I'm interested in delving into fantasy romance. I've tried to read ACOTAR and fourth wing and another cringe horrible one I forgot. I really want a GOOD well-written fantasy romance!
I’ve heard good things about Lily Mayne’s Monster series and enjoyed her Folk series, enough that I want to read the rest of her work.
But ‘cringe’ is pretty subjective. What do you consider cringe? Smut, romance tropes, bad dialogue/writing?
Someone to Build a Nest In by John Wiswell is a bit more along the lines of a more traditional SFF story that has romance as a big plotline, as opposed to a romance novel with SFF as a secondary characteristic (like Mayne’s books tend to be).
Juliet Marillier’s novels also contain a lot of romance.
You might like the Harrow Faire series – I did *not* enjoy very much of the author’s other book, ‘The Unseelie Prince’, but Harrow Faire looks more interesting.
