Romance Recs: Dark Romances

Nov 7, 2021

I haven’t done one of these posts in a while. Now that I’ve read more and more dark romances, I thought it would be the perfect time for me to share some recommendations. If you haven’t check out the rest of my romance recs series – you can right here.

Dark romances aren’t for everyone. They just aren’t. And honestly, I didn’t really start reading them until sometime last year. I’ve read a lot of MC, but they have been only semi-dark. But the books that I am sharing with you today are dark. They are different levels of dark, but they aren’t easy reads. Because of this, all of these books have major trigger warnings.

While most books have their own trigger and content warnings, what these books include are much darker and harder to read at times. So please check the trigger warning for each book before you proceed. Like always these are in no order.

7th Circle (Hades #1) by Tate James: No surprise that this one has made it to my list. I just recently finished reading this series and I think I like it even more than Madison Kate. I found this one a lot darker though. Everything is a lot harsher and way more intense. Trigger and content warnings Include abuse, gun violence, sexual assault and r*pe, torture and more.

Dangerous Temptation by Giana Darling: This is a recent read of mine – you can read my full review now if you would like. And while this one isn’t as dark as some of the other books on this list. It has many dark elements and have a feeling that the second book is going to be much more intense. Triggers and content warnings include; death of parents, criminal activities, gun violence, age gap, taboo romance, child abuse off the page and more. My full review of this one is now up.

Steps (Finding Their Muse #1) by Bea Paige: This one I feel is the darkest of the Bea Paige books that I have read so far – however, I know that her newest series is also pretty dark. I really enjoyed the concept of this one a lot. It was full of mystery, but also the romance was really intriguing. This does include a reverse harem. Trigger and content warnings include; death, talks of self-harm, PTSD, depression and dark themes.

Havoc at Prescott High (The Havoc Boys #1) by C.M. Stunich: This one is a dark bully reverse harem romance set in high school. It’s intense and a lot of things happen, but it’s also addicting and I could not put it down. There are a lot of trigger and content warnings for this one. Some of these include; gun violence, death, sexual assault, physical violence and more.

Scars (The Triad #1) by Dana Isaly: This is a book and author that I discovered this year and I’ve now read two books from Dana and I’m about to start a third. This is a dark reverse harem that includes kidnapping and the triad. I ended up reading this in a few hours because I could not put it down and now I’m super excited for the rest of the books in this series. Trigger and content warnings include: kidnapping, violence, triad, death, torture, child abuse off the page and more

Den of Vipers by K.A. Knight: I was not expecting to like this book as much as I did. And while it’s not the best written or has the best plot. It’s full of high intensity and I couldn’t stop reading it. This is again a dark reverse harem romance that includes kidnapping. Trigger and Content Warnings that include: references of abuse/assault, violence, kidnapping, knife play dubious activities. You can check out my full review here.

And there we go. Those are just some of the dark romances that I recommend. Have you read any of these? What did you think of them? Are you planning on reading them? Have you read any dark romances? What do you recommend? Let’s Chat!

Romance Recs | Binge-Worthy Romance Series

Sep 19, 2020

Today it’s time for another romacne recommendations posts. Today I’m sharing some of my favourite binge-worthy series. I recently did this with YA series and since I love binge reading romance series, even more, I thought it would be fun.

I love starting a romance series and finishing it in a couple of days. And I don’t know why. But I love that I can immerse myself into the world and only get out when it’s finished. So today I’m sharing some of my favourite series that I think are binge-worthy. Like always these are in no particular order.

Becker Brothers by Kandi Steiner: This series was such an interesting and binge-worthy. I adore family series and this one has to be one of my favourites. It’s fun, entertaining and addicting. I couldn’t stop reading. I loved that there was an overarching story throughout the whole series too.

WAGS series by Naima Simone: This series was such a fun one to binge read. I know that there is most likely more to come, but I think I would still feel the same way. It’s fun and easy. It’s a little emotional, but nothing that will tear you apart. You can check out my series review now.

Duke Dynasty by Sabrina Jeffries: This is such a fantastic historical romance that is perfect for binge reading. There are still more books to come, but even then I would binge read it. It’s another one that has a plot that goes through all the books and I love it.

The Fallen Men by Giana Darling: MC series are some of my favourites to binge read. And The Fallen Men Series is binge-worthy. It’s hot and heavy and I want to know what’s going to happen next. I read all the books that were out in just a few days, I couldn’t put them down.

Cloverleigh Farms Series by Melanie Harlow: This is the perfect binge-worthy series. Each book can stand on its own, but it all works so well together. The romances are fantastic and I couldn’t put this series down once I started. It has all the tropes that I adore and makes me want to keep on reading.

