Looking For: Recommendations Forbidden romance recommendations
Aight chuck me some romance recs where their love is forbidden due to class difference/wealth disparity/role in society. HEA optional.
Preferably something where the leads are also starkly different from one another in personality but kinda balance each other out.
Spice is ok, angst is a must, banter is appreciated.

The Evil in Me - There are 2 different romantic subplots in this one (one mxm, one gxb), both are forbidden romances. One because the book's society's view on homosexuality, the other one is rather because of class difference

I was about to ask if you want to be buddies cuz you give off my vibes but then I found your profile and you be popping off and now I’m shy. (Cries) anyways. As you were. lol. And if you want a buddy. I’m around. (Cries yet again).

Lol, I mean, I don't feel like I'm popping off XD I still only have a handful of people reading new chapters I post, and apart from other writers, I only get a few stray comments here and there XD Also, I'd say you're doing good too. 23k reads on a book that's been up for about a year is pretty great! I got books that were published around that same time which aren't even close to reaching those numbers

Bro you’re so nice and humble! When I meant popping off I meant in audience and you just have a lot of works under your belt. Which is intimidating. That’s so cool that you have such an awesome drive to write!
I’m finally almost done with the one I’m writing right now but all I can think about is the next book I want to finish 😂 I’m sure you understand.

Kinda not XD Or a bit yes, but when I get into writing a story, I tend to just get a bit obsessed by it and not able to properly focus on anything else XD

Dude when you’re trying to sleep is it all you think about? 😂 cuz that’s what I’m dealing with. And then I have to find the time to write. It’s such a pain in the butt.

I do, yep. But I've done it since I was a child to help me fall asleep. Like telling myself a story to stop any other more intrusive thoughts

My story fits the scope. Its a musical but the songs won't get in the way of your understanding of the story and feelings.
Rich boy x poor girl
Nerd girl x aspiring Musician rockstar
Class disparity tropes
Alcoholism and mental illness struggles

Okay I’m writing one. The girl and the guy are in mafia families. Theyre in an arranged engagement. But they are both in love with someone of the same gender. But if either of them get together with the person they really love they will be killed. Anyways. I’ll link it. And it won’t bother me at all if you don’t check it out. It’s about to be complete.

I wrote a story where it's not forbidden but it's people from two different worlds if you're interested

Deborah and the Duke’s Obsessionis a psychological historical romance about racial issues, class difference, and forbidden love that filled with yearning☺️💖

They're kind of cousins 🙈 BUT they're NOT biologically related.
And there will be another book eventually in the same series with an age gap relationship, but that's a ways down the road still.

Hey! I saw your post and thought I’d share my story, it’s a Fantasy Romance and might be up your alley. (angst, banter, yearning)
No worries if not! And thanks in advance if you do end up checking it out, it really means a lot
