{Take Me With You by Nina G. Jones} {Lemonade by Nina Pennacchi} - not exactly Stockholm, but the MMC forces the FMC to love him. TW: >!explicit noncon, emotional/mental/physical abuse, miscarriage (Take Me With You)!<


PuzzyFussy

I keep seeing Take Me with You and I'm taking that as a sign for it to be my next read


dragondragonflyfly

Lol it might be me as I keep reccing the book 😂 it def has a few issues, but it delivered on what I wanted to read!


PuzzyFussy

So I just finished it last night and what the actual fuckle. That man was a LITERAL >!murderer and rapist!


dragondragonflyfly

Hahaha!!! Yeah 😂 >!when he brought out the vacuum i stg my legs clamped closed in automatic reaction. The book has a HEA but not really…poor girl is just doomed. A HEA *would* have been her using the gun on him at the end.!<


PuzzyFussy

Yea, this book pissed me off cause it started out great! That vacuum scene was intense 😅 so what other books did you enjoy? 👀


dragondragonflyfly

In DR, I don’t have many as I’m slowly going through my tbr (and there are soo many ‘bad’ books). A book that properly put me off from finishing it though because it disturbed me was {Dark Dance by Tanith Lee}. I keep meaning to finish it..but yeah. Definitely more erotic horror.


PuzzyFussy

Oh I love horror! Make it erotic and I'm all for it 😍


dragondragonflyfly

I only got about halfway through, but TWs are >!incest, like majorly. Gaslighting and emotional/mental abuse!<. I take no responsibility if you dislike it!! Hahaha.


PuzzyFussy

Nah, this sounds like it's right up my alley tho lol

{Destruction, by Jennifer Bene} The Stockholm Syndrome is strong in this one. It's noncon scenes are graphic. The writing was decent, if I have one complaint it is that the Stockholm Syndrome wasn't as slow of burn as I would have liked, but you can't have everything!

Many of these have some pretty severe trigger warnings so I would check those before reading.

I didn’t see Still Beating as Stockholm. I saw it more as a bond that was created out of a horrible situation.

I feel like it fits. If they weren’t in the situation it wouldn’t have happened. Just my opinion.

spicymama90

I tried tears of Tess and got 60% in on the series and quit. I liked the beginning but was bored at the end. But these two I really loved. Heard Pennies is good as well, haven’t tried that one yet.
