Hi everyone! I’m looking for my next read and I’m torn between two specific vibes. I’ve read everything by Elle Kennedy and Penelope Douglas, so I need something new that hits these spots:
Vibe 1: The "Elle Kennedy" energy
My favorites are The Score and The Dixon Rule. I love the witty banter, the "reformed playboy" trope, and the high-energy college sports setting. I’m looking for something funny, fast-paced, and spicy, where the chemistry feels natural.
Vibe 2: The "Credence" energy
I’m also obsessed with the setting of Credence. I’m looking for books with:
- "Woodsy" / Mountain vibes: Cabins, forests, isolation.
- Small town / Lockdown feeling: Forced proximity where they are stuck together.
- High Spice: I didn’t love Birthday Girl as much, so I'm looking for something grittier and more atmospheric like the mountain setting in Credence.
TL;DR: I want either a hilarious, spicy sports romance (like Dean Di Laurentis vibes) OR a dark, isolated, "stuck in the woods" romance.
What are your absolute must-reads for these tropes? Thanks!
