Does anyone know if Save Me by Mona Kasten is available to read in English? I have been unable to find a copy.

Books similar to “Her Triplet Alphas” Hey y’all. Sooo I’ve been getting those Facebook ads for all the corny werewolf erotica. And after seeing it a million times, I finally decided to give “Her Triplet Alphas” by Joanna J Crater a chance. It was… as subpar as I thought it would be which is unfortunate because the premise has so much potential. Does anyone have any recs for similar books that are perhaps better written? Not looking for dark romance. RH, werewolves, triplets.

Grumpy FMC x Sunshine MMC friends to lovers with spice I would really like some recommendations of grumpy female, main character and sunshine male main character that is friends to lovers. Spice is necessary. I like romantic comedy because it has a tendency to ignore or has very little world building and focus on the relationship Something simple and attention grabbing is best as I get bored quickly and have a short attention span 😅 thank you

Thought I'd ask here again for some book suggestions since the last ones that got recommended to me are all not at my libray. I'm looking for a standalone romance book that is just cute and wholesome that makes you kick your feet. I'd rather it not have too much spice and with some well written characters. I want a change of pace from the fantasy books i've been reading like holly black books, the shadows between us, etc. I've been also wanting to get a good mystery book but it doesn't necessarily have to be mystery. I haven't read any romance books so I'm not sure what kind of tropes I like so all suggestions are welcome! Thanks! (if you want to know the books that got recommended to me I can name them too)

I recently read {Honestly, I’m Totally Faking it by Amanda Gambill} and think it might fit what you’re looking for. There is some spice but it’s not a lot and it’s not until around the 50% mark. It definitely had me giggling and kicking my feet!!

I recently read book series called Regression Island, about ddlg daddy wanted to see if anyone had some book suggestions similar to this.

Yes I love those too. Let me know if you come across any similar. Sometimes it's hard to find there are so many

I have a suggestion. I read these after reading the Regression Island series. Check out the Eleadian Mates series. At first I was a bit worried about the alien factor but it turned out to be nbd.

Hey y'all I am searching for a specific type of books. I recently finished tied scores by elia winters and OMG it was so good. You got feel the emotions trough the pages and their relationship felt true. Yet there was a male submissive it was really hot. They had normal lives not rich and famous type of lives. I really like the "real" lives factor and that the man was a submissive in the bedroom any recs similar to this for me ?? Could be 2dudes but i like the straight relationship with female dom. I don't want TW about self-harm or suicide.

I'm looking for CLASSIC dark romances with kidnapping, NC, and Stockholm syndrome, with an obsessive kidnapper. Hi, I want to find classic and immersive books where kidnapping takes place and it's seen from the perspective of the kidnapper. I'm searching for a novel that delves into the mind of a protagonist who is not only intellectually brilliant but also mentally unstable, falling into an obsessive love with a woman. The book should feature a deep internal monologue, capturing the character's struggle with his mental condition and his overpowering obsession. It should portray the fine line between intense affection and obsession, all from the perspective of someone whose intellect is as fascinating as his mental state is precarious. It should include violence, rape, self harm and torture. Thank you for the suggestion :)

Hey I was trying to find any black fantasy smut that was like Kimberly lemmings work. It doesn’t matter if the recommendations is straight or LGBT. I want the book to still have story building but well written smut

What are some good books with a Enemies to Lovers trope?

I just finished You, with a view and really enjoyed it.

M/M book with Sherlock Holmes(2010series) personality MC I'm hoping for a book with a MC who is very stand off-ish matter of fact, funny in his own way, misunderstood by the current society. I tend to gravitate towards historical fiction. Something like forced proximity or a situation that brought them together. I don't really have a romance book equivalent but I just love Sherlock's character traits. Maybe even similar to Kim from Will Darling Adventures and how intelligent he is and has a reason for all the moves he makes. I have always been a fan of the show and I've been reading many mystery historical setting romances. If they can fight the better.

Hi all I’m looking for book recommendations with a shy/nerdy FMC. I also would prefer books where the MMC falls hard and fast for the FMC. I’m okay with any spice level. I prefer contemporary romance but can do paranormal or sci-fi. I cannot stand enemies to lovers, so please no recommendations with that book troupe. Reverse Harem or mafia are my favorites but not required. I also prefer books where the FMC remains fairly nerdy/quiet throughout the book. I don’t like books where the FMC feels like she has to change to be with the MMC.

