Recs if you like Smoke and Scar...

I'm sure some of these are already on your TBR, so might as well add some more! Let me know if I am missing any of your favorites!

Romantasy books to read to escape reality that AREN’T ACOTAR and Fourth Wing.

we love a man who yearns in this house

just got a new knight! i sure hope his unwavering loyalty, mindless devotion, and tendency to kneel before me to kiss the palm of my hand before he commits atrocities in my name doesn't awaken anything in me

(recommendations for other knight books welcome in the comments, and note that i haven't personally read all the ones included here!)

mermaids, fairies, and anything whimsy is such fun way to spend these warmer months

Get on the hype train for these upcoming releases of books in a series. Now is the perfect time to jump on board a new series or start a re-read.

Covers the next 12 months. Updates once a month - please send recs

Change to list view and sort by author for easier browsing.

I will list the first book in the series and the upcoming book. I'm not including series from romances where it's hard to tell if the books are standalone or not (for my health🙃).

(I'm already questioning my sanity on how I'm going to maintain this, I wish we could make collaborative lists on here 😭)

Fantasy romance books (or paranormal-adjacent e.g. Omegaverse) with FMCs in their 30s or older and/or FMCs who read as +30s

bodyguards, knights & royal guards

Give me more badass FMCs who don’t wait for someone else to save the day!! Quick with a blade, quicker with a comeback, these bad b*tches take on monsters, villains, and terrible life choices with equal ferocity. If you’re looking for women who break rules, break hearts, and occasionally break a few bones, this is the ultimate list for you.

Books where the cover features only one person

Because we love our men hot, muscular, kind AND dumb 🥵🤭💖🥹 And sometimes we need one big cutie among a pack of growly alphas 🤗

✨Himbos in fantasy, romantasy, why choose and omegaverse✨

Recs pliss! (this list is too short 😭)

Trilogies. Trilogies! A list full of trilogies. This has a collection of titles I'm interested in and some I've simply come across. To save you the trouble, I made sure to put all books in a trilogy in this list. Enjoy! 💐

Books with average 4 or more 🌟 ratings and at least 100 points of engagement (reviews & posts) in Pagebound from the Master Fantasy and Romantasy List by readandtellstories. For those times when I want to find highly rated fantasy/romantasy books that aren't necessarily indie, self-pub. Books in a series will include only the first book. I can neither confirm nor deny the right for these books to have these ratings. This list will be updated monthly based on outputs from prime list.

Books members of the Timmunity absolutely LOVED!

Romantasy books with main characters that are 25 years of age or older. Choose from fae, shifters, vampires, witches and more. Only the first book of a series is included unless it is a standalone book or novella in an interconnected series.

For the Fae and Flame book club we always have a square in the book bingo dedicated to 'book club nominations.' Here is the list of past book nominations!

Under Starry Skies book club is on Discord - we read a variety of books and have one romance, one fantasy/general fiction, and one mystery/thriller/horror pick every 1-2 months as well as many buddy reads! This is our list of all our book club picks and buddy reads. Our community is a social space all about books, gaming, and kindness (/understarryskies). 💜

One way or another, they are inevitable, absolutely meant to be.