All the King’s Men Duet by Kennedy Ryan: This duet is binge-worthy because you need to know what’s going to happen next. You can’t finish the first book and not jump to the second. There is too much at stake to just stop reading.

Fallen Angel by Ella Frank and Brooke Blaine: I wasn’t expecting to like this series as much as I did. It’s one of those series that you have to read books back to back. There are cliffhangers and you will want to keep on reading. And it’s one that you can easily binge read.

Wallflowers series by Lisa Kleypas: If this isn’t a binge-worthy series I don’t know what is. This is one of my favourite series that I binge read. I just couldn’t stop reading the books. I think this is my favourite of all her series. Maybe because it’s the first I read, or maybe because I love the friendships so much.

Brooklyn Bruisers by Sarina Bowen: This is one of my favourite sports romance series and I think it’s one of the most binge-worthy. It’s addicting to read, even when I re-read this series I end up binge reading it. I think this is my favourite Sarina Bowen series for sure.

And those are some of my favourite binge-worthy romances series! Do we share any that is the same? What are yours? Let’s Chat!

Romance Recs: Favourite Historical Romances

Aug 27, 2020

This year I’ve started a new feature where I share my romance recommendations for certain genres and sub-genres. And I can’t believe that I haven’t done a historical romance one yet and I thought today was about time.

I’ve been reading historical romances for over two years now and its slowly become one of my favourite subgenres of romance. It has everything that I love in a romance and more. So today I’m sharing some of my favourite historical romances that I think everyone should read. Like always these are in no order.

Unmasked by the Marquess (Regency Imposters #1) by Cat Sebastian: I not only love this book so much but this whole series. But this one features a nonbinary protagonist and I love it so much. It’s such a change from other historical romances and it’s perfect. They are fun, entertaining reads that are not only diverse but still have the classic historical romacne feel.

A Lady Never Tells (Women of Daring #1) by Lynn Winchester: I wasn’t expecting to like this one as much as I did. But I loved the female lead. So much. Plus the plot is sticking and so much fun. I love that it’s different and adventurous. It makes for an interesting read. I can’t wait to read more books in this series.

Secrets of a Summer Night (Wallflowers #1) by Lisa Kleypas: If I could put all of Lisa Kleypas books in this list I would. But I’m sticking with 1 book per series. And this has to be my favourite in this series. I love all the book but this one has a special place in my heart. I love the romance in this one by far. It’s just fantastic.

Appetites & Vices (The Truitts #1) by Felicia Grossman: I enjoyed reading this one. I liked that it wasn’t set in the UK – which I had been used to by then. I loved that it looked at a different religion. It’s just an interesting read and I want more people to read Felicia Grossman.

Wicked and the Wallflower (The Bareknuckle Bastards #1) by Sarah MacLean: If you haven’t picked this book up yet – please do. It’s fantastic. It has a fantastic romance, a plot that you don’t want to stop reading. And fantastic characters. I loved the mystery elements of this one a lot and I can’t wait to read the rest.

Love in the Afternoon (The Hathaways #5) by Lisa Kleypas: This by far has to be my favourite from the series. I’ve said it before but I adore Beatrix and I can’t talk enough about her. I love that she is different and is who she is. It just makes for such a fun, entertaining read.

Bringing Down the Duke (A League of Extraordinary Women #1) by Evie Dunmore: I need more people to read this one. It’s seriously fantastic. It is a fabulous debut novel and I can’t wait to read the second book. I love the time that it explores – which I hadn’t read anything from.

Who Wants to Marry a Duke (Duke Dynasty #3) by Sabrina Jeffries: I hadn’t read a Sabrina Jeffries book before I picked one up a couple of months ago and now I’m in love. This one was such a wonderful reading experience and has everything that I look for in a historical romance. I adored Thorn and Oliva as both protagonists and lovers.

Cold-Hearted Rake (The Ravenels #1) by Lisa Kleypas: This is the last of the Lisa Kleypas series I’ve read and I love it as much as the others. The first book in this series though stands out to me. The romance to hate to love, forbidden and everything else. It’s just fantastic.

Rebel (Women Who Dare #1) by Beverly Jenkins: I can’t believe that I hadn’t picked a Beverly Jenkins book up until a couple of months ago, because they are fantastic. This is my favourite of the ones that I have read so much because the romance is so good. I just can’t. They are one of my favourite couples. I love that it’s set in a different time than other historical romances and it’s hella diverse – which I adore.

I’m sure as I read more and more historical romances this list will grow and change. Have you read any of these? What did you think of them? What are some of your favourite historical romances? Let’s Chat!
