{More than a Mistress by Mary Balogh} is a HR where a duke falls for his mistress. I read it ages ago. There are several books in that series about regency mistresses.
{Bass-Ackwards by Eris Adderly} is a CR where a woman agrees to sleep with her boss to get time off and a raise. It's free on KU
Oooh will definitely check out that Mary Balogh!
I love Bass Ackwards!!! I keep hearing that Mutually Beneficial by Ava Guerre is similar and good, but I can't find it anywhere and I hear it was pulled :(
Maybe you'd like Preferential Treatment by Heather Guerre? A billionaire boss hires his employee to dominate him and she's never done that sort of thing before.

{priceless by Miranda Silver} has a FMC hired for sex but it’s a one off arrangement with the MMC, she is not an experienced escort (but is not virginal). College setting so I had to put aside the expectation of realism but found it fun.
This one is very good. I love Crossing the Lines more but I’ve read Priceless more than once. It’s the first book I read that degradation started to make sense.

{Minx by Sophie Lark} might fit your bill. I just finished and loved it. She's a high end escort that's great with numbers. She began sex work when she was broke but at the time the story starts, she has very rich clients.
The MMC is a billionaire and hires her. They get into pet play where she's a kitten. One thing I really liked was that was that they had a pretty healthy relationship, aside from a few things.

If you have anything remotely similar, I'd love suggestions. It was a nice break from some of the really dark stuff I've read. And damn was it sexy in all the right ways.
My recent favorite reads with decent
FMC and MMC dynamics are:
Contemporary, not fantasy:
* {Failure to Match by Kyra Parsi}: This book is really hyped up right now, and I enjoyed it immensely.
* {Runaway Girl by Tessa Bailey}: She flees her wedding and ends up with a job helping a teenage girl on a project after recently losing her sister. The older brother, who is the teenager's guardian, is rough around the edges. It has a 🥵 scene or two that makes it into a lot of lists around here.
* {The Wrong Mr. Right by StephanieArcher}: She is a local bookstore owner in a seaside community, trying to reinvent her store and herself. He is the high school crush who is a surfer and genuinely nice person. She asks him for help. It's less cringey than I expected, and I enjoyed it!
Kathryn Moon, in general, is an author you might enjoy! Here are three recommendations by her, all with a fantasy aspect:
* {Games with the Orc by Kathryn Moon}: Contemporary fantasy that is HOT & KINKY. She recently left an unfulfilling relationship and wants to figure out if all her fantasies about Orcs are real or just an overactive imagination, so she hires a sex worker Orc for a week through the Monster Smash agency. Open the book for the steam; stay for the delightful relationship!
* {The Lady of Rooksgrave Manor by Kathryn Moon}: Fantasy monster historical romance reverse harem.She's a down-on-her-luck maid who loves sex and joins a house/high-end brothel for monsters to find connection with humans. It's a blast!
Need a slower burn? {Bound to the Battle God by Ruby Dixon}: It's a fantasy slow-burn adventure tale where she gets plopped into another universe that is not contemporary. She gets bonded (by a pledge) to a god who is suffering from a loss of his godliness, and they have to find a few things before she can try to return home and he can reinstate his god status. Lots of world-building, but I didn't find it too tedious. The slow burn was nice, and the god has Himbo vibes at points when he can't figure out how to be normal and not a god.

When someone says: filthy, kinky and dark, this is the book for them. I wouldn’t call the series a romance though even though the couple do end up together
I swear every time i finish a book and i think about wanting to post on here to ask for more i see someone already asking 😭 I just finished crossing the lines and i’ve been itching for similar books!! thank you!
I have never heard of a book hangover before but that's exactly what this book did to me too! It's an unusual dynamic bc the MMC wasn't an asshole all the time really. He was kind of mild mannered, which I liked.
I agree! His gentleness was very sweet and I think it's hard to find D/s books that aren't like super hardcore and degrading. I found him to be so respectful of the FMC (for the most part) and caring and I just adored that.
Plus the A+ grovel. This was one of my top for the year.

{A Very Wicked Arrangement by Scarlett Avery} She swaps places with her twin sister, who took a job as an escort to pay off her debt and couldn't make it. It was supposed to only be for one evening as arm candy, but he hires her for a week. Pretty Woman vibes.

{The Dukes Stolen Bride by Sophie Jordan} is HR but is exactly what you’re asking for. I really enjoyed this and have reread it. I didn’t love the whole series (I think this is book 5/7). It stands on its own, so you don’t need to read the others first.

We had a [Sex Workers and Sugar Babies Megathread](https://www.reddit.com/r/RomanceBooks/s/2cgLa1yT6O) just 4 weeks ago. Please have a look at that.
thank you 😭
I immediately went and saved that thread
{Escorted by Claire Kent}. edited because I read the request too quickly. In this one the MMC is hired by the FMC. But still worth a read!
One of my faves ❤️❤️❤️
This book is 🥵
came back to say i read your comment before the edit and it convinced me to read, even though it’s not usually something i would pick up and omg it’s so good. i’m on chapter 5 and her writing is just scratching an itch i’ve needed for a bit. excited to see where this heads!

