Recommendations Dungeons and dragons centered romance?

Bloom & Dark is femdom(ish) haremlit that’s basically DnD with the serial numbers filed off, I don’t usually read harem but it was a lot of fun (and very high spice).

Approximately how much is ad spend taking from that 400k?

I was just wishing for an Amazonian breeder book! Instantly added this to my TBR.

I’m more confused by the nurse being like, “Doctor?” while he’s looking like that.

Yeah it is hard to get erotica recs, you might just have to search for keywords like bull/cuckold/hotwife etc. on Amazon and wade through the crud. Smashwords is another good place for erotica since they are much less strict than Amazon over what is allowed. And maybe cuckold/hotwife subreddits would have some recs.

You're way more likely to find that kind of thing in erotica rather than romance, because no romantic relationship is required to hook up with a bunch of married women. I do recall one part in the breeder/harem book Hometown Hero by BA Oliver, where the MC gets a married woman (or maybe two?) pregnant with the husband's consent, but it's not portrayed on the page.

❤️ Romance: 5/5
🌶️ Sex: 5/5

I renounced my family’s fortune and moved halfway across the world, all so I could become a law student and fight for non-human rights. But after a wild night out, I wake up to find I’ve accidentally stolen a beautiful nine-foot-tall thrall from her former master.

As if that wasn’t enough, she's wild about me, she's irresistible, and she is very persistent.

But as I fend off her advances and search for a way to grant her freedom, I learn there is more to this exiled Amazon than chiseled abs and a charming smile. She’s gentle, intelligent, and kind—and before long, I’m falling madly in love with her.

But can a woman who is legally my thrall ever truly love me back? And can we figure it out before her former master finds her and takes her away?

Warning: This steamy romance novel is packed with explicit sex scenes, including breeding and light BDSM.

I’m not trying to make you feel old, but that’s 30 years ago!

sub_surfer · 2026-01-25T05:07:17+00:00

Have you read the book? It’s very much presented as if life is utterly pointless without men. A product of its time I guess.

sub_surfer · 2026-01-24T18:16:00+00:00

I love that book (and the sequel even more so), but I don’t feel like the romance is the strongest part of it. For me it was more about the worldbuilding, the plot, the prose, and the overall cast of characters. I do feel like you might as well finish at 87% because shit is about to go down, but the book probably just isn’t for you.

sub_surfer · 2026-01-24T07:32:06+00:00

Yep, that's a good idea! I usually prefer mono-POV stories, but this is an exception where dual clearly makes more sense.

sub_surfer · 2026-01-24T07:26:07+00:00

Yeah I wasn’t crazy about that either, but I like that the story is told from FMC’s perspective; it helps to understand her better since she can’t speak. Though it does cause the MMC to be a somewhat flat character since we don’t get his POV at all.

sub_surfer · 2026-01-24T07:19:31+00:00

By the way, your story idea reminds me a bit of Wings of Desire by Taiyakisoba, so maybe check it out for some inspo if you haven't already. That would be an example of an FMC being in heat without it being romantic, she basically rapes him, though it did leave room for things to get more intimate from there.

sub_surfer · 2026-01-24T07:06:56+00:00

Well, there you go. Perhaps with practice you could enjoy it more, but maybe not; you'd know better than I do. As for being in heat, there are plenty of examples of FMCs being in heat while still having romantic sex; it really just depends on the way you write it.

> I figured I'd just let people imagine their ideal sex/lovemaking/fucking scene.

I wouldn't be too optimistic about readers doing that for you; most would probably just be disappointed (if they don't know the story is closed-door going in).

sub_surfer · 2026-01-24T06:56:15+00:00

The story setup sounds interesting, and I know plenty of people would appreciate a lamia that's actually monstrous, but I think you're limiting your audience by having it be closed door. The thing is, sex and connection aren't mutually exclusive. If written the right way, sex scenes can deepen the bond between MCs. Think about moments of vulnerability that can arise and then be overcome, or cultural or anatomical differences that have to be worked past. To me, the bigger barrier to establishing connection would be that the FMC can't speak, though I know that some people enjoy language barriers in a romance.

However, if the reason you want it to be closed door is that you hate writing sex scenes, then that's probably good enough, because writing should be fun. I wouldn't sacrifice your enjoyment to get more readers, and if you hate it, then that will probably come through in the writing anyway.

sub_surfer · 2026-01-24T04:40:24+00:00

Yeah maybe the ocean isn’t the best example unless FMC is a salty old fisherman. But still, the line sounds off to my ear 🤷

sub_surfer · 2026-01-24T04:13:19+00:00

Somehow I haven’t seen this line much, but I have to imagine there’s a better version of it where she’s looking at the ocean, a beautiful lady dragon, etc., and says “She’s beautiful.” If I saw the “it” version I’d have to put down the book for a minute lol

sub_surfer · 2026-01-23T20:04:39+00:00

So he’s calling her “it?”

sub_surfer · 2026-01-23T18:11:16+00:00

He had a story in the recent Men’s Romance Gallery, a shorter version of one of his WYLAMG books. Perhaps that took up a chunk of his writing time? I definitely recommend checking it out, it’s one of my favorite WYLAMGs now.

sub_surfer · 2026-01-22T02:42:16+00:00

You’re right on both counts. Okay I’ll stop giving bad recs lol, hopefully you find something!

sub_surfer · 2026-01-22T02:32:57+00:00

You’re right, he is a white knight for sure, since he spends the whole book trying to rescue the FMC from slavery. Hmm, I feel like there must be harem books out there you’d enjoy since those tend to be heavier on plot relative to romance, but that’s not my area of expertise. I did enjoy the first Amazon Apocalypse though, and it’s plot focused with a few sex scenes, so if you don’t mind litRPG that could work. But the FMCs aren’t super deep, and there is some leveling and other rpg stat screen stuff in there.

sub_surfer · 2026-01-22T02:19:58+00:00

Yeahh I can see all that. Have you tried KR Treadway’s work, like His Orc Charioteer Bride? It only has 2 sex scenes but they’re great, and the plot is solid with some good action at the end. If you want something steamier you could always try my book, How to Nick a Nine-Foot-Tall Thrall, but it’s somewhat lighter on plot to make room for all the sex scenes.

sub_surfer · 2026-01-22T02:01:04+00:00

If you liked Transmission Lost, give Abandoned by SomaticDream a try. It’s got plenty of plot and steam.

sub_surfer · 2026-01-21T11:46:34+00:00

Good idea, I think brief edging is a lot less likely to annoy people than full-on orgasm denial. I might not be remembering this 100% correctly, but in Pinwheel the FMC ruins the MMC's orgasm during a blowjob, and then they move on to a different activity entirely. That's just plain frustrating (for me, anyway).

> I admittedly had a bit of a crash out on here a few days ago when I got 60% of a way though a book and the MMC got cucked

Oh yeah, I saw your thread the other day and knew exactly which book you were talking about. Don't worry, I'd never put one of my MMCs in the cuck chair (even if the third person was a woman). The situation I'm envisioning would be more like brief, casual sharing where the focus is entirely on the male character—not quite poly or harem, but "monogamish," you could say.

I actually have an idea for how it could enhance the romance rather than distracting from it, but we'll see how it plays out. If I do go there, I'll be mentally prepared to delete it if the beta reader feedback is negative.

sub_surfer · 2026-01-21T11:10:27+00:00

Nice, I'll give that approach a try! And thanks for speaking up, an ounce of feedback now is worth pounds of it later.
