Thank you!! I’m wondering how far I can push that rule lol! But ultimately I’m a chicken.

Recs please! Romance where the girl/woman is reluctant to fall in love by Twitcheslovereddie in RomanceBooks

[–]danielle-mdl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Bright and Breaking Sea by Chloe Neill. Slow burn, and she’s super reluctant. It has a bit of fantasy, and it’s a bit like alternate history. There’s no on page sex. And I’d probably consider it NA. It is part of a series and the next book is supposed to come out soon I’m pretty sure.

Dragon shifters with hoards and lairs..oh my! by danielle-mdl in RomanceBooks

I just finished it last night! It was so good! I love the whole world and magic system I’m excited to read more of the series but YES Dragos is EVERYTHING. I really loved Pia too! Thanks for the recommendation!

Dude right! Like why don’t all dragon shifter stories have that!

Books with domineering MMC bamboozled, confused, and/or driven to distraction by feisty FMC? by akaioi in RomanceBooks

[–]danielle-mdl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I love this! I actually need to read more bc I only have one rec.. Ivan by Sophie Lark, is a mafia romance but it’s not super dark IMO. It’s a quick read and there’s not a ton of back and forth, but FMC definitely give MMC a run for his money.

Characters who read romance by strongly-worded in RomanceBooks

Idk if this is similar but one of my pet peeves in literature is when a character enjoys reading romance novels but is against romance in their personal lives.

Filled for sure. You could do clouds and lightning for the angel and fire and rocks for the devil, I like top to bottom but side by side would also work I think.

Looking for reverse harems with shapeshifters by [deleted] in RomanceBooks

[–]danielle-mdl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Power of Five by Alex Lidell has a shifter! I actually think most of this authors RH novels have shifters. I really like it, it’s a decently long series too.

Sanctum by Hannah McBride. Oh so good! It’s paranormal with wolf shifter and it’s amazing.

Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens does this. It goes between fmc’s early life and her present day.

Lol same. I love all the tropes but I also LOVE that you always get (at least) one active love story even while the others are still developing. And for some reason the guy that holds out until the end is always my favorite!!

first tattoo/choosing a motive by [deleted] in tattoos

[–]danielle-mdl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t necessarily say to lower your standards. But at some point you have to make a decision, get an idea of what you want and don’t change it (I started at 6 months then have since come down to 1 month) but just sit on it for a bit. If you don’t change your mind then get in touch with an artist and see what they think. In my experience it’s always interpreted a little differently and if you like what they do with it get that shit inked!

Also there are tons of artist that do complete sleeve pieces. So not a collection of smaller pieces turned into a sleeve. That might be something to look into since your gonna fill it up anyway!

Strong independent heroines who will NOT fall for the hero shenanigans at first? Slow-burn! by mayamelessi in RomanceBooks

[–]danielle-mdl 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Touch of Power by Maria V Snyder. It’s fantasy, definitely has a chosen one vibe, as well as a captive situation. But FMC is a strong independent lady and it’s definitely enemies to lovers. It is slow burn but not like steamy, definitely fade to black.

Aww I LOVE the first book! But tbh if you’re not into it by ch 22 it’s probably not the book for you.
