Recs if you like Master of Crows...
He Taught Her the Game. She Learned Too Well.
For where desire is just another move on the board. Cunning, morally questionable people, who are usually several steps ahead draw in an underestimated women into worlds of politics, manipulation, secrets, and power. She learns his rules, becomes harder and smarter, and eventually the power may shift.
The vibes of mentorship with ulterior motives, court intrigue, strategic marriages, obsession disguised as guidance, and a heroine realizing she might enjoy having teeth.
Childless by Choice
These books include couples that do not plan to have children ever. I've also added a few books where they don't even talk about kids and there's no baby in the epilogue.
Fantasy books with a grumpy sorcerer love interest
Fantasy romance books where the love interest is a grumpy sorcerer (for the Howl girlies)
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!)
teamwork makes the romance work
Romance novels where the main characters fall as they work together as a team toward a common goal, with most of the conflict coming from outside their relationship. Often found in romantic suspense, arranged marriage novels, and novels with career-driven protagonists. Very open to suggestions. It's my favorite trope.
