Forbidden small town romance with slow burn
Hi !! Im looking for a forbidden contemporary small-town romance with a REAL slow burn (well written please) with tension, angsty and not too much of spice !! I really wanna feel the small-town setting, with gossip, the "everybody knows each other", etc..
Would not like :
- doormat fmc
- insta-love trope
- romantasy, historical or paranormal romance
- second chance, fake dating or arranged marriage trope.
- MCs in their 30s
- reverse harem, why choose, poly romance
- kidnapping or stalking
- YA
Would like :
- Contemporary romance or dark romance
- MCs in their 20s
- M/F romance
- slooooow burn
- enemies to lovers, forced proximity, the MMC/FMC is with someone else
- girly, feminine, confident FMC
- book released after 2021/2022
Some books with these kinds of tropes that I loved :
- {The Highlight by Alyssa Wilde} !!!
- {Bad Cruz by Lj Shen}
- {Sunday Morning by Jewel E. Ann} !!!
- {The Apple Tree by Jewel E. Ann} !!!
- {Small Town Smokeshow by Holly Renee} !!!
- {Kiss now, lie later by C.W Farnsworth}
- {The summer i first saw you by Elizabeth O’Roark}
- {Older by Jennifer Hartmann} {Birthday Girl by Penelope Douglas} (not really small town romances but i loved these books sm)
- {The Confidence of Wildflowers by Micalea Smeltzer}
Thanks!!!!
