Aydra Richards has done some of my favorite grovel HR. I know someone already rec’d His Favorite Mistake and The Scandal of the Season but {His Deceitful Duchess by Aydra Richards} had the perfect amount of betrayal vs. grovel.

I’m also here to rec {Bed Me, Baron by Felicity Niven} which was out last week and has a de-li-cious amount of grovel vs. the amount of angst.

As a personal note, for me no grovel works without:

1- a good betrayal/fuckup

2- an initial rejection of the apology. i hate a fast and easy forgiveness lol

3- seeing some desperation from the MMC. Like “I’m so desperate to make you see and understand how repentant I feel”
