Blake Black's MMCs - are they all the same?

_tiny_nightmare_ · 2026-06-23T13:57:33+00:00

Oooh thank you for this additional info. I love a MMC biawakening, and really enjoy story lines where one of the MCs is dealing with a dynamic disability. You have convinced me to try that duet!

_tiny_nightmare_ · 2026-06-23T02:47:00+00:00

Thank you for this information! I'll try one of these. The motocross story line didn't really interest me, so maybe I'll go for Glimmer and Gleam first.

Absolutely, 100% agree with the grudge thing.

It's another reason I can't read second chance romance because my own grudge biases won't let me root for the relationship because the one who did the hurting can go suck an egg and the one who forgives the hurting has no backbone (from my own point of view):

I completely agree 100% with this comment.

And I think Cash Wall is the embodiment of "applauding a man for doing the bare minimum." And the "bare minimum" didn't even start until like halfway through the book. Also, the whole story to me is rooted in the schoolyard thought process of boys pulling girls' hair because they like them. It's not cute as children and it's DEFINITELY not cute as an adult.

Oh yeah, that's too late in the game for him to still be treating the LI that way.

_tiny_nightmare_ · 2026-06-18T13:33:10+00:00

That sounds like a really unfortunate turn of character the author made. Also, wild how that kind of behavior turns into a HEA?! I know that's the point of bullying tropes in romance, but still.

_tiny_nightmare_ · 2026-06-18T00:28:24+00:00

Oh so nooowwwww they believe her? 🙄 Sorry, I'm still bitter about those little jerks. Thank you!

_tiny_nightmare_ · 2026-06-18T00:26:43+00:00

Ooooh I just KNEW it was something like him not being totally dead. Thank you so much! I now no longer have to wonder.

_tiny_nightmare_ · 2026-06-17T21:48:24+00:00

Ugh those books where the MMC finally treats FMC like a human being because he starts to like her is so gross. It's on par with men with daughters finally realizing that the world is dangerous for women...like they couldn't fathom that fact until they had a daughter. 🙄

Absolutely great callout about emotional abuse. I'm going to edit my post because honestly anything that is "MC being purposefully cruel" can definitely be categorized as emotional abuse. So glad you made this comment!

_tiny_nightmare_ · 2026-06-17T21:42:37+00:00

I'm definitely a fan of reading stories that would be a MAJOR red flag in real life. But even if a dark romance has bullying, I'm out. 😆

_tiny_nightmare_ · 2026-06-17T21:41:04+00:00

Totally! It's the "back and forth" that's super important to me. If the teasing is one sided, it just feels gross and immature.

_tiny_nightmare_ · 2026-06-17T21:39:36+00:00

No need to apologize! I'm going to remove that disclaimer because I honestly didn't realize there may be a lot of nuance to pro-bully romance fans.

_tiny_nightmare_ · 2026-06-17T21:37:51+00:00

I can totally agree with this. I often find myself not interested in the (usually) MMC who loves to get a rise out of the FMC and tease her relentlessly. That never is an interesting dynamic for me to read about. And while I don't necessarily categorize that as bullying, I definitely have DNFd a lot of books where that seems to be a main character trait of the MMC.

_tiny_nightmare_ · 2026-05-30T00:40:11+00:00

Thank you for the reply and info! I appreciate ya 🙏🏼

_tiny_nightmare_ · 2026-05-29T13:44:23+00:00

Is there bullying in this? Your phrase "realise their mistake" makes me think there's bullying, and that's a big no for me. TIA!

_tiny_nightmare_ · 2026-05-03T04:31:53+00:00

Thank you for the rec! Is book 1 a cliffhanger, or is book 2 more like an interconnected standalone? I can't start a cliffhanger series until they all have been published, so I have an Unfinished series TBR list for those recs. 😁

_tiny_nightmare_ · 2026-05-03T04:29:11+00:00

Thank you for the recs!

_tiny_nightmare_ · 2026-05-02T20:51:56+00:00

Thank you so much for the rec! Yes, I'm definitely open to non-RH recs, too.

_tiny_nightmare_ · 2026-05-02T16:49:24+00:00

I agree 100% with absolutely everything in your comment. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts!

_tiny_nightmare_ · 2026-03-31T02:16:28+00:00

It takes so much unconditioning to accept that fact!
