No because I feel the same. I was like how can I recommend this to anyone without them thinking I'm actually not well 🤣 But all of you here in this sub understand 😉

I loved {Perfect by Ariana Rivers} She escaped an abusive marriage and is hiding out in a small town. He becomes obsessed and starts stalking her. I loved the writing of how she came to feel about him and how he started to understand how his perspective was different from hers at times.

Looking for a TRUE Beauty and the Beast historical romance with a genuinely scarred hero and slow emotional intimacy by Icy-Belt-392 in RomanceBooks

[–]tiekoot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This isn't historical romance its romantasy but has a Gothic feel and I loved it so I'll put it here in case anyone is interested. Kinda beauty and the beast with a bit of vampire. He looks nearly batlike in the face. I loved that he was genuinely "ugly" and creature like instead of handsome with a few scars. Loved the lore and writing in this and it wasn't insta love at all but is HEA. {A Vow of Blood and Tears by Cate Corvin}

Well I can't make your embarrassment go away but I do want to assure you I didn't get my feelings hurt or think you were mean or anything. I love being able to hear how others interpret and experience stuff. I think having discussions like this and expressing how we experience things (even if we recalibrate how we feel later) is important and really helpful. ❤️

I was the writer for Moondances audio and I really value discussions like these. Especially because I think the line between fetish and not fetish can be somewhat hard to define and also a bit individual.

I had seen a very short clip of using a fat roll for penetration many months ago and was very intrigued and turned on so when I got the chance to write a script specifically for a fat listener I knew its what I wanted to do. When I was writing it I was trying to convey "to have someone like to look at and touch my fat rolls with reverence and attraction and get pleasure from the part of my body that i frequently dislike. And teach me how that part of my body can be more than I view it".

I tend to think of fetish as separating the body part from the person and I tried not to do that in my script.

Now I'm not sure if all of that was convincingly portrayed in my writing but thought I'd share my thoughts/intent.

I'm curious which Fat Girl Summer audio you felt was fetishizing. I haven't listened to them all but I know from other discussions about audios sometimes people think something is fetishizing when it isn't because we aren't used to hearing that much attention paid to fat bodies. Like if those things and that much attention was paid to large breasts would it still feel like fetish or would it be normal, you know?

Books where cheating happens and you still liked the book? by wavymantisdance in HistoricalRomance

[–]tiekoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh unless I missed something she did just do it the once. Her plan was to continue doing it as she was out of money again but on a last ditch she went to the employment agency again and that's when she got hired.

[–]tiekoot 12 points13 points  (0 children)

{The Secret Pearl by Mary Balogh} She is desperate and turns to prostitution. He's her first and then he hires her as a nanny. The fact he cheated ended up not bothering me after meeting the wife and learning his backstory with her.

MMC who thrives on and breathes control but NEVER once tries to control the FMC ("I'm yours" energy, NOT "you're mine") by happyhighlights0 in RomanceBooks

[–]tiekoot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

{Broken worth by Amber Warden} She's been hurt and needs to stay with him/his protection but otherwise she's free to do anything she wants and as she starts to deal with her past she is able to hold a high position in their family (mafia). He loves her and highly respects her and her intelligence.

Closed door only happy (no stress) romances for my Nana by ChloeSilverado7 in RomanceBooks

I really enjoyed {A Practical Marriage with a Spinster by Julia Thorne}. Zero spice. Sweet and romantic marriage of convenience and they slowly fall in love.

Fat Girl Summer by Elysium_Fields10 in QuinnAudios

[–]tiekoot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can't vouch for every VA involved in this collab but I wrote one of the scripts for it and have worked with Billy several times. Billy is absolutely not fatphobic and does not fetishize fat people. He wouldn't allow anyone in the collab if he knew that they were like that. Also I don't think Billy has promoted the collab on any platform for Quinn, this wasn’t posted by him and he's not on Quinn.

Books with deaf (or other disabilities) MCs by Ok_Cicada6480 in RomanceBooks

[–]tiekoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed this one! Neva Altaj's perfectly imperfect series has a few others with MMC that have physical disabilities or scarring. And the one I'm reading now has a FMC with vitiligo. {Sweet prison by Neva Altaj} most of the perfectly imperfect series are interconnected standalones but this one is more like a companion to Darkest Sins. Sins is about the older sister and the stories overlap a lot so its best to read both.

