I was wondering as some romances are gross such as 21 and 35 or 30 and 20/21

So where does 27 and 21 fall under?

Does anyone have any recommendations for horror romance books with a Black FMC? Like for real, for real horror where the romance is still essential to the story. Not just horror elements (for example, there are a lot of vampire books that aren't horror). It doesn't have to be supernatural.

I prefer it to be spicy with a nonwhite, preferably Black LI. And preferably with the MCs in their 30s+, or late 20s (def not early 20s or younger).

I'm cool with bwwm books too, it's just that those seem a lot easier to find. So if you have any suggestions, i'm open to them (for later).

If you have a good rec without spice or maybe a good thriller you can still suggest it and i can save it for later :)

Finished 'Hear My Heart' by Tay Mo'nae a few weeks ago. It has a few tropes that I thought I wouldn't enjoy but I was surprised. This is like my third Tay Mo'nae book and her writing definitely makes me question what's "right and wrong". Have you read this one, or is it on your tbr?

Hey hey I’m looking for any fall themed or spooky / Halloween themed book recs BWWM and it needs to have a HEA please I can’t do the sad endings that’s life as it is lol

Reading this book now. Anyone else reading or have read this one? So far, it’s pretty good. There are trigger warnings so please take care when reading these sensitive topics.

I’m enjoying Skylar and Gray’s evolving relationship. The author uses “alpha” and other words/phrases I’m not a fan of but the writing is good enough for me to keep pushing forward. The author uses the trope of the mmc who doesn’t date/consider love until meeting the fmc. Oh, and the very popular, very rich mmc. The fmc is also very wealthy though, so it balances out.

I’m about halfway through. Recently I’ve read a few duds, so, in comparison, this is very enjoyable.

I was wondering if you anyone could give me book recommendations of black MC x Monster/Alien couples? Ever since I finished reading Barbarians Prize I’ve been trying to look for more😭

EDIT: Thank you all for the recommendations I’ll go check them out!!

Idc if it's on Wattpad at this point. I feel like I've tapped the well. Tragedy, cozy, no spice, borderline erotica, contemporary, historical, fantasy idc I WELL AND TRULY WILL GIVE ANYTHING A TRY AS LONG AS IT'S BWBW.

Thank you in advance ❤️🙏🏿

For quite some time, I’ve labeled two of my books as Black/Afam Romance, because they feature Black FMCs and they’re written by a Black woman. Now I’m wondering whether Black/Afam Romance is just another way to say Urban Romance (e.g., Quan Millz, Zane).

So which is it? Is Black Romance another term for Urban Romance, or is it a descriptor for the characters/author?

I saw these covers all over TikTok and decided to try them out. I'm lovin them so far. Anyone else read them?

Hey everyone,

Hope yall doing well. This is my first post here. I was just wondering if anyone was going to black romance book festival in Atlanta in May 2026. This will be my first time. I wanted to meet some people and wanted to know everyone experience with buying tickets. I'm a little sad because I didn't get some of the activities because they were all sold out before I could get it but at least I'm see llody awwwww! Love that man.

I said this romance is fine and someone called me a very weird individual as they said "why would someone 4 years from 30 date a 21 year old" and they called it a weird pairing

So overall is it?

The Space Between Us is a slow-burn BWWM romance about a woman rebuilding her life after emotional abuse… and the quiet man who shows her what real safety feels like.

It’s tender, protective, and full of heart — with just enough tension to keep your chest tight 👀

If you love stories with healing arcs, emotional intimacy, and characters that feel real… this one’s for you. 💛

Does anyone have any recommendations for a fluffy bwbm book? Preferably: - high heat - mid to fast burn - the FMC and MMC in their thirties/forties (no age gap). I'm fine with late 20s, but not younger. - preferably the MMC is sweet and protective - no cheating - no love triangle - And an HEA ❤️

While I love dark romance, i prefer that this one not be (though if you have some dark romance recs that fit those criteria, please share with that caveat and i'll check those out when the mood strikes!).

Edit: Wow! So many recs! Thank you all so much!! 🥰

Hi everyone! I’ve been trying to track down a book (possibly part of a series) that I read in the early 2000s — I believe it was published sometime between 1995–2007 by a Black author, possibly from a smaller or independent press.

Here’s what I remember:

• It focused on a Black family with multiple siblings — I think there were 5 siblings total.
• The book involved family secrets, identity drama, and a kind of confessional or therapy moment where things were revealed.
• One of the main characters (maybe the love interest or one of the siblings) might’ve been named Sebastian.
• I also remember a character (or the family line) having hazel or gray eyes, which was a standout detail.
• It was adult fiction, more of a family saga/drama than a romance, though relationships were involved.
• The cover had real photo-style faces — possibly multiple people’s faces featured on it.
• Someone gave me the book and I’ve never forgotten how dramatic and emotional it was.

It is NOT Addicted by Zane or The Coldest Winter Ever — this was a bit more grounded and centered around family identity and secrets.

Does this ring any bells for anyone? I feel like I’d recognize the cover instantly if I saw it. I’ve been searching everywhere — help!

Hey I’m looking for good dom/sub smut boon recs preferably on KU but willing to buy it’s hard to find what I’m looking for and can use all the help I could get thank you all.

I have accidentally fallen into the 'marriage in distress' rabbit hole. Help!

I just finished reading This is Law by Diamond D Johnson (which is🔥 btw ) and before that I was reading When Forty Blooms by Jacinta Howard.

I want more!

Second chance love is one of my fav tropes anyway so marriage in distress right up my alley..😏

So far I've read:- (that I can remember)

Before I Let Go – Kennedy Ryan

Maybe Next Time – Christina C. Jones

Operation Midnight – Sharon C. Cooper

So if anyone has anymore suggestions please throw them my way.

Thanks! 💗
