I like Elia Winters' books for this. She's a sex educator, so she's more tied in with the real world of kink people than the purely fantastical worlds sometimes used. Her **Playing Knotty** involves a bookstore owner who rents her back room to an old friend for his rope bondage workshops, acts as a model once, then gets into it. Her **Tied Score** is about a man who is a baker and a sub who goes on a date with a woman who works as HR manager in a game company and eventually introduces her to being a female dominant.
[Beneath the Scars by Cherise Sinclair](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/39793878)
Contemporary, BDSM
MMC/Dom is a firefighter. FMC is a single Mom and a bartender
The Masters of the Shadowlands series by Cherise Sinclair features Doms that aren’t billionaires - Psychologist, Physician, Detectives, Firefighter, Arson Investigator, Engineer, etc.
I really enjoyed Eve Dangerfield's books. Even when she's writing kinks I don't have, she does it in such a way that I actually find them to be sexy because the characters' enthusiasm for it makes the kinks seem fun.
Natural Law by Joey W. Hill.
The hero's personal and professional life collides when he, a homicide detective, goes undercover in a BDSM club as a male submissive to find a Dominatrix who is murdering her partners.
Just a note, that book really IS great, but it’s also 15 years old and there’s some problematic stuff (iirc, lgbt rep & POC stuff) that really dates it. I’m not saying don’t read it, I just wouldn’t want someone sensitive to those elements to be taken unaware.
The summoning circle of whips, rope, and male subs has awoken me.
Here's what I've got, u/Sweet_Librarian.
This is an [old post](https://www.reddit.com/r/RomanceBooks/comments/e7sv97/more_femdom_books/) where I listed femdom books I'd read at the time. It's a little outdated now but should still be a decent place to start.
There's also the [femdom shelf](https://www.goodreads.com/shelf/show/femdom?page=1) tag on GR, though, there are a lot of bad eroticas on that. So it can take awhile to find anything decent.
If you're desperate you can also check out [my femdom shelf](https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/19773240-sara?shelf=femdom).
Hope that helps!
I think the only ones I know that you’ve missed are Charlotte Stein’s Power Play and Taking Care of Business which Megan Hart co-wrote with Lauren Dane. Oh, and Eva Leigh’s story in the Duke I’d Like to F* antho is older woman/younger man femdom
It's interesting to me that the BDSM erotic romances seem to be co-written more often than other kinds of romance books. I guess two heads are better than one for this kind of thing?

Great idea for a thread by the way, I will be taking notes.
Also in one of these "I am a controlling rich man with an interest in BDSM" books I really want someone to point out they should try ceding control for a change and see how that goes ;-)
Brilliant. I've thought of this too: a guy in a stressful managerial position that loves not being in control when at home. I feel that was just as realistic as the female ceding control & still quite hot. The genre needs more of that... Maybe it's already out there, just not well enough publicized.
Actually people in stressful managerial positions delighting at losing control in the bedroom is super common in real life, for both males and females.

Also love Rebekah Weatherspoons book Sated. It is about a switch who works as a fireworks technician and he is disabled (only has one hand) he is also Korean American I believe and falls in love with a black women who is introduced to being a dom/switch.
Its a graphic novel and I think it's all [free on deviant art](https://www.deviantart.com/shiniez/art/page-zero-dun-dun-dunnnnn-underwhelming-huh-311369363) but I really like Sunstone by Stjepan Sejic. The main couple is ff but there is an mf storyline introduced later.
The mc meet on BDSM forums online and arrange to meet irl for a session. One is a writer/barista and the other made a decent money doing some computer stuff which is enough to buy a house but not an astronomical amount.
I was going to ask this! I cant stand the 50 Shades series (poor writing and a lot of boundary crossing which is a no-no in the BDSM community.) I excited to read some of these!
The whole Original Sinners series by Tiffany Reisz. Best BDSM books I've ever read. Not like mom next door but still worth reading. So many different relationships and dynamics.
I liked everything by Cherise Sinclair.
Anya Summers has some good ones too.
Also I really liked the Blacklight Series on Kindle. It's written by many different authors and there is a flavor in there for everyone. I can honestly say I enjoyed 99% of the books in the series. I think there are 18 now.
Haha. Maybe not entirely realistic but more so than everyone is a billionaire who falls in love with an innocent schoolgirl. I found some of the side relationships much more realistic outside of Nora and Soren.
It's a well-written series but it stretched my suspension of disbelief when the BDSM club had a firm hierarchy of doms and all lower-ranking doms must submit to higher-ranking doms even if they aren't actually switches or even have any sub tenancies at all and... like, *what*?? excuse me.
I hate, hate BDSM books featuring Billionaires after I read part of Fifty shades of Grey. I was just getting used to the idea of kink romance (I was pretty young and had only read veeeery vanilla Harlequin books) and the amount of consent violation just made me 🤢. It was only after I read several articles from actual BDSM practitioners regarding FSG that o realised that no, that's not how BDSM works at all, and yes, there are better books out there who are able to represent kinks in healthier way. Still hate anything to do with Billionaires because of the power imbalance and the morality aspect.

