I saw a TikTok where a girl shared her favourite dark romance respectful book boyfriends, and every single book she recommended I had already read and absolutely loved. I’m obsessed with dark romance, but I hate when the male main character is cruel or disrespectful to the female main character.
I’m looking for dark romance books where the hero is completely obsessed with his girl, treats her like a princess, and would do anything for her. I’d love some hidden gems from lesser known authors, but I’m also open to popular authors in case there are titles I may have missed.

When I say “respectful,” I mean outside of the bedroom. In the bedroom, he can degrade her as much as he wants lol.

I’m not a fan of books where the MMC kidnaps the FMC. I hate reading about the fear and emotional trauma she goes through, especially when she’s constantly crying so no kidnapping books.
I don’t care how cruel the MMC is to everyone else as long as he treats the FMC like a princess. He can be as ruthless as he wants to the rest of the world.

The smut can be as much as possible. I love daddy kink and little girl dynamics, so if the book includes that, it’s a huge bonus.

No cheating!!

Here are some of my favourite dark romances where the men are respefctful
Hans by S.J. Tilly
Every book by London snow, especially Pucking Unhinged
Ruthless Creatures and the entire Queens & Monsters series by J.T. Geissinger
Painted Scars by Neva Altaj
Fractured souls by Neva altaj
The Unseen by Ali Roberts

Guys, I need help!

I see so many people making character macarons that come out perfect. My regular macarons turn out amazing every time smooth, shiny shells, no cracks, and perfect feet.

The problem is that I have a very limited amount of time to pipe. I have to work super fast because by the time I get to the last tray, the batter starts producing wrinkly shells.

I can pipe about 80 macarons per batch, which fills around 5 trays. When I’m making character macarons, piping takes much longer because I need to apply more pressure and be more precise. While I’m working on one tray, the rest of the batter sits in the piping bag. By the time I bake the remaining trays, those macarons come out wrinkly.

And before anyone suggests making a smaller batch, I still have the same issue even when I reduce the batch size.

I do the Italian method, and I whipped my egg whites pretty sturdy

Has anyone experienced this or found a way to prevent the batter from changing while it sits?

Does anyone know this book? This randomly came to my head. I think I read it two years ago.

All I can remember is that it was in a series. Itbwas the first book of the series, I think the FMC was famous and on a reality TV show, and the guy was a lawyer. I remember a scene where she brings him, I think, a burrito to his office or something she cooked.

At around the 70% mark, someone took naked photos of her while she and the MMC were having sex and posted them everywhere to use it against her and destroy her life. That’s all I can remember. I don’t even know if it was a dark romance, but I really wanna finish the series I know I didn’t read the other books
