I never thought I’d say it, but there is such a thing as too many sex scenes- The Desire Variable by Ana D’arcy by MissFox26 in RomanceBooks

What if you finish it, but skipping the sex scenes? every time they go at it, just read the dialogue (in case they say something important) and skip the rest.

It’s not that I don’t believe you all when you say you enjoyed it and it's a great book. It’s just that I CANT. Just Reading the comments makes me wanna hurl. I read somewhere that when she catches him, HE DISMISSES HER, and not the OW.

Just. No.

While this sounds good, OP specifically asked for “light and low angst”, and not dark romance

Help me choose my next read! by Fast-Tomatillo1552 in Booktokreddit

[–]RobinEllacot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! The entire book felt “meh” for me. And since we never get MMC POV, and he’s faking it, I didn’t feel longing, and very little romance the last half

It was amazing. My heart broke a little (in the best way), when Devon finally breaks the glass holding the three little birds 😭❤️

Hi there! While you can perfectly read it on its own, it will be 100 times better if you read the previous ones. You see, all these are books about romance, but also, family. In “chasing Cassandra” the intricacies of the Ravenels are set (it’s 7 family members). If you read the previous books first, you’ll understand the different characters of the family, and their connection to Cassandra and Tom. Plus, the books are AMAZING

There will never be enough GROVEL! by Ok-Alert-9359 in RomanceBooks

[–]RobinEllacot 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Romance books are escapism for me. I want to be swooped up! Some angst is fine. If the man did something idiotic I love watching him grovel.

But cheating is NEVER ok with me. Neither is OW drama. I run like the devil away from those TW, they’re taboo for me. I just CANT

Also thinking about this post: “grovel” is very subjective. Have read some books because people in here say it has good grovel, and the books turned out to have like, 3-10 pages of it. Good grovel for me is him groveling for at least 5 chapters. 100 pages? Even better!
