    formula 1 romance and it isn't even gay? what's the point then?

    these types of romances should be capped at a maximum of like, 300 pages because over 600 is a CRIMEEE

    So many of these books are all about small, weak women being dominated by big strong men, punctuated by stereotypes about how woman are shallow and only ever do/like things because of hot guys, yet I get called a “pick me” with internalized misogyny for not liking books like this.

    Like I get why we have to see the love interest as attractive because it's a romance book, but I think where it FAILS is that we have to be TOLD that they're attractive. We just have the main characters going on an infodump about the other person's muscles or eyes or whatever. Are we shown how other people react to them? Are we shown about how they carry themselves? And its IMMEDIATE TOO LOL. I hate instant attraction, why don't they ever build it up? Or maybe if someone was instantly attracted why is it so IN YOUR FACE LMAO...I can't explain it, but there's subtle and better ways to communicate that someone is attractive

    this would be a better book if Maya realized that Noah wasn't her type, fell in love with one of the mechanics, and went home with a sweet buff man who picks her up in like a bugatti idk about cars. and maybe Noah & Santiago do an enemies to friendly rivals to lovers thing in the background if you want some flavor

    As an Asexual, the amount of these 'spicy' romance books that are being released these days is SO heartbreaking. I miss the days where romances were actually sweet. The number of them I have read that are all Spicy ;) is ridiculous. But unfortunately, these things sell. Booktok is great in some ways and if you look in the right places, you can get some great recommendations, but you have to filter through all the Spice ;) first.
    I wish it was easier to find some romance with no spice like there used to be 10 years ago...
