(I already tried posting in the romance sub but it kept getting auto deleted so I’m trying here)
I really want to read romance but I’m not a fan of contemporary romance and any open door really. I would love a more mature/adult romance, perhaps where the romance isn’t driving the plot forward but rather a subplot? Prefer m/f, strong/protective mmc, single or dual perspective is fine, closed door or at least not graphic, probably no hate to love or 10+ yr age gap, no on page death (like if it happened pre book and there’s not a ton of focus on grief).
I’ve disliked Emily Henry, Colleen Hoover, Ali Hazelwood, etc. Maybe some older novels?
TIA!
