Book Recommendations Request

📚 Looking for romance book recs!

I’m mainly looking for contemporary romance with:

✨ FMC POV only OR very minimal MMC POV

✨ Slow burn with lots of tension/chemistry before it gets steamy

✨ NO insta-love

✨ Broody/grumpy/guarded MMC who eventually falls HARD

✨ Strong romantic buildup + emotional payoff

✨ Open to most tropes: enemies-to-lovers, workplace, fake dating, forced proximity, rivals, etc.

🚫 Not a big fan of friends-to-lovers

🚫 Not really into HR

Would also LOVE fantasy romance recs if they fit this vibe 👀

Books I absolutely loved:

💘 Contemporary:

\- The Opposite of You by Rachel Higginson

\- The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas

\- Honestly, I'm Totally Faking It By Amanda Gambil

\- The Favour By Suzanne Wright

\- The Love Hypothesis By Ali Hazelwood

\- Hero by Samantha Young

\- On the Dublin street by Samantha Young

\- Turbulence by Whitney G

🐉 Fantasy Romance:

\- Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros

\- The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent

\- From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout

\- Powerless by Lauren Roberts

Basically looking for addictive romances with amazing chemistry, tension that makes you scream, and MMCs who are down BAD by the end 😭❤️
