“I’m serious, Josslyn. You own me,” I tear, my voice hoarse. “My love for you is a living thing inside me. You’re everywhere all the time-on my mind, in my blood, in my bones. I don’t think we can get much closer than that.”

Darker romance you say, how dark? ~ local pocket dragon pops up from the notes.

very dark! i don't mind darker themes in books, especially romance. and i like an hea that makes your stomach churn a little bit lmao like, sure the leads are together (because she can't escape him or he'll hunt her down and drag her back home) but is it really sane safe and consensual? absolutely not.

What’s your preference with romantic male leads? Do you like the sweet, heart of gold types or the more ambiguous, morally grey types?

I want them to have personality lmao

I've read dark romances, romcoms and fantasies. So I think I have read every type male characters and I realised I don't really care if they're morally grey or not (although morally grey has more appeal to me hehe) What I care is I have enough facts about them so I can form an attachment, feel a connection.

But recently I haven't read one book where the mmc is not only attractive for his appearance, for his fine abs and his high cheeks, with his blue eyes lol. I don't want them to say things that every other mmc have said in other books. The same sentence that make people go "crazy" and swoon. But the thing is they will get boring so soon and instead of going crazy, you'll roll your eyes at how cheesy and cringy it is. ps: I don't mind reading them. I read them every once in a while as a palette cleanser so I don't have to think much and also I don't fall into a reading slump but it's nothing special tbh you just get bored

I don't care if they're broody or have golden retriever energy what matters to me is how they show it. And if they're going to use their word, I want them to be unique and make me emotional and as much as they make their love interest swoon, I want feel wooed too.

Pining for You by Leah Braemel

5 stars

These two worked together so well! And that was despite what she thought, about trust, age differences, and wanting to avoid commitments. I really liked how they were cautious, but open, caring but reserved, and communicative but still held things back. They had a maturity to them, while still having human foibles. Having them get their dreams come true, and doing that together, was a wonderful thing to be part of 😊

Rainier …. SWOOOOOOON !! 💖💖

I love him sfm. I have a new Book-Boyfriend 🥰😍

Is it weird that I’m kinda hoping that somehow we are gonna learn that Em’s daughter Elora is actually the love child of Em & Rain.

Buuuuut … I don’t think they fully consummated their love before Lucia died.

Annnnnd C’mon Em !! Fall back in love with Rain Already. I need my boy to finally get “The Girl”. 💖💖🥰

one of my fave things she's ever sung

[euphoricfilter]

i have finished said book (skin of a sinner), not my favorite of this year but it wasn’t bad to the point i had to put it down and erase it from my memory. solid 6.5/10??

why are fanfic writers so much better at smut than published authors

[yeyinde]

Seen your layla frost mention - any good dark romance books you would recommend? 👀

oh, absolutely!!! though, fair warning - my ideal dr is a horror/thriller moonlighting as a romance so! def read the warnings.

Little Dove by Layla Frost. Maximo, honestly, is my ideal mmc. cold, collected, cunning, unflappable, with a cruel and sadistic side (but never directed toward the the fmc), and wholly devoted to Juliet on a level that would probably land him in jail irl

Then, Earth Swallowed Ocean (book 1) by Shiloh Sloane

"Southern Gothic Werewolves Fight the Devil" that's it. this is the book for me. Shiloh Sloane is my favourite author. genuinely, truly. i love her writing, i love her characters. i love her for her tiktok bio alone: I write love stories whose trailers would have Ethel Cain music in ‘em. obsessed with her. i stalk her daily on insta and tiktok. but the book: it's more horror erotica than DR, but to be totally honest, this is so far up my alley, it was practically written for me. werewolves, the devil, smut, an INSANE mmc (obsessed, mean, possessive), a strong fmc, and it's set in post WW2 Appalachia. instant fave. when i die, bury me with this book.

Cracked Blue Sky (book 2) by Shiloh Sloane

features a native fmc and i know Shiloh Sloane is white, but how she shapes Howie Black Elk was pretty realistic. i loved how much she reminded me of a few cousins, aunties. love this book!!

Snuff by Bonny Capps

dark horror erotica that you absolutely should heed the warnings to. i loved it. 5*. but it does end up on several dnf lists for being brutal and disgusting. fmc goes to Russia to discover her roots, is taken by the Bratva to feature in their "passion projects" (snuff films!), but the mmc decides he wants her all to himself. if you're queasy about totally irredeemable mmcs (sadistic, vile, possessive, obsessed, cruel), then this probably is not for you, but lucky for me, i'm into that. def on my "i couldn't look my therapist in the eye for a while" collection, though.

Lemonade by Nina Pennacchi. mmc is irredeemable (cruel, vile, obsessed). historical romance (Victorian). also on the collection. Little Mouse by Emily Rose. mafia. age gap. A Stone's Throw by Stevie Sparks. age gap (dad's best friend. Scottish hero. auction. weird rich people doing weird rich people shit. God Of Vengeance by Michelle Heard. age gap. mafia. found family. i re-read the bound series this week and my favourites are Bound by Vengeance (Growl and Cora), Bound by Duty (Dante and Valentina), and Twisted Pride (Remo and Serafina). anything by Lilith Vincent. Brutal Husband is dropping in October and i cannot wait. The Devil's Vice by Mindy Paige. trauma bonding. motorcycle gang. age gap. Little Stranger by Leigh Rivers. revenge (fmc sends mmc to prison and he gets out and comes for her). insane mmc. Spectre by Shiloh Walker. kidnapping. violence. neuro-atypical fmc. Slashed by Thalia Sanchez. fmc wants to become a Final Girl. Slasher!mmc gives her just that.

also, not a romance but if you're into dark books with compelling characters, Break Her by BG Harlen was sooo good!!!! the premise is that a professional rapist is sent to break the fmc and it's such a good psychological thriller. def not for everyone though. A Beautiful Evil by Eris Belmont has no HEA but a very brutal and malicious mml. God's Eye by Ansa Reads is brutal. loved it, dgmw. but it's def not for the faint of heart.
