I love all things Fantasy and Romance, so Romantic Fantasy is my favorite genre (both to read and to write)! The possibilities in the genre are truly endless. There are so many worlds and settings to explore. Do you prefer High Fantasy or Urban? Paranormal or Thriller? There’s a story for every taste, as long as there are strong romantic and fantastical elements. But the beauty of Romantic Fantasy is that it’s not all about the romance. It’s a healthy mix of complex characters, fast-paced plots, and of course, swoon-worthy romances. I hope you will enjoy these books as much as I did!
This book has all you can ask for: A great story, likeable characters, and an enemies-to-lovers romance that will make you swoon. The French setting was a refreshing take, and both the romance and the plot moved in a fluid way. The characters were layered and the story kept me on the edge of my seat.

This Dystopian Romance will make you swoon. The plot and characters are *chef’s kiss*. Gripping from beginning to the end. The entire series revolves around different horsemen and different characters, so you’ll always find a fresh new story, with different elements, too. Although this is a Dystopian Romance, it has loads of fantastical elements.
They came to earth-Pestilence, War, Famine, Death-four horsemen riding their screaming steeds, racing to the corners of the world. Four horsemen with the power to destroy all of humanity. They came to earth, and they came to end us all.
When Pestilence comes for Sara Burn's town, one thing is certain: everyone she knows and loves is marked for death. Unless, of course, the angelic-looking horseman is stopped, which is exactly what Sara has in mind when she shoots the unholy beast off his steed.
Too bad no one told her Pestilence can't be killed.
This one is already turning into a classic, so there isn’t much to say about it other than give it a go. You will find romance, a fantastic world, and drop-dead-gorgeous book-boyfriends with bat-like wings that will send your heart racing. Book 2 is even better than book 1, which is an amazing feat!

This book is so different from what you normally find in the genre, but it still hits the tropes that make me love Romantic Fantasy. We start with a main character who is actually a villain, and their decisions can be sometimes morally grey. Definitely a must read.

My favorite fantasy novels tend to be rather complex. Winding plotlines, mysteriously interconnected characters, whimsical settings, and intricate, thoughtful worldbuilding combine to create immersive stories that stick in the mind like overworn folklore. Time travel or interworld travel lend additional layers of intrigue and mystery, forcing the inescapable contemplation of a more thrilling, alternate reality. And if it’s all packaged in artful, breathtaking prose that breeds full-color images, audible noises, indelible flavors, nose-crumpling odors, and tangible textures, I will happily lose myself in the pages, truly forgetting about the strictures of everyday life… at least until I get hungry and remember I need to consume more than books to survive.
