I feel like in most romace books there's always some kind of dom-sub / top-bot dynamic (even just personality wise), one partner taking away the other's agency or any other way of expressing the idea that one partner is below the other somehow.
So my queetion is if ther are any romance / erotica books where both partners (idk about genders or sexes at this point, i'm seeking good representation) are / feel equal?

I recently discovered Julia Connors and binged all her books. In each book the MCs both have their own careers, money and support each other. Her most recent book “Cross Checked” the MFC is the first female GM in the NHL and the MMC is the team captain. He’s so supportive of her high powered career. They’re all pretty spicy.
So I would say in all of these there is a push/pull where in some places one is more experienced or more confident, but in others the other is.
Trick Play by Eden Finley -MM queer romance – Pro football player is outed against his will and fake dates a rich son of a politician to get his reputation back.
The Fakeout by Stephanie Archer – FM – they fake date because her ex joins the team where she is a trainer. He sort of takes control in the bedroom in terms of dirty talk but their relationship is very equal and she is more in charge of the bedroom activities in truth.
King of Thieves by Saxon James – MM queer romance – frat guys in opposing frats start to date. It’s so dumb and fratty but also so good.
Love Lettering by Kate Clayborn – MF – she puts a secret message in his wedding invitation. The wedding doesn’t happen and he figures out the message and goes to find her. No cheating, not a rebound, friends to lovers.
I recommend this on all romance posts but Discovery of Witches. They’re both equal in power, influence and even sexuality. I love those books.
