This is hands down one of the darkest most unhinged book I've ever read.  Taboo Adoptive siblings.  Can be read as a standalone, but technically a duet.  My sweet sweet Malachi <3

This book is one of my all time favorite standalones! Amo Jones is queen at mind f*cks! It's a dark romance meets romantic suspense that leaves you guessing what is really going on. This is a foster brother romance and contains a lot of dark eleme...

This duet is DARK, so please check your trigger warnings. This is also a tear jerker, so the ending is debatable whether it is a happy ending or not. It's hard to call this book a romance, but it's rather a masterfully crafted book about toxic and b...

This is a PNR bully romance. This book is perfect for spooky season! The town is haunted, the men are ruthless and brutal. This is also a stepbrother romance, and as always a super dark romance that I implore you to check you trigger warnings!

This is an adoptive sibiling romance.  This is a second generation to the Hollow Boys series (and because I love it so much and there's lots of mention of the parents, I suggest starting there). Extreme enemies to lovers!

I recommend the audiobook!  It's done in duet narration! This is for my slow burn mafia romance lovers who love an obssessed MMC.
Devil in Ruin: Dark Mafia Romance (Broken Heirs 2)

This book has some of my favorite spicy scenes of all time.  This is an extreme bully romance with a sassy FMC who can give back as good as the MMC gives.  Their romance is toxic and deliscious.

Primal Play and true enemies to lovers.  Bisexual awakenings. The spicy scenes are top tier, but this is very dark romance.

One of my favorite couples this year.  The spice level was insane amazing!  I could not have asked for a better MM romance.  I will recommend always.

This is book two in the salacious player's club, but it can be read as a standalone.  This book is spicy and explores BDSM and voyeurism. This is a step sibling romance.

The way this book destroyed me about three times over.  I cried almost all the way through this book.  There is a happily ever after, but it is HARD earned.  Adoptive siblings.
