Recs if you like Warprize...
Characteristics of a berserkir 🪓
Romances with Vikings, Barbarians, Berserkers and other warlords as the mmc.
Books where he maybe…invades her country, is a feared warlord in their armies, is given to him as a warprize, or she is put into an arranged marriage with him as part of a alliance or peace negotiations…or maybe he is a alien race that actually goes beserk when he’s angry 🤷♀️.
The “I do… I guess?” Collective 💍
A collection of recommendations for the stories of couples who basically meet at the altar and then have to figure each other out after they’re already married. Sometimes reluctant, sometimes secretly pining, sometimes fully in denial, always a little tense
Slow burn, emotional intimacy, shared beds with stranger energy 😌 (hopefully not stranger danger energy)
Made from all your amazing recs, and very much open for more 📚✨

Romantic Fantasy and Sci-fi - a non Romantasy list
Stories that deliver high to medium fantasy or sci-fi with a hint or a good dash of romance to keep our hearts warm 💘 (recs of similar books are very welcome!)
The Realm Comes First (Until You)
For stern, principled men built out of duty, discipline, and inconveniently strong morals. The kind who will make brutal choices when they believe they’re necessary, put responsibility before desire, and hold themselves to impossible standards, until someone earns a place in their heart and discovers just how gentle all that iron can become.

Claimed, Taken, or Won
That’s my spouse now.
Books where a romantic partner is obtained without courtship and one or both didn’t sign up for this shit. HEA only. Maybe dub con but not rapey.
I have read and enjoyed all of these books.
