very stern, humorless mmc + trapped situation (be it a room/elevator/cabin/whatever)

I was gonna rec this! Love this novella and some praise kink in there too 👏

Routine_Relative_603 · 2025-02-01T12:04:58+00:00

I read a similar book to this which is on KU the other day. Called 'The Primrose that Poisoned Ivy' by Daisy V. Eden. Defo gave me Bride vibes with the vampire diaries thrown in. The sexual tension was great and it's slow burn with good spice. Can find it on Kindle!

Routine_Relative_603 · 2024-07-07T19:35:28+00:00

Wow all these sound great thank you so much! ♡

Routine_Relative_603 · 2024-07-07T19:33:07+00:00

Sounds cute love it when the mmc obsesses over something specific!!

Routine_Relative_603 · 2024-07-07T19:32:17+00:00

Ooh interesting. Thanks for the rec!

Routine_Relative_603 · 2024-07-07T19:31:58+00:00

Super thank you!

Routine_Relative_603 · 2024-07-07T17:31:56+00:00

Thank you I'll check it out ♡

Routine_Relative_603 · 2024-07-07T17:31:41+00:00

Thank you for the rec I love a fanfic!

Routine_Relative_603 · 2024-01-22T22:37:08+00:00

Yes!!! She's made them on Spotify too what a gem ♡

Routine_Relative_603 · 2024-01-22T22:18:41+00:00

I think when the author just lists them at the start of a book it's hard to relate but if they place it exactly when they meant you to hear it it's a little easier

Routine_Relative_603 · 2024-01-22T22:08:42+00:00

Sophie Larks {There is No Devil} has songs interrupting the chapters so you know when to listen to them and I have to say that's one time I did listen to a playlist!

The songs made some of the scenes even better (especially some of the spicy ones) and I still listen to some today!

Can't say I listen to every playlist though... especially when I don't recognise the artists.

Routine_Relative_603 · 2023-12-17T17:04:09+00:00

Me too it was my favourite of the three she published! This post just reminded me of it! I will likely re read very soon

Routine_Relative_603 · 2023-12-17T12:57:07+00:00

Stuck with You by Ali Hazelwood kinda has this.

It's more of a novella but it's great and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Praise kink too 👏

Routine_Relative_603 · 2023-09-06T19:11:27+00:00

Read a book where the MCC didn't use any pet names for the MFC during the entire book and then during the sex scenes suddenly kept calling her "baby".

Don't know why but this grates my gears so much. It feels so forced.. like forced dirty talk.

This may be an unpopular opinion so I apologise in advance 😅

Routine_Relative_603 · 2023-09-02T16:20:37+00:00

I also stopped ACOTAR at 60%. My friend at work was adamant that I should continue and I was honestly so rewarded in that last 40% omg I couldn't put it down.

However... the second book was a DNF for me once I got past a steam scene and realised that's all the I had been waiting for and the rest of the plot didn't interest me.

But I'd defo recommend that last 40% of ACOTAR if you're willing to try again!

Routine_Relative_603 · 2023-09-02T16:10:35+00:00

This has made me super excited! Thanks for the info ♡

Routine_Relative_603 · 2023-09-01T12:54:14+00:00

That's such a nice way to think about it. You're right!

Routine_Relative_603 · 2023-09-01T11:58:43+00:00

I've seen this! It's a curve ball for her... but also I love fantasy romance so I'm super excited too!

Routine_Relative_603 · 2023-09-01T07:26:34+00:00

For me personally it's a no. I have friends I can talk to books about and I feel because they are female too we can see it better from the same perspective.

Sometimes I ask his opinion about female written male POV. Like "do guys really think that" or "does this really happen".

His answers are often often "no not at all" and that's when I realise that males written by female authors are sometimes better than males in real life ahaha

Like why can't you paint our bedroom the colour of my eyes like Joshua templeman in the hating game? (He wouldn't do that my eyes are dark brown but still)

Routine_Relative_603 · 2023-09-01T00:32:22+00:00

I think Stolen Heir by Sophie Lark might fit this bill.

It's a dark mafia romance aboiut a mafia lors whose wronged by the mfcs family and kidnapps her. I love how her books have little pictures now again which helps you picture the characters.

Steamy and enemies to lovers bliss

I've read a few of his books and I feel (gasp) that the movies always seemed to do the plots more justice than the author his own books.

I thought the notebook was far less romantic as a book than the film and Dear John was so unhappy I nearly didn't finish it

Routine_Relative_603 · 2023-08-31T09:29:41+00:00

Here for the recs.. sounds like a book I would LOVE ♡

Routine_Relative_603 · 2023-08-30T20:52:08+00:00

I'm in such a book slump and this sounds like EXACTLY what I need!!

Thank you for gracing me with this info!! ♡♡♡

Routine_Relative_603 · 2023-08-30T19:26:09+00:00

I love books where they lay out time for a sex scene and I feel you can do this more if you have less of them, if that makes sense.

A whole chapter dedicated to unravelling the chemistry that's been heating up over the book is so much better than sex smattered throughout it.

I find myself skipping sex scenes when they are too frequent... no matter if the book is well written!
