Ones I really enjoyed in the romance department are The lunar chronicles, winners curse trilogy obviously (which was just about right for me), Caraval, Shannon Hale’s series, cruel beauty…
Ones I didn’t like were wintersong (lol all I could imagine was the secretary from Mean Girls writing her steamy scenes), Sarah j maas…just scenes that are over the top or happen too soon in the story
No, not really. It’s in a different kingdom and if the other characters are mentioned it’s more like being referred to as “the King and Queen of this land over here…”
Tricia Coan do I have to read the whole series or maybe just pick up the one I prefer, I mean are these books completing one another or they are standalone reads ?
Kirsten Osburne (may not have her name spelled correctly) writes medieval and westerns with lots of sweet, heated kisses and nothing else. She does do after the couple is married love scenes in some books. But i’m sure they’re not the over the top type.
@Tricia usually it’s just cringey for me! Lol I like reading the romance and love and mushy stuff, if I want more I’ll just get the real thing from the hubs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Do I have to read the whole series or maybe just pick up the one I prefer, I mean are these books completing one another or they are just standalone reads ?!
An old favorite of mine is The Mediator series by Meg Cabot. And Vampire Academy and Bloodlines by Richelle Mead. They’re both really great with the romances.
You mean “fade to black” or assumed sex or none at all?
Hmm either one
@Bridget what have you read already? Just getting an idea of what you’ve tried

Ooo thanks Tricia! Those are all on my tbr, good to know there’s some good romance in them
3rd book has no romance not sure why
@Bridget
@Tricia I couldn’t do the wish granter but I might try again then read the last one
@Cari Traitor Prince might be my favorite
@Tricia lol maybe I’ll just go straight to that then ? are they connected storyline wise? Do I HAVE to read wish granter?
No, not really. It’s in a different kingdom and if the other characters are mentioned it’s more like being referred to as “the King and Queen of this land over here…”
Awesome! Then I’ll try it but no worries lol
Prince of wolves gets kinda sexy
@Filinsky
Tricia Coan do I have to read the whole series or maybe just pick up the one I prefer, I mean are these books completing one another or they are standalone reads ?
this one
@Filinsky that’s a series.
Rachel Marks is really good about putting lots of heat into books without graphic sex. There’s fade to Black scenes.
Kirsten Osburne (may not have her name spelled correctly) writes medieval and westerns with lots of sweet, heated kisses and nothing else. She does do after the couple is married love scenes in some books. But i’m sure they’re not the over the top type.
The witching hour
Anne rice wrote erotic under the names Anne Rapling and A. N. Roquelaure back then.
Her early Witching Hour, Taltos, Lasher books were naughty
Lol sort of the opposite of what I’m looking for ?
I hear ya @Bridget sometimes I think I want the heat and I get it and I’m like “that was just too much”. My imagination is 200x better ?
@Bridget
Ah.. so is that it, you just want to imagine the sexy bits?
*Shrug* to each their own, I guess
i will FLING this man into the SUN
@Matthew wtf is wrong with you?
Still.. the witching hour is a great series and the sexy bits are very… Innocuous.
She doesn’t give details, but alludes to the sexy
@Tricia usually it’s just cringey for me! Lol I like reading the romance and love and mushy stuff, if I want more I’ll just get the real thing from the hubs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And I don’t mean that in a judgey way..just explaining my side. Not that I owe that sort of explanation to anyone *cough cough*
I’m actually going to read the Witching Hour because it fills a spot on my Popsugar Reading Challenge.
@Tricia it’s a very good series.
Still to this day, lasher and Taltos are two of my favorite books.. s d I read them when I was 15.
Witching hour is meh…
It’s very slow and often boring.. but it lays SO MUCH foundation for the rest of her books that it is a Must Read.
@Matthew Witching Hour has the dubious honor of being published the year I graduated so it filled an important spot on my challenge
Do I have to read the whole series or maybe just pick up the one I prefer, I mean are these books completing one another or they are just standalone reads ?!
Filinsky Neko Chan you really need to read them all, in order.
The Mayfair witches is a very long and detailed storyline.
You couldn’t possibly appreciate how well written the books are without the context of the previous books
@Matthew you’ve got a point there .
Shatter me has some sexy fade to black parts.
An old favorite of mine is The Mediator series by Meg Cabot. And Vampire Academy and Bloodlines by Richelle Mead. They’re both really great with the romances.
Let’s keep the discussion clean guys… each to his own but the discussion should stay PG-13 at the very least
I second Shatter Me. Also Alice in Zombieland
The Blue Diamond Box
Following ?
F
following?- I also love a good romance that doesn’t make me feel like I’m cheating on my husband. ?
THANK YOU hahaha
what’s the fun in that? lol just kidding! 😉
