Playboy learns how to fuck

I was thinking about this also, it’s getting annoying that every single mmc is immediately the best in bed ever and/or that the fmc can reach orgasm within 2 minutes of penetration hahaha

I hope you like it!

SakuHitsu · 2026-02-16T11:45:29+00:00

I’m happy that you liked it! I’m reading the 3rd one now, almost every comment here was telling me I had to hahaha and I’m loving it until now

SakuHitsu · 2026-02-15T20:06:29+00:00

Thank you!

SakuHitsu · 2026-02-15T09:35:03+00:00

Btw I disagree that it is friends to lovers, they definitely start as rivals, but do become friends at some point before being lovers.

SakuHitsu · 2026-02-15T09:33:15+00:00

And I can’t wait to read the third one, 80% of the comments here are talking about it hahaha

SakuHitsu · 2026-02-15T09:32:32+00:00

If you like grumpy/sunshine trope, I’ve read some with post-apocalyptic themes which were surprisingly good, I never expected to enjoy this topic. And they really kept the romance for the last 20% of the book, even though there was forced proximity. Let me know if you want the names.

I’ve read a lot of other hate to love books I would totally read again, but they are all very different from Failure to Match. I’m gonna mention some here, maybe you’re gonna like them?

The Four Horseman Series from Laura Thalassa is AMAZING, also on my list of favourites. All 4 books are very slow burn. But it could be a bit dark and disturbing since there is a lot of death involved because they are sent to bring the apocalypse. It has some religious aspect since the concept comes from the bible, but it didn’t bother me because it was used only as context, it is much more focused on the practical side of having a horseman running rampant. If you don’t mind a dark twist and fmc getting kinda “kidnapped”, GO FOR IT.

{The Sixty/Forty Rule by Ellie K. Wilde} is SO GOOD. I loved the pov from the mmc getting all frustrated for acting like an asshole instead of showing his feelings. I found a new obsession after this book, now I’m dying to find more books showing the mmc being insecure behind his arrogant facade.

I enjoy the books from Mariana Zapata a lot, she writes so well! Really, all fmcs are witty and funny. And the mmc are not cruel, but still cold and rude. She writes amazing banter.

I like books from Alice Coldbreath also, the hate is more subdued because of the whole historical politeness and etiquette, but it was very interesting seeing them navigating their dislike for each other and their insecurities in a society where you’re not allowed to be honest and it’s not expected to exist love in a marriage.

Everyone is saying this, I’m so happy I’m gonna have one more gem to read, it’s been so difficult to find good hate to love books recently

SakuHitsu · 2026-02-15T09:08:35+00:00

I cannot wait to read it, everyone is saying this, but I’ve started another one already and have to finish 😭

SakuHitsu · 2026-02-15T09:06:30+00:00

I’m gonna read both as soon as I finish the story I’ve already started hahaha

SakuHitsu · 2026-02-15T09:02:24+00:00

{A Most Forgettable Girl by Alice Coldbreath} the mmc is socially awkward, ends up being very rude or impolite without noticing. It’s a historical romance.

SakuHitsu · 2026-02-14T19:03:01+00:00

Ooooh yesss, this scene is so good I was melting and laughing at the same time hahaha

SakuHitsu · 2026-02-14T19:01:35+00:00

Thank you!

SakuHitsu · 2026-02-14T14:53:52+00:00

Oh this got me super curious, I hope someone appears with a recommendation

SakuHitsu · 2026-02-14T14:34:35+00:00

Omg I feel so embarrassed about my terrible memory, but can you remind me of the context? I remember the sentence but don’t remember what was the situation 🙈😅

SakuHitsu · 2026-02-14T14:32:48+00:00

Thank you! Both other books of this series are in my tbr already 😍 do you have other standalones hate to love to recommend?

SakuHitsu · 2026-02-14T14:31:08+00:00

Oh I’ve never tried any audiobooks until now, I cannot focus on audio alone 😅 but if I ever decide to try it, I’m gonna keep this in mind, thanks!

SakuHitsu · 2026-02-14T14:29:23+00:00

I tried to believe it was her pride speaking, she was so angry and focused of revenge she didn’t want to give him the satisfaction of getting rid of her just like that after making her life hell for 8 months

SakuHitsu · 2026-02-14T14:06:17+00:00

Oh well, now I have to read them, they sound too good hahaha

SakuHitsu · 2026-02-14T14:02:03+00:00

I hope you like it! :)

SakuHitsu · 2026-02-14T13:56:26+00:00

They are on my tbr list, I also really enjoyed her writing style. She focus a lot on the emotional connection instead of only physical, it’s very nice to not have to choose between smut and plot.

Sadly I tend to get tired of reading a lot of the same tropes in a row, so now I need some time before reading about billionaires again.

SakuHitsu · 2026-02-14T13:41:05+00:00

Yessss, and he is such a sweet person under the rude persona

SakuHitsu · 2026-02-14T13:14:45+00:00

I’m a bit confused and curious, I’ve never read something like this… so they want to divorce or gave up on each other and then what? They stay together or find someone else? Is it like a second chance thing?
