Valeria✨ (_valeria_m) | 73 comments Wowww ok I think I'm yet to read one quite like that, 'Voracious' was incredibly heartbreaking but I don't know if it's quite it, but I hope you find that 😆🖤

I loved Julian and Nora's story, and Peter and Sara is my favorite of these three couples. I am always looking for more books like these.

Karen Denise Foster | 156 comments I just read Reminders of Him by Coleen Hoover. Now I usually like darker romances, and started with Verity by her because it got such great reviews...and yes I would highly recommend it. So I read this one right after Verity. And let me say, it's not terribly dark, but tears the whole way through. OMG it broke my heart. I would like to find more like Reminders of Him as well. Sometimes I need the lighter side of "crying my eyes out" too. So any suggestions would be appreciated.

Valeria✨ (_valeria_m) | 73 comments Karen Denise Foster I love love loveeee Julian and Nora, they were my very first dark romance, I am yet to read the Tormentor mine series, so I don't know how I feel about Peter and Sara yet, but I do believe Julian and Nora will forever be my favourite 🥰

Jacki | 49 comments So these books aren’t technically Dark Romance, the romance is beautiful! But not dark.. however the story and things that happen to some of the characters, has some dark and very intense things happening. Made me cry for the first time in a while. And the first one is no spice, the second one does because they’re older (it’s like a coming of age n/a type story.) anyway, Binding 13 and Keeping 13. Again, not at all dark romance. But the story itself has some very sad things happening but they was also like, very good books that I really wasn’t expecting to like that much! I read them with the intention of them being kinda like a “pallet cleanser” for all the dark romance I’ve been reading in such a short time, I just needed a little break/ was looking for something cuter. And these were cute! But again, also heartbreaking! I felt all the feelings either these! Lol! So yeah idk.. maybe check those out! And the mmc is a very over protective, who did this to you/touch her and die type dude.

Jacki | 49 comments Oh and the Edge of Darkness trilogy by Leigh Rivers! Very good books! Very dark! And did make me cry actually, the first one anyway. Try those too if you haven’t read them yet!

Oh you HAVE to read Tormentor Mine series. Peter and Sara are my number one MMC and FMC. I read these four books at least once a year. The first few chapters had me...ummm. And the Twist Me series was my first venture into this genre seven years ago. Capture Me (Lucas and Yulia) is good, but it's definitely number three of the series in my list.

I have this on my TBR now. A lot of my friends have left really good reviews about this series.
