Hi! I’m looking for romance book recommendations where the main leads haven’t had casual hookups, flings, or one-night stands in their past.
Just to clarify — this doesn’t mean the characters have to be virgins. I’m completely fine with them having had past committed relationships that didn’t work out. I just prefer stories where intimacy isn’t portrayed casually for either lead.
This is more of a personal comfort thing (maybe my South Asian brain showing), but I’ve noticed that a lot of books tend to include casual hookups as backstory, and I’m trying to avoid that.
Any genre or setting is fine. I’d really appreciate any recommendations that fit this!

My favorite romance ever is Corinne by Rebecca Morrow. both of the main characters grew up in a strict Christian faith, then one of the characters left the faith. But neither one of them really hooked up or anyone! It’s cozy and kind of smutty and really sweet. (It is not Christian fiction, it is super sacrilegious.)
