Book recommendations with 'Powerful Male Lead X sweet soft Female lead' dynamic

You know how some readers are into those Cold ML X Soft FML dark romance stories? Well, count me in! I have some recommendations for you. Please let me know if you have any recommendations as well.

Let's get into characters.

Male lead: I'm all about those tales where the guy's got this intense, possessive streak, loaded with cash and power. He's got this whole vibe, this aura that screams power. Everyone's shaking in their boots around him. But here's the twist: he's icy to everyone except for this one girl.

Female lead: She's the complete opposite—soft, sweet, not into playing the tough card. And you know what? I'm not into it when she tries those cringey, embarrassing stunts to outsmart him. No thanks. I'm more into the submissive kink, where she's polite but definitely not stupid. Smart, knows when to use her brain.

It's like this delicate balance between power and innocence, dominance and submission. Alright, for all my fellow readers of the "Cold Powerful Male Lead X Sweet Female Lead" trope:

When She Unravels by Gabrielle Sands (My favourite female lead. Mafia romances can feel repetitive/overdone. This felt fresh and different to me. The plot was interesting and I enjoyed Vale. She’s exactly how I like my fmc in a Mafia romance. Sure, she was a caged princess but she had a backbone and stood up for herself.)

The Mafia And His Angel series by Lylah James (Mafia X Runway fml ends up working as maiden in his house)

Hooked by Emily McIntire (Club owner X Enemy's daughter. Female lead was surely sweet)

Stolen Heir by Sophie Lark

Stolen Beauty by T.O. Smith

Broken Whispers (Perfectly Imperfect, #2) by Neva Altaj (This Russian mob is addicting and devilishly good. Age gap. Single Dad. “Touch her and I’ll kill you.” Damaged, unloveable hero and a mute heroine.)

Hidden Truths (Perfectly Imperfect #3) by Neva Altaj

Stolen Touches (Perfectly Imperfect, #5) by Neva Altaj

Burned Dreams (Perfectly Imperfect, #7) by Neva Altaj

Silent Lies (Perfectly Imperfect, #8) by Neva Altaj

Darkest Sins (Perfectly Imperfect, #9) by Neva Altaj (Female lead is the most understanding character. She stumbles upon a stranger with a gunshot wound and saves his life, thinking she'll never see him again. He stalks her for months, then cuts his forearm open just so he can have a reason to go talk to her again.)

Tempted by the Devil (Kings of Mafia #1) by Michelle Heard

Craving Danger (Kings Of Mafia #2) by Michelle Heard

Hunted by a Shadow (Kings of Mafia #3) by Michelle Heard

Beauty and the Assassin by Nadia Lee

An Improper Deal (Elliot and Annabelle #1) by Nadia Lee

The Darkest Temptation (Made, #3) by Danielle Lori

The Maddest Obsession (Made, #2) by Danielle Lori

Twist Me: The Complete Trilogy by Anna Zaires

Once You're Mine duet by Morgan Bridges

The Sordid Duet (Sordid, #1-2) by Nikki Sloane

The Annihilator (Dark Verse, #5) by RuNyx (It's somehow little bit like Hunting Adeline. I'll admit this was different, but the similarities.. Shadow man, Roses, Stalking, Human trafficking, Heterochromia. It just feels TOO similar.. Granted, this was way lessss dark compared to Hunting Adeline.)

The Finisher (Dark Verse, #4) by RuNyx

The Predator (Dark Verse, #1) by RuNyx

Beautifully Cruel #1 by JT Geissinger

Lorenzo by Sadie Kincaid

His Pretty Little Burden by Nicci Harris

Deadly Vows by Haley Stuart

Captured by a Sinner (Sinners, #5) by Michelle Heard

Stolen by a Sinner (Sinners, #3) by Michelle Heard

That's all that's on my mind right now. I'll add more later if anything else pops up. And, if you've got any recommendations for books with that "Cold Powerful Male Lead X Sweet Female Lead" vibe, hit me up!

This hand is mine. She offered it to me freely, and I’m not releasing it unless it’s absolutely necessary. One day, maybe she’ll allow me to touch more than just her hand, but for now, this has to be enough.

Actualización puntual - Estoy: viciada

¿Hola? ¿Podemos hablar de lo increíble que es Neva Altaj? Empecé la saga “Perfectly Imperfect” con “Pecados Oscuros”, sí, empecé la saga con el noveno libro de la saga. Así soy, no pasa nada, todo ok. La saga gira en torno a la mafia (italiana, rusa…), evidentemente tiene romance, un toque de spicy, violencia… Pero, aunque las relaciones son algo disfuncionales a ratitos, no me han hecho saltar las alarmas -en general-. La lectura se hace muy rápida, enganchan muchísimo y es fácil entrar en la historia.

Una vez acabé “Pecados Oscuros”, pasé a leer “Mentiras Silenciosas”, el octavo libro de la saga. Quién pensase que leería el resto de libros en el orden correcto y sensato evidentemente no me conoce. Escogí el libro básicamente por la puntuación de Goodreads, algo que no siempre se tiene que tener en cuenta porque cada una tiene sus gustos y preferencias. Pero esta vez la elección fue súper acertada, me gustó muchísimo más que “Pecados Oscuros”. Enamorada de Drago y enamorada de Sienna. Necesito ser amiga de esa señora y que me ayude a tener un vestuario como el suyo. Ojalá tener esa confianza.

Para continuar decidí ir a “Caricias Robadas”, el quinto libro de la saga, básicamente porque los protagonistas de este libro salían en el octavo. Sentí curiosidad, así que ea, pa’lante. Por ahora es el libro de la saga que menos me ha gustado, me agobiaba bastante la relación de los protagonistas. No diré nada más.

Mi intención era continuar con la Saga Blackwater, pero pff, se me torcieron los planes por culpa de Neva Altaj y sus historias. No passa pas res, en algún punto necesitaré un descanso del tema mafia, así que iré alternando entre ambas sagas.

De momento me he empezado “Cicatrices Marcadas”, ahora sí el primer libro de la saga. Intentando hacer las cosas bien, mejor tarde que nunca.

Puntuaciones que di en Goodreads:

“Pecados Oscuros”, 3 estrellas.

“Mentiras Silenciosas”, 4 estrellas.

“Caricias Robadas”, 3 estrellas.

Lectura actual: “Cicatrices Marcadas”.

PD: Sí, he sido capaz de leerme los tres libros en dos días, mi ritmo de lectura es un tema a no discutir, gracias.

PD2: Influye que he estado malita y he tenido mucho tiempo de reposo que he dedicado a leer.

If you wanna read something good, I would say the “Perfectly Imperfect” series by Neva Altaj is the best. The character building, character connection, plot… everything is on point. And you definitely want to read more. It's best if you read it in order.
