Looking for high-angst books where the MMC is secretly an emotionally wrecked mess for the FMC. I want sobbing kisses and desperate confessions.
Hey everyone I’m in a bad reading slump and I’m looking for some intense, angsty Historical Romance recommendations. To give you an idea of my taste, my favorites include Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas, The Highwayman by Kerrigan Byrne, Lord of Scoundrels by Loretta Chase, marrying winterborne by lisa kleypas and Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë.
What i want :
Mmc is so emotionally devastated by the fmc that he literally feels that he can’t breathe without her.
Heartbreaking or angry confessions of love (the best).
Angst.
Kissing her almost makes him cry, even better if he actually weeps or gets overwhelmed or breatheless because of her.
More angst.
Sweet fmcs and protective mmcs.
Mmc who would crawl through hell for her.
Good prose
I want the MCs to struggle with their feelings for each other and struggle to be together.
HEA
What I don’t like:
Ow drama, unnecessary third act breakup,
miscommunication trope(its fine if they are hiding their feelings for each other but I am not a fan of stupid misunderstandings that can be solved with minor communication)
