<p>Romance is one of the most popular genres. Some of the most beloved authors in this category are Emily Henry, Jenny Han, and Nicholas Sparks. Love stories are generally feel-good books. Audiences want to feel light after reading, and the happily ever after in novels like<em> Beach Read </em>and <em>Book Lovers</em> do this well. There are other subsets, however. Specifically, the taboo world of dark romance.</p>

<p>Dark romance is a subgenre with disturbing themes, including BDSM, stalking, violence, and morally grey characters. It’s not for readers under 18.</p>

<p>Christian fiction revolves around faith, and each novel strives to encourage the readers&#8217; connection with God. While earlier Christain novels delved more into the history and specifics of the religion, recent books merely center around a devoted character and the struggles they face. </p>



<p>Christian romance novels combine love and faith. The courtship, relationship, and any struggle the couple face revolves around their conviction in God. These novels don’t actively exclude mentions of sex and violence, but they are only added when it&#8217;s necessary. </p>



<p>Christian authors use their writing to promote values and lessons for the religious-minded. If this sounds like you, here are our recommendations!</p>

<p>Imagine being pestered by your parents to get married to “that boy who has this and that&#8221; when you’re not interested. Or imagine you’re being denied your inheritance until you settle down. What do you do in that scenario? If you go by romance book protagonists, you set up a fake marriage of convenience. </p>



<p>These books usually involve a protagonist who, for some reason or another, must get married. They may ask a stranger, a colleague, or an enemy to play their spouse. Hijinks ensue, and romance blossoms as they scramble to sell the act.</p>



<p>Well, nothing is as simple as that in a romance book. There&#8217;s drama, blow-out arguments, and life-changing misunderstandings. Here are some great fake marriage reads to help you see if it&#8217;s worth it. Just kidding!</p>

<p>Leather jackets, combat shoes, slicked-back hair, bikes, and tattoos. That’s the typical description of a bad-boy alpha hero in Motorcycle Club (MC) romance books. These clubs have bad boys tightly knit from the trauma and demons of their past and would do anything for the people they care about.</p>



<p>These books show strength, power, resilience, and unwavering loyalty. While some books might showcase a heroine from the same hardcore MC background, the women are usually a far cry from that. They’re innocent, unaware of the clubs, and oblivious to the fatal threats. No matter what, they gain strength under the protection of their bad-boy hero.</p>



<p>MC romance books usually come in series, each for a respective member of the club. It keeps the story streamlined and connected and doesn&#8217;t leave anyone out. Let’s take a look at some alpha bad boys from clubs that will throttle you up.</p>

<p>E.L. James&#8217; <em>Fifty Shades of Grey</em> was a turning point for erotic romance. It propelled the genre to worldwide recognition. The trilogy was published in the early 2010s, but despite its incredible success, the books have garnered harsh criticism for their description of the BDSM lifestyle community. Fun fact, the series began as <em>Twilight</em> fanfiction! </p>



<p>The rights for the adaptations were sold at $5 million, earning over $1.32 billion worldwide at the box office. Jamie Dornan played Christian Grey, and Dakota Johnson portrayed Anastasia Steele. While the ratings aren’t very spectacular, they have a dedicated fanbase to this day.  </p>

<p>Interesting title, huh? <em>NSFW</em> is an amazing office romance with plenty of drama and fun. Not only do the characters show great progression personally, but the professional settings are pretty hot too. Charlie is Avery’s confidant with a knack for pranks. And Avery is tired of her.</p>



<p>When Charlie&#8217;s stunts get crazier and Avery’s coolness grows warmer, we get amazing chemistry and delicious romance. Avery isn’t your typical older billionaire CEO. He’s just a boss, and that makes the story so refreshing. A great read indeed!</p>

<p>Erotic literature existed long before the invention of the printing press. These novels are a sexy escape from mundane reality. No wonder they&#8217;re so popular! The passion is thrilling. However, these stories have faced immense criticism. Most of it is the graphic descriptions of sex.</p>



<p><em>The Decameron </em>(1353) by Giovanni Boccaccio is one of the oldest surviving forms of erotica. It has been banned for its unconventional descriptions of sex, and even five centuries after its release, the book was hunted down and destroyed in the UK and the US. </p>

<p>A heartfelt and touching novel in our list, <em>Lost Dogs and Lonely Hearts</em> by Lucy Dillon introduces what it’s like being heartbroken. How while we’re rescuing something else, it can help us rescue ourselves.</p>



<p>After a bad year, Rachel inherits her late aunt’s house, her beloved dog, and a kennel full of rescues. To say that she has zero knowledge of the animals would be an understatement. But she is up for the task. And as she starts finding homes for these dogs, she feels at peace.</p>



<p>The story is about how everything can seem wrong but can be so right if just looked at from a different perspective. A sweet read with love, friendship, and of course, dogs. Lots and lots of them.</p>
