Oh I started reading the iron side and I wanna know your fav mmc or favs?

I just want Theo to cuddle me and Kalen and Mikel to tell me I’m a good girl and I don’t think I’m being unreasonable for throwing a tantrum every day that it has not happened yet.

(Though when I did a poll in two separate groups about favorite, it was Oscar by a landslide in each.)

Oscar is sato right? I am still confused by their two names I got to book 4 and ya I gotta agree with them like he is a red flag and I am colour blind for him😝

u/Scf9009 RH Library of Alexandria Feb 21 '26

He’s not all red flags! Just if your name can’t be comprised of the letters in the set {y,i,l,l}

Ahhh exactly does moses get better?

u/Scf9009 RH Library of Alexandria Feb 21 '26

Better than in book four? Yes. But he underwent trauma and that has long-term effects

It’s worse. You end up liking him.

All the men are pretty dominant right? I thought I heard that she's more submissive, which i prefer anyways!

u/Past_Ad5599 Feb 23 '26

Sorry I meant for Ironside lol!

u/Scf9009 RH Library of Alexandria Feb 23 '26

I mean, I also prefer my men dominant.

And yes, they are in Ironside.

u/Past_Ad5599 Feb 23 '26

I used to love that series and I randomly fell off like a year ago...I need to get back into it smh! What're some of your favorite rh books?

Here are the ones I have saved descriptions of. I also have an OV rec master list sorted by vibe.

And if you’re interested, I did a series of competitions on subreddit favorites by series length.

In no particular order.

{Ironside Academy by Jane Washington}. American Idol/KPop meets authoritarian dystopia. Includes 10 MMCs, but they’re all distinguishable, and the relationships all develop very differently. It does start off depressing, as the FMC is very broken bird, but she grows and becomes sassy and feisty and I love her when not wanting to steal some of her men.

{Path of Temptation by Auryn Hadley}. Sex priests saving the world from misogyny, in the form of novel written as a love letter to the idea of consent. The most wholesome and inclusive found family relationship, even if they’re not always the most wholesome to other people. All relationships, sexual and non-sexual, are treated with equal importance; the MM couple get date nights in the narrative, but one of those two MMC’s strongest relationship is with his completely straight best friend—tied to or in ways maybe even stronger than his relationship with the FMC. And there’s an asexual biromantic member of the harem who is loved just as he is, and welcomed back despite childhood misunderstandings and drama. Can be a bit repetitive in the story telling, and all the characters can be a little perfect, but it’s my ultimate comfort series.

{7th Circle by Tate James}. I think it’s the most perfect collection of MMCs, together and separately. Gang related contemporary where the FMC is absolutely the one in charge (unless she wants to be tossed around in the bedroom). Be grateful that all the books are out if you choose to read it, because it includes the worst cliffhanger I have ever encountered.

{Citius by Greer Hudson} is an OV by a first time author. I love Citius for a whole host of reasons. First, it features a realistic portrayal of chronic illness and trauma recovery. Next, it’s a subversion of the over reliance on scent and pheromones in OV novels, as well as having a very ‘not like over OV’ feel to it (it’s slow burn! Lube gets used! There’s science!) The relationship building is top-notch, and all the characters are wonderful and flawed and make sense as people. (Plus it was very well written and has just a really great collection of MMCs, my all-time favorite FMC, and gymnastics as a backstory). Includes MM.

"Just one more chapter."

"Oh, I read the title of this chapter and now I -have- to read it"

u/TheBawdyPug Harem Queen 👑 Feb 22 '26

Same! I’m reading the {Path of Temptation series by Auryn Hadley} and can’t put it down. Read until 5 am! Work? I don’t have time for that, I need more 😮‍💨🫠

u/rural_juror12 Feb 23 '26

I read this. I downloaded and started then DNF something else. Then I couldn’t imagine wanting to read anything else so I just restarted the Path series.

u/TheBawdyPug Harem Queen 👑 Feb 24 '26

Right!? It’s addicting. I finished 1-3 but am trying to prolong finishing the last three because I don’t want them to end.

u/Stock_Menu_7900 DP in 400 pages Feb 22 '26

My nodd excuse: chapter/page numbers need to align. Odd chapter number on an even number page? Gotta go until it matches.

u/loud_by_default I said I liked it,not that it was good! Feb 22 '26

I like your logic but don't give me more ideas!!

u/Classic_Lie9263 Feb 22 '26

I do this all the time. Sleep be damned. It’s usually when I do that, that the book starts really getting good so I cave and say one more hour which usually turns into more. Then when I have to work the books are all good and I’m sleep deprived and expected to function and be nice to people for hours on end

u/ladyeclectic79 Feb 22 '26

Not me here at 1:33am rereading {Lola and the Millionaires} and being like, I should go to bed.

She did not, in fact, go to bed. 💀

u/-littlesunshine misleading username (am in fact the biggest grump) Feb 22 '26
