So I recently purchased (Audible) “mana Master” (Bruce Sentar) and “Wicked Abyss” (Kresley Cole), and returned them BOTH because I couldn’t stomach the thrusting, climaxing, “shaft-rubbing” (sorry for that), orgy-style content.
But until that moment, I was LOVING the story. I really like the magical elements, D&D (maybe?), swooning female, paranormal romance storyline.
Can you suggest me a STEAMY (not fade to black, but also not pornographic) adult, heterosexual fantasy romance?
I see LOTS of romance, but always female POV. I don’t really enjoy the “rock-solid abs” and “chiseled jawline” descriptors. And It’s hard to find a male paranormal romance without it being a harem novel.
For reference, I LOVE the John Carter (Barsoom, damsel in distress) books, and would love a similar fantasy type feel.
My favorite books are the quirky irreverent ones, and less the serious fantasy type. I’m not looking for a 36 hour long deep dive. But I am looking for a romance driven, fantasy, steam session. (Sorry to be so choosy).
Can anyone help me?

Have you tried the Innkeeper Chronicles by Ilona Andrews? It’s got that quirky vibe you’re looking for and the steam level is pretty perfect – not fade to black but not full-on erotica either. The male POV isn’t as common in that series but the banter and world-building might scratch that itch
