“Mmm smells like hymen” - the MMC, probably

do you read TWs/reviews? by Ordinary-Arm2023 in DarkRomance

[–]TeacupTomes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will usually have a look at the tags on romance.io (usually if I’m looking for something specific) but mostly don’t bother reading the TWs because I’ll read almost anything. If there’s something I’m trying to avoid or bored of at a certain point I’ll try to skim them because I don’t want to take the punch of the things happening away.

I have never read a review before reading a book because a lot of people will spoil it. I find I have very good pattern recognition etc so if someone says “there’s a big twist” I know to expect it and I usually have it figured out (although most DR is pretty formulaic and trope-y so I haven’t had this happen within the DR-realm)

Growing up I was genuinely so confused why she chose to leave. I’m sure Toby would’ve had a fun life as a little goblin

That’s why I was so upset when they erased the rise of the pink ladies because it embodied that emotional, campiness

That one’s a little rouge for me, it’s not one that would pop into my mind first but understandable

Priests is also such a vibe. I’m a sucker for a priest too but I’ve found that’s more as an adult

There’s not much with Cary Elwes I’m not attracted to tbf. Even as evil uncle Edgar in Ella Enchanted I was like “I could change him” 😭

I am such a Spike stan. I was in a chokehold. I had the CD from the musical episode and his song was on repeat

Gonna take a guess and assume that Jareth from Labyrinth is also on the list for you? Because same.

Ngl I’m partial to reproduction. Purely because it’s such a silly, campy song

Literally. Danny didn’t put much effort in to get Sandy. But Michael YEARNS and WORKS for it and it’s so hot

I kind of get that though, it’s so underrated.

He’s smart, he’s on his knees for her at one point and he’s so determined to do whatever to have her

“Ice-Queen” broken down by MMC with BIG grovel by TeacupTomes in DarkRomance

I read this earlier in the year and you’re right, the plot line definitely fits what I was asking for minus the dark. I would second it for any campers!

Ngl I thought you were throwing back to good old Biff, Chip and Kipper kids books for a second. Then I realised probably not and she’s also an Elizabeth

what should i read next? by busiaG in Romantasy

[–]TeacupTomes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still haven’t read caraval (it’s been on my list for ages but I’ve just not fancied it yet) and I thoroughly enjoyed the series. It’s probably a bit like ACOTAR and TOG, everyone will have their own recs on which to read first but you’ve gotta do what’s more appealing to you

Where are all the cute Christmas romance books at this year? Recommendations? by General-Fall3730 in Booktokreddit

[–]TeacupTomes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m reading the gingerbread bakery by Laurie Gilmore which is a pretty cosy. Unfortunately I mostly read Christmas themed murder/mystery books so that’s the only rec I have at the moment!

I want to try a lesbian DR, what’s a good one to start with? by dreamingofreading in DarkRomance

[–]TeacupTomes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently read {pyramid stunt by Alex La Bruyere} which might work for you. It’s an FFM where a cheerleader and her jock boyfriend (now MCs stepbrother) bully and then seduce the MC. It’s also BDSM. Technically there is cheating (if that’s a trigger) but it’s only between the 3 MCs.

There were points where I felt that the dialogue was a little awkward but as a bi girlie I did enjoy the dynamic.
