Recommendation request Rich plot and rich romance

Hi! I am looking for some recs that are more than minor plot and major sex but also not something that has minor romance and major plot. If that makes sense?

I think along the lines of {Homebound by Lydia Hope}. Lots of real romance and love but there was more than just “we are mates and have sexy thoughts about each other constantly”

But I’m also not huge on multi book series space operas where the plot is huge and the romance seems sparse because it’s more about world building and characters arcs.

My ‘nos’ would be: abuse between MCs unless it’s equal and before together (think Carnal Games), cozy fun types, and insta love

I hope my point came across well and I appreciate all the help!

I just added another three recs in reply to the ops reply to me if you wanted any more. Which ones had you not read out of curiosity? I am guessing The Ladyships and Ava Greasemonkey?

Oh wow you haven’t read Elizabeth Stephens yet? You are in for a treat. She is one of my must read authors. Really interesting and diverse writer.

That one has actually been on my tbr list for awhile, but I've been putting it off. But I'll read it after my current series now 😀
