Yesterday Marcus asked me why grown-ups drink coffee if it “just makes you grumpy anyway.” I had no comeback. He’s not wrong. Between parenting, editing deadlines, and trying to keep up with Colorado Springs’ moody weather (triple digits last week, thunderstorms this week), I need an outlet. For me, that outlet is reading paranormal romance. I love the mix of danger, lust, and the kind of tension that makes you squirm. The best ones are unapologetically wild, with stories that make me blush and laugh at myself for reading them in public. What makes a good spicy paranormal romance for me is when the supernatural elements heighten the intimacy, when the forbidden feels extra dangerous, and when the tension pays off in scenes that are both passionate and absurd. These stories don’t just push the envelope—they burn it. So in honor of all the stories I probably shouldn’t admit I’ve read, here are five paranormal romances that feel like they should come with a warning label.
