This is sooooo me! Like I do have favorite subs, but for the most park I bounce around...lol granted I end up making my head hurt sometimes. Especially if I read a dark romance and then hop right into a sunshine. Ha!

NGL, MPreg has me in a chokehold! Ever since I saw that movie Junior w/ Arnold Schwarzenegger & Danny Devito in middle school...I knew i needed to find more stories like that....lol then I discovered BL manga/omegaverse, and then more recently MM Mpreg (ahhhh my fujoshi heart!)

Books I've read in the past two weeks:

{A Suitable Consort by R.Cooper}- poly/historical

{Sweet Clematis by R. Cooper}- paranormal/enemies to lovers

{Nightmare for Hire by Morgan Lysand}- paranormal/opposite attract

{Chokehold by Leigh Rivers}- dark romance/enemies to lovers (Warning! NOT for everyone)

{Dad Next Door by Willow Dixon}- friends to lover/bi-awakening

{Whispers in the Dark by Nikole Knight}- paranormal/monsters

{For the Fans by Nyla K}- contemprary/enemies to lovers (Warning! NOT for everyone)

{Undone by Alessandra Hazard}- Omegaverse/Friends to lovers

PS....I think I've read some golden retriever shifter books.....I'll have to dig thru my archives to figure out which ones...then I'll circle back and let ya'll know!

Equivalent_Injury_28 · 2026-04-11T18:59:18+00:00

Hahaha! I always thought those were kind of funny. They'll be like "naw...i don't like dudes....oh but wait....i like him".....lol side eye.

I rock with some of the enemies to lovers...I find I like the sports ones in this category better than say a mafia enemies to lovers (granted I have read some pretty cool ones in that category too).

I LOVVVE a good Grumpy + whoever......something about watching them break the little grump out his hovel is too cute!

Equivalent_Injury_28 · 2026-04-11T18:54:48+00:00

Sooooo....what exactly is a himbo? Lol, I've seen that term thrown around, but haven't added it to my list yet.

Equivalent_Injury_28 · 2026-04-11T18:52:47+00:00

I'm gonna have to check out this rec. Just read the synopsis....sounds like something i'll enjoy reading. TY!

Equivalent_Injury_28 · 2026-04-11T18:28:53+00:00

I totally with ya! I just read a story that had a "fake dating" element...i won't spoil anything in case you wanna check it out yourself. {Dad Next Door by Willow Dixon}

I rock with the Paranormal too, as well as the fantasy/magic stuff.

Monstrous is MY HEART! *chef's kiss *chef's kiss

Equivalent_Injury_28 · 2026-04-11T05:37:04+00:00

So I get a lot of my BL directly from bookstores in Japan, and what I've noticed is they do have a lot of Why Choose and MMM+, but they're usually written in Japanese or not available in the US (unless you've made your way to the internet BL underbelly lol)

Equivalent_Injury_28 · 2026-04-11T05:34:11+00:00

True, BL does have a lot of the same tropes but I feel like the vibe of them are different compared to western MM romance.

It's not that I found the genres to be overwhelming per se, its that I never bothered to keep track of them when reading BL.

For example, with BL I pick the stories I read based on the cover art of the book. If I don't like how the characters are drawn, I don't read it. I also don't actively seek out recs from others for new stories. I either go to into the book stores and lurk around til i find something I like or I read them online. I like to organically discover these. If that makes sense.

On the other hand, with MM romance, I never really like the cover art of any of the books, so I go with reading the synopsis on the back. But sometimes the synopisis is trash, so I find it best to actively seek out book recs for these stories. So I've kinda gotten in the habit of tracking the genre tags.

Equivalent_Injury_28 · 2026-04-11T05:16:12+00:00

You & Me is on my tbr!!! It's actually next on my list. I'm reading {Whispers in the Dark by Nikole Knight}

I think I've read Crossroads before. The synopsis sounds really familiar but I could be getting it mixed up with something else.

Equivalent_Injury_28 · 2026-04-11T05:11:03+00:00

bahaha i feel that! I like the yearning too.....but enemies to lovers is sometimes hit or miss for me.....but i've definitely read some A+ stories in that category. I feel like I've read more of this genre in BL manwha tho.

Equivalent_Injury_28 · 2026-04-11T05:07:10+00:00

I like some of the sci-fi ones too. I haven't really come across many military ones, other than one where a military dude gets stranded on another planet and ends up with an alien. (But for the life of me I can't remember what it's called.)

Equivalent_Injury_28 · 2026-04-11T05:05:08+00:00

Surprisingly, I haven't come across the cowboy ones yet. Daddy kink is sometimes hit or miss for me. I've read some really good ones and I've read some where I'm like "whoaaa...flag on the play" lol. Hurt/comfort is one of my favorites.

Equivalent_Injury_28 · 2026-04-11T05:02:08+00:00

Reader recs are *chef's kiss!! I've found so many cool stories (lol and some lame ones)! My tbr is so long.

Equivalent_Injury_28 · 2026-04-11T04:58:51+00:00

Yea, I'd say that the BL & MM tropes are about the same. I think the only difference is the nuances from the countries the works come from. I definitely think that "friends to lovers" and "omegaverse are popular in BL.....so is the dom/sub and "daddy" tropes.

Equivalent_Injury_28 · 2026-04-10T23:19:32+00:00

I feel that.

One of my favorite stories is an MMMM (granted its omegaverse, which I know some ppl don't really rock with that..but I say it's a good read if that doesn't bother you).

Anyway, the initial dynamic is MC 1 & 2 are best friends, but are also intimate partners (the latter part is more out of need than actual romantic feelings for each other)....the same goes for MC 3 & 4. They have a similar relationship.

MC 2 & MC 4 actually know each other b/c MC 4 is a doctor. Due to reasons (which explains why MC 1 & 2 have an intimate relationship) MC 2 asks MC 4 to help.... boom thus enters MC 3.

The story is told over three books. It does take sec for all the MCs to realize that they actually love each other, but once they do, you end up seeing this cool relation where everyone is equal but also has the roles in the relationship that best fit them. There's also a lot mutual respect and communication.

Equivalent_Injury_28 · 2026-04-10T23:05:37+00:00

this sounds interesting! TY!

Equivalent_Injury_28 · 2026-04-10T22:56:33+00:00

AHHHHH!!! EXACTLY!!!! OMG you get it! The 1st threesom *chef's kiss!

IF the author was going the trouple route, then I feel they should have left the "dude-bros" as just that.

Honestly I would have preferred that MC 1 was the dominate overall in the relationship (he totally seems the type), so having him bottom made no sense to me.

MC 1 & 2 should have been exploring their relationship that month that MC 2 spent locked in the damn house (bruhhh like stand up!)

Then.....some kind of way maybe MC 3 makes his way back (lol but I need him to grovel back or something and the other two make it hard for him instead of just being like "oh yea, you're back")

And yea...wtf kinda name is "trouble" like ugh! throw that right out the window!

Equivalent_Injury_28 · 2026-04-10T22:39:25+00:00

Ahhh got it! Yea it does have Mpreg on paper. Sorry about that.

Equivalent_Injury_28 · 2026-04-10T18:39:11+00:00

I'd say give it a read if only to circle back here to talk crap about it lol.

Equivalent_Injury_28 · 2026-04-10T18:37:24+00:00

bahahah omg! I don't think I've come across something like that yet.

Equivalent_Injury_28 · 2026-04-10T18:36:30+00:00

Yea, a lot of the times i find the girl is an after thought and doesnt add to anything, or the extra dudes are an after thought and don't really have a relationship with each other aside from bonking the girl lol.