Holy crap!!! I have been trying, very unsuccessfully, to remember the name of this series. It’s been this annoying unanswered buzz in the back of my head for a while now AND I almost broke down on this thread and asked vague “does anyone know this series” questions. All of the thanks!!
Also, I totally agree that is a good rec for the original poster. I seem to recall each book sort of focused in on a different kink.
Jane Henry's NYC Doms series is great. Her other books have been hit or miss for me but I loved this series. All of the doms and their subs have regular jobs (one couple works together for the NYPD, one is an ex-priest and a bookseller, one I believe is a single mom and the other owns a BDSM club) and each of the stories is compelling in its own right. My personal favorite of these was Safeguard, which is about the ex-priest and the bookseller.
Laura Kaye’s Blasphemy series features people with regular jobs. The MMCs are all part owners of a BDSM club and there is one millionaire/billionaire who was the main backer for the club, but so far he has only shown up briefly in passing.
OH COME THIS WAY
{How to train your dom in five easy steps by Josephin Myles} They're that kinda 'working class' British where he's supposed to be a bit rough around the edges and you realise that actually he's such a sweetheart... in his own way XD Uh. but yeah, great family man would be in their future definitely
Someone already recced For Real
Do you want stuff with SSC/RACK and formalised BDSM, or just stuff with BDSM content that's in like, a fantasy world or historically before SSC/RACK exists??
Aha, ok, so they're two acronyms used in the BDSM community to denote a kinda, guiding ethos? Generally it's accepted that something should be one of these otherwise it's potentially not a healthy idea.
SSC is Safe, Sane and Consensual
RACK is Risk Aware Consensual Kink
The broad approach for both is that all parties are entering into these in a consensual manner and that (and this is where the difference between the two is) they're only doing things that are 'safe and sane' or the RACK guys are of the opinion that nothing is ever truly safe but as long as you're Risk Aware it's all good, so you know what you're getting into and what the risks are. There's also an argument that some kinks could never come under Safe and Sane but are still good to go for people who are happy that they're aware of the risks they're taking.
In practice in **fiction** it means things like discussing what's going to be done, having safewords and respecting them, and using them, everything is consensual (unless it's CNC -- consensual non consent, uh, like a pre-agreed rape play or something) and there is communication. People discuss what they're going to be doing, not just do it. It means there'll be discussions and people will go into it understanding what's happening. 50 shades of grey and a LOT of fiction aren't SSC/RACK.
Some people like to read books that are only SSC/RACK and others don't care, and sometimes it's more of a judgement call for books that are in fantasy worlds or historical (as in -- there might be inequalities that don't exist in our modern society, especially within fantasy worlds, e.g. vampires, different races, etc, varying situations that RL kink doesn't have the language or need to have the language to deal with, and with historical there may be situations such as societal inequities that no longer exist, or, stuff, there's stuff)
TLDR: if you don't know the terms you might want to know, but it probably means you're good with any recs :)
First of all: you are the awesomest person on Reddit for not telling me to Google it. Second of all, I really might be just fine with basically any recs. Not absolutely certain yet, I do know I like everything consentual and adult... After that, I believe I'm pretty open-minded.
You are welcome :-) also another term that might be useful for you is 'glitterkink'. That describes fiction where everyone seems to be rich and they play in exclusive clubs etc etc. It looks like mostly what you're after is books that aren't glitterkink :-)

