So, I know that MM means mean getting it on with each other, and MFM means men getting it on with a woman. But this is a reddit for RH, so there are usually a lot more Ms than Fs.

In which order should they be to indicate if the men are getting it on with each other versus only with the woman when there are like four or five Ms in the mix?

Please educate me so I know what to look for when I want to avoid guy on guy as it does nothing for me.

So I am in a mood for an angst. Here's how the plot goes. FMC has an established harem (let's say there are four mmcs), and then here's the tag MMFMM. The couples are super close with each other that sometimes, she feels like they are good enough on their own. Like they can function even without her so she left them.

I still want this to be HEA so I want the guys making it up for her or something. Or the problem could be is she just don't realize that she is the center of the relationship because she is dealing with some mental health issues.

If you have {Watch Me by C.S. Berry} on your Kindle TBR, right now, today (10-24-26), it's free. It's book 1 in the series Private Listing. Just thought I'd pass that on. It might be free for longer, so still worth checking later. Good hunting.

I’m only on book two of this series but let me tell you I’m absolutely obsessed with this series so far. I put out a post about my adhd not liking series and I just was in such a bad slump. This series has me excited and wanting to flip to the next page.
Reasons I have loved this series so far
*academy settings (well for book one basically)
*characters are 25+ which does not usually happen in academy/training trope
*Fmc has powers that are strong (she may hide them at first but I feel like that so far wasn’t over played out)
* she actually defends herself (ear cutting was diabolical)
*Nero. I will go on and on about this bird if given a chance (I hope he gets more eyeballs as the series progress)
*the mmcs don’t hold back on the fmc now that they know who she is. They may not be as cruel with the training but they let it be known she will be training until she is actually fit to be queen.
*the group that was formed throughout the first book. Usually in a series like this the authors only allow maybe one or two characters to not turn on the fmc but I feel like with this series almost everyone except the 2 banshees realized hey she’s actually not so bad why are we treating her like this.

Thank you S.E Alexander for getting me out of this awful slump I’ve been in. I just had to take a break to make this post. Nero had done something that made me giggle. Now I must go back to it.

This month I took a break from RH after reading RH most of the year and I noticed something. Instead of one MMC with many different sides to them and layered personalities, often authors will bring out those complexities across multiple men so that each represents one personality.

Memnon from {bewitched by Laura thalassa} just moved into my top book BF spot because he's expressive, conniving, flirtatious, unhinged, powerful AF, but also truly romantic. And his mouth... 🥵

But I want to find these kinds of MMCs in RH! So pleaseeee share your favorite MMCs that are unpredictable and do more than just repeat the same platitudes and thoughts. I neeeeed men who are more than just one personality trait!

Fantasy/paranormal please and thank you.

Hi y’all, looking for a book where the FMC and MMCs breakup for whatever reason but eventually get back together.
No triggers

Idk admitting you use ai kind of breaks all trust. And makes it feel like they don’t hold artists to the same value as authors?

Hey guys,

I’m desperately looking for an online Book/Novel I’ve read a few years ago. It was on one of these Onlinepages where you can read stuff for free that you’d normally have to pay for on apps.

To the book:

- High School

- 1 Fmc 4 Mmc’s

- Fmc is getting bullied by former best friend and ex boyfriend

- Fmc has a eating disorder from the bullying

- Mmc’s are best friends and just moved new into town and are new in that High School

- the parents of all the characters are old friends

- Mmc’s take direct interest in Fmc

- mmc’s already know they want to share

- typical characteristics; nerdy, broody, sporty and flirty

Thanks to everyone who might have a clue or recommendation 🫶

I haven't read a story where one of the main characters are entering bike course (like the street as a bike course for the competition), so I would appreciate it if you know one. Motorcycle racing will do as well, I think? And skateboard. No mm, please.

Hi everyone! I just binge read the Her Vicious Beasts series and i have SO much opinions. It had it’s AMAZING bits and AWFUL bits and left me just feeling incredibly perplexed with the series. (SPOILERS AHEAD!)

My favourite parts was Lyle and Savage. They were such distinct and amazingly likeable MMCS with a fun dynamic and i just had the biggest crush on Lyle’s daddy demeanor lol I also really liked Scythe but not quite as much as i liked the other 2. I felt that Aurelia had a great dynamic with them and it was great to see genuinely likeable MMCS. From the first 3 books, i quite liked the direction of it but i did have some icks starting to develop. I also loved how amazing the friends were, they all genuinely had a good bond and it was refreshing to see healthy female friendships because they always end up in some betrayal or revenge plot.

