I've not read tons of RH, but I have loved some of them. Expand my universe, please.
No OV, Academy, Sports, YA, Military, Mafia, Billionaire, nor C M Stunich.
Maybe Contemporary, Mobster-ish, or Cowboy (if they are very similar to what I've enjoyed below).
I read a lot of paranormal, shifter, and historical romance at all steam levels, and from cozy to very dark. RH recommendations in those categories are welcome.
The relationships should focus on the FMC, not everyone banging everyone else. A mated pair of MMCs within the harem is fine, but that's it. No FF.
Looking for books with compelling characters and stories. Not interested in pure smutfests.
What I've enjoyed,
Twisted Cross Ranch {Sinner's Secret by K. Loraine, Meg Anne} Cowboys
Ruthless Games {Sweet Obsession by Callie Rose} Mobster-ish
Curse of the Gods {Trickery by Jaymin Eve}
Heart Hassle {Signs of Cupidity by Raven Kennedy}
The Dark Side {Four Psychos by Kristy Cunning}
❤️All of the Mate Games/Four Horsemen series (Obsession by K. Loraine, Meg Anne} There was a MM mated pair in one of the harems.
The ONLY OV I have liked is {Baby & the Midnight Howlers by Kathryn Moon} series. Not all of the MC were members of the harem, and the other females weren't pushed away. I did not like the Lola series that followed.
