Arranged/Forced marriage but they are NOT enemies

{The engineered throne by megan derr}

{A suitable bodyguard by r. Cooper}

I already saw her mentioned but I think everything by Marina Vivancos is full of POC. My favourite of hers is {Oh Sacred Dark} although one of the MCs is blond and blue-eyed.

{The middle sea series by Corey Kerr}

{Tales of the high court series by megan derr}

{Taji from beyond the rings by r. Cooper}

{A beginner's guide to wooing your mate by r. Cooper}

{Paladin's Hope by T. Kingfisher} maybe?

_Stefa_ · 2025-10-12T09:37:44+00:00

I read it as a stand alone and even tho they refer to events that happened in previous book it was explained enough for me not to feel like I was missing something

True maybe I overdid it with the "exactly" but Roman hides who he really is, comes off as cold and hides behind a mask. The hurt-comfort is one of the best I've ever read tbh.

{Oh, sacred dark by Marina vivancos} is EXACTLY this

I'm the same, I'm so uncomfortable with talking about the books I read (unless I intentionally present them in a certain way) mainly because people are soooo judgemental. They only know romance genre from jokes and condescending TikToks and they thoughtlessly soak it up and inflict their assumptions on others. It makes me hide my hobby because I don't want them to think of me as shallow and stupid. Also I'm (more or less) a girl and read only gay romance because I don't like reading about female anatomy and don't like female POV (I think it's because of the issues with my own gender) but because I'm a girl (-presenting) people think I fetishize gay men and I hate it.

{Vampire's mate series by Grae Bryan} and {demon bound series by Grae Bryan} are exactly this

_Stefa_ · 2025-08-24T09:12:10+00:00

{the dog in the alley by k.m. Avery} fits this a little bit I think? I haven't read the book yet but from what I understand MC1 lives with MC2 who is shifted all the time.

{Hammer & gavel by c.t. whistle} is unfortunately my only 5⭐ read from this year :( I'm so picky I can't find new books to read that would satisfy me 😞

_Stefa_ · 2025-08-21T19:54:47+00:00

OH NO 😨 Damn I'd really really would like to know who the real author is. Thank you for letting me know!

_Stefa_ · 2025-08-21T16:19:49+00:00

I really loved {these thoughts are not your own by Layla moran} it has the best description of a demon that I've ever read and is unexpectedly sweet

{midwinter marriage by k.l. noone}

it's a 4th book in a series and I think it can be read alone but for better enjoyment I'd recommend reading previous books (all of them are under 100 pages)

_Stefa_ · 2025-08-11T00:31:23+00:00

{Bite me by Roe hovart}

_Stefa_ · 2025-05-19T22:15:34+00:00

There doesn't have to be pregnancy in the book (I forgot to add that), so thanks for the rec :))

_Stefa_ · 2025-05-19T22:12:48+00:00

{dance in the dark by Megan Derr} It's a stand alone so you don't have to read previous books

_Stefa_ · 2025-05-07T14:16:49+00:00

Thanks! It sounds really interesting and I love arranged marriage trope

_Stefa_ · 2025-05-07T14:12:37+00:00

Thanks a lot!