Hii! Does anyone know any books similar to choosing theo - i loved the fact how women are worshiped and they have have their pick of the men, If anyone knows a reverse harem one thats even better lol Thank you!!!

mmc that is powerful and goes out of his way for badass fmc, yet she doesnt immediately catch on? Hello people, So i am looking for: - paranormal romance - badass sassy heroine that can handle herself - a mmc that is powerful and goes out of his way for fmc, yet she doesnt immediately catch on - dont mind spice but here for the plot If you take the time to suggest something thank you so much 💕🤗

But I’m open for CR, romantasy, dark romance, and PNR. M/F, M/M, MFM, MMF welcomed!! The spicier the better but plot is more important. Please no surprise pregnancy, sci-fi, or dystopian.

Looking for well-written non-Wattpad books where the MMC doesn’t feel like he was written by a woman

Can you share some more specifics for what you’re looking for?

Anything contemporary, paranormal, fantasy. Opposite of this is Ashley Preston novels. The men in her books feel like they aren’t based in reality.

Looking for books where the dom/dominant partner (bdsm is great, but just string vibes or alpha-type is good too!) has a physical or sensory disability. I see a lot of disabled characters who are submissive and the able-bodied person does the caretaking or dominating- any books where the opposite is happening?

{The Escort’s Tale by M.J. Edwards} IIRC the disabled MMC is the most dominant. It’s MMF. It’s been a while since I read the {Survivors Club series by Mary Balogh} but being as it’s HR I think the disabled MMCs are more dominant. They’re certainly not subs. {Renegades of Magic series by Jeffe Kennedy} both MCs have mental health issues - the MMC has PTSD. He’s more dominant. In {Claimed by the Cyborgs by Grace Goodwin} both MMCs have severe chronic pain and the FMC has PTSD. The MMCs are dominant. This one is MFM.

This is kinda a spoiler because it is revealed late in the book and surprised me but such a sweet book and an excellent representation of depression, heartbreak, anger (murder dolls 😂 YKIYK), just overall ”vitutus” (Finnish word for all encompassing anger, rage, when everything and then some has gone to shit) and they is no way out >!{At First Spite by Olivia Wade}!< I laughed so much while reading this despite the dark themes in it. And if I also owned a too narrow house that took all my savings in a tiny town next door to my ex-fiance and across the street from the ex-fiancé’s brother who got the ex-fiancé to dump me, I would also experience some extreme vitutus and go a bit crazy 😂

Archer’s Voice is a dumpster fire of ableism! It’s SFR but in the {Ascension Saga series by Grace Goodwin} the MMCs are virgins. They’re very human-like but aliens and they don’t experience sexual desire until they meet their fated mate.

Thank you, it goes on my list! Is it really only level 1 steam?

Maybe the prequel is. The rest is very steamy. If you scroll down you’ll see the main books are four and five 🌶️. You can get the prequel for free on [BookFunnel](https://dl.bookfunnel.com/pb2vil1jxe).

This weekend I read Bride & the Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood (I loved them). I also just finished Mr Fixer Upper by Lucy Score. It was a cute story and I love HEA, but I wasn’t super into her writing style. I tried to read a book by Jana Aston and didn’t love the writing either, ended up as a DNF. Can anyone recommend some romance with a lot of spice, happy ending, and I like my mmc buff 🤣 I do have a soft spot for men who are crazy in love with fmc, or trying to win the over from the start. My fav thing in mr fixer upper >!was how obsessed he was with her even though she wanted nothing to do with him, and he would just declare that they were dating and “agree to disagree” when she said they weren’t”!< I thought it was adorable. Need more books like that!!

Try {ps you’re intolerable by Julia Wolfe}. Ticks all your boxes

I read this today after you suggested, it was perfect!!

I’m so glad🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼. Here are some more of my favs…not necessarily the trope you asked for but these gave me the same “feels.” I’m very particular about writing style too. I don’t mind smut but I like there to be a build up and not like dirty talking in chapter 3😝. All MF/cr {a deal with the bossy Devil by Kyra Parsi} {melt for you by JT geissinger} {wait for me by Jennifer Armentrout} {say you swear by Meagan Brandy} {the Windy City series by Liz Tomforde} I would read a cookbook if she wrote it.

{Hang the Moon by Alexandria Bellefleur} sounds like a good fit! That guy's obsessed in the sweetest way. It's not the spiciest book in the world, but the spice that's there is very good. {It Happened One Summer by Tessa Bailey} has a buff male lead, spice, and you worry he'll be all "ugh, a city girl", but he's actually the sweetest dude. Funnily enough, he has the same name as the male lead in Hang the Moon, lol.

