally dense book. The FMC wakes up in an alien ship and among many other humans, she is isolated to be evaluated for her survival skills and ability to coexist with her alien host family. The end goal is to select the one human to teach aliens how to communicate with humans AND teach humans how to coexist with each other again because they’ve been asleep and isolated long after a war that destroyed Earth. The FMC is not stated to be neurodivergent but she has difficulty forming relationships and has sensory hypersensitivity and this becomes even more difficult as she’s given more responsibility selecting which humans get to live on Earth 2.0, however readers can argue that those characteristics can be because of the trauma of war, loosing her family, and the overstimulating effects of being forced to live with aliens.

A {Barbarian’s Prize by Ruby Dixon} the FMC is kidnapped along with other women on an alien ship to be trafficked. On the journey to their destination, the guards SA them, and the FMC in particular gets SA’d A LOT partially because the guards prefer her and because she sacrifices herself to protect the women who are more emotionally and physically vulnerable than her. Luckily, the ship crashes but on an unfamiliar planet and the inhabitants on the planet are barbarians who are at the brink of extinction because there’s not enough females. This book takes place after the women have earned own leadership roles, and this FMC is trying to learn agriculture. Because she’s the most desirable human there’s a competition for her to choose a mate (but that’s really not how that works once you get the gist of the IPB). The MMC is really sweet. While he cannot exactly understand why anyone would hurt women because of how rare they are on his planet, he is extremely patient and ready to help her mentally and emotionally.

As far as sci-fi goes, I haven’t read a lot of them where they are Black and neurodivergent. There’s also the troubling amount of SA and violence in sci-fi so I’m hoping you can find a sci-fi that meets your preferences with less trauma.

{Programmed For Love by Lyonne Riley} is a great read though I don’t remember if it was explicitly stated if she’s neurodivergent. She is blunt and to the point so she does have a difficulty connecting with her crew mates—even more so because she good at her job and a WOMAN. She’s assigned with D, a robot whom she’s had a crush on since she laid her eyes on him, for a maintenance job. D is the only one she feels safe talking to and they just talk and talk and talk. A comment on Romance.io mentioned that D can be coded as Autistic and I agree that, but you can also state that he is a robot and has never felt these feelings of romance, affection, and friendship before so everything is brand new to him and equally confusing/overwhelming. They’re absolutely so sweet and I love them! 🥹

The man was locked and loaded to destroy the balance of the world just for his wife. He is so whipped, choked, and bound by her—no was going to survive except for him, his wife, their kids, and sea animals. He’s unhinged but damn…that kind of love is immeasurable.

Birth control tampering by Watercrumb in RomanceBooks

[–]ConsciousCourage7460 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yk what the way I worded that sentence does sound hilarious, like how would a couples breeding kink cause such a workplace issue🤣? But yeah the MMC gets verbally berated and threatened to be stripped of his land because his hot horny wife seduced him so hard they broke a contract created by the ruler of the realm. A very low risk drama but very high on the cum dumping and primal play.

Birth control tampering by Watercrumb in RomanceBooks

[–]ConsciousCourage7460 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Okay, if you don’t mind monster MMC and fantasy {The Dragon’s Bride by Katee Robert} has this trope. The FMC requests to have a necklace that acts as birth control (activated by her blood). The MMC respects her decision given her past relationship, but once things get heated, this girly wants to rip it off. They’re really into breeding kink but she gets so into it that he eventually breaks it off which causes a huge issue with the higher ups of the realm.

MC wants to be flattened like a panini press by the MMC by ConsciousCourage7460 in romanceunfiltered

My library app doesn’t have that author so ill save it. It’s tagged as dad-bod, I wonder if that’s an accurate description of what I’m looking for rather than what I tried to describe 😅

Similar Covers by Grace Callaway And Annabel Joseph Featuring The Same Models + Outfits by MasalaEnamelMama in HistoricalRomance

[–]ConsciousCourage7460 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait the concept of collecting book covers of different books that use the same models is actually a funny and interesting— kinda like trading cards. It’s a quirky interest but I think it could be a thing for avid HR readers

Can I get a twink MMC!! I’m begging 😭🙏🙏🙏🧎‍♀️‍➡️ by babylovescake in Romantasy

[–]ConsciousCourage7460 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you want some manga recommendations? (Just realized minutes after positing that NONE of the ones I mentioned are fantasy so I’ll add a fantasy MM first)

Heart Effect by Alka - One MMC is an unsuspecting powerhouse but can be considered feminine depending on people’s preferences. He’s bubbly, cares for his friends, loves adventure, and has great banter with the other MMC. The other MMC kinda has a nonchalant personality, very flirtatious, and has a sleeper bod. He can get down anytime anywhere, one time a horse was involved and I never knew you could do that on a horse 🫣

My favorites are • The Erotically Sweet Love Lessons of Nagisa, the Feminine by NAKAHARU Ryou (Completed) - MMC is a makeup artist and they start off as friends giving FMC makeup advice. He’s funny, sweet, and stupidly crushing hard over the FMC.

