    1. Looking for the filthiest, smuttiest, sexiest books with over the top MMCs but zero darkness.
    2. Looking for romances where the FMC is the YOUNGER daughter who is the neglected scapegoat, and she finally gets the love and protection she deserves from the MMC
    3. Books where the MMC is a professional athlete and the FMC lives a fairly ordinary life, but he keeps showing up at her workplace, around her friends, or where she lives, leaving everyone wondering why they're even hanging out together
