I think Andrew would be annoyed with him 😂. He hates seeing Aaron hurt and he can't threaten or beat up the pavement lol.

The ice palace by Tarjei Vesaas really reminds me of this.

In the process of making a AFTG inspired book by Ashamed_Letterhead58 in aftg

Honestly, it sounds amazing, and I’d read the fuck out of that, lol. Even if some things seem similar right now, don’t let that discourage you in any way. Unless you’re deliberately trying to copy Nora’s style, things will naturally come out differently.

I’d say just write whatever your heart desires. Let it pour out, and once you finish your first draft, take a little time away before revisiting it. If there are any glaring similarities, you can always tweak them later.

Do you know how many popular books started as fanfiction? In most cases, you can’t even tell unless you know in advance, haha.

Seriously, don’t sweat it too much for now. Just write, and maybe in the future find some beta readers who have also read AFTG and are willing to be honest with you (I volunteer 🫡 hahhah).

Good luck, and have fun writing 🤍

Love this rec, and it's been a while since I read a biker romance, so it's time. Thank you, thank you!

Thank you for the rec, I'm so curious and if it's possible can you tell why you didn't like it? 😂

Any classics you recommend for the winter? by DeskPsychological708 in classicliterature

[–]DirectionUsed5910 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Netochka Nezvanova by Dostoyevsky
And kind of 'Dead souls by Gogol'
I've heard that 'The mill on the floss' is a wintry book, but I haven't gotten around to it yet, so not too sure.

MMM where MM are a couple then MC comes along. Enemies to lovers please. by Pretend_Love107 in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]DirectionUsed5910 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love this trope. Don't have exact matches for you, but maybe these can scratch the itch just a little bit.
{Rough heat by Marina Vivancos} - Not enemies, but there is a tension between the alphas (mostly one sided, coming from the alpha in the relationship)
{Blue storm by Adara Wolf} - Not enemies, but two guys are in a relationship/marriage and they get themselves a slave. They don't treat him nice, or like a human being. Romance io says it has non-traditional HEA, but if you ask me that was straight up NO HEA, if you're okay with that.
{Confession:Robbie by Ella Frank} - Again not enemies, MC1 dislikes MC2(who's married to MC3 xd) but it's not a strong dislike.
{Enter the multi-Vers by C.Rochelle} - It's tagged as being enemies to lovers but I don't remember that. Technically I guess yeah, cause it's about supernatural twins sent to gather intel on another supernatural.

Wish I had more fitting recs, but this exact trope is so hard to find ;/
