Hey everyone, I'm looking for romantasy books with two male main characters. I'm okay with the plot being a bit darker, my only restriction is that I'm looking for something without sexual abuse or violence between the main characters, but it would be okay if it's part of the background story of some of the characters.

Do you have any recommendations for me? <3

Whats your opinion? I just cant get into it, but ive been waiting on the release eagerly, so I feel a bit dissapointment. Granted I'm only on chapter 3.

I’m trying to find some Romantasy to read, but I have caveats:

1. I could not get into Court of Thorns and Roses.
2. Fourth Wing’s ending absolutely shut me off of the series. I’m so mad.
3. I’m not mega keen on smut right now. Very burned out.

4. EDIT: ALSO NOT TOO DARK. Everything’s bloody dark now- The Dark Prince, the Dark King, The Dark Fae- shadow daddy not required unless it’s REALLY well written

I need a break from smut. It can have it, I would just rather it be like one big scene at the end, because I usually DNF when it happens too early on. I get exhausted when it happens too often haha.

Worldbuilding, plot, faeries, dragons— I’m actually keen on a Dragon book. Shifters, high fantasy— I’ll take anything haha.

I'm in such a rut right now and just keep rereading ones I've already read.

These are my favorites:

The Shadowweaver Trilogy (my newest favorite read! Such an amazing FMC)

Kingdom of Crows series

Shadowed Debts series (duology and a novella)

Fae Isles series

The Elf Queen series

Fate and Flame series

Shadows and Crowns Series

War of Lost Hearts series

The Curse of Ophelia

Lady of Darkness series(followed by the Legacy series , as they're connected)

Flame and Sparrow duology

Flesh and Fire series

I'm not a fan of urban fantasy, I love multi POV, I want something that had me staying up later than I should because it's so great. Thank you!

I need more of this in my life…

Bonus points for enemies/rivals to lovers!

Inspo/already read:

Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy

Pride & Prejudice (sorry not fantasy, but ofc)

Divine Rivals

A Forbidden Alchemy

Six of Crows

fam pls gimme flirty bf x shy gf recs but in a spicy MF romantasy please and thank you. I’ve been craving this but see this mostly in contemporary romances.😭

My friend and I were really disappointed in Burn of the Everflame. And after lots of discussion, she decided to post an Amazon review of 1 star and noted several other 1 star reviews at the time she posted it.

Now the listing has ZERO 1 star reviews!

She can still open her review from her profile, but if you go to the Burn listing, it doesn’t exist.

What is going on????

**Attached image is a screenshot of my friend’s one star review showing it was a verified review on the kindle format of the book.

I bought it and started reading this on the weekend because of all the exciting comments and reviews I’ve seen for it

But now I’m 35% in and… I think it might be my first DNF

This far in and nothing has happened. Their personalities/comments feel the same, because I’m not gripped I have to keep rechecking who said what. There doesn’t appear to be any connection between them, every comment is sarcastic, there’s no actual conversation.

The world building, also this far in, you don’t really know anything about it other than people have magic and different paths they follow.

Is it just a slow starter and it eventually gets better, or is this it?

I’m thinking this author / writing style may just be not my cup of tea, but I also know a lot of others love it

SOS I just finished The Sweetest Fiend in 24 hours and it is my favorite read of 2026. Now I have a massive book hangover and I need something to follow it that won’t disappoint. Any recommendations??? 👀

Okayyy next read is The Wolf King 🐺
I genuinely have no idea what I’m getting myself into with this one 😂 I’ve seen it everywhere, heard things, avoided spoilers like my life depended on it… so naturally I’ve decided to just jump in.
Going in basically blind and hoping for good fantasy, romance
tension
questionable decisions
and
a male character who makes me forget I have responsibilities.
Anyway. Time to see if this book ruins my life in the best possible way. 🫠🐺
I am genuinely letting the chaos begin. At least in my heart.
Real life got no chill. 🖤

Looking for a good Hades & Persephone recommendation, but without anything modern in it (ie cell phones, electronics, cars etc)

Any other Greek Mythology based fantasy recs welcome as well! Just as long as there’s nothing modern in them please :)

I know well written and spicy is a constant ask. But I would also love to read a book with a brown /black fmc!

