Many links are Amazon or Bookshop affiliate. A small percentage of each purchased using this link earns money for the site, so please use these if you&#;re so inclined!
Please note that as is common with Intimacy, many of these books are in a series with recurring characters. All should be readable as standalones, however, unless noted otherwise.
Additionally, please be advised that this is more of a database than a rec list; I have not read most of these titles, and strongly advocate reading reviews for potential triggers etc.