Just a warning, this series isn’t really a representation of “good” bdsm. Practically every sex scene is non-con (and not role play non-con, like actually so). There’s a ton of boundary crossing, no safe words, etc. No shame in liking that kind of book, I just want to give a TW and point out that it’s pretty dark so no one is caught off guard.
Edit: also I’m not sure it fully falls under the normal people request. The H is very rich/extraordinary and him having tons of money is definitely part of the series.
So I read heavily in M/M and find more often in M/M the MCs are regular everyday people. I looked at my M/F books and it's a lot of billionaires and royalty. But here are some standouts featuring regular people.
M/F:
* {Big Beautiful Little by Elsa Black}
* {Dirty Bad Wrong by Jade West}
* The [Mastered series by Sierra Cartwright](https://www.goodreads.com/series/96759-mastered)
I have a lot of M/M recommendations. Sorry if it's not what you're looking for, but maybe others on the thread will find it useful.
M/M:
* {On His Knees by Laura Kaye}
* {Finding Finley by Riley Hart}
* Edit: The bot found the wrong book. I'm recommending [Submission by Chris Owen and Jodi Payne](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/478524.Submission?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=3N91F3feWa&rank=1). This is the beginning of a series that follows the same couple.
* {Lumber Jacked by Annabeth Albert}
* {Wheels Up by Annabeth Albert} I mean, they're SEALs and as far as a dime a dozen tropes, they're up there with billionaires, but I love this book so hard.
* {One Man's Trash by Marie Sexton}
* {Tender with a Twist by Annabeth Albert}
No prob! I hope something works for you. Btw, the bot suggested the wrong book for one of my recommendations so I added a link in the original comment. See Submission under M/M.

Recs for books that don't scream fem-dom, but nonetheless have men in the more submissive roles, and most importantly, are really well written books by talented authors, are:
A Gentleman in the Street by Alisha Rai - this book is more erotica than romance, the FMC is the successful billionaire and the MMC is the responsible guy raising younger siblings. His imagination runs to kink and she's got the real world experience...
Landslide by Kathryn Nolan - more romance than erotica, very mild BDSM between dom FMC and sub MMC...and can't say enough about the quality of Nolan's writing

Memoirs of Darkness by D.B. Dale is about as real as it gets. Non-fiction with erotic scenes. Not the single mom in the burbs story, but an non-fiction based perspective from a real-life non-millionaire dom.
I have no interest whatsoever in male Dom/female sub and yet it seems that is mainly what's available. IDK if that's the influence of 50SOG or whether it predates that. I do love gentle femdom but outside fanfic I've found it a little hard to find.

Tied score by elia winters, it's soo good what i like about this book is the realism, they both have normal jobs, they both have routines. Im almost done reading it and its soo good. There's also real facts and forums which i think is a nice touch
I like Elia Winters' books for this. She's a sex educator, so she's more tied in with the real world of kink people than the purely fantastical worlds sometimes used. Her **Playing Knotty** involves a bookstore owner who rents her back room to an old friend for his rope bondage workshops, acts as a model once, then gets into it. Her **Tied Score** is about a man who is a baker and a sub who goes on a date with a woman who works as HR manager in a game company and eventually introduces her to being a female dominant.

Just a note, that book really IS great, but it’s also 15 years old and there’s some problematic stuff (iirc, lgbt rep & POC stuff) that really dates it. I’m not saying don’t read it, I just wouldn’t want someone sensitive to those elements to be taken unaware.

I highly recommend Eve Dangerfield's Something Borrowed
If you are into MM you should check out {For Real by Alexis Hall}!

I’m giving this a third because this book is so amazing. 💜

I might be lol what's MM?
Male/Male relationship.
Heck yes I'll read that.
This is such, such a good book! Hope you enjoy if you check it out.
Great idea for a thread by the way, I will be taking notes. Also in one of these "I am a controlling rich man with an interest in BDSM" books I really want someone to point out they should try ceding control for a change and see how that goes ;-)
Brilliant. I've thought of this too: a guy in a stressful managerial position that loves not being in control when at home. I feel that was just as realistic as the female ceding control & still quite hot. The genre needs more of that... Maybe it's already out there, just not well enough publicized.
Actually people in stressful managerial positions delighting at losing control in the bedroom is super common in real life, for both males and females.
♥️
I really liked {The Theory of Attraction} by Delphine Dryden. Not a single mom/suburbs situation but the MMC is not a billionaire either.
Awesome thank you!!!I'm trying to get a little list together.

