“do. Not. F*ck. With Me.” ☠️💔

A Thanksgiving reading list for anyone craving heat, heart, and a little chaos.

“I said,” she told him very slowly, very clearly, “do. Not. Fuck. With Me.”

For months they orbit each other: phone calls, confessions, heat, tenderness, but never commitment. Every time she asks for more, he disappears. Every time she tries to leave, he comes back. Perfectly Reckless is romance gold for anyone ready to say: I want you. But I want me, too. You’ll love it.

“the longing, the heartbreak...”

By Lilith Young (🌶️🌶️🌶️ Second Chances, Lesbian)

This isn’t your soft, fade-to-black WLW romance.

Sam’s been out for fifteen years. Jen’s still living a double life. For a year, they’ve been breaking up, making up, and pretending the closet isn’t killing them both.

Until one brutal morning, Sam finally says the words Jen’s been terrified to hear: No more.

Heartbreak, rain, and one last chance collide on a beach where Jen shows up soaking wet — and ready to burn her whole world down for the woman she loves.

“A stunning, gut-punch of a romance”

By New York Times Bestselling Author Megan Hart (🌶️🌶️🌶️ Second Chances)

Maura wasn’t looking for a love triangle — she just wanted to feel alive again.

Then came Ian: all heat, hunger, and emotional whiplash. And Daniel: steady hands, soft heart… and complicated in all the ways that matter.

What follows is messy, grown-up, and painfully honest — a story of wanting two different futures, breaking your own rules, and choosing the love that doesn’t just spark… but scorches.

““oh my god just kiss already” energy with a big-hearted ending”

By Shannyn Schroeder (🌶️🌶️🌶️ Friends to Lovers)

Evelyn and Owen have been best friends forever — shared dinners, shared keys, shared everything except that.

But when one bad night and one worse misunderstanding finally crack the surface, they have to face what everyone else has known for years: this was never “just friends.”

What follows is sweet, funny, a little chaotic, and full of that delicious will-they-finally-stop-being-stubborn energy. It’s about choosing trust, and choosing each other — not because it’s easy, but because it’s always been them. ✨💕

“i am not ok. i may never be ok. what a story!!”

By Lizzette Monroe (🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ Forbidden Love, Hurt/Comfort)

“I messed up.

I let myself get caught up in an affair of the heart.”

She thought she’d cut him off for good.
Then Wes walks into her hotel under a fake name… and straight into the fantasy she never dared act on.

What follows is a razor-sharp, gut-twisting story of emotional cheating, obsession, and the moment you finally admit: I’m going to hurt someone I love, and I don’t know how to stop myself. 💔🔥

“The house-viewing setup is genius

By Kit Marlowe (🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ Gay, Forbidden Love, Second Chances)

He’s not “touring open houses.”
He’s sneaking into empty ones with Marcus — fake IDs, wild sex, and the fantasy version of himself he wishes he could be.

Meanwhile, the boyfriend he’s ghosting?
Still in love.
Still waiting.
Still hoping.

When everything finally blows up, he has to figure out what he wants: the rush, the safety… or the courage to stop running from both. 💔

“stayed up half the night reading this!!!

By Kathryn Murphy (🌶️🌶️🌶️ Small Town, Firefighter)

Megan White should’ve died twenty-five years ago.

Now she appears to have it all—a solid career, a trendy apartment—but she feels like a fraud. A firefighter, Megan has an edge she doesn’t deserve. She doesn’t burn.

Torn between her duty and her dreams, Megan is about to escape to the life she always wanted when a handsome soldier marches into her life.