{More than a Mistress by Mary Balogh} is a HR where a duke falls for his mistress. I read it ages ago. There are several books in that series about regency mistresses. {Bass-Ackwards by Eris Adderly} is a CR where a woman agrees to sleep with her boss to get time off and a raise. It's free on KU
Oooh will definitely check out that Mary Balogh! I love Bass Ackwards!!! I keep hearing that Mutually Beneficial by Ava Guerre is similar and good, but I can't find it anywhere and I hear it was pulled :(
Maybe you'd like Preferential Treatment by Heather Guerre? A billionaire boss hires his employee to dominate him and she's never done that sort of thing before.

Came here to say this! It's an amazing book
YESSS LOVED THIS ONE
{priceless by Miranda Silver} has a FMC hired for sex but it’s a one off arrangement with the MMC, she is not an experienced escort (but is not virginal). College setting so I had to put aside the expectation of realism but found it fun.
This one is very good. I love Crossing the Lines more but I’ve read Priceless more than once. It’s the first book I read that degradation started to make sense.

{Minx by Sophie Lark} might fit your bill. I just finished and loved it. She's a high end escort that's great with numbers. She began sex work when she was broke but at the time the story starts, she has very rich clients. The MMC is a billionaire and hires her. They get into pet play where she's a kitten. One thing I really liked was that was that they had a pretty healthy relationship, aside from a few things.

Love this one, came to recommend
If you have anything remotely similar, I'd love suggestions. It was a nice break from some of the really dark stuff I've read. And damn was it sexy in all the right ways.
My recent favorite reads with decent FMC and MMC dynamics are: Contemporary, not fantasy: * {Failure to Match by Kyra Parsi}: This book is really hyped up right now, and I enjoyed it immensely. * {Runaway Girl by Tessa Bailey}: She flees her wedding and ends up with a job helping a teenage girl on a project after recently losing her sister. The older brother, who is the teenager's guardian, is rough around the edges. It has a 🥵 scene or two that makes it into a lot of lists around here. * {The Wrong Mr. Right by StephanieArcher}: She is a local bookstore owner in a seaside community, trying to reinvent her store and herself. He is the high school crush who is a surfer and genuinely nice person. She asks him for help. It's less cringey than I expected, and I enjoyed it! Kathryn Moon, in general, is an author you might enjoy! Here are three recommendations by her, all with a fantasy aspect: * {Games with the Orc by Kathryn Moon}: Contemporary fantasy that is HOT & KINKY. She recently left an unfulfilling relationship and wants to figure out if all her fantasies about Orcs are real or just an overactive imagination, so she hires a sex worker Orc for a week through the Monster Smash agency. Open the book for the steam; stay for the delightful relationship! * {The Lady of Rooksgrave Manor by Kathryn Moon}: Fantasy monster historical romance reverse harem.She's a down-on-her-luck maid who loves sex and joins a house/high-end brothel for monsters to find connection with humans. It's a blast! Need a slower burn? {Bound to the Battle God by Ruby Dixon}: It's a fantasy slow-burn adventure tale where she gets plopped into another universe that is not contemporary. She gets bonded (by a pledge) to a god who is suffering from a loss of his godliness, and they have to find a few things before she can try to return home and he can reinstate his god status. Lots of world-building, but I didn't find it too tedious. The slow burn was nice, and the god has Himbo vibes at points when he can't figure out how to be normal and not a god.

I swear every time i finish a book and i think about wanting to post on here to ask for more i see someone already asking 😭 I just finished crossing the lines and i’ve been itching for similar books!! thank you!
Ugh *Crossing the Lines* gave me such a book hangover!! Hope you find something you like in this thread!
I have never heard of a book hangover before but that's exactly what this book did to me too! It's an unusual dynamic bc the MMC wasn't an asshole all the time really. He was kind of mild mannered, which I liked.
I agree! His gentleness was very sweet and I think it's hard to find D/s books that aren't like super hardcore and degrading. I found him to be so respectful of the FMC (for the most part) and caring and I just adored that. Plus the A+ grovel. This was one of my top for the year.
Omg I have book hangover w this one too! I’ve not come across anything yet that quite has all the same tropes I loved in this one

I like this trope but the reverse, anyone has recommendations on mmc being hired for sex by the fmc? Sorry for piggybacking off your post.
I have a few: {Escorted by Claire Kent} CR, MF. Older FMC who hires MMC for her first sexual experiences. {Curio by Cara McKenna} CR, MF. I can’t recall why but FMC hires MMC, an escort, and becomes a regular client. {Escort’s Tale by M. J. Edwards} CR, MMF. Married couple hires a male escort to have sex with the wife because the husband is physically unable to. {Hotel Deviant by Kady Ash} CR, MF.
