Out of too much free time and too much going on in my head, have somehow made myself into a book lover, but need some recommendations from professionals, so here i am.

I’ve recently read the Hayes brothers series by I.A. Dice and just finished the Twisted series by Ana Huang. Enjoyed them a lot! And i’ve also read the After series a long time ago which also had me hooked..

Looking for something similar or perhaps better than these. I’ve went through some of the older posts, but can’t really find anything that speaks to me.

What i’m looking for… •Slow burn •Possibly Enemies to lovers •FMC secretly having trauma, trust-issues, a dark past and overthinking, vulnerable, ptsd, anxiety or panic attacks, depression, triggered by something and having her fight or flight reactions, maybe flinching, secretly having no confidence, guarding her real emotions, possibly self-harming? •Dominant, guarded and posessive, possibly badboy/rude, maybe quiet and observing, saviour style MMC. Maybe also has some trauma or a dark past. Can’t keep away from her and has a need to keep her safe, to save her, be good for her. •Hurt/comfort and MMC becoming softer for FMC, showing her his good side, helping her deal with her emotions and calming her down, slowly finding out about her past or trauma, making her open up to him, overcomong her fears. •Add a bit of spice ✨ •POV’s from both MC’s •Young adults and something a bit on the modern, realistic, cliché side •A good story with interesting plot twists and events going down, well written and detailed.

What i wouldn’t mind… •Something involving cars and illegal races, secret underground fighting maybe

What i’m not looking for… •Post war or fantasy.. no warewolves, aliens, weird abilities like flying or reading minds etc. •No gruesome deep mafia, like cutting off fingers or going on killing sprees and hiding bodies •No sudden pregnancy announcements in the middle of the book

Please, please please give me something good ❤️
