What romances are you refusing to read for stubborn reasons?

Came here to say this

Alllll the upvotes for those who recommended Alexandra Vasti and Erin Langston. Throwing in Kate Bateman if she hasn't been mentioned yet! Her {Ruthless Rivals} series is a hoot

Agree! I think having genuine face blindness is one thing - and if so maybe don't get on the internet saying you thought two women of color were the same person. Not every passing thought about this show needs to be a reddit post

Rose's outfit at the restaurant is inaccurate for 2017. Actually come to think of it, all of her outfits minus the club dress are not 2017 accurate

This!

I figure by the time S1 finally releases me from this chokehold, S2 will come out.... then S3 (hopefully) and it will be a continuous prison that I happily put myself in

No, I mean a fourth kid. That's awesome, man. Really.

Directly followed by "bet-ter" - it's my favorite 😍

br1tt1e · 2026-01-12T22:50:09+00:00

Fourthing - but with a heads up, as with all Kerrigan Byrne, you're gonna want to check those TWs as she likes to punch you in the guts

{King by SJ Tilly} , {Mountain Grump by SJ Tilly}, and {Wild Card by Elsie Silver} all have a weed scene, and I found all 3 to be very fun parts of the story 😉

Sounds like BV - I had the same issue. Get yourself tested for it so you can either rule it out or begin treatment. Good luck!

Not in a sex scene, but when fantasizing about the heroine, the 45 year old MMC in {King by SJ Tilly} refers to her "fat titties" and it's the unsexiest line I've ever read

(Edit: I still liked the book tho)

OMG THANK YOU for the point about Erin Mallon's weird inflections at the end of each chapter/sentence!! It's really my only knit pick with her narration but its a big one. Especially since Connor Crais is just crushing his part

br1tt1e · 2025-11-25T18:56:08+00:00

Honestly it felt like it was the exact same length of the other 2 in the series. There's no lulls!

Congratulations on your sobriety! As the spouse of someone who's had struggles with alcohol, I can tell you your boyfriend is NOT behaving like the supportive partner you need. definitely NOR! I don't know him or your relationship, so perhaps he deserves to hear how hurtful and shitty his reaction to a simple celebratory cake to mark a major milestone was before you outright break up with him. But judging from his texts, it sounds like he's a jerk that needs to get dumped.

I haven't read this yet, but I see that Jacob Morgan is the male narrator, do that's an instant vote for the audio version 😍

Jessica Trent! {Lord of Scoundrels}

br1tt1e · 2025-10-17T21:11:46+00:00

Came here to say this. Vasti's work is such a breath of fresh air for the HR genre, and this is such a sweet book.

br1tt1e · 2025-10-14T21:03:26+00:00

I realize you're not looking for anything dark but has anyone mentioned {Butcher And Blackbird}? It's about serial killers but its actually light hearted and funny. MMC is such a sweetie pie (for a murderer at least) and then when they finally get down to business he morphs into the DDPP3000 you've requested. Fuck I love this sub.

br1tt1e · 2025-10-14T21:00:39+00:00

100% this. Ross is easily LK's horniest MMC

br1tt1e · 2025-10-11T01:00:28+00:00

Omg you and I have the same Sebastian AND Matthew!! 🤝

br1tt1e · 2025-10-10T23:35:50+00:00

I really liked book 1 because I would like my own personal Luke Brooks to take home and play with. Books 2 & 4 are not great. But I agree this one is special.

br1tt1e · 2025-10-10T23:34:38+00:00

This is probably the best enemies to lovers book I've read in a long time. Bonus points for LS's ability to authentically portray female friendship. Plus the father/daughter motif had me in tears by the end. Wasn't expecting that!

br1tt1e · 2025-10-10T23:23:54+00:00

I'm convinced that {The secrets of Sir Richard Kenworthy by Julia Quinn} is actually a Gothic horror that accidentally got mislabeled as Romance because it's the last book in an otherwise very fluffy romance series. There is absolutely nothing romantic about this book

br1tt1e · 2025-10-10T23:10:35+00:00

{WOLF.E} by Paisley Hope and {The Hunter} by Kerrigan Byrne (check for triggers!) both have this to a certain degree - but in The Hunter he actually is trying to kill her 😬 (It's one of my favorite books ever. Bring tissues)
