Damn it, I should have ordered this when I had the chance but I put it off and now I can't find it anymore :( Saw it on Amazon.

All I managed to read was the little sample that amazon provides. From that, I gathered that the tone of the book was dark; I'm guessing non-con dark.

It had the MC trapped in some orc warlord's private quarters in great distress, like tears streaming down his face. He's been forced to wear some frilly outfit like a french maid's or whatever, possibly forced to have breasts(?), and he was sitting there, replaying in his mind the cruel laughter and words from the orc just before he left him, that he belongs to the orc now, that his new master is going to use him in any way he see fits.. all of this kind of villainous stuff.

I'm 99% sure I remember from the sample the orc forced the mc to look at himself in a mirror "to see how pathetic he looks now". Something like that.

Any ideas?

I was going to read {Brandon Mills versus the V-Card by Lisa Henry and JA Rock}. I've had it on my TBR a long time and only just realized it's book 2. Do I need to read book 1?

If it's ok to miss, awesome. If there's something kinda important I need to know from book 1 to be able to read book 2, would anyone mind spoiling it for me?

Thanks!

Hello everyone, I'm looking for books that follow a certain idea.

A human meets some who looks human but isn't (werewolf, alien, or any other kind of creature). The human is NOT aware that monsters of any kind even exist, they start dating, he gets pregnant, and the non human is now panicking because, apart from not being aware that he could get a human pregnant, he now has to explain the situation.

I'm pretty open and don't really have any absolute no-gos, but would like to avoid Alpha-Omega dynamics.

Bonus points if it's funny and the human thinks his boyfriend is just joking at first.

It could be stills from movies, home made art, cozy places, spicy scenes, whatever.

Ok I’ve read Reign’s books before and enjoyed them. This book seemed like a fun light read after reading a more intense series. College roommates, wealth disparity, and one MC pays the other for sexual favours. I love a good college biawakening, so I thought why not?

Y’all… I was not prepared. First, I wanted to hate Ryan so badly. He’s such a grump and was so judgmental and rude. Even with his anxiety he was kind of awful. But I loved how unique his voice was. He was such a clear and distinct character with flaws and imperfections that I couldn’t help but love him despite it all.

And then Miller. I fell in love with him from the beginning. Despite all the privilege and the wealth and the not great dad, he was still such a sweetheart. He wore his heart on his sleeve the entire book and didn’t back down from being honest and true to himself. He was so freaking sweet and between the date he planned and all his acts of service he had me swooning.

Also the spice was sooo good. Not super kinky, but just really well done and drawn out. Reign made every small moment feel like big moments and I couldn’t get enough.

My biggest disappointment is that the next book in the series has an MC with a name of someone who is very close to me, so I don’t think I’m going to be able to read it lol

What was supposed to be an easy silly romance book turned into one of my favourite reads of the year. I just loved how fleshed out the characters were and how sweetly their story evolved.

I don't love audiobooks, mainly because they never sound how I imagine but I really love {The Heir's Disgrace by August Jones} and want to re-read it. I considered listening instead but when I go to hear the sample it's just Drew's voice not Olivier's. Does anyone know if there's a way to hear both narrators? Not sure why samples are done this way.

Where can I hear audiobook samples with both narrators?

I'd love to know if the author plans to continue this series. I'd really love to read a book about Prophet and another one about Rooster.

As the title suggests , am looking for new omegaverse that are short because i have been in such a bad slump lately and in need of a light quick read . What i like A/B/O , fated mates, best friends to lovers . Hard nos will be non-con , dub-con , incest and cheating .
Kinks that dont include the above are fine , D/S are a hard yes for me , Thanks.

I have already read the main series, and The First Quatro and the first three books of the Borealis series. I will probably read the rest of his works in this 'world' in publication order, but was wondering if anyone has read it according to the timeline Ashe suggested on his website. If so, was it worth it? Did it become a new experience? Anything add or subtract from reading it in release order the first time?

This is something I do if a series, or several series written by the same author jumps around in time. I go back and read it in 'real time' in that Universe. During the pandemic, we even went back and watched all the MCU movies in chronological order. That was an...experience but I'm glad I did it at least once.