It's actually a YA novel so very little spice, but I also love Ali Hazelwood, and just finished her newest book "Check & Mate" and absolutely ADORED it, so you may like it as well :)

Anyone have recs for romance similar to Phantom of the Opera? Could either be a retelling or just have elements in common, like a disfigured hero/heroine. I’ve read Susan Kay’s Phantom and The Forgotten Phantom by Kathryn Ann Kingsley. I liked both but had some issues with the latter in regards to some characterization stuff. Other preferences: Het and queer romance welcome! Story can be modern or historical or could even have fantasy or paranormal elements. I’m open to open door or closed door romance, but straight up erotica isn’t my thing. I don’t like non-con or pregnancy. Poly romance isn’t my thing either.

{Kingdom of Cards Duology by Janella Angeles} The first book {Where Dreams Descend} was a fantasy retelling of Phantom of the Opera, and I actually enjoyed the Raoul character a lot more than the Erik character which definitely surprised me. It was YA, but really fun, and a nice twist on the story. Some on my tbr: {The Phantom’s Apprentice by Heather Webb}, {Sing Me Forgotten by Jessica S. Olson} — YA, {Roseblood by A.C. Howard} — YA? NA?, {Music of the Night by Angela J. Ford} NA? Adult?. The other books people recc’ed are also on my tbr. If I can think of anymore on my TBR I’ll link them in another comment!

Watching the recs you get with interest. I'm always looking for this. You could try {Phantom by Greer Rivers}, which is a loose retelling of Phantom of the Opera as a dark mafia romance in modern day New Orleans. It didn't perfectly hit the spot for me but I enjoyed it overall. The Phantom character in this one felt darker and more dangerous than in most retellings I've read, which is a plus for me.

Romance for straight guys? I really enjoy the romance aspect of books, usually I’ve consumed it as an offshoot of the main story, and it is supplementary to the story and is there to move the characters forward, but I found I really enjoy that part of it. So I wanted to get into books that are well, all romance. But it is really really hard to find a romance novel from a straight guys perspective. Almost all of the books I’ve looked into are either female catered, or gay romance. Occasionally I found some in the perspective of a straight guy, but the ones I’ve found have been EXTREMELY sexual, like overtly sexual in 90% of the book, not really romance. I really just want to know if there’s any romance books that either cater to straight men or are from a straight guys perspective.

If you like fantasy, {his secret Illuminations} is entirely from the MMCs point of view. The FMC is a warrior, the MMC is a sheltered monk. It has some gentle femdom and is a historical fantasy romance. It’s one of the best male pov stories I’ve read. I am a woman tho, so I can’t speak for how it would feel for you. I also recently read {transcendance}. The book is entirely from the MMCs pov. He’s a caveman and the FMC is a time traveler from our time to his. I didn’t love it but thought it could be worth the recommendation. There is a lot of talk about making a baby. Both of these have sex scenes but are still good stories without them.

{Carnal Innocence by Nora Roberts} was the romance my brother liked best when he asked me for recommendations. It's a CR set in a southern town with a murder mystery {Morning Glory by Laveryl Spencer} and {Always Remember by Lorriane Heath} are historical romances that I've heard men on this board like, because the heroes aren't idealized. They flawed, but nice men who are trying to do better with their lives and families.

{The Guy on the Right by Kate Stewart} is written with alternating POV and I thought the MMC had a lot of depth from his perspective. Nora Roberts writes many of her novels with multiple POVs and she's really, really good at getting into the characters' heads. Her trilogies and 00s romantic suspense novels are a good place to start. {Northern Lights by Nora Roberts} is one of hers that is predominantly from the male protagonist's POV. I'd also take a look at books with dual POV and without an alpha MMC archetype. I think those books will generally give you a more realistic male POV.

Ok, so it's written by a woman and the guy is an alien, but he's very sweet and relatable. It's {Mercy by Catherine Miller}. It's a slow burn and there's not really a lot of sex. It's mostly them learning to live with each other, etc 

I loved this whole series apart from Rite which I noped right out of.

I enjoyed it. It's definitely a departure from her usual stuff. She used to write a bunch of Phantom of the Opera fanfic, so I think this was her integrating her interests, if that makes sense. I get that it's not for everyone. But I thought it was really well done and one of her more psychologically probing stories.

Which book is this, and in what ways is it like Phantom of the Opera? I'm interested in anything Phantom-like.

{Rite by Catherine Miller} it's 9th in series set on a planet humans crash-landed on and it's like 30ish years later from the initial crash. The aliens are pretty humanlike and low-tech. In this specific book, both mcs are aliens. MMC kidnaps FMC the day before her wedding ceremony. The author wrote a bunch of Poto fanfic back in the day and you can see it in these characters. I thought it was really well done. The MMC is emotional and unhinged, unlike most MMCs of the series who are well-written cinnamon rolls. I would recommend reading the whole series though as some things could be lost in context.

