say no more - so I won't add any fantasy books here atm). I'll add here some of the books I really liked (I also love fantasy, but recently I haven't found anything good - ACOTAR is my favorite, because Rhys.

Please do not suggest fade to black books. Also, I don't mind the spoilers - I'd rather be glad for them so that I know what to expect and would I be interested. The more popular ones I've probably already read or didn't think they would interest me. So I would be very-very grateful if you could suggest me some books. I like when MCs are suprised of the attraction and confused what the hell is happening because they've been previously straight or smth like that. Only recently I discovered that there are some really good MM romances out there with rather villain-like/serious/bad-ass/masculine men. Too fast burn (I often DNF 'cause the couple gets together too fast and there isn't any interesting tension left). I want them to be reluctant of their attraction (!), to try to fight it, to have those explosive moments where they are arguing and the tension builds up and they start kissing and afterwards still have that reluctance and confusion over wtf just happened or too light in the way that the MMC isn't bad-ass enough - I'm really sucker for the 'college king' theme) or not BDSM or dub-con stuff, but just not the la la la feeling with a lot of humor and zero sexual buildup and tension (however, there can be humor in the friend group). Too light (but I like more darker setting. There are many similar posts but somehow I've scrolled and scrolled and just don't have many books to read.