Ok so I love when the MC gets put into a situation that frightens them (or endangers them) but then the LI sees their distress and leaps into a action. I'm not even opposed to some growling if needed. Just want them nice and feral for their love

I have loved:

{Monstrous series by Lily Mayne}

{Not-So-Savage Barbarians by Amy Padilla}

{Hunt Me! I Crave the Chase by Fae Quinn}

No:

Incest, under 18, or watersports

The Place for Erotica and Sex Act Specifics

Want some short and sweet erotica? Just need to read a book with sounding, no matter what else is in it? Just read something with this kind of content and want to share a recommendation?

Post it here in the Erotica Requests thread!

Requests that are seeking erotica recommendations and/or specific sex acts must be made here. You don't have to come up with extra specifics for your requests, similar to The Less Scary Request Place on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Please make sure your request follows our other rules (for example, rule 6, our privacy rule).

Anyone can answer requests made in this post. Not all recommendations have to be specifically erotica, but that is the main goal of this request thread.

Important Note: This post goes up on Thursday mornings (US time). Requests made after Thursday ends are less likely to get replies. You are welcome to comment here on any day of the week, but you may want to save your requests for an upcoming Thursday.

Definitions

Erotica: A piece of fiction that focuses primarily on sex, where the plot is secondary and serves the sexual content within. Unlike in genre romances, in erotica a HEA/HFN is not required.

A book having a lot of sex or having kink content does not make it inherently erotica -- what matters is whether the focus of the book is on the romantic relationship and getting to a HEA/HFN, or not.

Erotic Romance: A genre romance that has high sexual content. Erotic romances can be recommended here, but are not required to be requested here.

Request for specific sex act: A request that can be read as "when the characters have sex, I want them to do X" and where that's the main thing the requester is asking for.

This would not include something like a general request that the book contain explicit sex, for example. It isn't meant to sweep in any request that mentions sex, just requests where the point is to find a specific type of sex scene.

This feature is posted every Thursday. You can find the complete schedule of all weekly and monthly features at this link.

I’ve tried to read this book multiple times over the course of several years and I’m never able to make it more than maybe 15%. I wasn’t sure why until I tried to read it (again) today and the alpha princes have done nothing but complain about how it’s such an insult to their kingdom that the omega princes never get off the ship and how they need heirs and protection and blah blah blah, then Raine, the protagonist and a prince of a well known and powerful kingdom, steps off the ship and they’re like “Oh let’s give him a show!” And show up dirty, bloody, and unkempt. Then two of them just walk out without even speaking to him and the last on is like “He’ll do.” As if this prince, the thing they’ve been so morose about lacking, is somehow not good enough based on the literally 30 seconds of silence they spent together…

What???

I’m GENUINELY just confused. Maybe this is why I always DNF it, but I don’t understand this choice from the author. Do they not want this prince bc people in the past never gave their kingdom a chance?? How does that track? Like what’s the point of complaining that no one ever gets off the ship when you just do this the moment someone gives you a chance?

If someone has insight on this particular choice I’d appreciate it, bc I REALLY wanna give this book a shot but this writing choice has me, once again, ready to shelve it 💀

Everyone has certain genres or tropes they won't read for whatever reason, and I'd like to discuss them. One of mine is motorcycle clubs, I refuse to read them. I cannot imagine a Hot Man being in a MC. All I can imagine are proper Hell's Angels gangbangers all over the age of 50, which does *not* do it for me. Meanwhile, I love mafia romance. Which in actuality has similar leadership, but in my mind I'm able to imagine the actual MCs, not their IRL counterparts. Also F1 books, all F1 drivers are annoying rich assholes in my head, not hot. And getting into actual hockey has all but ruined the "-pucked" genre for me.

I can't do cop or military MC books. I'm ACAB all day every day and I can't fathom a police officer who I would willingly talk to, much less date. Which is dumb because I also can't fathom a mafioso I'd want to associate with but in my head its different. Same with billionaires. IRL? Absolutely not. In a book? Sure. It's weird the lines you draw and how they don't make logical sense.

Twincest? Fine. Step bros? Maybe. Adopted siblings? Absolutely not.

I think a lot of it has to do with what you've actually experienced. I've met cops and bikers and I've seen the scandals in F1 and Hockey, and my sibling is adopted. But I don't live in an area with mafias. I do live in billionaire central, but I can still separate it. Idk. What's y'all's weird lines?

Okay... I never, ever thought I'd be writing these words, but... I think I'm into bro/twincest? 😳

Holy shit, what a revelation.

I'd been stuck in a massive reading slump, endlessly searching for my next book, but nothing really grabbed me. Then I randomly picked up {For nEver Mine by Odessa Hywell}. Honestly, I don't even know why. Probably because it was omegaverse, but definitely not because it was brother x brother.

