I finished 'Mercy' after you recommended it and loved it! Do you have any more FemDom recs for me?

I'm glad you enjoyed it!! It's such a novel book to me in the way Sara redeems Beau and writes him as a brat, and I really loved the taboo "best friend's son" thing. Here are some more femdom recs

Contemporary

Beg For It by Megan Hart: A second chance femdom romance! They met when they were in their early 20s they just naturally figure out their dynamic and he's very service oriented (at one point she's crying while she remembers how he would meticulously paint her nails and tbh I felt that) and likes punishment. Fast forward and they're both middle aged and she's divorced, and he ends up buying(?) the company she works which is how they meet again and they resume their relationship. Also, the DEFIANCE in this middle aged man when he's like "I'm not your boy anymore!!" is very funny and patently untrue. Plus, there's pegging that isn't relegated to a bonus scene.

Preferential Treatment by Heather Guerre: One of my favorite Fated Mates recs; he's a billionaire and she's his employee he pays to domme him. There are a lot of sexually charged chess games (with sex toys...?) and there's a financial domination aspect, the most hysterical part being that she has him donating to PACs dedicated to overthrowing Citizens United

What Was Meant to By by Heather Guerre: Marriage of convenience set in a small town except this small town blue collar man likes to be called a good boy in bed and loves it when his wife takes charge.

Also sidenote, I've seen multiple reviews complaining about how they were "surprised" Rain was the dominant one and "it didn't make sense considering she'd been isolated a lot of her adult life" and "there was no backstory" to which I'd say, why does there need to be a backstory? Why does there need to be an explanation about why Rain likes what she likes when I doubt any of these people would require one if it turned out the hero was the more dominant one in the bedroom. Especially in a book that isn't mainly about exploring kink and the mcs just kind of have kinks that fit together, there's little need, and I'd love to see more of that in romance novels.

Rules We Break by Dana Isaly: This is a novella; She's older and his boss, and they rekindle their relationship for a night in Nashville. There's service stuff, there's punishment, there's a lot of toys.

Historical:

The Duke I Tempted by Scarlett Peckham: Marriage of convenience between a powerful duke and a gardener— the bargain is an heir for money for her gardening business except they fall in love ofc, all while he's hiding that he's a masochist and frequents whipping houses. The reveal (to Poppy) happens fairly late in the book from what I remember, but she does ask him to teach her how to please him.

Would I Lie to the Duke by Eva Leigh: She's in the soapmaking business and he's a duke but also v business oriented; I remember him being kind of an.... alpha sub? If that makes any sense whatsoever, but he's into submission/service-oriented but he's still kind of calling the shots with Jessica especially in the beginning.

Scandalous Passions by Nicola Davidson: an MFF romance set in the 1600s in Scotland between an ex-royal mistress, a naive ingenue type, and a strong but silent soldier; the ex-mistress, Janet, definitely takes charge of her earlier encounters with Marjorie and Lachlan and kind of controlled the proceedings from what I remember. Also, solid dirty talk as is standard for this author.

Nicola Davidson has a handful of other femdom books from what I remember, but I've yet to read them. I'm also told The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes by Cat Sebastian qualifies

History of Isaly's

History of Isaly’s: From Ohio to Pittsburgh Isaly’s, a beloved chain of dairy stores and restaurants, holds a special place in the hearts of many. While it may be surprising to some, Isaly’s actually originated in Ohio before making its way to Pittsburgh in the early 1930s.

Thank you.

Can you recommend for me a contemporary romance with kink?

I'm guessing in reference to this ask

Hi! This is a pretty broad ask but I can rec my favorites (some of them are erotic romances btw):

Can I start this list without beginning with Sierra Simone? Nope. Sierra writes erotic romances that have this amazing combination of kink, heart-wrenching emotion, queerness, and religion

Misadventures with a Professor: Might be a good place to start your Sierra journey; Oliver is someone you get the sense needs kink to have fulfilling sex, and possibly a fulfilling relationship. He is very into the professor/student thing (so D/s with a lot of "good student" praise, chastisement, and some teaching) and Zandy is 100% into it too (much to Oliver's shock... poor guy has been kinkshamed in the past and then proceeded to kinkshame himself to hell and back).

Priest: The start of my Sierra journey; D/s dynamic between a Catholic priest and his new congregant. It's almost entirely from Tyler's point of view but I loved Poppy as a character because she was so unabashed about her lifestyle and her desire to be dominated. I'd strongly recommend entire Priest whole series, though book 2, Sinner, is less kinky there are... undertones (that are fully realized in a bonus scene lolol), and book 3, Saint, plays around a lot with chastity..... and cock cages.

New Camelot series: A modern political romance between Ash (King Arthur; the president here), Embry (an unholy combination of Mordred and Lancelot; the VP), and Greer (Guinevere; the First Lady). Ash is a Dom and had a longstanding D/s relationship with Embry, who is a switch, and both men were involved with Greer in the past until they all intersect. This was one of the first books with kink I read and it made an impression, suffice to say.

