Hello! Most of the fictional reading I do for pleasure is mystery/police novels, lots of Agatha Christie. I have never been into romance books as I’ve found them to be too cheesy or depressing most of the time. But, I want to change that. I wanna read more romance, but these are some aspects I’m looking for:
– no y/a content. I want something more mature for adults, with adult characters
– no violent or toxic tropes: no kidnapping, bully/enemies turned lovers, no verbal abuse that gets resolved. I want likable characters and not abusive ones that you end up “sympathizing” with because they had it rough.
– minimal to non existent smut/sexual content
– preferably I’d like it to have a happy ending
– no fantasy (vampires, witches, aliens..etc)
For reference, I love the works of Guillaume Musso, specifically Central Park. Books with Mystery/police with a touch of romance would be great!
Thanks in advance!
