Fantasy Books With Great Romance! (romantasy to fantasy with romantic subplots!)

[@asiangsus]

i am in a romance reading mood, this is PERFECT!

[@fionaschaeffer7485]

fantasy w romance (romantic fantasy, romantasy, fantasy with a strong romantic subplot) is my most favorite kind of book and yet it is sooOoooOooo hard to find the good books that fit this category - always love your recommendations on this topic!

[@hayleyraejohnson]

I LOVE romantasy🥰

[@catsandbats77]

The Spellshop is one of my favorite books this year. I just loved it. I'm excited that we're getting another book in this world. I also enjoyed Where the Dark Stands Still. Another YA fantasy based on folklore (this time Welsh) with a great romance in it that I would recommend is The Hedgewitch of Foxhall. The banter in it made it so fun. The audiobook is narrators were great. Another fantasy with a lovely romance in it is A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross. I'm currently reading the sequel. I recently bought The Book that Wouldn't Burn and I want to read it soon.

[@starszbooks]

Currently reading Spellshop now because I saw it in your Husband buys you books video. I love it so far 😊

[@ChessiZ444]

I JUST finished the Ninth Rain and oh my gosh it did not disappoint!! It’s exactly what I wanted out of most fantasy romances

[@asfaloth12]

So happy to see Where the Dark Stands Still on this list! I am currently reading and loving this book. The other books look great, too, and I hope to read them someday. Thanks for sharing!

[@atinytanuki4126]

Long time lurker here! So happy you've discovered Jen Williams! Would definitely recommend her trilogy The Copper Promise if you're enjoying The Winnowing Flame~ Jen's also poked into horror/thriller too! Hope you look into more of her books, she's so amazing!

[@danaewardrup3922]

Thanks you for recommending Where the Dark Stands Still--just finished and loved it!!!

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I need where the dark stands still. Sounds right up my alley!!

[@downrighteerie17]

I've finished 2 of 3 books in The Ninth Rain series and I ADORED them, I can't wait to end the trilogy soon! It's truly such a unique fantasy world, with really interesting characters and dynamics, highly highly recommend.

[@sarahnorrie6468]

I need more archeology book recommendations! I love lore and learning about ancient civilizations, helps if they are hot.

[@mikaelab7485]

I’m in the middle of the Gael Song trilogy by Shauna Lawless and while the whole series is GREAT there is a romance in it that makes me legit swoon

[@laurenschenck5355]

A dark and drowning tide OBSESSED! Love thus book 🎄📙📚📚📚🎄🎄❤️☃️📖🎄📚💚💚🎁💚❤️☃️🎅🏻📖📖🎄🎄📚📚📙📙📙💚💚💚💚📚📚

[@emilyemmet6136]

Strange the Dreamer is one of my all time favorites. Absolutely beautiful book.

[@slicedsammi]

I love Grace Draven! If you haven’t read her book Radiance yet, I would highly recommend that as well 😊 Can’t wait to check out the other recommendations!

[@BlackHand531]

Question. Is this book the same as wraith kings vol 1?

[@slicedsammi]

@@BlackHand531Sorry, I just saw this - it is!

[@BlackHand531]

@@slicedsammi I bought her the regular one already😅. Wish I knew before.

[@solvictor6105]

Hi! The Dark Rise series by C.S. Pacat also fits in the last category. It's a great fantasy with a romance subplot that's there but isn't really, kind of, and it's also a slow burn that builds throughout the series. If anyone has something similar to that, please show it to meee

[@CleverClarkCreations]

Regan, you are the reason I read Gideon the Ninth! What wild ride! ❤🎉

[@feylights166]

Most fantasy has some element of romance, but obviously, your milage may vary. But sometimes the lines really blur. Wayfarer Redemption, Symphony of Ages, and Kushiel's Legacy, for example, are epic fantasy with sweeping plots, thick books, and lots of world-building and lore. But they are also heavy on the romance, with the romance being a major plot point (Kushiel's Legacy in particular, which I have picked up again after dnfing the second trilogy years ago, while not erotica, is kinda erotic fantasy). And sometimes there are romance novels with a fantasy subplot. So the lines can blur. But I do love a good queer romance.

[@vera8404]

The Silhouette by Billy Ray Middleton Jr. Serious 'Notebook' vibes on that one!!!! Ninth Rain was choice as well!!

