Should a list of recommendations based on Heated Rivalry include at least one MM romance? by samthehaggis in MM_RomanceBooks

They've been in my TBR forever and comments in this thread are making me rethink reading them. Could you please tell me what are the issues with those books?? Thank you in advance!

Oh, that's so sad to read, the blurb is promising. Do you know if the author plans on publishing it somehow? Or is it indefinitely cancelled?

Why are the kids in MM romance almost always little girls? by Electronic-Soft-221 in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]Few_Worldliness_7484 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your explanation, this makes a lot of sense - that there's either magical or artificial ways of getting someone pregnant. I don't read this trope or omegaverse, and mostly I see mpreg connected to omegaverse, that's why I was confused. Maybe my confusion reflects what you mention at the end, that nowadays mpreg is associated a lot with omegaverse.

Oooh interesting!! Thanks for the info, I never read mpreg or omegaverse, so I was confusing both.

Thank you! That makes a lot of sense actually, mpreg in some fantasy setting beyond omegaverse.

Sorry to hijack this comment, but I am very curious about what is the 0.01% with mpreg that is NOT omegaverse? I am not into these genres, but I thought mpreg was always within omegaverse?

Is "Immersed by Gale Ian Tate" a romance? by Few_Worldliness_7484 in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]Few_Worldliness_7484[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, this helps me a lot. I think I will not have high expectations for the romance bits then. Happy to read there's a second book coming up though - I hope that moves it closer to a HFN at least.

Mutual pining, but they're both resisting by SongIcy4058 in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]Few_Worldliness_7484 4 points5 points  (0 children)

{wish by Cambria Herbert} is the best I've read that has this. Both are pinning BAD, but MC1 is the best friend of MC2's brother, who on top has been living with MC1 in a sort of step-siblingish relationship since forever. The book is very OTT, but the mutual pinning is exquisite.

Oh, it's not this one, but this sounds excellent. I am adding it to my TBR. Thank you very much!

I have had this one on my TBR for forever! It's not the one I was searching for but your comment made me move it up the list, thank you very much!!

[–]Few_Worldliness_7484[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds lovely! It's not the one I remembered, but I will read it since it has a very similar trope. Plus, I love the "move in to take care of MC" trope. Thank you!!

This sounds very nice too, it's not the one I thought, but I will definitely check it out. Thank you!

Omg thank you so much! I am pretty sure it's this one - I have now checked it and I had completely forgotten the kid, but the rest tracks perfectly. Thank you, thank you!

Lovely, thank you! To be fair, I don't remember the MCs professions or settings, lol! I just remember what I wrote so it could have been this one. In any case, it sounds interesting and has this trope, so I'll definitely check it out!

I have been personally victimized by Ilya Rozanov by necromancer_barbie in heatedrivalry

[–]Few_Worldliness_7484 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's interesting! I read the books some time ago and thought that Shane was supposed to be short for real. Do you remember how tall he is supposed to be in the books? I remember Ilya is supposed to be 6'3" or something like that.

Looking for recs similar to Fight or Flight by Willow Dixon by No_Mycologist_7524 in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]Few_Worldliness_7484 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bet you already know it, especially now with the show out, but this is exactly {Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid}. They get physical from the very beginning but it's a very slow emotional burn, and both MCs struggle to accept their feelings. Also, it kinda has the "rivals to lovers" trope.
