Help me find a book with something similar?
Hey, I’m looking for teacher (male) x student (female) or forbidden romance recommendations, but I’m very particular about the kind of dynamic I enjoy in these stories.
Here’s what I’m into:
Deliberate teasing and denial: I love when the FL is the one who’s dark, obsessive, and constantly teasing the ML, getting close to him on purpose while acting innocent.
Cold, distant ML: I enjoy when the ML is emotionally cold and rude, completely unbothered by the FL’s provocations (or at least pretending to be). I love the tension when he doesn’t fall for her right away.
Power dynamics: The forbidden aspect of the relationship is a must, and I love the tension that comes from the ML being in a position of authority.
Emotional intensity: The relationship should have deep emotional tension with a slow burn, but not too slow—something like The Unrequited by Saffron A. Kent.
No wealth or life complications: I prefer stories where the characters don’t have money problems or complicated backstories that distract from the central relationship.
Books I’ve enjoyed:
-
The Unrequited by Saffron A. Kent
-
A Girl Obsessed by Zee Shine Storm (liked it mostly because it was short and had the right dynamic)
3.love unexpected by Q.B tyler ( I was shocked I thought I wouldn't like it but this really has lot of spice level 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Books I didn’t connect with:
I didn’t enjoy the writing styles of Penelope Douglas or Pam Godwin. In my opinion, they lack the kind of sexual tension and emotional intensity I’m looking for. Also, I prefer when the ML doesn’t fall for the FL first.
