    If you want an old school grovel, Judith McNaught wrote LOTS of groveling heroes. Until You and Something Wonderful are the ones coming to mind.

      I read more of her books than any other romance authors. Her heroines can be quite funny and are such a fun to read with their antics. Almost all of McNaught's novels fit into the 'groveling' categories. But her heroes' groveling either left me in bad taste (like Whitney, My Love, the hero is a horrible arse whose hobby is to literally misunderstand the heroine, neglect her, abuse her and 'realize' the wrong doing and repeat the same cycle or like Something Wonderful or leave me unsatisfied with how they quickly give up on the heroine through a misunderstanding (Every Breath You Take, Paradise)
      But i do love her writing. She is an excellent writer. I dl enjoy her short stories more.

    Kresley Cole is my FAVORITE author. Her humor is my upmost favorite. It's never to much and it's always enough ♥️♥️

    The Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens is what you're talking about with Ebenezer Scrooge

    Thank You SO SO SO much for recommending "never sweeter"!
    I have just finished it (started it immediately after watching your video) and honestly, this was THE BEST Grovelling&bully romance I have ever read. It made me cried so hard and so much from all the emotions it brought, and it was worth every tear I shed. Seriously thank you so much for recommending it, otherwise, I would've never heard of it...

    I just discovered your channel and am slowly going through your recommendation videos and I swear this is going to kill my bank account. I love how your describe the characters and just you describing Maddek from A Heart of Blood and Ashes is making me laugh that I need to add it to my TBR now.

  • @leoniesliberi
    @leoniesliberi 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I loved that you threw a groveling heroine in there, as well. I love me my men on their knees begging for forgiveness, but I've never really heard anyone talk about groveling female leads before. maybe an idea for another video ;)

    All I wanna say is that I wished Aria from Bound by Honor/Bound by Love was on this list cause girl, she needed to grovel and actually change her behavior.

    Great recommendations. Just got The Day of the Duchess and Prince of Dreams on Kindle. I want to read Filthy Dark too.

    If you like sifi romance, Claimed by the Horde King by Zoey Draven does the grovel really well. I really love Dravens books and this one may be my favorite of her books. This is also a KU book.

  • @roadtoglory228

    Thanks so much for these! I LOVE Filthy Dark so much, well I love all of Serenas books but especially her Mafia ones (I have reread Filthy Hot and The Don a ridiculous amount and listened because the audio for both is 🥵) but this one is so special, my fave second chance romance!

  • @blossom_n_gin
    @blossom_n_gin 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I, too, love an A-Hole hero followed by an EPIC grovel - so good! 😍 The Day of the Duchess is truly an epic grovel, so freakin' good! I absolutely adore her sisters in this series, too. Sesiley & Caleb's story is coming out this August, if I'm not mistaken - Bombshell: A Hell's Bell's Novel. I cannot wait. One of my other favorite grovels is from *"The Princess and The Rogue,"* by Kate Bateman - Book 3 from the Bow Street Series - all three books are fantastic.

    You should read, It Just Had To Be You, by Jaqueline Francis. It is a beautiful grovel and I am obsessed. Love Never Sweeter as well.

  • @TheGoofy1932
    @TheGoofy1932 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Yes, Filthy Dark by Serena Akeroyd is probably the Only time cheating, second chance romance and secret baby worked for me. They're all usually some of my least favorite tropes in romance. 😂 I'm convinced this author is also a witch as it was a 5 star read for me. I have the Mila Vane on my TBR. Very much looking forward to it. Lisa Kleypas is always so on point. Just love her historicals. Now, I've had to add Amelia Wilde to my ever growing TBR. Girl, you're wrecking havoc on my list. 😂

      Yes! Filthy Dark has so many things that i DON'T like, but they worked for me in this special case. Just goes to show, there is always an exception.

    Have you read passions of a wicked earl by Lorraine heath? I've heard there's a major grovel scene in this book

  • @princemaddieful
    @princemaddieful 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Isn't Prince of Dreams a crazy ride? Weird but good. Have you read the first one (Emma's dad's romance)--also pretty bizarre.

    never sweeter it sounds like it will make me cry right? but i want to read it! I have loads of body issues i swear i have body dysmorphia even tho never been diagnosed. Also have been diagnosed with high functioning autism so school makes sense now. I really shouldn't read bully romances but i can't seem to help it

    so grateful for this video, i’ve searching for this trope recs forever
    try « arranged » by R K Lilley, i think you’ll like it, though groveling happens towards the end
