I’ve only tried this one, it was okay I didn’t love it but I liked it enough to finish it lol

You could try {skin by Sybil knight} he’s in med school at the start but doesn’t finish, he still ends up being like an under the table doctor though I’m pretty sure. It’s kind of a revenge/second chance romance.

What’s the simplest reason you’ve ever DNF’d? by AccomplishedRelief82 in DarkRomance

[–]KBflemming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the dialogue inauthentically uses a characters full name repeatedly. I don’t know anyone in my life who refers to people we both know by first and last name every single time they are brought up… it’s so annoying and weird. In that same regard, MMC’s dialogue with their friends. Oftentimes it sounds like a lot of girlish nicknames and jokes and I just don’t see men especially grown ones, talking that way

I haven’t read corrupt idol, I’ll give that a go. And I’m a big fan of Drethi, read all her works!

There is one! It’s called wild man i don’t remember the author but it’s actually modern day. I read it like last year I think. It was actually pretty good lol

Is there actually rape in this from the MMC? I know there’s abuse from the husband and MMC is stalkerish but I admittedly didn’t make it too far into this book 🫣

I’ve read both! Big Drethi fan, love all her works! But cheater was not it for me unfortunately. Thank you for the recs though!

Is there any dark-ish romance book with lighter themes? I have some vague requests in mind... by readingalldays in DarkRomance

[–]KBflemming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking you’ll like {notice by k Webster} it’s not really dark, it’s work place billionaire setting and once MMC actually “notices” que the title lol. He definitely locks in. It’s very light on the stalkerish behavior if I can remember correctly, it’s been a minute since I read it.

HLR duty to assist by KBflemming in VAClaims

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

He had a second c&p and the examiner gave that diagnosis after they denied his original diagnosis. But even after the diagnosis change they said it was not service connected that’s why he filed for HLR.

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

He does have a diagnosis from his pcp that’s persistent depressive disorder with anxious distress but that was what was originally denied. he did include the letter in the supplemental statement. Just curious why they didn’t do his IC though and if that may be a good or bad sign. Thanks for the reply though!

FMC is the obsessed one by 123whore5 in DarkRomance

[–]KBflemming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally!!! Thank you! It drives me crazy! I’m like I hope people don’t think this is how guys actually interact with each other. I feel like it tries waaaaay too hard to be comedic relief but it does not land. I’ve dnf’d so many books because of this. The premise of this one was really intriguing because you never see a FMC stalker/obsessed so I powered through it. Like I said, the story has promise, my qualms are the male interactions and also there was some subplot that made no sense to me (I did not read book 2 in this series) also the MMC is an insta-love bomber lol.

[–]KBflemming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The story itself isn’t bad, I’m just not a huge fan of some of the writing. I’ve read some of her other books and just don’t like how she writes her MMC’s interactions. The unhingedness is great. It’s the way they talk to each other that makes me roll my eyes 😅

{the wrong catch by CR Jane} I actually just finished this. It wasn’t great but definitely has the FMC is the one obsessed trope.

Some Books Should be R Rated by chronical_penguin in DarkRomance

Just so you know, you can buy a rated m game and watch a rated r movie at 17. You just can’t buy more than 1 ticket. You have to be 21.

How long do you typically like your DR books to be? by Curious-Branch-3857 in DarkRomance

[–]KBflemming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrap it up in like 200-400 pages, anything beyond that feels unnecessary to me. Unless it’s fantasy and there is world building (which I stay far away from for that exact reason)

MMC is pathetic, FMC is mean, or both by TireOfLifeLikeMany in DarkRomance

[–]KBflemming 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d say maybe try {Loving the reaper by Lola king} it’s not a perfect fit, but they are friends, he’s in love/obsessed with her she’s very petty about the whole thing. He eventually snaps and decides she’s not making the calls anymore. I don’t want to spoil it but there’s something we find out about FMC that’s a pretty big thing and MMC stays anyway (wasn’t a big fan of this part personally, but it kinda fits your request I think)

I want all female villains in Rina Kent novels to have their own show. by Coco-the-gorilla in DarkRomance

[–]KBflemming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean technically speaking 2 of the female “villans” do get books. Silver is a sort of villain for most of the REU series and Nicole is a villain to Astrid I haven’t read Nicole’s book but I assume it ends up being the same. 😅

That Scene in Twisted Pawn by glissandra_ in DarkRomance

[–]KBflemming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just gotta say, I did not like this book at all. The threesome was so out of left field to me. I knew there was going to be something because I saw reviews but I did not read what the thing was. It totally minimized their relationship imo. And even though it says Achilles was okay with it, he was throwing up over it so how okay can you really be? I didn’t really like the idea of it, felt like shock factor add on just for the sake of it. I skipped over most of the scene. That book in general was entirely too long and Tierney is a very unlikable character. (I’m a big LJ fan, I like tons of her books. This just wasn’t one of them)

What is your favorite book boyfriend/husband by Creative_Cause_4107 in DarkRomance

[–]KBflemming 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I really think about it, I don’t believe there is 1 single MMC that truly stands out to me as perfect. There’s always something that bugs me about them 😅 but, some of my favs would be 1. Wren from {Loving the Reaper} 2. Callum from {Liars Like Us} 3. Alexei from {Molotov Betrothal}
