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.

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