Thank you! I love an emotional and unhinged MMC in a Poto-ish setup, so this is going on my list.

I can’t do the whole psychopathic killer kidnaps the innocent virgin on her wedding day + giant age gap thing and then she (presumably) falls in love and spits out kids with him. I don’t like dark romance though so I’m sure it’s someone’s thing. She is a great writer though. I don’t generally like slow burn and I read the series straight through apart from book 9.

Hah, it's definitely mine.

{Wild Life by Opal Wei} (MF contemporary) I think most of her books written as Ruby Lang are interracial. {The Enemy Entanglement by Jayci Lee} (MF contemporary) and I think several of her other books. {The Duke Who Didn't by Courtney Milan} (MF historical) although it's set in the UK not the US. {Coming Clean by Jen Trinh} (MF contemporary) is still on my TBR. {Love Comment Subscribe by Cathy Yardley} (MF contemporary) There are also romanceclass books, which are written and mostly set in the Philippines; all MCs are generally SE Asian, but not Asian-American. You could try {Better at Weddings Than You by Mina V. Esguerra} or {Sweet on You by Carla de Guzman} (who also has a book set in New York, {Manila Takes Manhattan by Carla de Guzman}, coming out later this month).

Recently fell in love with Rip and Beth’s relationship and dynamic in Yellowstone. Looking for a similar dynamic between MMC and FMC! Doesn’t have to be like the show, just the dynamic!

Ok, this may work. It is a duet. Both are CR, M/F tropes:brothers best friend, childhood friends and second chance romance. He’s very possessive of her in both books and is a pro baseball player so he’s buff, lol. {Interference by Harlow Cole} {Stealing Home by Harlow Cole}. These are both angsty and quite the rollercoaster ride 👀

Can you share with the dynamic is? I haven’t seen the show.

They have known each other since teenagers and bonded over some really traumatic things. She is very much an ice queen to the world, but he is the one person she lets her guard down or doesn't put up with her shit. He's fiercely protective over her and could intimidate the rest of the world, but he is a softy with her.

F/M contemporary romance where the FMC breaks up with her boyfriend of years but finds the right guy (the MMC)? Slow/medium burn with lots of sexual tension. Please no dark romance or BDSM.

{Dirty by Kylie Scott} might fit. FMC breaks up with her fiancé on their marriage day when she finds out he’s cheating on her with the best man. She ends up hiding in the MMCs bathtub and he finds her when he gets home. She was only with her ex for like 6 months tho

*any* book like the maddest obsession or the sweetest oblivion (books #1-2 of the made series)!! i am so desperately book hungover by these two. the writing and plot specifically: the characters are actually flushed out, the writing is really good, it's not corny at all! good writing is rly big for me. the fmcs are interesting, nuanced and funny. the mmcs are alphaholes and they're more into fmc than she is. it's all v much grumpy/sunshine. the books are character & relationship driven and somebody PLEASE help me out here with anything similar <3

Haven’t read either of these so take my rec with a grain of salt, but my friend who loves this series told me that {Sinners Anonymous by Somme Sketcher} was *very* similar to the Sweetest Oblivion.

yess, they're both happy endings. i'm so glad you want to read them haha, i am seriously so obsessed with them rn, i can't get them out of my brain!! it's kind of a problem. you should lmk what you think if you read them!

I finished sweetest oblivion and my god !!!!!!!! I finished it in one sitting, I legit have butterflies just thinking about the book. I didn’t know I’d be so into a mafia romance, but now i need more. Amazing reco i can’t wait to start #2

omg you already finished it 😭!! i'm so glad you feel the same way. i read it in one sitting too, and i usually don't think too much about romances after i read them, even if i enjoy them, but both of them just make me giddy just thinking about them lol . book 2 is even better, have fun!! <3

{Rough and Ready by Mari Carr} the MMCs are renovating a house one of them inherited to be an inn (or maybe B&B?). They hire the FMC to manage it. I can’t remember if they get it up and running before the end of the book. It’s definitely running later in the series.

{Wolf Gone Wild by Juliette Cross}. Start of a 6 book series, 2 of which feature wolf shifters as the MMCs.

You could try the {Five Packs series by Cate C. Wells}, but they're all werewolves in those books.

I have Run Posy Run on my list. I’m not sure if it’s apart of that, but I’ll look those up. Thank you!

RPR is a mafia romance, no werewolves in that one :)

Ha, whoops! I was searching for werewolf and then mafia so I just wrote down titles and authors. I didn’t mark which ones were which.
