Hi, this is my first ever Reddit post, so I apologize if there is a typical way to go about requests that I’m not following correctly.
I’ve just recently started getting into romance books. I’ve always liked when a romance was a subplot to a novel, but I never went out of my way to read a full-blown romance story.
But I took a dive into the genre, and I am liking some of the books I’ve read (which is not many).
My thing is that I don’t want a lot of smut — not that I mind smut, but I love slow burn romances, yearning, and overall buildup/development. Not the kind of plots where it’s right off the bat physicality.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a newbie that’s still getting her toes wet in the romance genre? I’m open to any kind of storylines or other sub-genres (just nothing super dark, please).
