good romance with characters above 25 please?? x

[Charli]

i want something spicey and a good story but nothing with characters in college please :)

[caleigh]

lucy score’s books have older characters + spice, i think most of elsie silver’s do too!

[mim]

all Rhodes lead here by Mariana Zapata is a good one, I also just finished the chestnut spring series which is AMAZING! and the Devils by Elizabeth O'Roark has to be one of my faves

[Megan (sporadic hiatus due to law school)]

yesss anything by Lucy Score is my go-to

Tessa Bailey tends to have characters out of college and her spice level is up there haha specifically, I'd recommend It Happened One Summer and Hook, Line, and Sinker, and also The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas

I don't know the ages of any of these characters, but I do know they're all out of college.

I second these. Follow by Tessa Bailey is also a great book (even better as an audiobook because it's like 99 percent dirty talk).

the cheat sheet has older characters!! there’s no spice though

yess thanks girls!! i did end up starting the chestnut series which i’m really liking. I’ll have a look at lucy score too, i feel i DNF one of her books recently so i’ll see what others she has for sure :)

Taylor Jenkins Reid has non-college romances !!! daisy jones and the six is one of my faves!!

Are they? Tbh I can't remember lol but the blurbs mention Jules is trying to pass her bar (book 3) which means if she is in college, it'll be law school which means she is most likely 24/25, and she and the first girl were roomies in college.

So idk if that counts as a college book? But personally I wouldn't count it bc Josh isn't in college (isn't he a doctor?) though I guess Jules does spend time studying for the bar, but that isn't a college thing.

I remember squat about the other books though

@megan @amy, oh! i made a mistake. so sorry. i'll remove it now

my bad, I meant that to me, it seemed fine to leave them in there lol because while they may be college age (possibly) none of them attended college during the books, from what I can remember haha
