🖤 Dark Fantasy Romance
For readers who like their romance with shadows, danger, and morally gray characters. Dark fantasy blends romance with high stakes, curses, ancient power, and characters who may or may not be monsters. Perfect for fans of forbidden desire, dark lords, and slow-burns where trust is earned the hard way.
🔥 Enemies to Lovers
There’s nothing quite like the slow-burning tension of two enemies forced to work together—or forced to share a bed in a magical quest. Expect bickering, banter, betrayal, and the most satisfying emotional payoff when enemies become soulmates.
🧚 Fae Fantasy Romance
If you love magical bargains, beautiful fae royalty, and danger cloaked in charm, this one’s for you. Fae fantasy romance delivers otherworldly kingdoms, wicked courts, and impossible choices wrapped in enchantment and seduction.
🏰 High Fantasy Romance
Epic quests, magical lands, ancient prophecies—and a love story powerful enough to change the fate of kingdoms. High fantasy romance combines the world-building of fantasy with the emotional intensity of romance. Great for readers who want dragons *and* desire.
🦇 Paranormal Romance
Vampires, werewolves, demons, and more—paranormal romance thrives where the supernatural meets steamy romance. These books deliver danger, seduction, and a pulse-pounding blend of fantasy and heat.
🔮 Witch & Magic Romance
Magic spells, ancient bloodlines, enchanted objects—witchy romance is full of wonder and power. Whether the witch is soft-hearted or sharp-tongued, this trope blends mystical worlds with powerful, magical chemistry.
