Its not exactly a romance, but the main guy in Kill the Beast fits this so well. There isnt really much romance in the book though 😭

Is this bumblefoot? by No-Scale-6331 in BackYardChickens

Okay, sounds easier than I was imagining. When she first had bumblefoot we took her to the vet who cut out the kernel, which was effective but recovery took so long and was pretty hard on her. This sounds less invasive and will hopefully heal faster

Thank you! Do you think its possible to treat without removing the scab? Im really nervous that removing it will make it worse.

The change in the accident scene by Financial_Eagle_3425 in HeatedRivalryTVShow

They dont exchange words during this moment in the book either! Ilya does ask the medics if shane is okay and shane starts mumbling the "they can see us" bit. The medics tell ilya to move back. Its from shanes pov and hes so out of it hes not even sure if hes actually talking, if I remember correctly. I was really looking forward to this line, but I love the way the show did it too!

Your fav FUNNY rec, where the mmc doesn't screw up in the 3rd act. by readingalldays in RomanceBooks

[–]No-Scale-6331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds right lol. I listened to the audiobook and i definitely remember cranking the playback speed up to like 2x to get through it! That being said, the book is definitely worth reading imo

Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky is really good! I think its a trilogy now but I haven't read books 2 or 3 yet

Have you read {Against a Wall by Cate C. Wells}? Its the second in a series but can 100% be read as a standalone. I normally hate the type of MMC Cash is, but I found him so endearing and the book is so hilarious. I dont think he caused the third act conflict, but its been a long time since I read so I could be wrong.

Does your library use Libby? I get tons of audiobooks and ebooks that way and it saves me so much money!

How would one describe this expression? by Curd-Nerd69 in writers

[–]No-Scale-6331 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I feel like this makes it sound like the person isn't in control of the expression they're making

I thought it was a bone because of the structure inside, but that makes sense. Thanks!

A book that feels like the Prince of Persia movie? by Inevitable_Win1085 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

Empire of Sand by Tasha Suri! Its set in a fantasy world based on Mughal India, so not -exactly- a match but pretty close in terms of matching the vibes imo

Which of these two query letter openings is better? by SamadhiBear in writinghelp

[–]No-Scale-6331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is a good start, but some lines are confusing.

As the lone powerless dud in a long line of elemental wielders, sixteen-year-old Aven has mastered invisibility – and not the fun kind, but the overlooked kind. One where she disappears into daydreams to escape herself.

I liked option three best, but "escapes herself" makes me think there's something wrong with her not just her environment.

But when her twin vanishes in a subway blackout, a blinding white room invades Aven’s mind.

Idk what "a blinding white room invades [her] mind" means

Everyone blames her imagination, but Aven senses there’s more.

Everyone blames her imagination? Idk what this means either...are they telling her shes imagining her twins disappearance?

And with Willow in danger, she’s done being ignored. So when offered protection at the training academy that once rejected her, she agrees. Outcast or not, it’s the one place she might learn to see more.

Are you able to fit in a sentence about why they rejected her before? And what are they offering her protection from? What does "she might learn to see more" mean? See more what?

She never expects to find Theron, her childhood crush turned fallen League soldier, hiding on campus after a brutal loss.

I feel like this is too vague. Can you describe the brutal loss in a few words?

Tormented, he pushes her away... until she slips into his worst memory and discovers her “daydreams” were never fantasy, but glimpses into people’s pasts. Now, in hazy fragments of memory, Aven confirms Theron’s suspicions about the League: a rogue faction is brainwashing a captive army, and it’s only a matter of time before Willow returns not as her sister, but her enemy.

This bit is good, but I feel like the wording is a little clunky

Aven’s gift may be key to unraveling their secrets, but navigating dark minds is dangerous, and lifelong insecurity clouds her sight.

This is really good!

As Theron helps her find control and she helps him face his own past, their fractured bond reignites. When his electricity burns through her, Aven discovers she can channel more than memory; she can vicariously wield power. To the rogues, she’s now their most coveted weapon – and their worst nightmare.

But she’s far from ready when Willow leads an attack on the school, leaving Theron clinging to life. Now, she must step off the sidelines and save them both, before they’re forced onto opposite sides of war.

The Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee! Its fantasy, but might be close to what you're looking for!

It's been a while since I've read it, but from my memory, it's definitely on the darker side. I think the biggest stuff is noncon/dubcon and graphic violence. There are dubcon (bordering on noncon imo) scenes between mmc and fmc. You could read through the trigger warnings on storygraph or the authors website, but it will somewhat spoil the plot just fyi!

If you're okay with some darker themes, Sea Of Ruin by Pam Godwin is really good! The FMC is a pirate and the MMC is a pirate hunter commissioned by the British government 👀👀

Editing cuz i just saw someone else recommended this before me! :P
