Bonds That Tie first time reader-rant

Ok I’ve already searched the sub and have read plenty of discussions of the things that pissed me off so I’m not going to bother rehashing here but… the spice? Am I the only one that is vastly disappointed with it?? I finished book four and read through the Nox bonding and I’m just done. Don’t begin with Gryphon having a dirty mouth to proceed not to give us any of his dirty mouth commentary. Everything is super vanilla which like, fine but ive read vanilla scenes that are still hot bc of the writing. And that first threesome with Gryphon and North? That was the most boring threesome I’ve ever read. The first orgy? Honestly, it’s a skill how boring this writer made an orgy. The books read like a YA novel which is fine, I’m so down with reading that shit like Hunger Games etc., but then just don’t bother with the sex bc wow it’s depressing. 5 men and 4 books and there’s not even so much as a thumb up an asshole.

I was pushing through but between that and the fact that they keep leaving Oli behind and wasting tacteam deaths when she could just transport, kill everyone in 3 seconds, and transport back… I’m done. I can’t. I spent 2 days trying bc I’ve been DNFing almost everything I’ve picked up lately but I’m over it.

End Rant.

EDIT:

Ok I’m not going to make a new post, but I also am so over Oli being “woe is me” everything is my fault, how can you love me, I’m just a high school dropout I’m so worthless… yada yada yada. Bitch, please. Get over yourself.

Bonds That Tie POVs

I’m finally going to try this series and romance.io shows single POV for the first 2 and then multiple POV for the last 2. Is it really multiple POV, or is it still single POV with like, 3 chapters from an MMC pov thrown in?

I usually steer clear of any reverse harem with just single POV, but this book gets talked about so much I could do it knowing I’ll get the mmcs POVs later.

Ok so, I just finished {Cruel Games Series by Poppy Jacobson} and I neeeeed something similar. There are 3 mmcs, but two specifically play together with her and one degrades and talks down to her while the other one praises her. It is the hottest combo during sex ever, imo, and it’s so hard to find it done well. Any recommendations please! Any genre, although I’m not a big fan of omegaverse. No triggers. Totally down with MM but not necessary.

Oh and if anyone is interested, this is a pretty hardcore bully romance BUT has the best grovel I’ve read. The whole second book is basically grovel and it’s not just words but actions. So hard to find so figured I would mention it!

Romances where the shy/sweet FMC goes into heat but the man she wants isn’t there, and her enemy happens to show up by accident, smells her/this causes him to go into rut/rage/feral (he takes her by force) even though he hates her-his baser urges take over?

I’m the mood for some ao3, but reverse harem style. I was first introduced to menage romance/smut when I spent a solid year reading True Blood fanfics. Eric and Godric together? I was shooketh.

Any genre!
