I loved the title of this video! I found your channel from Chrystal's Bookish Life. Although I am mainly a horror reader, I appreciate a good dark romance every once and a while! Some of these characters sound very intense! Looking forward to watching more of your content as a new subscriber!

[@TheBookRefuge]

Yay! Welcome! Hope you find some you like.

[@SissouLoveVideo]

Oh yeees Jerricho Barrons is everything !!

[@calloway2117]

Your cool, funny, straight forward and appealing💯. Thanks for the suggestions

[@bonniebennett8102]

It's a hard no for me with Untouchable. I got through half the book when I just had to stop reading. I couldn't take it anymore. Carter violates Zoey and demeans her and her every reaction is "oh Carter is just being Carter. There's nothing I can do about it, oh well." Just because she's able to rationalized his behavior doesn't make their relationship any less toxic. If anything this makes the story even worse because she knows from the jump that she's dealing with a psychopath. She doesn't go in blind with him and then gets the script flipped on her later on. No. Zoey recognizes Carter's crazy during their first encounter. And what's weird is that she's able to compartmentalize her feelings and tuck them away only until she thinks Ericka knows what Carter did to her in that classroom and then all of a sudden the gravity of what happened to her that day, hits her and she's forced to see her relationship with Carter through someone else's eyes and recognizes there's no rational reason why she should be with this guy and yet she is. Throughout the book Zoey tries to psychoanalyze Carter. But all the while I'm reading, I keep wondering what the heck is wrong with her?

[@TheBookRefuge]

Thats fair enough. I think that part of Untouchable is that Zoey is a little twisted too, otherwise Darter wouldn't be as drawn to him and he wouldn't be so interested. From that first encounter where he assaults her, he sees how she handles the situation and his interest only grows. I'm not trying to make everyone love him or anything, but his brand of Psycho just works for me.

[@anastan5445]

@@TheBookRefuge agree wholeheartedly! Yessss. It plays into the fantasy and it's 100% ok and perfect and valid! Please post more. I support you!!!!

[@liliththefallenone8972]

Remo and Damon, I can't choose, I love them both💓💓💓

[@klappertaartholita4838]

Hi darling. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for recommending me Untouchable. Carter was as twisted as he was fantastic. I forgave him because how much he worshiped the heroine. For me, he redeemed himself at the end. Loved him! I am currently reading twist me series and OMG, ok I agree with you it is DARK but I enjoy it so far. The next one I'm gonna dive in after Twist Me series is the cora reilly's one you mention in this video. Thank YOU. 😘

[@Reikimakesmehappy]

I love your reviews and read two books last night from your dark romance list; Master by Kressely Cole which I loved.

[@abk.92]

I remember loving untouchable when I read it, though I have forgotten the story... NOT the starting though lol ... need to give it a re-read.

[@SamReadsALittle]

I added so many of these to my TBR, not sure what that says about me as a person 🙈

[@bonekaespanada]

ohhhhhhhhhh I simply LOVE these twisted book boyfriends!! My favorites are Victor and Niklas from In the Company of Killers series, okay... Fredrik is pretty awesome too...

[@TheBookRefuge]

Oh... I haven't read that one yet. I will add that to my TBR

[@mazo9275]

I use to do fanarts of dark romance book scenes and this channel has helped me a lot to find new books for inspiration. Top 3 1. Haunting Adeline 2. Sea of Ruin 3. Twist me Thanks, Jenn for all your work and dedication. New fan over here ❤️

[@sacred_devilx]

I have been addicted to dark books / dark romance for years. Twist Me is INCREDIBLE and is my favourite series EVER followed by "The Danger You Know" by Lily White. You gotta read it!

[@TheGoofy1932]

😱 Sam Mariano writes some of my favorite anti-boyfriends book boyfriends. If you like Carter then you'll 😍 Mateo Morelli. He's a special bad boy treat.

[@MultiKarola]

the Hunter IS A GEM OF a book. love it dearly

[@Tinkpookie]

Oh my god you HAVE to read Truly by Carmel Rhodes!!! I read it after my re-read of Untouchable (I’m not a fan of Carter at all)and after I read about Noah,I was like Carter who? Oh my you will swoooon over Noah, he’s delicious. There was just something about this book I loved,it got me out of my reading rut and I already want to re-read it😩

[@emmeff3339]

See now i want to read untouchable its been on my tbr but i just hate high school books now...but im have to check out.

[@heabooktubes]

Twist me was such an insane trilogy. I’ve never tried anything else by Anna Zaire’s because I’ve never recovered lol.

[@ridafatima23]

True, same thing happened to me. I have been looking to read something like this but nothing works. I m ruined now.

[@ashrivera241]

Omg I love Lothaire so much! He's my favourite book of all time. I'm on the last book of IAD that's out so far and I'm so sad😭 Apparently, a series called Lords Of The Underworld has a tiny crossover and Nix appears there (the authors are best friends) and I'm reading that next!

[@FromJessToYou]

Interesting list!

[@NayemasReads]

yesss my favorite type of book boyfriend😍😍

[@smalldoses6380]

Untouchable was soo good I'm rereading it.

