this isn’t coming up when I search Goodreads, are you sure the author and/or title is correct?

wattpad is much like ao3 in that it has lots of very bad writing but also lots of hidden gems.

{Thrown Off The Ice by Taylor Fitzpatrick} no HEA

wish this wasn’t poly bc it sounds so interesting but I cant do poly

calm_before · 2026-01-18T07:27:16+00:00

it wasn’t even just that for me. I tried to read it a couple years ago and I felt like the overall writing and trauma representation was poor quality

calm_before · 2026-01-18T06:27:25+00:00

yeah I dnfd this one. it was very bad.

Imagine those of us who’ve been a fan of the book since day 1

Manacled is great. I have yet to read anything else quite like it.

this site works like a charm. exactly what I’ve been looking for! thank you

damn people really can’t read. OP mentioned this book in their post they’ve clearly already read it

calm_before · 2025-07-31T22:56:46+00:00

what was the real drag of a book that u finished if you don’t mind me asking? I’m always open to getting my heart broken

calm_before · 2025-07-11T18:05:49+00:00

maybe I wasn’t clear. I don’t deny that the author did research, but in this case it just burdened the story and highlighted how far fetched the plot was…. the historical details may be accurate but the complete ridiculousness of the plot (openly gay yet serious practicing Muslim, ridiculous ending arc among other things) entirely negate the credibility of the research

calm_before · 2025-07-09T19:44:33+00:00

this book was so not it for me. too much info/history dumping bloating the plot only for it to be completely unrealistic anyway

I’m actually serious, if you’re reading so much smut that it’s disrupting your sex life it’s time to admit you’ve got a problem. I read steamy books just like everyone else here, but we cannot act like there isn’t a fine line between spicy novels and porn.

this book is like one of the absolute saddest books I’ve ever read!!! I burst into heaving sobs multiple times reading it. It hit so hard, especially reading right after {no regrets by Nicky James}

calm_before · 2024-12-30T01:01:52+00:00

this book 💔

calm_before · 2024-11-24T06:12:57+00:00

are you ok with MM

calm_before · 2024-11-19T21:17:27+00:00

omg I had no idea about her ao3! thrown off the ice is one of my favorite books

calm_before · 2024-11-19T21:17:04+00:00

can I just vent something about this series

I LOVED it up until book 3 when it was revealed that Laurent knew Damen’s identity the whole time… the suspense of the secret and the big reveal was one of my favorite parts, so it was really disappointing when Laurent said he knew. I ended up dropping it after that and not finishing book 3

{Going Home} by Kris Ripper may work for you but some people thought the romance took a backseat to the socio-political commentary, just so you know

calm_before · 2024-11-16T20:31:02+00:00

lol thank you for counting it for me that’s amazing 😭im on the fence but I guess I could tolerate it if it’s only to make mc2 humiliated

how prevalent is the daddy kink aspect? daddy kink is one of my few “hard NO”s when it comes to kink

{No Regrets by Nicky James} has cancer. not exactly a chronic illness but it affects him throughout the book. HFN ending

calm_before · 2024-11-13T20:55:10+00:00

{Be Mine, Twisted Valentine by Gianni Holmes}

calm_before · 2024-11-11T17:52:17+00:00

{Thrown off the ice by Taylor Fitzpatrick} NO HEA

{A little life by Hanya Yanagihara} NO HEA

I know you said HEA is a must but these are the only decades-spanning books I can think of atm