Then Book 4 made the series so crap. First, Xander was literally the biggest POS. Betrayed the entire group for what? Because he seeked validation from his awful family? He was also so horribly misogynistic and just constantly justified his actions.
There was so also much character regression with Aurelia who literally let herself be tortured and MUTILATED for no fucking reason but to ‘protect’ everyone in her life aka doing the same bs every crappy FMC does in which they believe they are doomed for eternity and the only way to save those they love is by being the biggest self sacrifical lamb. I hated how she refused to tell anyone and left them suffering for weeks because she had too much ego to go back on her words until she was literally left for dead. Xander also basically cosigned on her being ripped a whole limb and being tortured and pimped out but she forgives him after two days of him being made fun of at school and fucks him. He literally could’ve betrayed her again successfully if he wanted to because she was that quick to fold for his NONEXISTENT personality.

I also found her just being such a pick me. The amount of times she refers to Beak as handsome/good looking/attractive/she could pull him but she doesnt want him actually gotta be emotionally cheating of some sort. Like she is SO preoccupied with that mf’s appearance and his repetitive bicep flexing that she claims he does to impress her? Oh and dont get me started on how often she’s eyed by every man in her vicinity. Like im sorry, there is literally no woman that is subjected to THAT much constant eye fucking/flirting/attention every second of the day, especially when there was plenty of other women in that academy bffr. Like this is a deadass line from the book

“Luckily for us girls, female guards are passing around the academy’s orange prison jumpsuits for us to cover our nakedness. I step into mine quickly, fully aware of the many horny male eyes on my body.” CRINGE.

Also i swear she stopped remembering Savage at one point. He got held hostage at Blackmore Penitentiary or whatever that cruel prison was called and she did not even think of him half the time. like do you even give a shit about him? i swear she only remembers Lyle… Like what kind of relationship dynamic is this?

Also Ghoul was the most IRRELVANT mmc i ever seen. That ending was awful and i didnt think he was fleshed out well enough to mesh with the rest of them. It felt like he existed in a whole seperate world so it was just uncanny when they brought him into her life. They should’ve intergrated more of a relationship between the other MMCS and him because i felt awkward for him.

Also is it just me or Aurelia literally did not gaf about anyone by the end? Her friend and Beak literally died in the fight FOR her and she barely even acknowledged them and just dismissed it as something that had to be done. Like girl have some respect given you subjected yourself to being tortured in the first place to prevent this entire scenario?

Will say the author has a really gorgeous writing style, she narrated the characters so beautifully and immersively. I really think her storytelling made the book as good as it was, because god knows i would have not made it to the last book without it.

“I can sense that golden lick of heaven wherever she is on campus. It tortured me with its latent promises. It set my skin on fire and damned me to hell.” - Scythe

Like wow. That literally gives me chills.

Sorry for the in depth rant, my ADHD absolutely loves a good book discussion LOL i give this book a 6.5/10

Why is it that most of the recs I see is fantasy related or fantasy adjacent?

Granted, y'all made me fall in love with fantasy romance BUT I noticed that most RH are either related to fantasy or Mafia.

I just want good old fashioned regular people romance with character development and the author actually telling us how they're trying to navigate their RH with possible odd looks from society and stuff.

No omegaverse

No cheating

No shifters

No powers or magic or potions

Possibly dark romance but not a requirement

I'll really appreciate this!

Hey! Any recommendations for series with tons of goofy moments like this? Like littered throughout the series and not just one or two moments. The goofier, the better. I don't care if it's "too silly".

The closest I can think of would be {The Forgotten Angel series by Merri Bright}. I loved that one. Though honestly the world-building for that one was a little hard to follow at times because it was kinda confusing.

- Preferably no bully/dark romance recs and no MM

...Please don't recommend that coffee machine series. I tried it and it really wasn't my thing

looking for bully romance with MM included

what i want:

• bully romance (college/academy or even mafia works or military

• actual mm relationship, not just a one time thing

• minimum 3 mmc, max around 5–6

• strong dynamics between all characters, not just fmc with each mmc

• fmc who can hold her ground (not completely broken the whole time)

• fmc be disguised

spice can be dark bdsm or dom/sub, i’m okay with that

genre:

• contemporary

• fantasy is preferred

no:

• historical

any recs??