[@TheGoofy1932]

🙉 LA, LA, LA... I can't hear you when you say less than glowing things about Sebastian St. Vincent from Devil in Winter. It's my favorite historical romance though so I may be just a little bit biased. 😂 I would have to add MacRieve along with Lothaire. Both are so good in a bad boyfriend kind of way.

[@raec.9615]

I love the untouchables , can’t find anything like it

[@jerminadzumbira7116]

l love the use of her language

[@heabooktubes]

Oh I read the first judgment road book but I decided I didn’t want that much sadness in my story.

[@TheBookRefuge]

That is fair. Those boys are messed up

[@joannemarkov]

If Julian Esguerra didn't quite do it for you, may I suggest Dante Santiago? Catherine Wiltcher has some spin-offs, too, which extend the Santiago Trilogy into more of a series.

[@TheBookRefuge]

Well I mean, they all do it for me. I just wouldn't bring them home to mama!! 😂😂 That's the point of the video. But I'll check out the recs.

[@katieterakami7131]

I need all the recommendations on jealous possessive men. Or is that an anti boyfriend.

[@mutibabasharat1294]

Can someone please recommend me the provided detail books. I want to read more of innocent, pure and naive heroine and ruthless, obsessed, possessive and jealous hero stories. And there should be slow burn romance with age gap. Also, the hero should be completely entranced by the heroine.Please please do respond i really need it right now, iam trying to find this specific shipping books.

[@aisecelik2155]

SAMEEEE

[@kieshara27]

Seduced by the wolf by Celia Kyle... Reid Bennett is a psychopath... he is also a wolf shifter... on a killing frenzy when he comes across his true mate.. a bear shifter named Evelyn.. please check it out... I just love Reid.. but I won’t bring him home... he might lose his temper and kill my family lol

[@GleekorGeek15]

Have you read Born, Darkly by Trisha Wolfe? It’s a romance between a psychopath serial killer and a psychiatrist and it’s sooooo good and hot, and very dark.

[@TheBookRefuge]

I have read it. It was an interesting story. I just didn't connect with the hero and heroine. But it was fascinating

[@abk.92]

@@TheBookRefuge this for me is intresting ... Maybe you can do a vedio on this... What it means to connect to a dark romance heroine or hero ... Ofcourse it is subjective but discussing it would be great !

[@pocketrocket1995]

Would love this video again in 2022

[@TheBookRefuge]

I actually did do one at the end of 2021. It's just called: Taboo Romances Psychopaths and serial killers!

[@liliththefallenone8972]

Fear me, Kill Switch💓💓

[@dynastyspencer2624]

Is untouchable anything like speak?

[@kieshara27]

This is more my kind of bad boys lol I them sort of bad turning good ..

[@oishikimukhopadhyay442]

I do not wanna bring them to mama....... 😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@anastan5445]

I wanna thank you so much for this video. I just wanna let people know. It's OK 100% to like ANY fictional character who is effed up. It's FICTION, it's your fantasy. It doesn't mean that you are a bad person irl AT ALL, ok?????? I am that kinda person who loves super effed up character, but I know that irl they wouldn't make good boyfriends. Fiction and fantasizing is liberating, ladies. Owning your own dark fantasies makes you powerful. It makes you self-aware. And irl? If you have a loving partner, who understands you and your boundaries.... You can make those fantasies become reality in a safe, sane and consensual environment Don't let anyone shame you for liking fictional characters! Because they are FICTIONAL and don't reflect on your real life morality and mentality. They are just FANTASIES.

[@ridafatima23]

I dare you to read HIS DARK MERCY by AMETHYST MOONN.

[@ruksanasiddika1125]

I love your outfit... it's super sexy and love all the recommendations u make.❤️

[@ilovekpop39]

I love Zoey and Carter. God!!

[@heabooktubes]

Woman. How did you just completely and totally sell me on untouchable. A book I know I’ve been turned off of before by reviews.

[@TheBookRefuge]

Well, it is very intense for the first 50 pages. But it helps me how the heroine is determined to figure him out and not remain helpless. Otherwise it would be completely too much.

[@heabooktubes]

@@TheBookRefuge maybe I’ll skim the beginning. 😆

[@mrscarter_]

Do they all have happy endings?😭

[@TheBookRefuge]

Lols, you know I am a Romance channel, right? I don't know who has burned you before, but I don't recommend any books without an HEA unless I explicitly say so. Haha! You are safe with me.

[@mrscarter_]

@@TheBookRefuge I love you😭❤️

[@Hannah_Rachel_and_Kotik]

There are a few book boyfriends who l enjoy reading about, but they are so demanding sexually, that if we did what they want every day, they will wear me out and increase my odds of getting Anal Cancer. Also, eye masks and light bondage may be fun, but getting hit with canes, belts or crops: NO. Basically, If you enter into a relationship with a kinky boyfriend, the sex has to go more vanilla on a daily basis, because there's not much time for daily high value productions every night.

[@ashrivera241]

Omg I love Lothaire so much! He's my favourite book of all time. I'm on the last book of IAD that's out so far and I'm so sad😭 Apparently, a series called Lords Of The Underworld has a tiny crossover and Nix appears there (the authors are best friends) and I'm reading that next!
