So I just finished {Lovely Allergen by Zhìchǔ} and now I’m hooked 😭

Sadly, most stepbrother MM books I’ve tried focus way more on the sexual tension/taboo aspect than on the actual romance and emotional development. I’m looking for something where the relationship feels genuinely sweet and naturally developed rather than being centered around sex.

What I’d love:

-more plot/romance than steam

-good emotional buildup and falling in love

Bonus points for:

-school or college setting

-size difference

Contemporary preferred, but I’m open to other genres too. Any recs?

Hi everyone! I’m looking for MM books where the MC is mean or cold toward the love interest for whatever reason—jealousy, insecurity, low self-esteem, past trauma, fear of feelings, misunderstanding, etc.—while the ML is just completely and hopelessly in love with him the entire time.

Something along the line of {The First and Last Adventure of Kit Sawyer by S.E. Harmon}

Thank u all 🫶🫶
