Iβm serious about my wishlist. Even in non-romance genres, regardless of context, the lying and pretending stress me out. I may be learning more about what I do like, but I already know what I donβt like.
Maybe this type of romance novel doesnβt exist. What do I know?
*Audiobooks only (no AI narration)
*No straights (queer love only)
*No insta-love (insta-lust maybe)
*No miscommunication trope (fine if they need to work through their own issues, but they need to be honest with one another)
*Minimal will-they/wonβt-they
*No possessive alpha types (of any gender)
*No YA
*No dubcon (seriously, just no)
Iβve always said I donβt read romance. But the Skip storyline in Heated Rivalry has me curious. Iβm looking for recommendations. But Iβm going to be VERY specific about what I do/donβt want.
Please donβt recommend anything without reading below. Self-recs are fine if they meet all the below.
Book 33 (and my final for the month) was A Frightfully Fatal Affair by Hannah Hendy (narrated by Jenny Funnell).
Thereβs another murder in Dewstow. Margery and her wife, Clementine, otherwise known as the Dinner Lady Detectives, are on the case.

Book 27 was Surviving Sentience 2040 by Sharon A. McDonell.
Comma is a sentient AI β¦ the first one, in fact. But someone out there REALLY doesnβt want her to exist.

Book 15 was Patient Zero and the Making of the AIDS Epidemic by Richard A. McKay (narrated by Paul Woodson).
A must read for anyone interested in the history of the AIDS crisis.

Book 14 was The Library of the Unwritten by A.J. Hackwith (narrated by Lisa Flanagan).
