He follows me. Holy fucking shit. I didn't even request him. He just... follows me.

This better not be a scam account pretending to be him.

Can you please recommend some historical romances where the hero is a slutty simp lol that sounds perfect. Thank you so much!!

For sure!

Of course, you have to start with Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas, which is the definitive "oh god, this whore is actually a simp" book. The guy begins the novel with being like "listen I fuck around but I don't do feelings" and ends with one of the most ridiculous (amazing) pre-sex spiels I've ever read where he's like "I want to pour all my essence into you and have you so close to me that we can never be pulled apart and I want to make you come so many times that you can't handle it anymore and just want to die please let me do it" and it's great. Should be prefaced by It Happened One Autumn for full effect. The hero in that one is less slutty, but otherwise the dynamic is extremely show!Kathony.

Lorraine Heath loves a slutty simp. The Earl Takes All (the famous Gorilla Twins book; hero's twin dies by gorilla attack, hero pretends to be his twin so that his pregnant sister-in-law doesn't have a miscarriage; this plan goes about as well as you'd think) has a hero is such a fucking whore that when he attends his own funeral everyone is like "Jesus, that guy was a mess". Falls in love with his pregnant sister-in-law and discovers she has a Plot Important dirty mouth and he is OVERCOME.

Waking Up with The Duke, where the hero has to fuck his best friend's wife so that she'll get pregnant... the wife he's always secretly longed for while developing a reputation as London's greatest lover... is... a lot. There's a scene where they're out on a boat, because their Sex For Procreation Appointments quickly turn into actual dates, and he starts to try to eat her out in the middle of the lake and she's like "we're literally gonna die out here, you're the stupidest man I know, also a little to the left".

The Good Girl's Guide to Rakes by Eva Leigh has a great little older brother's best friend romance where the heroine wants to take a walk on the wild side (she's a virgin who can't drive) before getting married. The hero is like "what could go wrong with this?" By the end of the book his own brother is like "stop looking at her like that IN PUBLIC, you're giving the game away!!!"

The Duke I Tempted by Scarlett Peckham has a literally sexually submissive duke (yet oh so dominant in the right ways) in it. If you were intrigued by that shot of Anthony on his knees with Kate's thumb in his mouth, you would probably read this.

To be followed up by The Earl I Ruined, about a plucky gossipy young woman who isn't a total bitch but nonetheless accidentally on purpose ruined her brother's best friend's life. Brother's best friend has been longing for her for years and has big Sexy Secret, and this does come in hand in ways involving an apple.

Nine Rules to Break When Romancing A Rake, obviously. Sarah MacLean LOOOOOVES a slutty simp. Ralston does the whole "OH GOD I'M SO SORRY FOR MAKING SWEET LOVE TO YOU IN NOT A BED, MARRY ME" thing so well. Also, great fat rep, and an amazing scene where he tells the heroine that she's been very mean to her breasts by binding them for a fencing match, and unfortunately he's going to have to take care of them because of that.

The Rogue Not Taken also has an extremely slutty, extremely simpish hero. He eats her out in a moving carriage. It's a lot.

Devil in Spring by Lisa Kleypas has this as well--mostly because the hero is his father's (Devil in Winter) son. The Lords St. Vincent, once and future, are complete whores and love serving their lady loves.

I think Sweetest Scoundrel is probably the Elizabeth Hoyt book that matches this most? That and Scandalous Desires. Her heroes are usually a bit more on the brutal side, but in these books the men are like... gone. In Scandalous Desires the hero and heroine are fucking hard at one point, and she tells him she loves him in the middle of it, and he's too damaged to like say it back immediately, but he does instantly come inside her lol. Like. Just hearing I love you from her sends him over the edge.

The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels has a steampunk fantasy Victoria romance take on this. The hero is a slutty pirate and the heroine is like "mmmm nope" and he just *_* the entire book.

Her Night with The Duke by Diana Quincy. Slutty, slutty duke has a one night stand with a widow at a tavern. Finds out she's the stepmother of the woman he's been courting. If you enjoyed the FORBIDDEN DESIRES aspect of season 2 of Bridgerton... lmao.... this has that down. He's like BUT I'VE TASTED YOUR ESSENCE and she's like "not as far as the record is concerned".
