Love your comment on the separation of reality and fiction. I feel like the word "problematic" gets thrown around so often and authors get so much hate for writing about some of the more taboo subjects/relationships. People can absolutely enjoy a book and not support that kind of thing in real life and if a reader cannot do so then they should probably not be reading it. Everyone loves The Hunger Games but obviously would never support children being put into an arena to fight to the death in real life. I wish more people could understand this aspect of art and fiction. Thank you for stating so in your video!
I love dark steamy books. Please recommend more like these. 1. Crossfire series - Sylvia Day 2. Ravenhood series - Kate Stewart 3.Masters and Mercenaries Series - Lexi Blake 4. This Man Series - Jodi Ellen Malpas 5. Up in the Air Series - R.K. Lilley
This Man and Crossfire series are some of my favs! If you want similar I also loved Fixed On You series by Laurelin Page, Beauty From Pain by Georgia Cates, and Annihilate Me series by Christina Ross. Also One Night Series by JEM if you haven’t already read is great.
Madison Kate by Tate James The Sainthood by Siobhan Davis Brutal Boys of Everlake Prep by Caroline Peckham Royal Elite by Rina Kent Devils Night by Penelope Douglas EKC is one of my favorites too.
Love your channel. Between you and Jenn at The Book Refuge suggestions, I’ve really gotten turned on to “saucy” romances. Also, have a Happy Birthday! 🎂
Off balance is literally one of my fav series, i love kova and ria so much that i read everything in five days and i plan on read it all over again (i already reread one time)!!! It makes me sad that i cannot talk about this with my friends because most of them will judge me LOL
My top five favorite series are: The sweet home series by Tillie Cole The off balance series The stay with me series The voyeur series The scared souls series by Tillie cole
I'm reading the stay with me series now... And I must say I love it so far and I keep thinking about mia and ollie, I genuinely loveeeee this. I'm still on book 1 and ill definitely be continuing with the rest. Thanks to mary for the brilliant recs she gives us ❤ Also I loved Voyeur I was hooked 😬
I just started the audiobook for Voyeur and I’m really enjoying it! I’m excited to read the rest of the series. And I really have to pick up Nicole Fiorina!
Since you love Cora Reilly another author n series I would highly recommend would be Machiavellian (Gangsters of New York Book 1) Bella Di Corte. It’s the closest I’ve gotten to Cora level writing🙌🏾
New subscriber to your channel 💯❤️ I read the sinner of saints series in your recommendation! I'm loving it! You're one of the youtubers that helped me get through the pandemic 💓
My top 5 would have to be: Fae Chronicles by Amelia Hutchins followed by Playing with monsters series and Legacy of the nine realms series which is also written by her. Then Born in Blood chronicles as well as The Camorra Chronicles by Cora Reilly!!
“This man” is a game changer, the emotions and feelings were so strong while reading this series, it felt so real like I was part of the action. It’s a bit sad, because no other book brings me same joy as this one.
@Cariss_shaw I don't think it was abusive at all! When a started reading romance books this was one of the first ones I came across and I fell in love with it. There are far more abusive book boyfrineds but I guess it comes to personal preference.
These are all great series! I need to check out Balance. I hear different things and I want to see what I think. I am reading the Four Bears Construction series. They are M/M romances with different tropes. Loving them so far, very sweet and steamy.
I live for your recommendations!!! I love how you briefly explain the book and the excitement in your voice makes me wanna grab all the books and purchase unlimitedly!! T T
My top 5 series: 1.The white monarchy series by Jessica Hawkins 2.The fever series by Karen Marie Moning 3. Sinners of saint by L.J Shen 4.Bringing down the duke series by Evie Dunmore 5.The made series by Danielle Lori
Top 5 series : Driven series by K. Bromberg Ruthless People by J. J Mcavoy Elite king club by Amo Jones Born in Blood plus Camorra Chronicles by Cora Reilly Eagle Elite by Rachel Van Dyken
I would like to recommend you about harem reverse, polyamorous . These books are hot. The HAVOC by C.M Stunich Groupie by C.M Stunich The sainthood by Siobhan Davis
Can some one help me? I read a book series over a year ago and it was about a girl who moved to England after a traumatic event happened in her house. Then she moved back home in America where she went to school with 3 boys she's known since childhood. They all like on this hill and are super rich, lots of twists and turns and the traumatic event ending up involving her uncle, her mum ends up dying, she meets her real dad, so many things happen. I cant remember the name for the life of me and ive been trying to for so long now. Does anyone know what book series I'm talking about?
Mary I appreciate all your videos and the efforts you put to guide us to chose the best books to read, I however keep waiting for your new uploads to find what are your new recommendations. Read more give us more new recommendations in the end you are moretomary .
I just finished Silver Swan and it is not it. But I will push through the books to find out why you love it. Top five series The Study Series by Maria V Snyder Fever Series by Karen Marie Moning A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sara J Maas The Night Huntress By Jeaniene Frost The Immortals After Dark by Kresley Cole (the spiciest of the bunch)
I wish you read more by A. Zavarelli and Anna Zaires. I'm sure you haven't read the Twist Me Trilogy or Stealing Cinderella. You gonna love them trust me.
On kindle and for free, I found a gem. It's called BRIE'S SUBMISSION, and OMG ... love how it's written and the way they immerse us in a school where train submissives and dominants, it's crazy and sexy. Super recommended ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'll be honest, I kinda wasn't interested in the Off Balance series because if the recent revelations of what happened to some of the girls on the US Olympic gymnastics team. HOWEVER...I was in a major book slump so I decided to read that free sample to just see and I am obsessed. I read the first book in one day and I am so pissed at Kova right now🤬 but God, I love him. Ria has gone through so much so far, can only imagine what's About to come. About to dive into book 2.
Hey everyone!!! There was a novel in which the female lead have a scar on her face and male lead saved her from the vilian I don't remember the name and all help me fine this novel please!!!!!
I've read allot of books you recommend and loved them thank you have you ever read a man without a soul by Victoria Quinn you would love the series trust me give it a go you won't regret it
😍 how unapologetic you are about the things you love. And, yes, thank you for saying Out Loud that Fiction is Not Real, and while someone may like to read certain things in Fiction it doesn't mean they would want that in Reality. Has everyone forgotten what the definition of Fiction is?!? While I haven't read the Off Balance series and don't plan to (sports romances are just not my jam-nothing to do with the taboo aspects); I am also Not the book police and would Never tell someone not to read something. Truly dislike Censorship of Any kind. I love the Morelli Family series by Sam Mariano as well as the Five Points series by Serena Akeroyd, Anna Zaires K series and Ruby Dixon's Ice Planet and Ice Home series. Cora Lee June's Sunshine and the Bullets is probably the best RH series I've ever read.
If your ok with gay romance, then you should read "just bit gay" by alessanra hazard.omg! this series is great❤ i freaking love this serie.prince master is one of my favorite novel ever!i don't know how many time i have read it!!😍😍❤❤
I read the first two books of the elite king's club and bro I am so confused... I still don't know what's going on with Maddison's past, her dad, Bishop and the rest of the guys... and this cult that they're in? I don't get it
I read bound by honour and personally I hated it . I didn’t get the hype at all . The characters don’t have any substance and there was no romance at all . We don’t really know why exactly they fall in love which was so unsatisfying. I think I’m gonna give the second book a go because everyone days the series gets better as it goes on .

