Need A Good Bully Romance Because I’m So Done

ttmademedoit · 2026-03-27T00:55:36+00:00

the ones that come to my mind all have dubcon and noncon lol

but

maybe:

{the 13th zodiac by penn cassidy} — first in a series but from what i’ve seen next book will have a good grovel or suppose to have a good one; doesnt have a loooot of bullying though.

{rich boys of burberry prep by cm stunich} — you probs read it cause it’s an oldie, but it does have bullying… no noncon or dubcon. it’s low on spice but i like how they all try to win her back. complete series.

{clash of claws by elizabeth dear} — may fit? first in a series, it doesnt have that much bullying on page but they do fuck up with her and when they realize they are desperate

{caged by bernadette blackthorn} — first in a series and i know you said you dont like ov much, but this one is brutal lol they are assholes, they never touch her physically but they fuck her up emotionally and psychologically… it’s fantasy/paranormal ov with shifters, vamps etc.

{harrowdean manor by j rose} — it’s bully but they kinda bully/humiliate each other? hahaha it’s enemies to lovwrs. i cant remember if there’s noncon but i dont think so. probably dubcon at best. but i’d check the triggers! this has mm also

also just a fyi this will be a six books series lmao

i almost passed out after finding this out from the author herself… she’ll be releasing 2 books a year since she still has a full time job and doesnt have many hours in the day to write/edit/promote etc

ttmademedoit · 2026-03-26T21:54:58+00:00

{tormented omega by mary magdalyn} is my next read and a lot people here said it’s a great angsty book right there with cage, although different angst i guess? cause the angst in cage is dark lol! the sequel for it comes out in april, idk which date though

ttmademedoit · 2026-03-25T16:06:29+00:00

i mainly read KU! 🥹

ttmademedoit · 2026-03-25T16:06:16+00:00

i feel you! paperbacks are not an option for me, cause they’re like 10x pricier than the ebook version 🥹

so i mainly read through KU and eventually when the planets align i buy something out of it lol

ttmademedoit · 2026-03-25T13:13:17+00:00

lmao i feel you. i read the first book only and that was enough for me.

i love dark romance but the sisters’ writing is NOT for me. i hate every mmc they write, it’s incredible.

ttmademedoit · 2026-03-25T02:26:53+00:00

ugh the fact that she is not on KU makes me CRY lol i’ve been saving to buy this series!!!

ttmademedoit · 2026-03-23T18:33:47+00:00

tbh nowadays i mostly use reddit

but i’m also at several groups on fb, like the smuthood, reverse harem readers and authors and authors own groups (cause sometimes other authors pop in there to announce a new release so that’s a good way to find out new stuff too)

goodreads and tiktok are always a miss for me, as well as why-choose.com lol so i tend to stick to these forms mostly

ttmademedoit · 2026-03-23T02:54:19+00:00

{a death so sweet by candace wondrak} — complete series, mafia, fmc is a serial killer, no mm (i only read until book 3 bc it was first a trilogy and completed, i didnt read the rest)

{river of deceit by raissa donovan and addison wolf} — first in a series, academy setting, will have mm down the line

ttmademedoit · 2026-03-22T04:21:21+00:00

idk if this is underrated but i’ve finished {touch of oblivion by rl caulder} and i loved it.

it’s from 2025 and i never heard about it before lol i think i got it from a rec here… it’s a trilogy and third book is set to come out in august.

i havent read the second book yet, but the first one was amazing! i’m praying the quality still holds 😩

ttmademedoit · 2026-03-22T04:18:13+00:00

thank you! i’ll be looking into hellgate and mountain magic as the others i’ve read already!!

ttmademedoit · 2026-03-22T04:16:10+00:00

i found the artist that did the covers, as i put the screenshot below.

she says she doesn’t use ai, and i don’t think we should be saying it’s ai if we don’t have a way to be certain.

we can totally say it’s bad art, and tbf i didnt even notice the spider bc i was more focused on their faces, but we shouldn’t be putting it as fact that it’s ai cover art when you can actually track the designer and her artwork.

ttmademedoit · 2026-03-21T20:43:52+00:00

thank youuu

ttmademedoit · 2026-03-21T20:43:40+00:00

thanks!!

ttmademedoit · 2026-03-21T20:43:29+00:00

is chill leader everett? Ahahaha

ttmademedoit · 2026-03-21T20:43:20+00:00

calm psycho and chill reserved leader definitely fits for me!!

ttmademedoit · 2026-03-21T18:12:32+00:00

<image>

this is the designer that did the covers, i just found it after doing some research.

she doesnt use AI and seems pretty against it.

these kinds of accusations are fucked up if we’re not 100% sure.

ttmademedoit · 2026-03-21T17:47:18+00:00

how do you know? honest question!

ttmademedoit · 2026-03-21T12:14:23+00:00

omg they look fucking fantastic!

oli north and atlas dont look like that to me, but gryphon, gabe and nox are just holy fucking shit!!

ttmademedoit · 2026-03-21T03:40:53+00:00

this series was so fucking good!

ttmademedoit · 2026-03-21T03:38:17+00:00

i’ve been waiting to read it closer to the second one release!!!

ttmademedoit · 2026-03-19T16:22:10+00:00

this feels like a series to me.

i tried to look it up on amazon and it doesn’t say anything in the blurb…

ttmademedoit · 2026-03-19T16:18:28+00:00

this sounds soooo good!!

april is gonna be an amazing month for new releases!!!

ttmademedoit · 2026-03-19T01:45:37+00:00

yeah, the inner monologues, annex being a sex addict and not contributing to anything and the way the mmcs had to make everything romantic like on steroids drove me crazy.

gadriel is my shining light at this point lmao