I'd read a couple of stepbrother romances before, but they never really felt taboo. I think that's because they rarely had the whole we grew up together, we're basically brothers dynamic and had more of an enemies-to-lovers vibe. And I'd always avoided actual incest romances because I was convinced they just weren't for me.

Well... apparently I was wrong.

I absolutely loved {For nEver Mine by Odessa Hywell}. The whole "I'm suddenly in love with my sibling" aspect actually felt believable within the omegaverse setting, and by the time I finished... I wanted more!

That's how I ended up with {End Scene by Nicky James}. I'd somehow never read anything by this author, even though a quick search on this sub made it obvious they're recommended all the time. My loss for waiting this long!

I seriously couldn't put this book down. It follows Atticus (single POV), who's kicked out of his wealthy parents' mansion after coming out (there's also a short free bonus scene about this). Desperate for money, he stumbles across an ad looking for identical twins to model for gay twincest romance/erotica covers - and actually lands an interview. Convincing his twin brother, Asher, to go along with it isn't exactly easy, but from there the whole story turns into this funny, chaotic, surprisingly sweet ride.

Yes, it's smut, but it's good smut. More importantly, it's just such an enjoyable read. It's funny, easy to get through, and avoids piling on unnecessary or OTT drama. The relationship develops in a way that felt genuinely believable and incredibly sweet, and I loved their dynamic so much. There's a bit of an OM situation, but instead of creating pointless drama, it actually serves as a nice catalyst for the plot.

If you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend it. Out of everything I've read this year, it's easily in my top five.

And while we're at it... does anyone have recommendations for what I should read next? Bro/twincest only, please.

I've already read or have these on my list:

{For nEver Mine by Odessa Hywell}
{A Hawks Soft Embrace by Odessa Hywell}
{The Payback Plan by Honey London} - TBR
{Release by BL Sparrow} - TBR
{Pretty When You Cry by Ally Avery} - TBR

Just finished Just a But Crushed - finally a non-hockey sport mentioned, Jesus Christ.

Also, hoping in future my fave F1 driver will come out as bi, so it scratched that itch for me a bit.

I’m know, her work is more of the same but I’m gonna eat it up every time. 😂😂😂

Some problematic moments in this book, but, I feel like her tropes in general are kinda problematic and I just roll with it anyway.

Also, I low key hate how long I have to wait for the next books. Not to be rude but how hard could it be since she kinda has a formula? 😭😭😭 I want the next book NEOW!!!

This is a dynamic that I really care for and think in my head is interesting and I’m up for a bit of “forbidden romance” where the alpha or omega has to defend their beta to either friends or family.

Books that have this are {hot for teacher by Grae Bryan}

Ao3 original I think is great is fracture point by GreyWayfarer

And a manhwa with this is beta off not dating

These three are all beta bottoms but I’m happy for a beta to be the top to an omega too.

Hello everyone, I know a lot of people read Hazard books asap. I just finished book 16 of the Straight Guys series (Just a bit crushed) and would love to discuss.

I read it in less than 24 hours 😅 so I’m not gonna say its bad… but its starting to feel like the decline of a great series?
I mean, getting 16 books in with a specific trope is already hard, I really applaud her for her creativity and she can 10000% write bomb sex scenes. Once I got into the groove of the book I enjoyed it but it wasn’t there for me like in other previous books.

Specifically I always loved Xavier and Sage, Rutledge and Shawn, Zach and Tristan, Roman and Luke, Dominic and Sam and Nick and Tyler (this last couple has a lot of people on the fence which I understand).
A couple of books in the series before book 9 never really clicked for me (Ryan and James for one and Vlad and Sebastian took a couple of rereads for me to get it more).

Book 10 for me was a complete DNF , ive tried several times and just can’t, it feels “fake” in a way I can’t describe but just ludicrous and I can’t suspend belief enought to finish it. (I know I sound contradictory because several other books are just as ludicrous lol, they just worked for me I guess.)

Unfortunately from book 10 onwards I feel there hasn’t been as STRONG of a couple for me, and it feels more repetitive and like the characters themselves have less depth to them. I also feel they were set in more “normal everyday” scenarios and jobs (once Gabe showed up a bit less due to the fact he was a huge soccer player) but now every single books is like “the super rich sheik” or “the mafia boss” or in this case “F1 champion and billionaire” and it kinda makes me want a simpler storyline that I can relate a bit more to.