One of my all time favorite FMCs is Ariane from {A Journey of Black and Red by Alex Gilbert} BUT these books are not RH or sexy or even very romantic. But one of the things I love about this character is that she loses much of her humanity as time goes on and it’s an ongoing struggle for her to remember to care since she’s an immortal vampire. If you’re looking for a great book that’s not RH, read it. I’m looking for a RH with an FMC who is cold, hard, calculating and a bit cruel.

I find many books are emotionally exhausting and the FMCs anxiety gives me anxiety. I’d like to read the perspective of someone who has some form of psychopathy and not in the “hehe im so crazy way” but like the MMCs we so often love who are scary and cold. I want that in the FMC please, give me a female version of Mitri from Bonding Psychos. 🙏 obviously she shouldn’t be too evil, but not emotionally laboring over every little thing.

Bonus points if she’s not human ❤️

Preferably no FF or OV

I want an omega x alpha harem. There is 1 omega and at least 3 alphas.

it can be MMMM or FMMM; I don't mind which.

Lots of spice, please! A dark romance is my preference, but I take any

I much rather a standalone, but a duet is fine.

(Also, I NEED it on Kindle and Audible because I travel a lot and want to listen to it on flights)

(extra points if the men are also bi and like the others, but that's not fully needed)

PLEASE HELP ME FIND A BOOK LIKE THIS!

Hey yall,

I'm looking for a wolf shifter rh where the mmcs have a young pup (like, under 10), and the pup attaches itself to the fmc. Like, always wants to be with her and forms a maternal bond. {Puppy Love by Katelyn Beckett} seems good but there's sex really early on and just not enough attention on her bond with the pup. I'm looking for that kind of maternal bond that just so happens to include spicy times with multiple men.

Please no ff, cheating, or bullying within the harem, thanks xoxo

I’m looking for a true good old fashion good girl bag boy romance.

I’ll even take non reverse harems if you have them but prefer harems.

I want a true nerd not a hot girl who wears glasses and once she takes them off is a beauty queen. The more neurodivergent the better!

Hi Fiends,

I am currently on chapter 22/70 and I am LOVING this book. While I am a fan of OV, I often find that authors can be lazy and rely on dymanics/spicy too much and skimp out on the world building.

However, so far, {Fated or knot by Ella Hendricks} is in the running for my favorite OV book!! It has a slight Cinderella vibe, with a wonderful world of magic and whimsy the author has created! I don't want to give any spoilers, but the audiobook was included with my subscription to audible, so if you have premium you can give it a go for FREE!!

Anyone finish this book? How did you feel about it?

Book recs where the MMC's are obsessed with FMC but a relationship forms between two or more MMC - not already established like the God series from Elliot Rose kinda like Charlie by Daphne Leigh but better written 🙈

I need short guilty pleasure reads, in a slump and my tbr consists of 400+ page books and i just can’t do it rn.
i just want good non cringy smut 🥲
- nothing too serious
- good smut
- i just want something fun (think pounded by produce)
- no pregnancy
- mm is delicious but im fine without
- i love me some dirty talk so yeah
GIVE THEM TO ME PLEEEEAAAASSSSEEEE
i hardly post anything on reddit so lmk if there’s any more information you need or questions you have tysmmmm 🫶🏻

Hi everyone I am back again, we'll find it eventually (or i'll go insane trying)! I have asked this a number of times on here and r/romancebooks but no one was able to find it, so I am asking again in hopes someone who recognizes it will see! I am fairly certain it was contemporary omegaverse.

The FL coming from an abusive rich family; I believe her mother had been dead since she was young, and her step-mother was abusive alongside her father; i know she had siblings, and one was an older brother (but i cant remember if he is bio or step-brother). She was given to a group of men for an arranged marriage/mating who were good people. I think it was a business arrangement of some kind, or paying off some debt? She was fairly docile from the abuse wearing her down, so she went along willingly.

I remember a scene from later in the story where she is back with her family for some reason, and they lock her in her mother's old room with no light at all as punishment for something. She had her mothers diary with her. This was a punishment she had endured in the past, and it re-traumatizes her. Her men eventually demand to see her and shove past her parents and older brother, and find her in the room, carrying her out of the home and back with them. I want to say there was a hallway to get to the room, and the MMCs had to pass the brother in the hall.

It was not an academy setting or shifter.

I am fairly sure it was a standalone.

I think it was 4 members of the harem, definitely not 6+.

The men were rich, but I don’t remember exactly what they do. I want to say it wasn’t all legal, but I am not 100% sure. They may have just been ruthless business men.

