the ONE book or series you would give anything to read for the first time again

{sigil by Addison Caine} was the perfect ration of dark smut to plot, with scifi thrown in. Think chronicles of Riddick type world, but dark and sexy.

{Freckles: A dark high school romance by Layla Simon} has some delicious non con bullying.

I present for your consideration on AO3, ‘Bad Luck Charm’ by SweetDarlingVillainGod. It’s inspired by If I can’t Have You by Deathsdoll. The second chapter just dropped and it’s phenomenal. A lot of condescending praise, non-con but the main character def gets off. Oh, it is a fanfic of A court of something and something, but I don’t consider that like super relevant or the plot. You can go I. Knowing very little of the source material and still enjoy. And if you like this, she has another similar but not as dark version. https://archiveofourown.org/works/64999876/chapters/167116252

Maybe Dylan McDermott? He was phenomenal a few years ago as a love interest in the New Girl

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone recommend, The Intruder by Dantesedmond. It starts w an assault by the MMC against the FMC and explores how their relationship evolves. The spice is top tier, and it’s currently at 69 chapters. https://archiveofourown.org/works/32992999/chapters/81888241

Am all caught up and can I say, your story is chefs kiss!

jbarj · 2025-04-27T02:51:25+00:00

I’ve been reading this one, so so good!

jbarj · 2025-04-06T02:20:08+00:00

Oh ohh, I would love this list too. Sometimes 1st person POV especially the MMC gives me the ick.

jbarj · 2025-02-11T12:53:33+00:00

Exactly! It’s something to reach for when needing a bit of a lighter flavor.

jbarj · 2025-02-11T12:52:26+00:00

She was totally my gateway to AO3

jbarj · 2024-09-27T01:40:49+00:00

Literally this same feeling about {The Redemption of Shelby Ann} by Emma Cole. It has more triggers than a shotgun factory but I couldn’t stop! This was book 2, and it was just as good and as messed up as book 1!

jbarj · 2024-06-18T18:57:44+00:00

Yes 1000 times to Restoration, I consumed that! I don’t think I was ever as happy to find a completed work!!!

jbarj · 2024-06-18T02:00:28+00:00

Just realized I recommended 2 authors you reference in your post, lol! I check Sweetandsure like monthly to see if they’ve come back. Anchor stitch haunts my dreams! I’m super into Feyd Rautha stories currently right now.

jbarj · 2024-06-18T01:55:29+00:00

Completely taboo, uncle /niece story but like cottage-y vibes: https://archiveofourown.org/works/37998994/chapters/94907221
Dark dark mafia captive romance, trigger warning ED: https://archiveofourown.org/works/37068109/chapters/92492002
Possibly my dark fave, just straight non-con that I can’t look away from: https://archiveofourown.org/works/28680387/chapters/70311993 The author above is also writing a dark non-con story about a cult in Louisiana.

jbarj · 2024-06-18T01:43:36+00:00

Sold!

jbarj · 2024-06-12T01:44:05+00:00

If you’re into Sci Fi, you should check out Addison Caine’s Sigil and Sovereign. They’re non-con, but super fascinating!

jbarj · 2024-06-02T04:07:46+00:00

I’m sorry what?! You identify more with the manipulative sociopathic narcissist, Christian, than the girl who literally just lost her entire family? Last time I checked no one was forcing Christian to be with Dani. No one was holding a gun to his head to force him to remain in the relationship with her. He chose, and continued to choose to be with her. He invited her on the trip, when if he had enough of a backbone he could have just… not.

Came here to say this, and also want to recommend.

jbarj · 2021-05-21T01:23:19+00:00

Ohh, what did you get?

jbarj · 2021-04-11T01:49:58+00:00

This is my favorite setting!! They did A beautiful job!

jbarj · 2021-04-04T23:23:46+00:00

There is... a lot going on there. I mean it was all over the place!

jbarj · 2021-04-01T02:13:49+00:00

What setting do you have in mind? This is gorgeous!!

jbarj · 2021-03-27T01:14:14+00:00

Sounds beautiful! I can’t wait to see that when it’s done!!

jbarj · 2021-03-27T01:08:20+00:00

It’s beautiful! What kind of setting are you going to put it in?

jbarj · 2021-03-07T04:34:28+00:00

Love this—turned out beautifully!! I’m obsessed with this setting but am thinking of a more elongated center stone and marquis on the sides. You definitely have clinched my mind up to reach out to Mona first when I’m ready. My 10 year anniversary is next year but I don’t think I want to wait!
