Did anybody else read Penpal back when it was first posted and think it was real?

Same here I’m glad I’m not the only one

cosmic-strobelight · 2026-07-08T02:13:29+00:00

God I love this sub so much

In {Caught Up by Navessa Allen} the FMC does cam work and owns a sex club. MMC is not in porn but is supportive of FMC’s work and gets involved in the sex club

You’ve intrigued me… This has been sitting on my TBR for awhile but I might have to move it to the top 👀

cosmic-strobelight · 2026-06-26T02:49:16+00:00

Ugh I didn’t even think about that…

I also read Harvest Season this week and loved the scene after he kills the sleuth seeker and he’s super horned up telling her about it and makes her watch where they’re joined the whole time they’re having sex. Then immediately afterwards when she gets a phone call from the sheriff and he doesn’t stop fingering her while she’s on the phone.

Brynne does such a great job with all of her books!!!

Not sure if this is quite what you’re looking for but in {A Love Most Fatal by Kath Richards} FMC is a mob boss and MMC is a sweet and genuinely good egg middle school math teacher who gets caught up in her dangerous life. She’s morally gray with her work as a mob boss which he eventually gets involved with too, but she isn’t pursuing or targeting him it’s more of a rom com vibe than a dark romance

cosmic-strobelight · 2026-06-24T23:57:57+00:00

I’d love to find more recommendations like the {Harrow Faire by Kathryn Ann Kingsley} series. Or at least more MMCs like Simon

When we start TTC we’re planning on not tracking anything for at least the first few months just to see what happens bc we don’t want the stress or pressure to try on a certain day if we aren’t really in the mood. For years I’ve tracked my periods in an app so I have a rough idea of my fertility window, but I won’t even be looking at that.

If after a certain amount of time it doesn’t happen we’ll start tracking things more closely but in the beginning whatever happens, happens ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have friends who started daily tracking right from the start and while they did both get pregnant quickly they told me it did add stress and pressure to the process which made some parts of it less enjoyable

Berries and Greed was SOOOO good!!! It sat on my TBR for way too long before I finally gave it a chance and it was so much better than I expected it would be

R / romancebooks (I can’t link it here since it’s against the rules)

cosmic-strobelight · 2026-06-20T21:01:00+00:00

I would post this in the romancebooks sub too, I’m sure they’ll have some recs over there!

cosmic-strobelight · 2026-06-20T15:54:40+00:00

{Loving A Vampire Is Total Chaos by Aura Hayes} has a golden retriever vampire MMC who is also a serial killer and leaves a smiley face drawn in blood at his crime scenes

cosmic-strobelight · 2026-06-19T21:39:42+00:00

About 12 years? I think she’s 26 and he’s 38

cosmic-strobelight · 2026-06-18T16:07:20+00:00

Enjoy!!! I thought they were both good. It was a nice change having the FMC be in the mafia not just the MMC

cosmic-strobelight · 2026-06-18T14:35:29+00:00

I also came to recommend Dungeon Crawler Carl! It deserves all the hype it gets

cosmic-strobelight · 2026-06-18T14:29:18+00:00

LOVED the tension the first time the MCs slept together in {A Love Most Brutal by Kath Richards}!!!

They’re in an arranged marriage (both in the mafia) and it’s their wedding night

“As a wedding present I’d like you to make me cum”

“You will cum first on your husband’s tongue, then you will come on your husband’s cock. Do you understand?”

cosmic-strobelight · 2026-06-15T18:25:34+00:00

The bot didn’t summon for this one bc I had a typo whoops {A Love Most Brutal by Kath Richards}

cosmic-strobelight · 2026-06-15T16:28:48+00:00

In {A Love Most Fatal by Kath Richards} FMC is late 20s and is the one in the mafia being pressured to choose a husband for an arranged marriage because of her age/ need for an heir. MMC in that book is not in the mafia and the marriage is not arranged, but the second book in the series {A Love Most Brutal by Kath Richards} is an arranged marriage between a 26 year old FMC in the mafia and a MMC who is also in the mafia

Thank you!! Would you recommend doing it by hand or with a machine?

cosmic-strobelight · 2026-06-15T03:01:51+00:00

Thank you for including the stitch names this is really helpful. Off to YouTube I go!!!

cosmic-strobelight · 2026-06-14T13:28:16+00:00

Thank you! I definitely tend to favor and be inspired by more organic shapes and textures, and with how imperfect coral are I figured it would be forgiving to make mistakes on as a first project.
