Romance books where the FL is not fragile and our ML isnt some big buff scary dude who's always growly? I want a book with an FL who takes charge.

I'm currently haaaating books with a big murdery man and an "uwu I'm so scared but turned on by you" woman. PLEASE HELP A GIRL OUT

Honestly a lot of contemporary romance will fit this description, just stay away from sports/military/western romance and dark romance lol. Check out Emily Henry, Hannah Bonham-Young, Julie Olivia, BK Borison, Christina Lauren, and Abby Jimenez for some sensitive MMC's! Happy to give more specific book recs if there are any tropes or anything you are looking for!

The American roommate experiment if your looking for sunshine men + the book is just genuinely so good I love it it’s one of my FAVS

[Lisbeth]

The Wicked Wonderland Duet Series by Lee Jacquot. She is the mob boss and he is her bodyguard. It is a dark mafia romance Alice in Wonderland inspired (not a retelling)

If you like the biblical story of Joseph, then you may be interested in the book , "Victory," from the Kemet Island Series. The idea of the story came from the biblical Joseph story, but it branched out into a full change of time and characters. The time setting is during the era of pirates roaming the seas, etc... but is involves a romance from the woman who helps the Christian man. Anyway, yours truly is the author of this book :). If interested, I sure could use reviews on it since it's been recently published. Free on kindle unlimited till February 2024. :)

kiss the sky BUT it is part of the addicted series, you can read it without the other books but it won’t make as much sense 😭

The Long Game. the main girl is very badass and a strong personality, the guy is still a little growly but less so

would recommend the mindfck series but check trigger warnings before you dive into it :)
