I’m new to this subreddit, literally had no idea that this was a thing so needless to say, I am fucking ecstatic. I’m looking for what my title states…an unwanted, vulnerable or just lonely, sweet but gruff, MMC who’s never truly been loved and an FMC who is confident, independent and just bursting with love and wants him instantly, so insta-love on her end I guess ? I want him to be quietly/secretly obsessed though and thinking that he doesn’t deserve her when in reality…he does. Nothing super dark please and please no extreme black boy trauma. There’s enough of that in real life, I don’t want to read about it too. I have no black romances to compare it to so hopefully I get some recs to start me on my journey.

Please no cheating, poly, HR.

I like CR, HR, Fantasy, prefer M/F pairing but open to others as long as it has what I’m looking for. Also no crazy age gaps over 10 years. Thank you 🫶🏾

Looking for books that either have some iteration of that specific line or just the general feel of an MMC that will take the FMC anyway he can have her, even if she says she doesn’t want/love him romantically. I don’t necessarily need him to be obsessed in the “foaming at the mouth” kind of way but it a “I know how many freckles you have” or “I just want to be near you” kind of way, adoringly I guess ? A man that knows what and who he wants w/o reservation. I want the FMC to fight it but not because she doesn’t want him but because she’s either unsure or just trying to push him away for ✨reasons✨ A few books that have the specific line that I’ve read are:

{Kiss An Angel by Susan Elizabeth Phillips} - MMC hurt her so when he came crawling back she was basically like “fuck outta here” but on the inside she wanted him, just super hurt about what transpired

{Lover Eternal by JR Ward} MMC is a vampire warrior that bonded to the FMC who is sick and can’t believe that someone like him would want someone plain and sickly so she tries to make it clear that she just wants the “D” and he doesn’t care. He actually says the line AND says he’ll take whatever she wants to give……Rhage is King, iykyk

Books that have the feel:

{Devil’s Bride by Stephanie Laurens} He literally recuses her and decides to keep her until she comes to her senses 🤷🏾‍♀️

{Devil Mine by Khai Hara} he was actually obsessed with her but I loved the MMC so much in this one

Please no cheating, poly, HR, YA, age gaps larger that 10years

I’m open to anything else outside of that though so if you have something along those line please share. I thank you in advance 🙂🫶🏾

All in need in this life of sin…are good mutually obsessed, devoted MCs with stalker vibes 😭 I’m not asking for too much am I ? I know people either love or hate these books but they are like crack to me, I love a stalker-ish, overly obsessed MMC or FMC but I rarely see the ladder so I knew I was going to love this book, {The Wrong Catch by C.R. Jane}, and it did not disappoint. I LOVED the FMC, I was reading just thinking to myself, “this bitch is nuts” but ouuuuuu I just loved her so much, she was adorable (for bookland standards of course) and I need more. I’m looking for more MCs like Ophelia and I guess Matty, in the sense that he absolutely loves it, as well but mainly Ophelia 🙂. It can be the FMC or MMC that’s like that, though I doubt I’ll get any FMCs as I feel like they are few and far between and I’ve read the more popular ones. I want stalker vibes or just super duper “can’t think straight”without him/her, obsessed vibes. For example:

{When a Girl Loves an Earl by Elisa Braden} beautiful FMC and determined, we love to see it

{To Tame a Save Heart by Emma V. Leech} I loved the FMC, she would not rest until she secured her man, I support it. They need a little push sometimes 🤷🏾‍♀️

{Garters by Pamela Morsi} the OG stalker 😭 again, we LOVE to see it

{Dreaming by Jill Barnett} the girl was insane but we love an obsessed girly, am I right ????

{Playing for Keeps Series by J.C. Grant} I loved the MMC, idc. Sometimes a good dicking is all the convincing needed, I guess

{Fairytale Green by Kayla Silvers}…YES..enough said

{Reckless Miles} the MMC kinda annoyed me a bit by how childlike he was but I loved how devoted and obsessed he was with the FMC

{Devil Mine by Khai Hara}…we love it

{Nicki the Driver by Cate C. Wells}….we still love it

{Obsessively Yours by Jamie Applegate} and the ones that followed….we really fucking loved it

I’m blanking but I know I’ve come across a lot more, so if you’ve got any newer ones, please drop them. I’ll update the list as I think of the ones that I’ve read that may be unknown to others.

I love CR, HR (no Alice Coldbreath please), PR, Sci-fi are all welcomed in this house. Thank you 🫶🏾🫶🏾
