Meet My Wife Series by Lil A
Lil A’s Meet My Wife series is a provocative narrative of contemporary relationships, which are no longer as simple as love and loyalty. The series revolves around Bryce West, a recently divorced man whose marriage failed due to his wife’s infidelity, a decision that Bryce believes was made easier by his ex-wife’s liberal stance. Bryce’s path of identity is shaken up when he gets involved with Laura, who is married to Phillip and not only allows but encourages his wife to cheat on him and have a relationship with Bryce. This structure erases the idea of marriage and throws the characters into a world of sexual desire, love, and dominance.
The series also explores the modern concept of relationship and commitment by portraying the relationship between Bryce and Laura. Lil A has written a personal story that is also quite disturbing, and as we meet these characters, we are exposed to their inner worlds and dreams. Meet My Wife is a mature comic anthology that forces the reader to question the basis of relationships and is highly recommended for anyone interested in the nature of human interactions.

Chained by Choice: Slavery Series by Lil A
In Chained by Choice: The Slavery Series, LiL A moves its readers to the hot and rather uncomfortable world of Julia, where a woman’s search for her innermost desires turns into a dangerous game. The novel starts out as a BDSM-themed game between her husband Scott and her and then turns into a rather dramatic story of power struggle, passion, and psychological survival. As Julia becomes more and more of a slave, she is put through ever more degrading and severe ordeals that push her further and further into the role and her desires. This series, which is intended for an adult audience, does not shy away from the themes of dominance and submission and drags the reader into a world where one can equally choose to pleasure or to suffer, where the consequences of one’s actions are as exciting as they are dangerous.
The strength of this series is not only in the explicit and unapologetic portrayal of sexual consent but also in the exploration of the characters’ emotions and psyche. Although Scott is a rather strict and commanding character who has internal struggles when it comes to the relationships with Julia and other characters, the aspect of love and power is depicted quite vividly in the series. However, subplots featuring secondary characters such as Ricardo and Lucia add more dimensions to the book’s romantic and spicy aspects and creates suspense and mystery in Chained by Choice. As Julia faces her humiliation in public as well as her personal pain, the text explores ideas of the commodification of women and objectification of individuals, forcing the reader to consider the lines that have been drawn for them when it comes to power struggles in relationships. If you are looking for something more adventurous and thought-provoking, this series takes the audience through the human mind when it is under immense pressure.

The Arranged Marriage Series by Gia Hunter
The Arranged Marriage Series gives a fascinating introduction to the phenomena of love and control, presented in the context of the marriage of convenience and manipulations. A mature series that depicts a rather tense interaction of the main characters, who accidentally got into artificial marriages and then were captured by their feelings. Sadie Greer is promised to Cenric Wollf, a man who is as deadly as he is attractive; both of them with their reasons to run away and to avenge, get caught up in a plot that is much bigger than they can comprehend.
The next novel in the series is by Adley Kross, who wakes up one day and decides to marry a stranger, Mykel Creed, so that she is able to get her share of the family inheritance, which she has been denied—only to find that they were both marrying for the wrong reasons. It is just as important for Princess Carlott, who after losing all that was dear to her, becomes Carly Storm and vows not to make mistakes, but finds herself falling for her rather rude CEO boss, Rome Langston. With London Vanderford marrying her bodyguard Striker against all the norms in The Arranged Marriage to Estelle Bladwyn meeting Linden in a not-so-honeymoon and falling for him, this series is a steamy mix of desire, power play, and the unexpected chemistry that forms the base of a good romance novel.
