@@LadyJaneBooks it's super intense but really compelling. I'd also recommend Twist Me by Anna Zaires and His by Aubrey Dark. They're both very dark but if you enjoy super twisted romance you might enjoy them.
This video made me realize how ordinary the romances that I read are, lol! I think I could get into things that are weird and different, but it all depends on the execution, of course. Great video!
I WAS blushing when I read Otherwise Alone! The cover is the most tame part of the whole series! 😂😂😂 Wonder what my neighbor thought! 😂😂😂 thank you sooo much for watching! 😊😊😊
I just found your channel and I really liked it! I like how you decribe the books. You say just the right amount that makes me want to read it but not too much so that i feel spoiled about the plot ^^ Looking forward to more recommendations! 😊
Hello! Thank you sooo much! I really appreciate that feedback! Thank you sooo much for watching and leaving a lovely comment! Welcome to Lady Jane Books! 🌸
I’ve heard of The Mulberry Tree. It has intrigued me. I just love that title. It rolls off off the tongue. Oh boy! Flowers in the Attic reference! That’s deliciously taboo and saucy!
It is a beautiful story! One of my all time favorites! Flowers in the Attic was so great! Forbidden is like Flowers but modern and DEFINITELY more direct! Thank you sooo much for watching!!! 😊😊😊
Great video I really enjoyed this! I Read Stolen by Lucy Christopher when I was 15 and I loved it, I thought it was fascinating and it's probably what made me gravitate to dark romance as an adult. I also read Transcendence years ago and it was amazing, I actually found it super sweet and I was really rooting for Ehd and Elizabeth! I've also had Forbidden sitting on my borrowed book shelf for years, I keep meaning to get to it and you've just reminded me it exists so thank you!
Thank you very much! Stolen was so good, especially the ending! Transcendence is one of my favorites. Its amazing that on the surface it sounds so bizzare but it is actually a great story! Let me know what you think of Forbidden! Thank you sooo much for watching, Charlie! 😊
@@LadyJaneBooks Both Transcendence and Stolen are books that has stayed with me years and years after I read them. Considering how many books I read a year, a book has to be super special to stick in my mind like that and these two definitely made a huge impact. I hope I love Forbidden.
You describing these are hilarious! Love YOU and the second installment is great too. The third one comes out later this year. Stolen sounds creepy....
Ohhh i had heard mixed reviews on the second installment, so I stopped at You. Might need to revisit that discision! Stolen could have been very creepy but it is actually more tame than it sounds. Very interesting premise!
@@BookwormAdventureGirl yes! The actor that played Joe was INCREDIBLE! Perfect casting! I only watched the first season though... let me know what you think if you read Stolen! Thank you sooo much for watching and leaving a thoughtful comment!
I don't know about you, but I'm probably going to be reading horror books for Valentine's Day...I'm definitely weird. I honestly don't read that many romance books, but I do on occasion like some romance. Also, I really should read some Jude Deveraux books. They're so popular and I haven't read one!
This video is just so Lady Jane and I love it. A neanderthal romance? Hmm sounds interesting but as a former sci-fi nerd and time travel enthusiast I can't help but wonder about the possible butterfly effect style consequences. Side note do you like the Butterfly effect film? "This was so steamy it had me blushing and I'm Lady Jane" followed by that sound effect was so damn funny. You know how much I love my SFX. There were some really intriguing recommendations here and although I wouldn't necessarily read them I'm glad I watched these videos and know they exist now.
Thank you, Thank you! I am very proud of this video! The Neanderthal romance was actually quite good. Not sure of the butterfly effect in it though! That is something to think about. I actually have not seen the film! Think I will leave the sound effects to you, Mason! Yours are so much better! Thank you so much for watching and I am so glad you enjoyed this one!
Interesting video. It's surprising that I'm not into romance novels, as I'm a romantic person. I don't mind it as a side plot. I guess Christine, is the closest thing to a romantic novel I have read.
hahahahah healthy romances are overrated, bring on the warped! I put Transcendence on my list immediately and it sounds like a trip and a half. if you want weird stuff, i highly recommend alien romance as a genre. i don't know what's going on in that part of the industry but i'm fascinated. Stolen sounds a bit intense for me, but it sounds like a better version of stuff I used to read on Ao3 back in the day
😂😂😂 Transcendence is so good! Very bizarre but actually really interesting! VERY spicy! Oooohhh I have never read alien romance! I read the first Lux novel but that’s about all my alien experience! 😂 thank you sooo much for watching! Let me know if you read Transcendence!!! 😊😊😊
I does not matter how much I like a book-- I could not read a 400 page novel in a day haha. Out of all the packages of books that end up going to the neighbors, of course, would be these haha Your videos always have a good laugh--thanks! 😂🤣
When I read You, I had to put it down after the fifth chapter. I was just overwhelmed by how convincing the characters voice was that I felt ill. I did come back and finish it and it was phenomenal. I can't even watch the series. But that's just a testament to how well it was written.
Exactly! That is a great point! It was so realistic it was unsettling, especially the characterization of Joe. Thank you so much for watching and leaving a thoughtful comment! 😊
COVID. Brother and sister... ew... lol These are a little to straight for me but I'm glad you liked them lol Also I live for your bloopers lol even bookdown bloopers lol
😂😂😂 just a 2319!!! 😊 yeah Forbidden is a weird one but beautifully written! I have not read any “strange” LGBTQ+ romances! I have read several that are very beautiful, but none that I would consider “weird” or “dark”. Do you have any recommendations? Thank you! Just keeping real on Lady Jane Books! Thank you sooo much for watching and leaving a lovely comment! 😊😊😊
Personally, I prefer romances that are considered "unconventional," "dark," and "problematic," so this list is definitely perfect for my Valentine's Day! 🤣 Can I just say, I absolutely LOVE Forbidden (weird to say, but... BUT!). It was so beautifully written. Lochan and Maya are both such likable characters. So, I felt like a hollow shell of my former self after reading it. Have yet to read Flowers in the Attic, but I really want to give VC Andrews a try. Oooh, definitely reading You as well.
Me too! That is the fun of reading, we get to enjoy dynamics and situations we would not in real life! Problematic romances give me that outlet so I appreciate that I am not the only one! 😂 I LOVED Forbidden! It was so different and daring! Flowers in the Attic is very similar but with more family dynamics. I loved it! I think you would really enjoy YOU. Let me know if you read it! Thank you sooo much for watching, Cherry! 😊
@@LadyJaneBooks So true! 😌👌 I really should get to Flowers in the Attic soon. I'm so glad you also love these types of dynamics. So excited so hear more recommendations from you. 💖
If you haven't read it, you may like Valentina y I think it's Fern Michaels. In the time of Richard the Lion Hearted but not about him really.
Can't really get behind reading the bro/sis thing. I mean if it's Amber series sort I can work with it but otherwise just too nasty for me so while the others sound very interesting, I can't... LOL
I did think VC Andrews, though, right before you said it. LOL. And I couldn't get into her. Morticia
I have heard great things about Valentina! Yes, Forbidden is DEFINITELY not for everyone. It was a harsher version of Flowers in the Attic! Thank you sooo much for watching! 😊
I personally think its like a thriller/romance. Most people probably would go with thriller but I think since it centers on Joe snd Becs dynamic, one can argue that there are some romantic themes. And this list is not meant to be traditional romances anyway 😂😂😂 thank you sooo much for watching and leaving a thoughtful comment! 😊😊😊
Aaah. Isn't it unfortunate when your neighbours rip open your package with dirty books inside? 😂😆 Thankfully that has not happened to me (yet). But the employees at the bookstore know my face and bring out the big English fantasy tomes whenever I come around without me having to say anything. 😅
"Are these good, healthy relationships?!" People need to understand that sometimes, you just want a little weird/chaos factor in different romances 🗣 DEKLAN sounds EXACTLY like what i need rn omg OTHERWISE ALONE sounds... extremely my shit omfg
Exactly!!!! A little unusual spice us nice! 😂 Shay Savage is a really great romance writer if you are looking for something different. You cannot go wrong with Decklan or Otherwise Alone!
Do you have any WEIRD romance recommendations?! Comment below! 😊
I would recommend Comfort Food by Kitty Thomas if you're looking for something super weird and dark. I think it's my most reread book ever 😂.
@@charlieridley1156 I have heard about that one! It sounds very intense! Thank you for recommending!