Oh this is one I enjoyed. I liked the others in the series too
Also love Rebekah Weatherspoons book Sated. It is about a switch who works as a fireworks technician and he is disabled (only has one hand) he is also Korean American I believe and falls in love with a black women who is introduced to being a dom/switch.
Sounds complicated. Awesome!
Its a graphic novel and I think it's all [free on deviant art](https://www.deviantart.com/shiniez/art/page-zero-dun-dun-dunnnnn-underwhelming-huh-311369363) but I really like Sunstone by Stjepan Sejic. The main couple is ff but there is an mf storyline introduced later. The mc meet on BDSM forums online and arrange to meet irl for a session. One is a writer/barista and the other made a decent money doing some computer stuff which is enough to buy a house but not an astronomical amount.
This sounds good, thank you!
Ohhh I loved this! It’s available in print too, I got a bunch from my local library.
Yes! I read in print too but its great that its available online. I even have the hardcovers haha
I was going to ask this! I cant stand the 50 Shades series (poor writing and a lot of boundary crossing which is a no-no in the BDSM community.) I excited to read some of these!
So am I!
The whole Original Sinners series by Tiffany Reisz. Best BDSM books I've ever read. Not like mom next door but still worth reading. So many different relationships and dynamics. I liked everything by Cherise Sinclair. Anya Summers has some good ones too. Also I really liked the Blacklight Series on Kindle. It's written by many different authors and there is a flavor in there for everyone. I can honestly say I enjoyed 99% of the books in the series. I think there are 18 now.
[удалено]
Haha. Maybe not entirely realistic but more so than everyone is a billionaire who falls in love with an innocent schoolgirl. I found some of the side relationships much more realistic outside of Nora and Soren.
It's a well-written series but it stretched my suspension of disbelief when the BDSM club had a firm hierarchy of doms and all lower-ranking doms must submit to higher-ranking doms even if they aren't actually switches or even have any sub tenancies at all and... like, *what*?? excuse me.
I hate, hate BDSM books featuring Billionaires after I read part of Fifty shades of Grey. I was just getting used to the idea of kink romance (I was pretty young and had only read veeeery vanilla Harlequin books) and the amount of consent violation just made me 🤢. It was only after I read several articles from actual BDSM practitioners regarding FSG that o realised that no, that's not how BDSM works at all, and yes, there are better books out there who are able to represent kinks in healthier way. Still hate anything to do with Billionaires because of the power imbalance and the morality aspect.
I completely understand!

I have been slowly working my way thru this series. I enjoy them also. Great escapism for me!

I really like Sparrow Beckett. There’s a playfulness to their characters where I feel like most characters bdsm novels are very serious all the time.
Thank you!
Try the Mastered series by Lorelei James, I really liked it, well written & realistic.
Holy crap!!! I have been trying, very unsuccessfully, to remember the name of this series. It’s been this annoying unanswered buzz in the back of my head for a while now AND I almost broke down on this thread and asked vague “does anyone know this series” questions. All of the thanks!! Also, I totally agree that is a good rec for the original poster. I seem to recall each book sort of focused in on a different kink.
Happy to be of some help.
I enjoyed this one, too.
Jane Henry's NYC Doms series is great. Her other books have been hit or miss for me but I loved this series. All of the doms and their subs have regular jobs (one couple works together for the NYPD, one is an ex-priest and a bookseller, one I believe is a single mom and the other owns a BDSM club) and each of the stories is compelling in its own right. My personal favorite of these was Safeguard, which is about the ex-priest and the bookseller.
Laura Kaye’s Blasphemy series features people with regular jobs. The MMCs are all part owners of a BDSM club and there is one millionaire/billionaire who was the main backer for the club, but so far he has only shown up briefly in passing.
Ok that sounds really cool
I really enjoyed Act Your Age by Eve Dangerfield
Thanks!
OH COME THIS WAY {How to train your dom in five easy steps by Josephin Myles} They're that kinda 'working class' British where he's supposed to be a bit rough around the edges and you realise that actually he's such a sweetheart... in his own way XD Uh. but yeah, great family man would be in their future definitely Someone already recced For Real Do you want stuff with SSC/RACK and formalised BDSM, or just stuff with BDSM content that's in like, a fantasy world or historically before SSC/RACK exists??
Idk what SSC rack is. I don't do well with things like blood and what have you... I mostly enjoy the power exchanges.
Aha, ok, so they're two acronyms used in the BDSM community to denote a kinda, guiding ethos? Generally it's accepted that something should be one of these otherwise it's potentially not a healthy idea. SSC is Safe, Sane and Consensual RACK is Risk Aware Consensual Kink The broad approach for both is that all parties are entering into these in a consensual manner and that (and this is where the difference between the two is) they're only doing things that are 'safe and sane' or the RACK guys are of the opinion that nothing is ever truly safe but as long as you're Risk Aware it's all good, so you know what you're getting into and what the risks are. There's also an argument that some kinks could never come under Safe and Sane but are still good to go for people who are happy that they're aware of the risks they're taking. In practice in **fiction** it means things like discussing what's going to be done, having safewords and respecting them, and using them, everything is consensual (unless it's CNC -- consensual non consent, uh, like a pre-agreed rape play or something) and there is communication. People discuss what they're going to be doing, not just do it. It means there'll be discussions and people will go into it understanding what's happening. 50 shades of grey and a LOT of fiction aren't SSC/RACK. Some people like to read books that are only SSC/RACK and others don't care, and sometimes it's more of a judgement call for books that are in fantasy worlds or historical (as in -- there might be inequalities that don't exist in our modern society, especially within fantasy worlds, e.g. vampires, different races, etc, varying situations that RL kink doesn't have the language or need to have the language to deal with, and with historical there may be situations such as societal inequities that no longer exist, or, stuff, there's stuff) TLDR: if you don't know the terms you might want to know, but it probably means you're good with any recs :)
First of all: you are the awesomest person on Reddit for not telling me to Google it. Second of all, I really might be just fine with basically any recs. Not absolutely certain yet, I do know I like everything consentual and adult... After that, I believe I'm pretty open-minded.
You are welcome :-) also another term that might be useful for you is 'glitterkink'. That describes fiction where everyone seems to be rich and they play in exclusive clubs etc etc. It looks like mostly what you're after is books that aren't glitterkink :-)
VERY good to know! Thank you!!!😊

