What a great month September was 😍 Had to fight a big slump but found my way over the other side. Finally read my first Tal Bauer books and fell in love with each beautiful story. Became obsessed with Fallen Rook (cant see that obsession ending any time soon 🤭) and read some amazing arcs and series. Overall a great month of reading 🩷 What was your 5 star read in September? 🥰 #mmbooks #mmromance #septemberwrapup #readingwrapup #mmtiktok

The Reckless Damned series by @Lark Taylor Author   I was in a very big reading slump. No idea what I wanted to read, my mood was all over the place so couldn't pinpoint was I was craving for.  Going through my extremely out of control tbr, I came across Devil's Mark and thought I'd give it a try. Well let me tell you...slump over! This series is so good! It has everything I love. Fated mates, magic, demons, spice, possessive mc's and found family/close brothers. Perfection! Each book follows a different couple while an overarching supernatural storyline unfolds, so you get new romances and plenty of reasons to become emotionally attached to every single character.  What to expect: Demons & princes of Hell Fated mates Possessive & protective MCs Hurt/comfort & trauma healing Forced proximity Banter & tension Mages & magic Found family High heat Supernatural mayhem HEAs If you haven't read this series then it's time to change that. If you have read this series I'd love to know who your favourite couple is 🖤🔥🖤🔥 #mmbookrecs #darkmmromance #mmbooks #mmreads #mmromance

On Your Knees by @Rina Saint  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌶🌶🌶.5 No one does dark romance quite like Rina. Her stories aren’t just dark for the sake of being dark. They’re emotionally complex and always backed by a gripping plot, layered characters and that perfect balance of spice, sweetness and pain.  When Ethan spots Levi working at a charity dinner, he’s instantly intrigued. There’s an innocence about Levi that draws him in, but Ethan also sees a darkness to him too. He asks Levi to pose for his drawings, but Ethan wants far more than just to capture him on paper.  Both Ethan and Levi have heartbreaking pasts that have shaped them in completely different ways. Ethan has become a product of his trauma. His past still haunts him, leaving him cold, angry and dangerous. He’s learned to survive through control, rage and self-punishment. Levi, on the other hand, is innocent and lost, struggling to understand who he really is. He’s spent so long feeling numb and afraid that he barely knows what lies beneath his surface.  From the moment they meet, there’s an undeniable pull between them, and slowly they become exactly what the other needs. Ethan needs control, and Levi willingly submits to him, giving Ethan the dynamic he needs while trusting him completely. But Ethan also helps Levi break through the fear and numbness, awakening the part of him he’s kept buried to helps him discover who he truly is.  Their relationship is messy, toxic and deeply flawed. There’s darkness, pain and moments that hurt to read, but beneath all of it is something incredibly powerful. Love, hope and the possibility of becoming something more than the trauma that shaped them. They don’t save each other by erasing the darkness. They learn how to stand beside each other in it.  That’s what makes Rina’s books so addictive. Even when everything feels broken, there is always a thread of light. A little bit of hope. A love strong enough to pull each other forward when they don’t know how to find their own way.  If you enjoy dark romance, morally grey characters, damaged souls, obsession, intense chemistry, trauma, spice and love found in the darkest places then On Your Knees is a must read. #mmreads #mmbooks #darkmmromance #mmbookrecs