@@charlieridley1156 awesome! I will definitely be checking them out! Thank you!

😂 they are not for everyone! If ordinary romance is your thing, go for it! Thank you sooo much for watching! 😊😊😊
I have some of these books on my TBR and hearing you talk about them made me even more excited to read them!
They are all very good! Would love to hear your thoughts on them!!! Thank you sooo much for watching! 😊
Loved your thumbnail picture!
Thank you! Wanted to try something different! 😂
😂 the blushing over otherwise alone; I'd have been so annoyed at the length of it. Great video as always

I skipped past transcendence the other day, I will have to give it another look! Great list! I’m a sucker for a sexy romance now and then!
Transcendence is bizzare but so good!!! 😂😂😂 mmmmhmmmm you and me both!! 😂 thank you sooo much for watching!
Ohmygosh! Your neighbor seeing your dirty books😂🤣😂
I seriously just added every single book to my tbr😂🤦🏻♀️ loved this!
So embarrassing!!!! 😂😂😂 let me know what you think if you read any of them! Thank you sooo much for watching! 😊😊😊
@@LadyJaneBooks the first one will probably be Transcendence since you’ve mentioned it so much lol
@@Booksinthedark my favorite! 🔥

@@LadyJaneBooks I watched the show first, but agree, it is good casting. I will keep you posted about Stolen.
How did I know there would be a mention of Shay Savage?!?😂 💜💐💕 Happy Valentine’s Day, Lady Jane!
😂😂😂 3 in fact! 😂 But her books are very good and my favorite romances. Happy Valentines Day, Kari! 🌸💐🌷

Does You by Caroline Kepnes count as romance? It's a smashing book and I think Joe thought he was being romantic...