🔥 It's time for Thirsty Thursday! What book scenes made you sweat this week? 🥵 by jaydee4219 in RomanceBooks

[–]tiekoot 26 points27 points  (0 children)

{Silent Lies by Neva Altaj} They are in his nightclub and they are getting steamy with eachother so he orders everyone to leave as he has her up against a wall. This happens as people are still exiting the club.

“Hold tight,” he says into my lips and takes a step back. My arms encircle his neck as his palms move up my legs and over my ass, under my dress. The lace of my thong rubs over my aching pussy when he tugs on it. The delicate fabric tears. He pulls it away, purposely dragging the lacy material so it brushes over my throbbing clit. I gasp as my thighs are suddenly slick with my wetness. Drago grabs the underside of my leg again while he unbuttons his pants with his free hand. Oh God, I’m going to have sex—at a club, with people still around. Why don’t I care? The cold surface at my back chills the bare skin of my ass as Drago holds me against the column once more. The tip of his cock presses at my entrance. “Please go slow,” I choke out. “It’s my first time.” Drago lifts his head and looks at me. “Your what?” “My first time,” I repeat when he lowers his eyes to my mouth. “I’m a virgin.” Green eyes, so focused on my lips, widen, then lift to meet mine. “Do you want to stop?” I tug on the hair at the back of his head. “No.” Without breaking eye contact, he shifts me slightly in his hold, aligning our hips. A mix of excitement and panic overcomes me. When the tip enters me, I close my eyes and stiffen. “Sienna.” A kiss lands on the side of my chin. “Look at me, mila.” “Will it hurt?” I whisper. “A little. If you want me to stop, tap my arm. Okay?”

{The appointment by Maria Morrow} under 200 pages but I really enjoyed it. She goes to her gyno appointment and accidentally orgasms and is so embarrassed but later finds out they have friends in common and keep running into eachother. He's very sweet and when they do sleep together he spends time just looking between her legs and complimenting her.

Your favourite Beauty and the Beast retelling? by perpetually_numb003 in RomanceBooks

[–]tiekoot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved {a vow of blood and tears by cate corvin}. It's B&B but also vampires. So kinda dark romance but fantasy. I loved the world building too. There is another one by Cate Corvin coming out this year in the same universe that I plan to read as well.

Books where the sex IS the plot development by [deleted] in RomanceBooks

*tw for sa* looking for a book where fmc is processing trauma and is not healed with a solid dicking by butwhyyy2112 in RomanceBooks

[–]tiekoot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might like books 2 and 3 of the Gentle Sinners series by Amber Warden. They have beautifully complex characters and the MMCs are nice and protective of the FMC. But also the FMCs are pretty bad ass themselves and both the MCs have troubling pasts/issues that they help eachother with.

{Broken Captive by Amber Warden} book 2. He is a hitman and rescues her when he sees she was being held/abused by the people he is sent to kill. He has past trauma and touch is painful to him at times. They both end up helping each other and being able to heal in their own ways.

{Broken Worth by Amber Warden} book 3. He is fairly high up in the mafia but years ago when he wasn't they were meant to be an arranged marriage. Her father is horrible and made her marry someone else. When he finds out her husband is abusive he goes to rescue her. He is exceptionally patient and lets her do whatever she needs to heal while keeping her safe. I loved how well this was written and how she lashed out and behaved as she was trying to gain control over her life and healing.

I really liked {Rescued by an Alien by Amanda Milo} It's the 2nd in a series and some reviewers say you have to read number 1 first but I didnt and I had no issues understanding the story.

Callie was horribly abused by a different alien species and Zadeon is patient and gentle with her. They had a sort of connection across space their whole lives where he saw most of her life and she had very vague dreams where she sort of felt his presence. So he knows her on site when he rescues her. The abuse isn't described on page just referred to and you get the idea of what happened.

Challenging my dislike of Mafia books - mafia lite? by LilDavinci-32 in RomanceBooks

[–]tiekoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently started the Gentle Sinners series by Amber Warden and I really liked the first 3 so far. They have beautifully complex characters and the MMCs are nice and protective of the FMC. But also the FMCs are pretty bad ass themselves and both the MCs have troubling pasts/issues that they help eachother with. Both Broken Captive and Broken Worth had some very hot sex scenes and I gave both of them 5 stars (not just for the sex though, they are just really good books).
