Recent spicy wlw romances WITHOUT "good girl, you're taking me so well"?

I'm not a fan of "good girl, you're taking me so well" or any of its variations, and maybe I'm just unlucky but the last two or three wlw romances I've read have all had a version of it. I won't dnf for it in a wlw book (on the rare occasions I read a hetero romance book I will dnf for it immediately) but it would be nice to not have to put up with it during sex scenes.

Any romance subgenre is fine as long as it's wlw. Power imbalance is fine so long as no one is saying these particular phrases or any similarly degrading version of praise kink--I know some people like this and that's fine, but it's not for me

Alternately, any books or authors that are heavy on this that I might want to avoid? Or, anyone know roughly what year this became popular in wlw romance so that I can try to read books from before that?

TIA!

{What Fury Brings by Tricia Levenseller}

Love the idea of a gender flipped society where men are subject to all the same awful shit that women are subject to under the RL patriarchy, but I have this awful feeling like it's going to turn out that the FMC "learns the error of her ways" and helps liberate the men or something. If you've read this can you spoil some things for me?

  1. Is the sex femdom, or at least equal? Does a man dominate the FMC at any point?

  2. Are there any other patriarchal romantasy tropes?

  3. Does she save the men or try to overthrow the matriarchy or anything like that?

TIA.