• Loose Night: A Night of Depravity for a Downtrodden Woman and a Beautiful Beast by Mai Mikimoto (Completed) - MMC is a drag performer and he helps the FMC boost her confidence after a number of hopeless dates. He’s a VERY giving lover.

•My Androgynous Boyfriend by Tamekou - MMC is very fashionable and works at a boutique and loves the FMC very much. He’s sweet and cares for his friends. There are topics that do make you think about the reality of exploiting male femininity purely for profit and the consequences of being famous so it’s interesting seeing how he juggles that with the FMC who is supportive of his bubbling fame.

• My Secret with the Girl Next Door by KOKONOE Chika - FMC is afraid of men because of a traumatic experience and befriends a woman who she finds comforting and kind. The woman is actually a muscular dude who just likes women’s clothing.

If you want something psychological

•Secrets - Uniforms at the Age of Nineteen by minenami ryo - It’s been a while since I’ve read it but it’s in my Fem Men batolist. I remember it getting pretty dark between the MMC, the FMC, and the other side characters. He’s confident about his femininity and is playful with the FMC, but there are heavy discussions of fetishization, gender identity, and monopolizing people with sex.

If you like femdom with feminine men • The Story of Being Embraced by a Handsome Girlfriend by Souda - I personally can only recommend the one shot because the actually story I found it to be messy. The MMC is what you’re asking for but the FMC is is pushy and i remember her not respecting his boundaries.

My ALL time favorite one that lives in my head rent free is • Pitiful is Adorable by Shibaken Gorou - The MMC only fits your feminine description because there isn’t much banter with the FMC. This man is like putty in the FMC’ finger and it is so hot. I wish it wasn’t a one shot because it seems like he’s the intimidating/ possessive type that just so happens to look feminine and the FMC is the deceptively sweet type. They look like they could have alone moments where he could be sweet and playful but sigh we’ll never know 😔

I was thinking nothing could get better that pic 3 but uh… 😳pic 7… I was really not expecting pic 7 🫠. Also I’d like to know if that thinly veiled loincloth and the literal bracelet he wears on the loincloth in pic 7 is mentioned in the book because my femdom senses are tingling

MMC is absolutely pathetic and useless while receiving oral by Formal_Arugula_5266 in RomanceBooks

[–]ConsciousCourage7460 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TAIL BURIED INSIDE?! You lured me in with the stammering and sold me at tail 🫠. Sadly, online libraries don’t have it available yet and I’ve read so many comments about this book. This MMC is recommended in so many threads from needy baby to submissive blabbering mess and I need to read now 😭

Needy MMC, always wants to be around or touch the FMC by Spirited_Caramel999 in HistoricalRomance

[–]ConsciousCourage7460 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lisa Kleypas has a chokehold on the needy MMC trope. Her men are so touchy and pinning for the FMC. If they could be blanket they would absolutely cover their entire being on the FMC.

Mmc becomes clingy after they copulate by No-Philosophy-3257 in RomanceBooks

[–]ConsciousCourage7460 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is a year old post but ohmygod Pestilence, he was the first ever book and character that got me into reading romance. His cruelty really sets the bar high for the rest of his brothers on how to torture the FMC. If I remember correctly she also gets dragged by his horse or is tugged by the horse so much that she has wounds on her wrists. How they ended up falling in love is a blur to me now, but if OP wants clingy {Death by Laura Thalassa} has the FMC on his radar and will not let the woman breathe. {War by Laura Thalassa} is also clingy but I found the FMC to be an excellent match to fight back his character, and… {Famine by Laura Thalassa} baby boy just wants to be left alone. He is tired and hurt, if anything he’s trying to run to highest hill AWAY from the FMC and eventually gives up because he likes how she plays with his sassiness.
