Recs if you like Phoenix Unbound (Fallen Empire, #1)...

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 🤷‍♀️.

Some authors are able to take you to a fantasy world with just their words, dialogs, dialects, culture and languages.

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!)

After following the amazing antics of OfficialHellsBelles on Instagram, I have made a list of the books and authors mentioned.

Also read Jaysea Lynn’s For Whom the Belle Tolls! 💜

Updated note: several books are missing, but I requested them from the librarians. I also skipped all the Sarah J Maas books.
