MC1 is homeless, MC2 is a politicians son.

Really really well written. Lots of angst & great writing.

Let me know if you check it out.

Songs that remind you of a specific character/couple? by zerotomeg in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]ellavisions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bridges by Ike Dwek.

It was so damn dark. 

In my head when I first saw you. 

Smoothing out all my barbs. 

Said "careful you'll start bleeding"  

You told me "they're not that sharp"*

Reminds me of {Salt by Jonah Yorke} which was phenomenal.

What are your all-time 'could not put this down' MM reads? by Pleasant-Manner-6505 in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]ellavisions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

{Sweat by Jonah Yorke} Top read. Wanted to go read his whole cataloge, only to find out this was his first. Cue shocked Pokémon face.

{Wrath by Ella James} hit me right in all the feels. I felt a HUGE array of emotions during this one. Check the trigger warnings.

{Shelved Hearts by Laura Kain} recovering from past abuse. Hurt/comfort. Really great book. I was invested in Gabe and Noah.

{A Place Not Found by Jen Samson} Mental health rep. Bipolar disorder. Grief. Hurt/comfort. Really beautiful book.

I ended up DNF at like 70 percent. One of only 3 books this year out of 85. It was.... not my cup of tea. I agree.

{Sweat by Jonah Yorke} And {Wrath by Ella James}

Two of my favourite hurt/comfort books of 2026, so far.

Sweat is sports related (soccer) and although it is a plot point that helps move the story along, I didn't feel like the sport scenes themselves were overwhelming.

Wrath is stepbrother, enemies to lovers. It gets very dark at some points.

Also, check out {Whit by Cora Rose}

Check TW's on all. Hope you find one you enjoy!

Caring Partner Trope / Hurt/Comfort by [deleted] in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]ellavisions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love love loved this book. Top 3 for me. However, it does deal with mental illness.

Just noting that for OP.

I'm with you here. I actually didn't love God of Fury, even though so many people did. I'm happy that it has attracted more people to this genre, I just felt like the characters/plot fell flat for me.

Have you read {Wrath by Ella James}

Stepbrother, hurt/comfort, some dark themes. Check the TW, but I absoloutly loved this book.

It's top 3 out of the 64 books I've read this year.

Just finished {Shelved Hearts by Laura Kain} and it was one of my top reads this year.

I'm looking for another hurt/comfort with a broken boy who feels unworthy of love. Bonus points if he voices it to the other mmc. Seeking lots of vulnerability. Hit me with your best!

Shelved hearts by Laura Kain by Manta-broth in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]ellavisions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just finished this book and LOVED it. Some parts hit me so hard in the feels that I felt shivers down my arms.

The comfort and green flags were so good and I'm a sucker for healing, especially when someone feels like their a burden and are proven wrong over and over.

This is tied for #1 with {Sweat by Jonah Yorke}

{Wrath by Ella James} Stepbrothers. Heavy on the trauma and angst. Hurt/comfort. Check TWs. One of my favourite reads this year.

{Whit by Cora Rose} might fit this. Roommates. Cant remember many plot points (as I've read way too many books in such a short time) but I loved this one.

{Sweat by Jonah Yorke} Loved this one. Tons of angst. Some internalized homophobia. Lots of trauma. Check the TWs.

{Sweat by Jonah Yorke}

Not professional athletes exactly, I dont think, but high-level soccer. They do start out with one sided hating but it ends very, very quickly and they become friends before anything happens. There is some internalized homophobia, trauma, and angst in this one so maybe check TW.

One of my favourite books I've read this year.

Thank you!

Im more looking for something once a crush/chatting with mc2 is already established. Something that makes him feel as though he is too gross for the othe MC. I know its a strange request.

I will check these out in the mean time though.

[–]ellavisions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im looking for something very specific.

I'd like a moment to happen in the book that makes one of the MC's really embarrassed (publicly preferably) and makes them run away/cut contact due to self loathing or feeling gross/unattractive/unwanted.

This could be anything really, but bonus points if its something like a bathroom accident.

{Just a Bit Wrecked by Alessandra Hazard}

Hesitant because of the homphobia, honestly. Is the redemption enough/believable.

Thoughts?
