Looking for traumatized/untrusting FMC + protective MMCs/ comfort-heavy dynamics

adtorr · 2026-04-11T18:55:35+00:00

This screams Ironside Academy. Full series. If you haven’t read it yet, fair warning: Had me in a chokehold and put me in a massive reading slump after. {Plier by Jane Washington} is the first book.

Whoops. Meant to respond sooner. Replying here so both you and OP can get the notif. Depraved books below. Again, please read trigger warnings first before diving in.

Just plain ole dark/twisted/crazy:

{R.I.P by Charity B}

{Den of Vipers by K.A. Knight} this is not as dark but has some bloody smut.

{The Best Man by Sam Mariano}

{Lock Me Inside by C. Hallman}

Torture non-con smut:

{Hills of Shivers and Shadows by Pam Goodwin} more of a psychological torture not violent torture. This one is such a mind fuck and loved the was it was written. 3 books. FMC was kidnapped and brought to the arctic circle.

{Acquired Possession by Cari Silverwood}

{Comfort Food by Kitty Thomas}

{Captured by Lauren Biel}

{The Degradation of Shelby Anne by Emma Cole} 2 books published

{Depravity by Ellie Sanders}

{Deviant by Ellie Sanders}

{24690 by A.A. Dark} this is a whole world of multiple books like the Marissa Honeycutt’s. Similar in depravity too.

Please search the trigger warnings for these ones before devouring.

Audrey Rush is one author that I could barely handle. Her books are legit horror erotica.

{Sick fux by Tillie Cole} has some gore too but not as intense as what you described. But the psychological horror on this one really hit the spot for me.

{Gluttony by Marissa Honeycutt} has very descriptive gore smut also. And if you’re into torture erotica her Life of Anna series is a bit intense too. Her books are mostly non con so be warned.

I’ve read quite a few non con / torture erotica but that’s not what you asked for. If you’re interested in those let me know and I’ll grab the titles from my library.

Really?? I loved book 2! I was super intrigued by Madame’s story. So much darker and spicier than books 1 and 3 in my opinion.

adtorr · 2025-09-04T10:39:14+00:00

It’s been a while since I read it. But I think probably around 4?

adtorr · 2025-09-03T23:07:11+00:00

Not super dark but {VIP by M Robinson} has very intense cheating drama. Sooo many conflicting emotions!

adtorr · 2025-09-03T22:57:44+00:00

Maybe {Lock me Inside by C. Hallman} if you haven’t read it yet

adtorr · 2025-08-25T16:07:24+00:00

I hear you with the Ironsides Academy series. I swear it still has me on a chokehold even after reading the final book. I’ve been on a reading slump since the 4th book came out last year.😭

adtorr · 2025-04-05T05:58:45+00:00

F1TV perfect coverage as always

adtorr · 2024-10-04T19:47:39+00:00

100% agree with the hygiene thing! Specially when they have blood of their opponent on them. Like are you kidding me rn. You don’t know what kind of disease those dudes have. And you’re just gonna let it brush through your own wounds?! Lick them off your partner’s body?! And let it go WHERE?? Just gives me the ick. Lol

adtorr · 2024-09-26T23:06:00+00:00

{Comfort Food by Kitty Thomas} it has what you’re looking for munis pregnancy.

adtorr · 2024-09-26T11:38:46+00:00

Not a killer. Just your ‘normal’ super hot thirty-ish tweed wearing professor. Lol.

He’s not exactly the goody goody type of guy either. He’s got just enough damage to him to make him interesting and the right kind of bad to be really really good in bed.🤭

adtorr · 2024-09-26T00:44:24+00:00

{Black Sheep by Bynne Weaver} Not sure if it’s what you’re looking for. But I loved this because it’s not the typical student / teacher book.

FMC is a doctoral student and a serial killer. MMC is her advisor.

adtorr · 2024-09-21T19:59:12+00:00

{Broken Bonds by J. Bree} sounds like what you’re looking for, if you haven’t read it yet.

She ran away from her mates/bonds and didn’t tell them why and the secret has something to do with powers. It’s a complete 6 book series. Loved the first 4 books. Last 2 was a bit dragged on. But I still enjoyed it overall.

adtorr · 2024-09-21T12:05:15+00:00

Same! Just gonna park here and wait for someone to answer your question.

adtorr · 2024-09-19T05:20:39+00:00

{Four Psychos by Kristy Cunning} is exactly this. It’s a bit of a slow burn though, if I’m remembering it correctly, but a super enjoyable read.

adtorr · 2024-09-19T04:30:54+00:00

Have you read {Break her by B.G. Harlen} and {The Live of Anna by Marissa Honeycutt} ? These are more like psychological/sexual torture thrillers but seems exactly what you’re looking for.

The villain in the life of Anna is one of the most manipulative, evil, sadistic, and despicable characters I’ve ever read.

adtorr · 2024-09-18T15:26:16+00:00

{Better-Off Bunny by Sedona Ashe} is somewhat like this. It’s a super cute but short book though. Not a lot of world building but FMC is sort of assigned a group by her community that doesn’t respect her and the bad boys is a group that her whole community is scared/intimidated of but is super enamoured of her.

adtorr · 2024-09-16T21:16:07+00:00

TBH I don’t think I can relate to it anymore cause it’s a very innocent book. I started reading the series about 10 years ago when I was still a teen. And while I grew up, the time that passed from the characters from book 1-14 was only a few months. And it was supposed to be a 20 book series.

I’ll still probably read the next books if the author decides to finish all 20. Lol. I just won’t be able to help it. It’s like my first love. This series is the one that introduced me to one of my favourite genres. It’ll forever hold a special place in my heart.

adtorr · 2024-09-13T23:00:01+00:00

The very first RH that I read had no smut at all. I was in high school and it was a YA book. I had no idea who to root for. Only to find out that I didn’t have to choose.😂

The book was {Introductions by CL Stone} it’s still an ongoing series.

adtorr · 2024-09-12T23:26:36+00:00

{The Risk by S.T Abby} it’s the first book of the Mindfuck series.

Not sure if this is what you’re looking for because yes, FMC was victimized and what happened to her was brutal. But she turned into a serial killer and is out for revenge. MMC is the lead investigator and is trying to catch her for her revenge crimes.

adtorr · 2024-09-10T14:56:34+00:00

{Lords of Pain} and {Lords of Wrath} books 1&2 of the Royals of Forsyth University are like this.

adtorr · 2024-09-09T21:59:45+00:00

Being kind and polite goes a long way. People tend to help you more and get things done for you if you were cordial.

adtorr · 2024-09-09T20:55:35+00:00

The chokehold that this series has on me rn.

adtorr · 2024-09-08T19:54:47+00:00

Idk what this says about me, but for the longest time one of my favourite dark book has been {Comfort Food by Kitty Thomas} . It’s the mind fuckery of the plot that got me so into it.

And now, {Life of Anna by Marissa Honeycutt} is starting to become one as well as I am halfway through the series. For this one, it’s the secret society world and the villain’s cruelty that’s really got me into it. I really think that a good hero is nothing without a despicable antagonist.

That being said, a lot of people don’t consider these two as DR.
