This is the perfect romantasy for slow burn and TENSION. It is a true enemies-to-lovers with a unique magic system, training sequences (trainer & trainee 🥵), and beautiful found family.
Riftborne by Parker Lennox, Bree Grenwich, Hardcover
The first book in an absolutely epic romantasy series with a unique magic system, found family, and a journey that will keep you on your toes!
Marked By Destiny (The Marked Series)
One of my all time favorite romantasy books! Follows a human who is thrust into a world of fae where everyone are mirror images of people she knows in her human life. It is filled with enemies-to-lovers, fated mates, found family, training sequences ...
Heir of Blood & Fire (Blackblooded #1)
The yearning and tension in this book is unreal!! Be warned that there is a lot of heartache and devastation but the journey that the FMC goes on is so beautiful. This book features an epic quest, forbidden love, no spice (but so much yearning and te...
Where Darkness Falls (Celestae Chronicles 1)
The first book in a currently two book romantasy series featuring a human who will do anything to save her family, including infiltrating the fae kingdom.
A Court Bright and Broken (Age of Fae #1)
SPICY SPICY SPICY! This book had my jaw in the floor and fanning my face only a few chapters into the book but wow was it good. The second book in the series is out this fall so hurry to read this one now!
A Fire in the Sky #1 - Sophie Jordan
This book may be more on the YA side of romantasy but I was hooked the whole time! Bridget has been cursed for months and is thrown into a tournament to marry the prince only to find out that things are not as they seem and she can not be sure who sh...
Of Kingdoms and Curses (Blood and Curses 1)
The second book in the series was even better than the first (Riftborne) and I didn't think it was possible. The romantic plot twist that I did not see coming and now I am left foaming at the mouth for book 3.
Duskbound: by Grenwich & Lennox
The second book in the series (after Marked by Destiny) and wow did this one come in hot! The spice is unreal and the multiple love interests?? Did not see that coming!
Scarred By History (The Marked Series #2)
The second book in the series (after A Kingdom Bright and Broken) and all you need to know is this book will be the biggest plot twist when it comes to the romance…
A Kingdom Ruthless and Radiant: Fae Romance
The Ascended is the next book in the world created by Grenwich and Lennox when they released Riftborne and Duskbound. I highly recommend reading Riftborne and Duskbound first for the most emotional impact but it is not necessary as it is an interconn...
The Ascended (The Aesymarean Duet)
This is a unique romantasy that is heavily mixed with thriller and action components! The magic system is not the focus of the story but it is a unique world that leans more “magical realism”. The story is loosely based on Anastasia but it will have ...