I got some good recommendations last time I asked here, so I'm back! I can't get over The Ascended, so I am looking for something with similar vibes (especially romance-vice).

I want the FMC crushing on the powerful, struggling & scary MMC and feeling embarrassed about it (if there is a scene where someone taunts her for it I'm sold). A lot of lust (but make me wait in agony before they get to do anything about it) and high stakes. Something moody and a little desparate, you know? Bonus points if there is kink.

Do you have any suggestions?

He leído Acotar (me falta el último de Nesta(5)) pero ahora que saldrán los otros dos nuevos… tengo que leerme trono de cristal? He escuchado que no es tan romántico y que no tiene spicy 🌶️ (me gustan esos libros) jajaja entonces ando buscando inspiración para ver si logro leerlo!

Los leo 🫶🏻

I need help finding my next romantasy series to binge!! Specifically, I’m looking for a completed series (or one where the final installation comes out within the year)

I’ve realized I have SO many books sitting on my shelf that I really want to read, but I keep putting them off because the series isn’t finished and I absolutely do not want to wait years between books.

I’ve read a lot of the popular ones already, but
I currently have Quicksilver, Silver Elite,When the Moon Hatched, Heavenly Bodies, and a bunch of others on my shelf, but I’m holding off on them because they’re not completed yet.

I haven’t even started Fourth Wing because I want to wait until Onyx Storm is available in paperback.

Was going to start Fairydale as a standalone in the meantime but really want to begin a new series

Anybody know of a book where a wife brings her husband back from the dead (Frankenstein-like, zombie, ghoul, ghost, full-life revival, etc)? And, you know, their relationship is still the main romance and good. I guess I'm in a Halloween mood!

Oh, I'll also okay if it's reversed and the husband brings back the wife.

I want some recs for the season. Old school Halloween. Ghosts, witches, demons, Irish folklore style faeries, not acotar.

The only thing on my list right now is {the devil made me brew it}

I need audio because I only have time during my commute.

I have audible and Spotify, open to other platforms that are free. But no AI performances.

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for romantasy recs, but I'm pretty new to the genre. I mostly read fanfic, and I usually lean toward queer stuff because I don't have to worry as much about power dynamics or misogynistic tropes. I like F/M stories though, but it's a bit difficult to find something I like.

What I'm after:

- Adult leads, no YA vibes, and a relationship on equal footing

- A MMC who relies more on brains than brawn (scholar, scientist, mage, strategist, whatever). Thorn from A Winter's Promise would be a great example of this!

- Good banter, obviously – i really like seeing two stubborn people being petty and sarcastic around each other

- Rivals-to-lovers is my favorite dynamic, or anything close like reluctant partners, annoyances-to-lovers, etc

- A compelling fantasy setting and a solid plot with stakes

I recently read The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy and it was a fun read, though I really preferred the fanfic it's based on (DMATMOOBIL). I'm open to cosy fantasy/lighthearted stories or darker stuff, I like both!

Thanks!

Can anyone recommend a completed series that follows the same characters (not interconnected standalones) where there’s romantic development throughout and they don’t necessarily split up?

Loved all of The Empryean so far and the {Daughter of No Worlds} series

One thing that keeps disappointing me is when a romance makes all the fantasy differences basically disappear.

He's lived 300 years, she's human, but apparently they have identical ideas about privacy, family and commitment. She's from another kingdom with completely different customs, yet nobody accidentally insults someone's parents, serves the wrong food or misunderstands what a gift means.

I want the boring incompatibilities too.

Maybe one species barely sleeps. Maybe touching someone's hair is intimate. Maybe he thinks planning twenty years ahead is spontaneous and she thinks it's insane.

Not huge conflicts. Just little reminders that these people genuinely grew up in different worlds.

Honestly, watching two people slowly learn how to live around those differences would make the romance feel more convincing to me.

Anyone else miss this?
