"You should really, keep your mouth shut and mind your business." I love you for saying that, I laughed so hard. Cuz I always felt weird for having these fantasies.

Loved this! Thank you for being so open minded when it comes to dark romance. Your channel feels like a safe space 🧡

These are my favorite recs on your channel. Thanks for being strong enough to give these recommendations for those of us who know it’s fictional and fun to read. I would love to see a stalker rec if you have some.

Oooo, about to deep dive into these. Like I’m a healthy person with good boundaries and I love and respect myself as much as other. But sometimes I need to experience some of this in a safe way. I like thunderstorms, not everyday has to be sunshine. 🤍thank you!!

Carter Mahoney❤️ and Zoe have my heart❤️..I love how you handled this video ..i feel like this could be such a wonderful conversation once there's understanding what these mean..I will definitely read the Asking for it duet..

Rina Kent’s new book God Of Malice fits this trope.

"Get in those furs, girl" 😂🤣 You're fantastic! CNC is my favorite kink and I wish there were more well written books with it like the Asking For It duet was. That and Bait by Jade West are probably the best I've read and I've read a lot 😁

I wish I posted this disclaimer on my last video… it’s important that people know their triggers and limits with dark romance. Thank you for providing this!

I absolutely love this reading recs list! And I 100% agree with you about the respecting the kinks thing. No one should judge ❤

This trope is my jam. And I love that you still find some that I've never heard of before. 😍🥰

I read manacled because of you and it was amazing. Your recs are so good.

Dark Duet by CJ Roberts I remember being good but it's been years since I read them. The first is called Captive in the Dark then there's Seduced in the Dark - I believe that's the name of the 2nd book! I think she even made an Epilogue book, too

Yes, Sam Mariano knows how to write a villain as a "hero" you can't help but love...(cough, cough...Mateo Morelli...cough😉) Adding Stealing Cinderella to my TBR. I like her mafia stuff, and this may be a Cinderella story I can enjoy. 😆 I've been enjoying the Horde series by Zoey Draven 🔥. Yes, if you make an agreement you Should have to honor it. That thing bothers me too. Adding the Claire Kent series too. I've never heard of it before, but it sounds interesting. 🤔 There you go again, not helping my ever growing TBR. 🤣 A Hunger Like No Other is still a favorite of mine despite the misleading cover. Greivous Loss by Adelaide Forrest is 🔥 🔥 and my favorite from the series. Side Note: It's such a shame that in today's world you have to explain that Fiction is Fictional and just because you read dark romance doesn't mean you want it in your real life or maybe you do 😉 as long as it's consensual. Funny, you don't have to hear these kinds of disclaimers with mysteries. Like just because I read a book 📖 with Murders in it doesn't mean I'm going to get all stabby 🔪 after reading it 🤣...or maybe 🤫

I reccomend checking out God Of Malice by Rina Kent. It's her newest release and even if her other books haven't worked for you,you should check it out.The main character kinda gives off Untouchable vibes

I read the Asking for It duet per your recommendation and loved it. I completely agree with you that this is a great way to read this trope ans try to understand the reasoning behind it.

Thank you! I always appreciate you for being such an open minded person, and you literally cater to every interest💞

Thanks for your recs! I'm not really a fan of NC, but I'm really happy when there are recs like yours that include even controversial topics. Furthermore, as a proud supporter of all kinks, I really appreciate CNC! I think I'll try to read Hold, as you said, sex as a survival method is absolutely real and it's fascinating! 😍

the losers series is my fav of this trope!! should read!!

Oh my, I can already tell that this video is going to destroy my TBR list.

Considering how much I loved The Bully and A Hunger Like No Other, I need to read the other books on this list.

Descent is crazy AF but it was an interesting journey. I won’t read it again, because I don’t think I’d like it a second time again.

You have done such a great job with this video! Thank you, love cnc, dc, and I literally just added Descent, by Sam Mariano to my TBR earlier today ❤ I think the first cnc I fell in love with was Desperate Measures. Mafia Mistress also was great and had some of that!

This video was recommended to me on KZfaq, and I just have to say: thank you so much for it and for how you talked about the whole topic. I often find the book community shames people for liking this stuff, without understanding it and why they like it - it’s a lack of understanding and often a lack of empathy too. But also, a lot of people in the book community lack introspection on what these tropes they like are, if that makes sense? Anyway, sorry to ramble! Just wanted to say I love the video and thank you for talking about it in a sensitive and sensible manner. I’ll definitely read Asking for It!

Thanks for these! I’m dying while i wait for The Bully to come out on audio 😅😭. Debt by Nina G Jones and Cruel Idols by Sorcha Black are a couple of my favorite cnc books.