Thornchapel series: Okay there's definitely a magical/fantasy element to this but it's set in the modern world and I really love the relationships depicted in the series. There's the main throuple which consists of a dom and two subs; Auden is actually taught by his friend how to be a good dom, and that friend, Rebecca, is in a D/s relationship with Delphine (one of the few well-written wlw romances with kink as far as I've seen). There's a looooot of denial in this one; celibacy, orgasm denial, teasing, etc. It makes for GREAT tension on top of the already gorgeous romances.

Try Sierra's Salt Kiss, which is the first in her Lyonesse Trilogy which is based on the story of Tristan and Isolde and Mark (and the only book out so far). For the most part, it's m/m; Mark is a sex club owner and Tristan's dom and boss. Tristan has a breeding kink which goes both ways, in that he wants to breed Isolde, and wants to be bred by Mark.

Sara Cate's Salacious Players Club is a good series to introduce you to kink. All five of the books are kinky to varying degrees. Praise has a D/s relationship with lots of praise kink stuff, Eyes On Me is exhibitionism/voyeurism-forward, Give Me More is about a couple falling for their best friend and vice-verse and has some exhibitionism/voyeurism/bondage, but I think the most interesting point, kink-wise, is that Hunter, the husband, initially thinks he wants to be cuckholded (watching his wife and best friend have sex) but it turns out he's working through internalized homophobia and actually just wants to be a part of a throuple with his best friend and wife. Mercy also has a D/s relationship with an older domme and her best friend's son who is a brat.

Jennie Kew is an Australian author whose Bennett's Bastards series I overall enjoyed. She writes very... earthy heroes and heroines and it makes for an interesting vibe. My favorites are Third Time Lucky, which has a D/s relationship between the main couple (and goes into how kink can be weaponized in abusive relationships). His Own Heaven also has a D/s relationship between the main couple, and it actually falls outside the bedroom too (ex: she sits at his feet and he feeds her).

Priceless by Miranda Silver: Christina initially agreed to sleep with Patrick for money which, for her, is inherently degrading, and then there's more degradation on his part. The kink feels very... natural, If that makes sense. Not a lot of bells and whistles; just two college students figuring it out in a frat house bedroom.

Katee Robert writes a fair amount of kinky romances but I do think her sweet spot might be writing daddy-dom types. Try her Your Dad Will Do and My Dad's Best Friend series if you're looking books with a daddy kink. Also—

Desperate Measures: A grown-up take on Jafar/Jasmine except he's a mobster and she's a mob princess. There's daddy dom stuff, plus some consensual non-consent.

Neon Gods: Hades/Persephone; Hades runs a sex club out of his house and there's a good amount of exhibitionism and voyeurism, also, Hades does have the daddy dom quality even if she's not outrightly calling him Daddy.

I've read a few books by Eve Dangerfield but plot-wise the one that stands out the most is Act Your Age; There's a lot of sleazy step-daddy roleplay so its a good amount of degradation, and some CNC.

Mila Finelli's Kings of Italy mafia series has kink; Mafia Mistress and Mafia Darling (both with the same couple; the heroine is initially engaged to marry the mafioso's son except he wants her for himself) has a lot of daddy (paparino) stuff and some generally rough sex and roleplay, and Mafia Madman (heroine is kidnapped and thrown in a cage on a yacht by the hero) I'd say has an M/s dynamic with both a degradation and praise kink and some CNC. Gia is also a Brat.

Heather Guerre is really good at getting the soft domme vibe right; in Preferential Treatment a billionaire pays his employee to domme him (there's some impact play from what I remember, and orgasm control). What Was Meant To Be is about basically an arranged marriage, and Rain just naturally likes to take charge in the bedroom and Wes is very down, just very much a Good Boy.

Sink or Swim by Tessa Bailey has a pretty unique sexual dynamic imo; Andrew a service top in that he's the more dominant one but he really gets off on Jiya telling him what to do (sexually and otherwise) and as it turns out, so does she. I really like how Tessa subverted the "submissive Asian woman" trope in this book.

Adriana Anders wrote Daddy Crush which is your classic daddy kink romance with an age gap, but it was just written really well. Would recommend.

Dana Isaly and Hannah Murray both write shorter, erotic romances with similar vibes. I liked Dana's Games We Play (mask kink, degradation, bondage, etc.) and Hannah's The Sadist and the Brat (I actually reviewed this one).

Saying that a Mexican driver will say "me no speak English" is what's racist. It's a joke to you, it's not a joke to the Mexicans that get made fun of for trying to speak a second language. If you wanted to make the joke with checo will reply with "no hablo inglés" that's comedy.

Sorry me no speak English, go cry in someone else's inbox x

“Do you want to play a game with me, Quinlan?” She looked unsure of herself but took a deep breath. “Yes.”