Pages of my Heart by @Rae Roberts  Some books entertain you. Some make you fall hopelessly in love with the characters. And then there are books like Pages of My Heart that somehow find their way beneath your skin, settle into your heart, and refuse to leave. This was one of those books for me and it made me a blubbering mess by the end. How is this book not getting more love like it deserves? Thomas (Red) and Charlie meet at an illegal queer club in 1937, at a time when simply being who you are could put you in danger. Their connection is immediate, their attraction undeniable, and as their feelings begin to deepen, they find themselves falling into something neither of them can easily walk away from. But loving each other comes with a terrifying price. They have to find stolen moments and secret places to be together, because something as simple as touching, longing gazes, or showing even the smallest hint of affection could expose them. Their love has to exist in the shadows, hidden from a world that tells them what they feel is wrong. Charlie absolutely broke my heart. On the surface, he's everything the world expects him to be, tough, masculine, one of the guys. But beneath that carefully constructed exterior is a much softer, more vulnerable man who longs to be able to let his guard down and surrender to someone he trusts. He's spent his entire life hiding pieces of himself, terrified of what would happen if anyone discovered the truth. Especially his abusive father, whose hatred and violence make Charlie's home anything but safe. Thomas, on the other hand, sees the world through younger, more hopeful eyes. He's curious about his desires and feelings, and there's something incredibly endearing about the way he discovers this new part of himself. But don't mistake his innocence for weakness. Thomas is loyal, brave and possesses a quiet inner strength. Their relationship is so incredibly tender. There is sweetness in the way they discover each other, but there's also vulnerability, fear and messiness. Because how do you build a life with someone when your love has to remain hidden? How do you express affection when even reaching for their hand could put you at risk? Watching these two men be torn apart by war absolutely shattered me. Their letters to one another during their separation were some of the most heartbreaking yet beautiful parts of the story. You could feel the longing between every word, the desperate need to remain connected when distance and circumstances were doing everything possible to pull them apart. When Charlie returns from the war wounded and struggling with PTSD, Thomas becomes his rock. Their love isn't magically easy. It's patient, complicated and full of the kind of devotion that means staying when things are difficult and choosing someone even when they aren't okay. Rae has created something truly special here. This isn't simply a love story. It's a story about finding the courage to be yourself, about loving someone in a world that tells you not to, and about two people who continue choosing each other when everything around them is trying to tear them apart. Their love survives secrecy, separation, war, wounds, trauma, fear and the cruel voices telling them that what they share is wrong and that's what made this story so incredibly beautiful. Sometimes the greatest love stories aren't the easy ones. They're the ones where two people keep reaching for each other, keep finding their way back to one another, and keep choosing love even when the world tells them they shouldn't. Charlie and Thomas deserved every beautiful moment of their very hard earned HEA. Pages of My Heart is emotional, heartbreaking, tender and utterly unforgettable. This is a story that has lodged itself firmly in my heart, and I know I'll be thinking about Charlie and Thomas for a very, very long time. Rated ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Spice 🌶🌶.5 #mmromance #BookTok #mmreads #mmbooks #readersoftiktok

Vicious Butterfly by @S. Legend  This book completely pulled me in and had me hooked from the very beginning. There’s something about the combination of darkness, danger and complicated characters that made this such an addictive read.  Tate and Ryan are two seriously broken men with an explosive, obsessive connection. Tate’s possessiveness and obsession with Ryan were everything, while Ryan’s strength and determination to protect his brother made me want to protect him, especially because many of his scenes had me wanting to scream in frustration. The way his father controls his life and the way he treats Ryan made me so angry!  Tate and Ryan's chemistry is undeniable, and watching their relationship develop through all the tension, secrets and emotional turmoil had me turning the pages to see what would happen next.  This is messy, toxic, violent and deliciously dark, with plenty of angst, secrets and red flags. These two are absolutely not healthy, but somehow their f*cked-up devotion works perfectly for them.  If you enjoy dark romance with complicated characters, intense chemistry, possessiveness and plenty of emotional chaos, Vicious Butterfly is definitely one to add to your tbr.  What to expect: Hockey player x Rival coach Borderline psychopath x Broken boy  Military Academy Fake Marriage/Real Claim  Morally Grey MC's Possessive MC  Obsessive MC  Touch him and d!e Age gap Hurt/comfort  Only he can touch me Found family  Rated ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Spice 🌶🌶🌶  *make sure to check the TW's* #readersoftiktok #mmreads #BookTok #darkmmromance #mmromance

When the dark romance is so dark it's practically pitch black.  The darker the better in my opinion but they still have to have a HEA 🔥🔥 Who else enjoys pitch black romances and what is one you would recommend? 🖤🖤 Books: Static by @m☺︎  The Villain's Melody by Lola Malone Yours to Break by E. Baileu  The Mercenary and The Mortician by @Alexandra St Pierre 📚🐈‍⬛  Distorted by @Nyla K💋  #readersoftiktok #BookTok #darkmmromance #mmbookrecs #mmbooks