The Ritual by Shantel Tessier is a great one for this recc. DubCon and a good consent non consent scene

A great dark rec, NonCon that develops into CNC is This Love Hurts by Nikita, by far the darkest thing I’ve read and a rollercoaster but I enjoyed every second of the torture. I had to skim read a chapter or two because it is that dark lol

Awwww. HOLD has me swooning for Cain. I’m more into Noncon, like full on.. twisted, dark, violent. Take by force by the evil MC. But when I started reading the ending where Cain was feeling guilty like he took something from her at the beginning of the book? I just died inside. He’s such a strong MC AND he’s not just some monster… He had a conscience wondering if he forced or took what wasn’t his. I love how much they grew to care for each other and how he protected her. 😩🥺❤️😭 Love all your recommends .

Damn, now I am so curious what the trauma was for the boy in asking for it. You describe books really well🌺🍧🌷

Adding Stealing Cinderella and bloodied hands to my tbr, thanks Jenn ☺️

This is my "thing"... or one of them,lol! Great video with many of my top choices and a few new and exciting! Thank u!

Hi Jen thanks for providing other dark romance authors to explore enjoyed this vlog. Thank you😇😈

People need to remember reading is an escape, it's just fun.

I’m on a Draco Malfoy rampage, and when you said ‘The Bully - Malfoy’ I was like “Imma get it!” I feel like Manacled would fit perfectly in this video :P

I read the first Bellande crime syndicate novel a couple months ago and I absolutely loved it! I have to read the other books!

Thanks so much for the breakdown love cnc!

My TBR is FULL now - thanks!

Great video Jen. I have to add Clarie Kent series to my tbr. Thanks for the recommendation. Would you be willing to do a recommendation on books with breeding kinks in them. I know you name a few in this video. I would like to read more of those.

I want you to do a recommendation video on books available on kindle for the same genre, I’ve read some and those are - RINA KENT ALL BOOKS ARE THERE EXCEPT TEAM ZERO SERIES AND RHODE’s series

Can you make a recommendation video for breeding kinks? 🥺👉👈

I’m literally looking all over for the Lilah pace duet. You can find book 2 easily for a decent price but the first book is so hard to find.

Captive of hoard king... Love how you recommend nd criticized at the same time 😂😂

Hey, this is one of my favorite troops so I've read a ton of books. I really liked your suggestions, I've read almost all of them so if you want to discuss more titles or exchange recommendations with me, please reach out!

dean and cat are my favorites

Ok but why have I read all of these books except for Truly 😅 I’m so happy to find someone on book tube who likes these tropes because I need more recs but no one talks about these types of books on book tube. There’s a new wave of people that like dark romance on booktok but there’s so many different tropes and levels to dark romance. Lots of people draw the line at non con/dubious consent/ cnc/forced breeding etc.

Ooh I have the whole sophie lark series.

Thank you so much!!! ❤

In theory i like dark romance, but while reading I always have issues with the themes. Like right now I'm reading a book were the hero (mm romance) is kidnapped by a serial killer that assaults him, yet his body is getting pleasure from the encounter, and I'm thinking to myself; how dare he get pleasure from the villain, and how dare his body react... I haven't yet refined what i like and what I'm comfortable with, but dark themes keep me engaged with a book, lately i dnf most cutesy fluffy books i attempt to read.

Stealing Cinderella was ok to me. I agree it was spicy.

God of malice , rina Kent . Highly recommend.

I veiw the reader as giving the consent,mainly because of how I read books,so NC and (c)DC are faves of mine. I do wish there were more somnophilia books out there though. I read an erotic romance where the heroine gave her consent on camera,in writing etc and then had her memory wiped of it. So much fun. My poor tbr list is dead already so what's few more.

I'm new to your channel, love your video BTW. Have you ever read the Skals series by Adriana Noir.The first book is called sinister kisses, I just read it and OMG. Must read

Hold is good, read it years ago.

Hi Jen, do you know if Jade West write any books for those of us girls who don’t get turned on by painful sex???? I love her writing but, me and my vaginismus can’t take it. Or if you know of any other dark romance books/authors?? If you’ve already done a video and I somehow haven’t watched it, please let me know so i can run to go watch it. Have a lovely day or night wherever you read this. ❤❤

I read DESCENT ❤

i feel like in the book called Little Dove there could be parts that are considered Dubious Consent (pls correct me if im mistaken, if youve read the book, i have read it but i could be inccorect)

I love your channel, I think you are awesome 👏. Great books recommendations too. Keep up the great job.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍

How can I order wrong by Adelaide Forrest?

Hey Jen where does Truly by Carmel Rhodes fall under cnc, non con or dub con?

Who's the author of "Wrong"? I'm having trouble with the link. Thank you so much-

I've always disliked the cover of a hunger like no other lol doesn't even seem like that's what he'd look like.

💘💘💘💘💘💘💘

Loved this and looking to read a few from your recommendations 🫶