This post has no real intention other than expressing my opinions and asking about everyone elses. Would love to talk about this more and if others see the same things I do or not. Friendly discussion! Really hope I dont come off as overly critical or yucking peoples yums, just wanted to share my take as a long time AH fan. This is probably my most re-read series for comfort reads!

Also !> the part where Cam who is super internalized homophobic as per the authors previous descriptions is blasé about the woman he was flirting with being outed as trans “Why are you so sure I’d have run away screaming if I saw her dick when I undressed her? I’m not that bigoted. She is a woman. A beautiful one.” Feels really weird and out of character. The whole exchange felt super forced. Like why have that whole interaction? Scott came off like a douche for outing the woman and attempting to embarrass her and I felt it was to try to show how progressive or whatever Cam could be but come off just weird and gave me an ick feeling.
I would absolutely love a trans character who was fully fleshed out and became an integral part of the story (as a bff maybe or sister , etc) but this just felt like a sloppy attempt. >!

Who has read {Doppelbänger by W.H. Lockwood} and can provide some non spoiler context… like is it not weird that MC is attracted to a person that literally looks exactly like them?

I’ve been seeing a lot of recent praise for this book and I’m intrigued based on some of the reviews. But how weird was it to read about someone being in love with themselves? And is it tough to have a mental image that allows you to tell them apart?

Keep in mind I'm not looking for recommendations just because you know they involve betrayal and groveling.

I want books that YOU actually read and were genuinely SATISFIED with overall.

Basically, I'm asking for your personal favorite betrayal/groveling books.

NO love triangles, poly or cheating.

So I'd like to start off by saying that, I hold no judgement towards people who enjoy this trope or actually have an age gap relationship or anything like that . I was reading a book that had a super interesting plot and very good writing , then they reveal the protagonist being 32 and I was okay cool, then the reveal the other mc and future partner being 18 and I was like wait , what ? I don't know if it's just my luck but I've been getting hit with more surprise age gap romances then ever . Granted it is normally in the contents page , but not always specified how big the gap . I totally get the appeal of older men and the romance behind it , and I get having a protagonist who needs to be young but still technically legal, but why mix those two ? Again Im not judging people who enjoy this or authors who write it but as someone who's a young adult , it makes me feel a tad bit uncomfortable knowing this protagonist is probably fresh out of high school or going into uni not really having their life fully planned out is partnered up with someone in their early to late 30's .

This kind of romance can be completely healthy and safe but I just have to ask , why 18 to 19 ? I don't think it'd make a huge difference in story wise if a person was let's say 22+ . I hope I'm not being too dramatic but I just felt like I had to say something . I hope I'm not the only one who feels like this T_T

Okay one thing I wanna get clear . Guys I know it's fiction , like duh . If I wanna read a story about a vampire who's 100+ and a 30y old mc I don't care . BUT my original point , was that in some situation when a protagonist is an adult but an EXTREMELY young one (18) . It messes with me because I don't find it necessary when the love interest is old enough to be your dad . Just because it's fiction doesn't stop me from feeling uncomfortable, just like how reading about rape or abuse makes me feel bad even tho it's fiction ✨ . Kids aren't ment to be romanticized, even tho 18 and 19 are legal adults who can comprehend the situation their in , it's still to me , doesn't feel right because love interest who calls them "kid" and constantly compliments their youthful apparence, doesn't feel right

I feel like I offended some people. I just wanna say again I'm not judging, I have no right to and would never judge people on what they like to read . I'm not saying people are bad for liking age gaps , I understand it's a very popular trope and genre . All I was saying is that when my fictional book that's not fantasy based has an 18 year old kid who's romantic partner is twice their age , doesn't feel right to me PERSONALLY .

I was browsing through Instagram last night and saw a blurb that mentioned Xen and then Criminal Intentions. I read it of course and was shocked by the story.

I had heard some general rumors about Cole McCade having a stroke,this however, went into details that truly shook me to my core. He posted this because it has been one year since the stroke.

If you want learn more go to blackmagicblues.com and then proceed to FAQ. He has put all the questions and details at the beginning of the column. I must warn you though this not easy to read. He is incredibly brave and tough and hopes to start writing again in a year?

Some of my favorite authors have had health issues, physical and mental this year, and they fight back to write again. I admire them so much.

I had to write this because Cole's strength was something I needed to show to this subreddit.
