Sue Miz  (suereads2030) | 236 comments groveling is when the H does something shitty or betrayal and he has to go all the way and beyond to earn h forgiveness
it's a trope not fully achieved by most unfortunately bec writes want the h and H to be together and do the SSS that they cut in the grovel
a grovel should be as good and proportionate as the betrayal
a "I wrote you a letter/song" or "internal monologue of remorse" or " a simple I'm sorry at the end" is a poor excuse of a grovel
having said that
here are some good recs
Holden by M.E.Clayton
the masked duet (RH) by Reese Rivers (grovel happe s in the second book)
Baron's Second Chance by S.T Gibson (cheating)
Molly (Kristal Vietch)
Smokey by Sam Crescent (brutal betrayal)
Her Ruthless Warrior by RG Angel
Pack Darling duet (Omegaverse RH)

Books usually rec for grovel but contain minimum and shitty ones

The Words by Ashley jade (baaaad grovel compared to what he did)

anything by Kristen Ashley, her men don't know what grovel even mean

Twisted love by Anna Huang (singing?? really????)

Hey thanks! I thought the grovelling trope was an ugly guy who grovelled for 499 pages before the girl marries his hotter, fitter father.