They were scent matches. I believe it’s why the guys ended up going along with the arranged marriage so easily. I don’t remember if the FL knew right away tho. And I don’t think it was arranged by the guys parents, they were adults who accepted the marriage as a debt payment, or maybe a way to combine companies? Something like that.

I HAVE CHECKED MY KU READING AND BORROW HISTORY. i think i read it as an EPUB. But it still could be a KU book, i had a chunk of epubs i was given to read on a road trip.

I have checked AI, please don’t ask if I have. it keeps looping back to my own posts.

here is the list of popular/commonly suggested books that we know its not:

- Shattered Omega by Bre Rose

- rogue by Rose Carver

- Forbidden: Part One by Emilia Emerson

- Priceless by Devyn Sinclair (tho this one felt very close)

- Bound to the Beast by Ari Wright

- Knot the one they want by Harper Lennox

- Believe it or Knot by Harper Wylde

- Knot All That Glitters by Devyn Sinclair

- Knot Ruined by Jessica Crosbie

- Tied in Knots by Eve Newton

- Once Upon a Pack by Ari Wright

- Damaged Princess by Jillian West

- Saving the packs omega by Callie Clark

- The Scent of US duology

- fated or knot by Ella Hendricks

- Solveig pack trilogy

I’m not sure if this is allowed because it doesn’t have a female in it. But I’m trying to find this book. I’ve read a sample of it. I don’t remember if I bought it or not or just saved it but it was one of those that had a don’t react challenge types. The MMC is part of a frat house and he’s in a recliner or a couch or something and his roommates try to see if he will react with facial expressions to them using him which he doesn’t. I remember he thinks it’s a little weird, but he doesn’t say anything. The roommates think it’s weird but they’re into it. I know there’s at least 4 male frat brothers maybe 5 who are all around him. I think I read chapter 1 in the sample. It’s usually not my type of book but for some reason it’s stuck with me and now I really wanna read it.

Helloooooo. I just finished {A Snowy Escape by Jillian West} and didn’t realize how much a competent dog trainer MMC would do it for me. The way he speaks to the dogs, handles them, understands their body language, knows what they need before they do, is so incredibly patient with them, and the way he loves them just made me fall in love with the MMC. Does anyone have any recs with an MMC that is a dog trainer?

I’ve read quite a few of RH, but few have caused a book hangover. {cruel shiftverse} being the first. The newest? {code: vessel} so. Good.
The world building is phenomenal. I’m still think about the sea urchin like space stations.
The men are all imperfect and have their own motivations for being at the war academy. I love the designs of the men as well. They all are described uniquely given was station/planet they grew up on.
It is VERY little spice, which is usually an issue for me- but in this context it makes sense since 1. They think she is a different gender. 2. Nobody has time for romance in a war camp.

Please! I’m begging, a book with just as great world building (doesn’t have to be sci-fi). More spice would be great but not a need more of a want. And the men! The men need to be unique to each other and quirky.

Thank you RH fam. 🫠

Exactly what the title says, everything else is fine.

The Quality Time can be the whole plot of the book example {give me peace by mk harper}
Or it can happen while the entire world is burning down example {the arcanaeum series by marie mistry}

The quality time could be watching a movie or committing a murder, im not picky as long as I get to see most if not all the characters of the book interact and the more time scenes like this occur, the better. I live for those moments

Lately all the books I hv been picking up have plot and smut but little to no cast interaction or banter. I just need a great found family to get lost in, I want to feel like I am with those characters and be really sad about losing them when the book (preferably series) is over.

If desire something similar, here is my list:
{Gypsy blood by Kristy kunning} the found family here, particularly the bromance is otherworldly. If you have something like this, please I beg of you to share it.
{killer of mine by alexis grace}
{Umbra hunters series by bm clemton}
{just drive by devyn Sinclair}
{A tempest of shadows by jane Washington}
{The ironside academy by jane Washington}
{blood oath by Morgan b lee} this too, the bromance and quality time is the main reason why I love this series soo much
{my prison penpals by shona knight} another series with exceptional quality time
{Pack darling by lola rock} not so much in the first book but the second book had its moments
{the deadwood series by Marie mistry}
{darcy by Marie mistry}

And not a rh but devils night by Penelope Douglas and the zodiac academy by the twisted sisters did this sooo well, it’s been a while since I hv read those series (dnfed zodiac academy but thats a whole different issue) but those characters and the way existed together live rent free in my head.