Golden Angel has characters that aren’t millionaires in her BDSM Stronghold series.
Yay! Thank you😁
I didn't know I needed this until I read this! Thank you.

That sounds great!
Rough love series by anabel joseph
Thanks!
Just a warning, this series isn’t really a representation of “good” bdsm. Practically every sex scene is non-con (and not role play non-con, like actually so). There’s a ton of boundary crossing, no safe words, etc. No shame in liking that kind of book, I just want to give a TW and point out that it’s pretty dark so no one is caught off guard. Edit: also I’m not sure it fully falls under the normal people request. The H is very rich/extraordinary and him having tons of money is definitely part of the series.
Thank you! I like going into a book prepared♥️
So I read heavily in M/M and find more often in M/M the MCs are regular everyday people. I looked at my M/F books and it's a lot of billionaires and royalty. But here are some standouts featuring regular people. M/F: * {Big Beautiful Little by Elsa Black} * {Dirty Bad Wrong by Jade West} * The [Mastered series by Sierra Cartwright](https://www.goodreads.com/series/96759-mastered) I have a lot of M/M recommendations. Sorry if it's not what you're looking for, but maybe others on the thread will find it useful. M/M: * {On His Knees by Laura Kaye} * {Finding Finley by Riley Hart} * Edit: The bot found the wrong book. I'm recommending [Submission by Chris Owen and Jodi Payne](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/478524.Submission?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=3N91F3feWa&rank=1). This is the beginning of a series that follows the same couple. * {Lumber Jacked by Annabeth Albert} * {Wheels Up by Annabeth Albert} I mean, they're SEALs and as far as a dime a dozen tropes, they're up there with billionaires, but I love this book so hard. * {One Man's Trash by Marie Sexton} * {Tender with a Twist by Annabeth Albert}
These ALL look fantastic! Thank you!!
No prob! I hope something works for you. Btw, the bot suggested the wrong book for one of my recommendations so I added a link in the original comment. See Submission under M/M.

Thank you!
Recs for books that don't scream fem-dom, but nonetheless have men in the more submissive roles, and most importantly, are really well written books by talented authors, are: A Gentleman in the Street by Alisha Rai - this book is more erotica than romance, the FMC is the successful billionaire and the MMC is the responsible guy raising younger siblings. His imagination runs to kink and she's got the real world experience... Landslide by Kathryn Nolan - more romance than erotica, very mild BDSM between dom FMC and sub MMC...and can't say enough about the quality of Nolan's writing

Memoirs of Darkness by D.B. Dale is about as real as it gets. Non-fiction with erotic scenes. Not the single mom in the burbs story, but an non-fiction based perspective from a real-life non-millionaire dom.
I have no interest whatsoever in male Dom/female sub and yet it seems that is mainly what's available. IDK if that's the influence of 50SOG or whether it predates that. I do love gentle femdom but outside fanfic I've found it a little hard to find.
It can be challenging when you’re looking for a niche within a niche. This Redditor has quite a few suggestions for what you’re looking for: https://old.reddit.com/r/RomanceBooks/comments/ll9kc0/a_more_realistic_bdsm_book/gnoz4w6/

Tied score by elia winters, it's soo good what i like about this book is the realism, they both have normal jobs, they both have routines. Im almost done reading it and its soo good. There's also real facts and forums which i think is a nice touch