[@black-aliss]

Ohh, The Book That Wouldn't Burn is also an incredibly clever, intricate book! The central mystery of the library is set up as a puzzle for the main characters, whose every meeting is explosive. And as you get a feel for who they are, you can't help but think how well they'd fit together. It's just completely perfect. The Ninth Rain sadly didn't jive for me for the most part, even though I loved the plot right up until the end. Things felt strangely sedate, tension was missing and Tormalin irritated the crap out of me besides. I've read a couple side-splitting excerpts from Gideon the Ninth, I'm hoping to give it a shot sometime early next year. And I have my eye on Grace Draven as well, specifically Radiance.

[@srose97]

Thank you for the reccs! I have Thornhedge on audio; excited to start it soon! ❤️

[@ghoul4692]

I'm halfway through The Book That Broke the World and nearly done with The Poison Song and both of these series have had me gripped this year

[@lightlegion_]

It was a delight to meet you!

[@asiangsus]

okay i read ‘the ninth rain’ by jen williams from your previous recommendations and i can confirm the romance, and the whole book in general, is EVERYTHINGGG 🫠 it was a perfect distraction from the intense plot lines and didn’t take away from the whole experience 🫶🏻

[@luciaespanaparra2112]

Who are the characters involved in the romance??

[@chickwit2575]

Radiance by Grace Draven is one of my favourite romantasies

[@oliviacoleman3035]

While you were giving your other explanations of why you put these books on your list, I really thought “huh? I would put Gideon in the ninth on this list even if its also super gut wrenching” then you put it in your list 😂

[@koirena]

thanks, there were some I didn't know! Will check them out

[@iskanderium]

So much good stuff! Thanks a lot! :)

[@mzizHatake]

I’m exactly the same. I’m always on a quest to find these two things in a book. And they either have one or the other or both are terrible haha.

[@sophie4773]

This is everything i need in my life!

[@nissasbookcorner]

NEED to read the book that wouldn’t burn and gideon the ninth ASAP

[@sakurahan91]

My favourite romantasy is The All Souls series by Deborah Harkness!!!

[@caitlinl2750]

I’ve read all but dragon unleashed!

[@lindakirste4540]

Do you know why fabtasy romance in YA works better for you (and me and many others)? Because getting lost in or focussing on the smutty side of things is simply not an option 😅

[@gemmab3715]

The Book that Wouldn't Burn and The Book that Broke the World are among my favourite books of 2024. Sadly Gideon the Ninth is at the other end of the scale... 📚

[@lesyah.2775]

you have a beautiful name

[@changnesia1044]

No A study in drowning? Loved that!

[@catsandbats77]

Such a fantastic book with a great romance in it.

[@asiangsus]

you know i LOVE a yearner ✨ grace draven it is 🪻

[@wesleyrodgers886]

Anyone read books by Deborah Lewis?.(romance). Copies you don't want?. The wind at winters end. Kirkwood fires. The eve of the hound. Voices out of time.

[@basileyas]

❤❤❤

[@CoolDudeprofile]

Could you create a new video on recommending lots of easy to read books for teenagers under age of 18 and for new adults seperately? The themes - travel/adventure, social life/world, understanding society by reading someone's life (like Malala Yousafzai), Books on life of women (like Little women) You could also include books about love that are suitable for readers of under 18. And must include lots of exciting suggestions of top fantasy stories for this winter by which they experience new world and enjoy being there, which gives them vibes like Harry potter

[@SilverstreamPJ28]

Extra early! ❤

Hey Regan! I absolutely loved your video on fantasy books with great romance! As a big fan of the "Peruse Project," I appreciate your insightful recommendations and the amazing community you've built. I wanted to share my new book, "Courage to Leap & Market: An Author's Guide to Market Your Book," which I think could resonate with your audience of aspiring authors and book lovers. I've had success with my previous book "Courage to Leap & Lead... Redefining Failure Into Success", which was a bestseller in multiple categories in Amazon, and I’d love to offer you an advance copy for review. If you're interested, I’d be open to discussing collaboration ideas-like featuring it in your content or maybe even a giveaway for your followers. Thanks for considering this! Looking forward to seeing more of your fantastic content! Best, CB Bowman

People spend years struggling with money, but Hidden Manifestation shows exactly what’s been holding you back. It’s the kind of book that changes everything.
