Hi fellow readers! I’m looking for books that match one of these three story vibes. If you’ve read anything like these, I’d love your recommendations! Each one is a separate request, so feel free to reply to whichever speaks to you 💬
💍 Book 1: Married or Established Couple Navigating Life or Espionage
- Adult protagonists only—already a couple or married
- No cheating, no third-party drama, just them
- Can be contemporary, historical fiction, or action-packed
- Bonus points if they’re solving mysteries, doing spy stuff, or just vibing through life with emotional depth and teamwork
- Think: cozy but competent, like Mr. & Mrs. Smith minus the angst
🎯 Book 2: Action-Packed Adventure with Friends-to-Lovers or Quirky Romance
- Real-world setting or sci-fi preferred (not fantasy)
- Spy missions, survival, or high-stakes action welcome
- Main characters are either friends-to-lovers or already romantically involved
- I love quirky male leads—someone like Thomas Cresswell (from Stalking Jack the Ripper) who’s clever, charming, and a little eccentric
- Think: banter, chemistry, and adrenaline
🚨 Book 3: Survival Plot with Group Dynamics + Budding Romance
- A group of friends trying to survive together (natural disaster, escape scenario, etc.)
- Budding romance woven into the tension
- Something like Five Survive by Holly Jackson—fast-paced, character-driven, and emotionally engaging
- Bonus if the romance feels earned and the group dynamics are strong
Thanks in advance for any recs! 💛
