19
items If you like red flags, toxic relationships, possessive men, spice, drama and books that make you say “WTF am I reading?” — welcome 😂 These are books I’ve actually read and would recommend. Some are sweet, some are dark, and some are completely unhin...
Cute, spicy and super easy to fly through. Hockey romance + forced proximity + plenty of spice. This is a good one if you want something fun without getting into super dark romance territory. 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Ice Breaker
If you’re into sexy biker guys, violence, possessive men, lots of drama and spice… yep. 😂 This series is dark, messy and definitely NOT a sweet little romance. Check the trigger warnings before jumping in. 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Devil's Reach Series by J.L. Drake
This one had me hooked fast. It’s emotional, messy, romantic, and has enough twists to keep you reading way too late. If you like books that make you mad, sad, and obsessed all at once, read this one. 😂
November 9 by Colleen Hoover: Full Summary, Plot Twist ...
This one is emotional in the best and worst way. 😭 It’s about grief, mistakes, forgiveness, and trying to rebuild your life when everyone already thinks they know who you are. Definitely one of those books that sticks with you after you finish it.
Book Review: Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover
This one is way darker and messier than the typical Colleen Hoover book. Obsession, toxic relationships, danger, drama… basically red flags everywhere 😂 Definitely check trigger warnings, but if you like darker books that keep you stressed and hooke...
Too Late - by Colleen Hoover (Paperback)
Miles is basically one giant emotionally unavailable red flag 😂 This one has spice, heartbreak, baggage and plenty of “girl, what are you DOING?” moments. If you like messy relationships and books that hurt your feelings a little, this is a good one...

Reason to Breathe: 9781477817148: Donovan, Rebecca
Alex Volkov is basically a giant red flag in an expensive suit and apparently that’s my weakness 😂 He’s cold, possessive, emotionally constipated and somehow still hot enough to make bad decisions seem reasonable. Add in brother’s best friend, drama...
Twisted Love:
Listen… is Christian Grey a walking red flag with money and serious control issues? Absolutely. Did that stop me from reading it? Obviously not. 😂🚩 This is basically “girl, PLEASE make better choices” mixed with spice, drama and a man who desperate...
Fifty Shades Trilogy (Fifty Shades of Grey)
Apparently my taste in fictional men is “would absolutely require a restraining order in real life.” 😂🚩 Ryat is possessive, controlling, completely unhinged and somehow we’re just supposed to carry on like that’s not the whole reason we’re reading....
The Ritual: A Dark College Romance
Listen… if a man did ANY of this in real life, we’re calling the police. Immediately. 😂 But fictional me apparently has no standards because here I am. 🫠🚩 Zade is obsessive, possessive, creepy as hell and basically one giant walking felony… and so...
Haunting Adeline Hardcover Set
This book had me questioning my morals, my judgment, and quite frankly why I kept turning the damn pages. 😂 Three men. One girl. Snowed-in mountain cabin. Absolutely NO adult supervision apparently. 🫠🚩 Every few chapters you’re gonna think “surely...
Killian isn’t morally gray. That man skipped gray, drove straight through black and set the color wheel on fire. 😂🚩 Possessive, manipulative, obsessive and approximately 97 reasons to call the police. Naturally, we’re reading it. 🤦♀️🌶️ If “he’s ...
A Dark College Romance (Legacy of Gods 1)
So apparently “masked man stalking me” is a romance trope now and APPARENTLY I’m listening. 😂🔪🚩 Josh is giving creepy, obsessed and weirdly adorable at the exact same time—which should NOT work, yet here we are. Dark, kinky, funny and spicy AF. Ba...
Lights Out: A Dark Stalker Rom-Com - Books
Michael Crist is NOT coming to communicate his feelings like a healthy adult. 😂 Absolutely not. We’re doing revenge, obsession, mind games and enough toxic behavior to make a therapist buy a vacation home. 🚩😭 Dark, twisted and spicy with major “I ...
Corrupt (Devil's Night) - Douglas, Penelope: Books
Enemies-to-lovers except “enemies” feels a little too polite for whatever the hell these two have going on. 😂🚩 They’re stranded together, they HATE each other, the sexual tension is completely inappropriate and everybody involved needs several year...
Does It Hurt?: An Enemies to Lovers Romance
Aero said “boundaries?” Never heard of her. 😂🚩 Obsession, stalking, religion, revenge and a man who is VERY committed to being somebody’s problem. This is not your cute little enemies-to-lovers romance. This is “should I be concerned that I’m enjoy...
THAT SIK LUV: 9798378326655: Hall, Jescie: Books
Apparently one L.O.R.D.S. man wasn’t enough bad decision-making for us. 😂🚩 If The Ritual had you thinking “wow, these people need help” and then immediately buying another book… HI, SAME PROBLEM. Dark, possessive, filthy and absolutely not the plac...
The Sinner: A Dark College Romance
Imagine having a sweet little childhood pen pal and then growing up just to discover you’re both kind of assholes. 😂😭 Misha + Ryen are messy, mean, horny and absolutely TERRIBLE at just saying what they feel like normal people. The tension though??...