I feel like the word "problematic" gets thrown around so often and authors get so much hate for writing about some of the more taboo subjects/relationships.

I'm so indecisive, I wonder how hard sorting out a top five must be for you..
Ollie is such a unique character I automatically fell in love with him.
Been searching for that feeling I had while reading off balance so hard because that series was sooo good!!
I love dark steamy books.
Please recommend more like these.
1. Crossfire series - Sylvia Day
2. Ravenhood series - Kate Stewart
3.Masters and Mercenaries Series - Lexi Blake
4. This Man Series - Jodi Ellen Malpas
5. Up in the Air Series - R.K. Lilley
I think they are making This Man into a movie 🎥 😊
This Man and Crossfire series are some of my favs! If you want similar I also loved Fixed On You series by Laurelin Page, Beauty From Pain by Georgia Cates, and Annihilate Me series by Christina Ross. Also One Night Series by JEM if you haven’t already read is great.

I had a book hangover that lasted weeks 😫i couldn’t stop dwelling on it.
Stay with Me was mind blowing I’m on the third book and it was just speechless
Right now I'm reading Silver Swan because of you haha and I'm loving it!!
I just started the audiobook for Voyeur and I’m really enjoying it! I’m excited to read the rest of the series. And I really have to pick up Nicole Fiorina!
I haven’t finished the last two books of balance because I know my heart won’t feel the same about any book after that. And I simply, just, cannot 😂
You have to read them!!
I just finished the white monarch series and the ending was so weird/sad. I just can't!!!!!
Since you love Cora Reilly another author n series I would highly recommend would be Machiavellian (Gangsters of New York Book 1)
Bella Di Corte. It’s the closest I’ve gotten to Cora level writing🙌🏾
You should definitely read her Fausti Saga series, it tops the Gangsters of New York and even Cora Reilly's books.
