I've been reading genre romance for going-on-30 years now and I wanted to highlight some of the books that I've enjoyedbut that have either faded into obscurity or never made it big to begin with. Be Aware! Some of these books are going to be pretty dated! Please check the original publishing dates so you know what you're getting into. I'm also happy to provide any CWs/TWs/heat levels for any book listed if you ask in the comments! (Note: I've also included some romantic fantasy/scifi in this list.)

Wild recs, weird plots, werewolves and were-other things.

If a bond so strong you can hear each other's thoughts is your vibe and being able to whisper sweet nothings with only your mind is a love language you wish you could have, welcome home.

If you know of any we should add let me know!

A hodge podge collection from different genres of series that are interconnected standalones. In this list, you'll only find the first book that introduce each series. Books in interconnected standalones usually have contained stories but share lore throughout the series or might have an overarching plot that is shared by the characters in each book. Do recommend any you can think of as I want to max out the 100 book capacity allowed here.

A good PNR series is like one of those desserts you always find more room for. Do you already have shelves full of lusty vampires, werewolves, witches, demons, ghosts, and fae? Yes, duh! But that doesn't mean there's not always room to add another, and another...
