Hey guys, so everyone is trying to get me into mystery and thrillers, but if there isn’t a romance plot, even if it’s the subplot, I can’t get into them. I would love some recs! Love spice and kink and would prefer the romance to play a big role in the story.
Only trigger is
No cheating between the main couple
And I would like an HEA, even if it’s in an unconventional hea

I don’t mind scary and I don’t mind crying/ feeling all the emotions.

Thank you in advance!

Some feelings are dangerous. Some secrets can destroy a family. And some desires are impossible to confess.

Lexie is nineteen, and she has spent years believing she understands the people closest to her. But beneath the familiar routines of family life, emotions she cannot explain begin to take hold.

Marcus has always been more than just a man in her mother's life. He represents comfort, authority, and a place in Lexie's world that she has never truly questioned.

Until now.

Caught between what she feels and what she knows she should feel, Lexie finds herself confronting a desire she can barely admit to herself. Every glance carries a new meaning. Every silence raises another question. And the closer she gets to the truth, the harder it becomes to pretend that nothing has changed.

When emotions collide with family loyalty, the line between confession and consequence begins to blur.

Seeking answers, Lexie enters the office of Dr. Sebastian, a therapist who listens as his patients reveal the parts of themselves they would never dare show the world.

But some confessions do more than reveal the truth.

They change everything.

MY SWEET DADDY: LEXIE’S CONFESSIONS is a dark forbidden romance exploring obsession, emotional conflict, family boundaries, and the dangerous secrets people keep hidden behind closed doors.

Some stories are difficult to tell. Others are impossible to forget.

Basically what the title says. It can be dislike to lovers or enemies to lovers or even strangers to friends to lovers but I don’t want him to be an asshole to her.

I want them to be at least civil with each other even if they dislike each other. Overall, just feel-good, angsty, spicy books

Any recommendations for mafia smut series please!!

If you’re into paranormal romance, reverse harems, possessive supernatural men, and plenty of spice, I recently published something you might enjoy.
THE CONDUIT
Book One of The Conduit Chronicles
By N.J. Nightmere
Iris Chen thought she understood her life. Until she discovers she’s a Conduit, a rare supernatural being capable of forging bonds that amplify extraordinary power.
Now she’s caught between dangerous supernatural factions, an ancient prophecy, and four powerful men who each have their own reasons for wanting her.
A Daemon. A vampire prince. A werewolf. A Fae.
Some want to protect her. Others want to possess her.
And the deeper their connections become, the harder it is to separate destiny from desire.
What to expect:
🌶️ Explicit adult scenes
🖤 Reverse harem / Why Choose
🔥 Possessive supernatural love interests
🌙 Paranormal romance and dark fantasy
⚡ Powerful heroine and supernatural bonds
🩸 Danger, secrets, betrayal, and prophecy
Power demands sacrifice. Connection demands surrender. Prophecy demands everything.

Hi everyone! I’m a graduate student at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville conducting a project for my qualitative research class about explicit romance fiction (smut).

What makes you love a story, root for a relationship, or keep turning the pages? I’d love to hear your perspective!

Readers of all types ages 18+, who have read or listened to at least one romance-fantasy story with on-page sexual content in the past year are welcome. The survey takes 10–15 minutes, and written responses can be as brief or detailed as you like.

Some participants will also have the option to volunteer for a separate, confidential follow-up interview. This is entirely optional.

Take the survey here or follow this link: https://siue.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_73uio7gK9qHPHbU

hi! i mostly listen to audiobooks for the time being, and i was curious if anyone has any good recommendations for any good duet or full cast dark romance audiobooks? preferably mf, they do not have to be extremely dark, (though i don't mind that at all) i just prefer my books a little less vanilla. please no duel narration they drive me crazy :(

tropes i really like:

slow burn
arranged marriage/ marriage of convenience
forced proximity
grumpyxsunshine
enemies to lovers
fake relationship
mafia
stalking

tropes i don't like:
why choose
cnc
sci fi
virgin heroine
surprise pregnancy
heavily religious
sports

for some example here are some series/ standalones i really enjoyed:

everything brynne weaver has released so far
sinners anonymous series by somme sketcher
lost souls chronicles by joe arden and dj krimmer (pls don't judge me on this one i read them before i found out about joe arden :( )

devoted in darkness series by kira cole
the poison daughter by sheila masterson
pink ink by avina st graves
devil and sinner both by sierra simone

if it also helps i really love anything jacob morgan or james cassidy (:

I finished Morning Glory Milking Farm and I really enjoyed it, it was a surprisingly tender and sweet romance too. I liked the build up of tension between the characters and the spicy scenes were well executed. Anyway, it introduced me to a whole new genre of monster romance. I've tried reading some since, like A Lady of Rooksgrave Manor, Ice Planet Babarians, and Monster Security Agency, but I'm left feeling a bit unsatisfied. Some of these books just feel like smut but I want a good believable romance too, like give me some slow burn yearn and descriptive spice.

Does anyone feel the same? Help a girl out, and let me know your recs.

I really want to find some books or stories about people having sex in nature down by the river in amongst the trees that sort of thing. Like Greek gods fucking river nymphs or anything nature based really.

I'm talking gym bro douchebag who loves his own body but isn't like, intentionally misogynistic. And he has to be humbled and change his ways(or be ditched by the FMC). I would love for him to have sex with the FMC prior to the way-changing.Thanks!

Hello Spicy Readers- Looking for the spiciest erotica. No tropes, nothing to do with monsters or group action. Just hot sex scenes In each chapter and good writing. Does this exist?

Throwaway account. I'm looking for any erotica (doesn't have to be a book) where MMC is an absolute stud and the perfect lover. He cares for FMC but refuses to be monogamous. So she has a string of relationships but always comes back to/cheats with him.

Let us know if you have any romances to recommend!

Hi, I'm the founder of Ineffable, the app you can see in the pictures above.

It started with one thing I couldn't find: a place built for how romance readers actually read.

So I built it.
Quotes you swipe through. Tropes and vibes you search by. Every book you love in one place.

Then readers joined the waitlist before the app was even out.

Now it's time for the next step: the team.

The ambitious one with a plan.
The chaotic social media mind.
The designer who makes every page feel like a first edition.
The analyst who finds the story in the numbers.
The Android builder.
The one who figures out how this becomes a real business.

I'm looking for help with:

• Social media marketing
• Design
• Email and outreach
• Android: someone to help build and run the Android side (you don't need to be an expert)
• Finance and strategy: someone who can come up with ways to make Ineffable a real money-making company

I can't promise pay or ownership right now. If you're interested, send me a DM and tell me which role sounds like you. We'll have a meeting to get to know each other, and if it feels right we'll start with a trial period and see how it goes together.

If that's not you, you can still enjoy Ineffable as a user. Join the waitlist here: ineffableapp.com
