I’m looking for books, shorts, manga (or anything else), of stories that more or less center around a romantic plot. The kicker is: I desperately need my devoted/ undyingly loving male leads. Insta-love or fated mates is the obvious answer, but far from the only one.
I greatly enjoy monster romance (any non-human race will do), and classic(ish) fantasy settings similar to D&D/LOTR. Pregnancies or the ML desiring a pregnancy are huge bonuses. Childish or younger audiences are preferred. Adult romance is more than welcome, I just don’t particularly enjoy my entertainment to be too heavy or depressing. Science Fiction is also welcomed even if I favor fantasy, creative anatomy is a very spicy plus.
I prefer straight romance, gay is a pleasant surprise, but I don’t personally care for lesbian romance or polyamory.
I don’t particularly care for modern settings, alpha males, or overly complicated plotlines. Psychological torture/manipulation are my biggest hard passes in books, no horror of any kind either. Combat violence/gore is more than okay, domestic violence of any kind is NOT. Rude men are a turn off, but gruff yet sweet is absolutely adorable.
Simple, sweet, and loving please!
I greatly enjoy Zoe Ashwood’s Black Bear Clan series, very light and fluffy. I read all four badly translated Heaven Official’s Blessing novels and loved them. The twilight books count towards something I might like even if the reality isn’t quite my cup of tea, I still read them all despite Breaking Dawn’s over the top drama.
My dream book is probably The Lady Knight or Protector of the Small series by Tamora Pierce but spicy and a bit more romance-heavy.
Thank you for reading my novella! I know my tastes are specific and I’m overly sensitive to darker media, so I truly appreciate every recommendation I get. Nothing will go to waste, I swear!
