Book Recommendations Request
📚 Looking for romance book recs!
I’m mainly looking for contemporary romance with:
✨ FMC POV only OR very minimal MMC POV
✨ Slow burn with lots of tension/chemistry before it gets steamy
✨ NO insta-love
✨ Broody/grumpy/guarded MMC who eventually falls HARD
✨ Strong romantic buildup + emotional payoff
✨ Open to most tropes: enemies-to-lovers, workplace, fake dating, forced proximity, rivals, etc.
🚫 Not a big fan of friends-to-lovers
🚫 Not really into HR
Would also LOVE fantasy romance recs if they fit this vibe 👀
Books I absolutely loved:
💘 Contemporary:
\- The Opposite of You by Rachel Higginson
\- The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas
\- Honestly, I'm Totally Faking It By Amanda Gambil
\- The Favour By Suzanne Wright
\- The Love Hypothesis By Ali Hazelwood
\- Hero by Samantha Young
\- On the Dublin street by Samantha Young
\- Turbulence by Whitney G
🐉 Fantasy Romance:
\- Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros
\- The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent
\- From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout
\- Powerless by Lauren Roberts
Basically looking for addictive romances with amazing chemistry, tension that makes you scream, and MMCs who are down BAD by the end 😭❤️
