BDSM lovers, this one would be a good one for you. I found it just a smidge cringe/cheesy at times compared to other BDSM books, but overall it was pretty good.
Master Thor (Masters of Midgard Book 1)
This book is, well, different. If you don't have an open mind or if you don't teeter to the taboo side with your books, I would pass this one. Now I enjoyed this story, but you need to have an open mind to appreciate it.
Poppy - Kailee Samuels
I enjoyed this book, but you will not if stories that include abuse/torture are not your forte. If dark stories are your thing, this one is a solid read, Jennifer Bene (author) I really enjoy. Please check trigger warnings
Breaking Beth (The Beth Series Book 1)

Just Plain Dark - AKA not fun/spicy
These ones are not for fun and you probably won't enjoy them. But if I have read it, even if I don't like it I will atleast link to warn you and give my two cents.
NOT A SPICE BOOK. DARK and tough to stomach at times but well done. This involves kids, it's hard/heavy story. I'm including this because I liked the book, but I don't think I could ever reread this. CHECK TRIGGER WARNINGS
Into the Wolves' Den
NOT ENJOYABLE - this is an EXTREME novella, that is sick and twisted. Some parts had me gagging. I enjoy horror, but this was too the extreme because of the detail. If you are stumbling upon this book, head the warnings.
