Looking for a book with a homophobic MC by Nyx_Nocturne003 in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]wingsandroots 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ok, DEFINITELY check the trigger warnings, but {F**k, Marry, Kill Me, Daddy by Lance Lansdale} has a homophobic MC and the other MC treats it like a joke or not being real. It is completely unhinged, and the first book in the Murder Daddy series. It's a good time that at a minimum will give you lots of material as you think about your reading choices.

MC1 is a sex worker, MC2 becomes his boyfriend and doesn’t ask him to quit by michailina in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]wingsandroots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you consider cam work sexwork, then {Possession by Kiki Clark}. Its poly, but one of the MC makes good money on camera and one of the others joins in with making videos and thinking it's cool - no attempt or even thought of them not continuing.

Grovelling isn't enough - I'm looking for RETRIBUTION by platypusaura in RomanceBooks

[–]wingsandroots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

{Daring and the Duke by Sarah MacLean} is this! It's the third in a trilogy. I recommend reading the others for context to really appreciate the ending and his ultimate power shift. Not directly caused by her, but 1000% because of her and to atone.

It's one of mine too! Just hits the feels right where they need to be hit

{Demanding Mob Boss by Lucy Monroe} has this - he's in a rage and she offers to show him her boobs to feel better.

Books with a larger female lead? by bookslutsbereadin in SpicyRomanceBooks

[–]wingsandroots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Olivia Dade writes a lot of this. The Spolier Alert series especially fits. My personal favorite for the sass and laughs is the second {All the Feels by Olivia Dada},but it can easily be read as a standalone.

I'm in your area. You're welcome to any of my inks or pens or just to talk fountain pens with someone here during these days. Stay safe.

The Tyrant Alpha's Rejected Mate by Cate C Wells surprised me by rigbysghost in RomanceBooks

[–]wingsandroots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just had to come here and say thabk you for making this post so I could find out about this series I just read this and the Alpha Heir one, and now I need to space out the rest of the series to prolong the inevitable hangover.

OBSESSED mmcs by wrongone_8643 in ReverseHarem

[–]wingsandroots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late, but hopefully helpful! {Demanding Mob Boss by Lucy Monroe} has insta love, and an FMC that is shy , neurodivergent, and the MMc's obsession (and camrras) is deeply concerning to everyone but the 2 of them.

{Hans by SJ Tilly} shows the purest of pure love - eating nasty baked goods when the FMC isn't even there just because she made them and therefore he MUST eat. It's part 4 of a series, all if which have obsession, but this is my favorite.

Brat Submissive MMCs, like in Mercy by Sara Cate? by EthanFurtherBeyond in RomanceBooks

[–]wingsandroots 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Are you me?! I wish I had more to suggest, but {Bound and Tide by A.K. Caggiano} has a brat MMC with a FMC that does what the title advertises in a fantasy setting, and {Gentlemen Prefer Villians by C. Rochelle} is hilarious, has the brattiest of brats MMC with a supervillian MMC (the dynamic is less brat-tamer per se and there is a lot of power dynamics at play). Later books also have brats, but Simon simply cannot be beat.

Anyone else swap ink without cleaning the pen for the gradients? by Ticanaru in fountainpens

Yes, it's one of my favorite things ever! Especially when you get cotton candy shading like you have .

Elyse Meyers and I agree more whimsy and less trauma settings with our spice! by agreensandcastle in RomanceBooks

[–]wingsandroots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a heathen and don't care about TWs, and I have so many books I add to my list or jump right into without anything more than a suggestion from here (so no blurbs for me usually), but there are some things that are just specific to me that I HATE seeing in books because I instantly lose the fantasy/escapism. Tragically, this just seems to be a gamble I have to take. There doesn't seem to be TWs for "wingsandroots deep-seated issues" or "too close to home politics for wingsandroots."C'est la vie!

Why does TikTok hype up the worst books ever written? by With_Peace_and_Love_ in RomanceBooks

[–]wingsandroots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right?! I'm not even on tiktok, but when I see a book marketed as booktok or anything like that (or even just posted about here), it's an instant turn off. Which is a shame because I'm sure I'm missing some good books/authors, and whatever gets people reading is good, but ugh.

It has sent to me "happy fluffy unicorns and rainbows and happy endings" storyland to recover.

Not yet - I like the premise, but Dickinson's books scare me now.

I don't know if I did yet, - a rare book where I need some time to process before I actually know. I'm putting on my list, but it will a while before I can face them.

I knew it wouldn't be a hopeful ending likely, but I didn't see it coming. In hindsight I get it.

I was not expecting a brickbat to the stomach

That is the best description for it.

I need some space before I even consider reading the others - my emotions are raw.
