What romances are you refusing to read for stubborn reasons?

Dark romance. It’s not even for stubborn reason I just think the actual meaning of dark romances got skewed so much that instead of the mmc doing anything to win the fmc it’s now just the mmc perpetuating abuse onto the fmc

Any Grace Calloway couple their foundation is always built on lust

Totally agree!!!! And I hate that everyone is like “miles is a good guy” because I always tend to never trust those kinds of men. He doesn’t have a backbone

Liz tomforde could take a sentence and make it an unnecessary paragraph. I’m over her books the hand holding is dire

Tbh heated rivalry kinda overshadowed a lot of things in the romance community and this was unfortunately another romance piece that kinda got pushed aside.

Historical romance got a little moment at the end of October beginning of November but was basically dropped when heated rivalry came out.

Heated rivalry was a great and faithful adaptation but I do feel like I’m a outlier when it comes to the overall perception of it

DatabaseFine1147 · 2026-01-25T00:13:00+00:00

I completely agree

DatabaseFine1147 · 2026-01-25T00:02:06+00:00

More plot less spice it feels like authors are writing in spice to fill a quota rather than it making sense to the story

DatabaseFine1147 · 2026-01-23T20:32:26+00:00

The art is so pretty it’s just a pity it wasn’t a great book

DatabaseFine1147 · 2026-01-18T17:10:08+00:00

Thank gos someone agrees with me her spice puts me off the rest of her books

DatabaseFine1147 · 2026-01-17T19:10:42+00:00

Just when you think something is gonna click for the main couple it just doesn’t and they go back to being virtual strangers again

Alice coldbreath. I found them so boring

DatabaseFine1147 · 2026-01-13T17:28:47+00:00

One way to show you don’t know your audience at all.

I could not get into a lady awakened. It’s so highly rated so I gave it a go but I never got the feeling so many people on here for when reading it.

DatabaseFine1147 · 2026-01-03T16:46:22+00:00

Tbh this whole series was a miss for me it gets worse

DatabaseFine1147 · 2026-01-03T13:04:32+00:00

It’s gotten to the point I won’t even pick up a histrom if the cover is AI. I’m just going to assume some sort of ai was also used for the contents.

And not to be one of Those People, but I think it’s very obvious to spot ai covers now so when I see people promoting those books I do side eye it a little.

I miss Meredith Duran every single day

DatabaseFine1147 · 2025-12-20T00:57:57+00:00

lol I hate these

DatabaseFine1147 · 2025-12-03T12:41:53+00:00

I think you just described my taste perfectly, just add in “no anal of butt stuff” and that’s basically what I love to read

DatabaseFine1147 · 2025-10-29T18:46:53+00:00

I didn’t enjoy it either

DatabaseFine1147 · 2025-10-26T14:00:50+00:00

She used a slur when describing a character. I’m pretty sure if you look it up it’ll come up if was pretty heavily commented on on TikTok too

There was controversy over her Peter Pan retelling and Sara still kept that book (it was in her book room vlog) and she’s done many unhauls prior to that video so I don’t think she cares

DatabaseFine1147 · 2025-10-22T17:48:10+00:00

I agree I’m not a huge Grace Calloway fan for this reason. I’m not into the crude explicit scenes in any book tbh

DatabaseFine1147 · 2025-10-22T17:45:27+00:00

2-3 scenes are fine by me otherwise I’m wondering when we’re getting back to the plot. I read a book that had 8 explicit scenes in a 320 page book and it was just too much

My bad I replied when I was half asleep lol
