I was listening to this as I did something else. She started talking about the “wide shoes” trope and I’m like seriously? people want a romance with someone who wears wide shoes?!? Finally figured out it was “why choose” and not “wide shoes”.

[@sleepyanna8188]

😂 to funny !

[@MyRomanceHasNoLimits]

The plot twists of a king so cold were good!!!

[@hayley.clough]

Lady of Darkness is also so good for the ‘found family’ trope! I would say for the ‘Love Triangle’ trope, Lightlark.

[@jleelee71]

I really enjoy when you put up images of books . Hard for me to find the books with good reads.

[@kindlesandcandles]

Oooh for love triangle - Road of Bones was great! I was like wait, what is going on? Why am I kind of liking both of these men? It’s a Viking inspired fantasy romance with a found family trope and it’s just so good ❤

[@aharrison9904]

And my tbr just got even bigger, lol! 🤦‍♀️🤣

[@liezllovesbooks]

I really like the third book in the Spiders Mate trilogy better than the second book

[@woolhaze]

I don't think I've seen you mention this series before, but the Five Crowns of Okrith hits a few of these tropes too, since the series focuses on different main character couples across 5 books. Notably it has a lost heir (book 1) and rejected fated mates (book 5). It also has disability rep with an autistic MC (book 4) and an MC who lost a leg in an accident (book 5). It's LGBTQ+ and diverse in a way that I have not seen in any other romantasy series.

[@AmandasBooktopia]

I loved Before I Let Go! I still need to read the second book. But I am very excited for the movie. I bet the movie will be great. I’ve had A King So Cold on my wish list for a while now. I may have to pick it up in August. It sounds so good. I would love to see more book recs of fantasy romance that no one is talking about. I know you did a video of underrated books before but I would love to see you do more of it. I’m always looking for more super underrated book recs.

[@annadivergent2439]

I really think you'd love "Bones" by K.L. Speer! Just based on your taste and the videos I've seen so far :)

[@AlexandraFreeman-z6s]

City of God and Monsters is also a great caretaker fantasy romance book. Highly recommend!

[@athenademeo1225]

I know you're not a fan of workplace romance, but I loved The Fake Mate by Lana Ferguson. Tropes: workplace romance and fake dating

[@roczannepretoruis7430]

If you like Zodiac academy for Fated mates, then you will love Dragon Marked. Similar but better.

[@metalcandycanechild]

Hey Jess do you have any recs for body guard romance? Fantasy or historical preferably 🥰

[@Kananjain206]

I didn't even know "sharp object near body" trope even existed 😳

[@nerdynicky91]

I love these videos for book recs. Do you have any recs for brother's best friend?

[@HonestFiction]

Yes! 1) Inked in Lies by Giana Darling 2) Wild Love by Elsie Silver 3) Taming 7 by Chloe Walsh

[@ms.annaong]

My second chance romance trifecta are : Before I Let Go. For Lucy. And FORGET ME NOT by QB Tyler. All were chef’s kiss perfect My favorite Nina G Jones is Take Me with You (captor/ captive. Unhinged / morally grey hero)

[@HonestFiction]

Ahh I’ve been waiting for Take Me with You to come out via audio since it released, the story sounds so good!

[@user-rp8ql6hw7h]

Is there a trope that has long lost friends reunite leading to romance?

[@Nance1964]

Do you have to read the Shadow and Bone series before the Six of Crows duology, or can you just read it on its own?

[@HonestFiction]

You can read it on its own! I’ve had a lot of friends read the duology without ever reading Shadow & Bone and they still rated it 5 stars!

[@Nance1964]

@@HonestFiction Oh okay, thank you!

[@blackkittyknits5164]

What is "omegaverse"? 🤔

[@HonestFiction]

I had no idea how to define it so I looked up the Wikipedia definition 😅: “Omegaverse, also known as A/B/O (an abbreviation for "alpha/beta/omega"), is a subgenre of speculative fiction: the premise is that a dominance hierarchy exists in humans, which are divided into dominant "alphas", neutral "betas", and submissive "omegas".[1] This hierarchy determines how people interact with one another in romantic context. * I hope that made sense, I still don’t fully understand it lol
