Did a very cursory search and didn’t see it so I’ll post the one thing that truly prevents me from reading SO MUCH ROMANCE:
Asshole and alphahole protags.
Books are my escape. I don’t want to be introduced to a man I’d simply sink into the bushes a la Homer Simpson to avoid IRL, presented to me as the supposedly smoking hot love interest, yet whose attitude is capable of curdling milk. I have all but given up trying anything new that Lucy Score puts out, but this trope is unfortunately prevalent in way too many romances.
Honestly, for me, it’s very take it or leave it as a genre for me. Inclusion in other books or as a standalone doesn’t bother me at all unless the male love interest is awful or the sex scenes are out of pocket (dynamics are bad, unsexy descriptors, etc.)
I tried Lucy on recommendations from friends and coworkers but was less than into it by the time I realized pretty much all her male leads are Like That™️ and yet the female protags still have the picket fence and kids with them anyway (if you read her epilogues). As I said…that’s not an escape for me.
tl;dr picky picky
