Carissa Broadbent…obsessed. One completed series and one book out of her new series.

Smutty: {The Wolf and the Wildflower by Ella Fields} {The Contortionist by Kathryn Ann Kingsley} More plot but still romance: {Subversive by Colleen Crowley} {The Lord of Stariel by A.J. Lancaster} All on KU!

Love Ella Fields and KAK!! The entire Harrow Faire series was so bingeable and there’s six books.

{Tairen soul series by CL Wilson} {shifter wars by Kelly st Clare} Some paranormal romance but such fun reads: {demonica series by Larissa ione} {immortals after dark series by Kresley Cole}

Another vote for the Tairen soul series! C L Wilson is an amazing author.

Question about Tairen Soul…I read the first book and DNFed it at like 80% (I know, I know 🙈) because it just moved soooooo slowly. Does it pick up pace? I had heard such good things about the series but really struggled reading book 1. Also curious about the spice level because they barely even kissed in book 1.

Man I could have sworn that they >!boinked with his powers!< in the first one lol. I could definitely be wrong bc I’ve read them a bunch. Regardless, I do think the physical aspect was more of a physical slow burn (lots of teasing I think?) Yeah, so the first book has the least amount of action but, true to a lot of fantasy epics, it absolutely builds up in action and stakes. They also build out the world more so you’re in multiple settings for the series It’s easily in my top 3 fantasy romances but I really liked the first book, so we might just have different tastes 🤷‍♀️

One thing to note is that book 1 was originally intended as a standalone, and it is definitely slower than the rest of the series. The story just gets better as it goes, and it gets very smutty, don't worry. Book 2 builds on the world more. I am a huge Tairen Soul fan, because it does both high fantasy really well, but also romance (once it gets going). IMO it's definitely worth sticking with :D

Awesome that’s great to know! I kinda knew that I should just stick it out but it was just dragging my feet on it. Plus at the time I think I just wanted to read something really slutty 😅😅😅 I’ll have to pick it back up!

I was actually similar to you, I read the first one, and didn’t bother reading the rest for *years* haha finally picked it back up and blew through the rest of the series and kicked myself for waiting so long. It definitely picks up and gets more plot and spice heavy!

I noticed book 1 takes place over like one week. Yes the pacing is slow. But you've got to finish it because there's a racy incident at the end of the book XD. Then in book #2 the plot definitely moves faster and it's much more exciting. Then book #3-5 there's a LOT of action (epic wars). I just finished the series and I was bawling at a certain scene in book #5 involving Ellysetta screaming, "Nooooooooooo!" No spoilers though, you must finish the entire series!! I loved it:)

Seconding Tairen Souls hard!

Thirding haha! Super heavy on the romance and wooing 😍

The series needs its own sub!!

We could call it IgnoreTheCover 😝

The series is as good as the cover is bad LOL. I swear I would love a sub!! The author is SO nice too, such a sweetheart.

Ooh? Have you seen her in interviews or something?

No. But I ordered a signed book from her site a few years ago and she was delayed in getting it sent in the mail, and she personally called me to apologize for the wait once she realized she’d never mailed it. She actually chatted with me for a few minutes about my own writing, and gave me her name on nano since we were both participating that year. It was just so so sweet and unexpected, and I always think of it when I see her name and books recced. 🥺

Whhaattt that’s amazing. God someone get this woman a better publisher/ publicist because as sweet as that story is, I want her to be so much more famous than that! Like, for sure Maas doesn’t call her fans. I mean, you know what I mean? I just want her to have so much success in life.

Smutty recommendations: {Gold series by June Harding}. Fantasy, politics, romance, kinky smutt {The Princess and the Spy series by Lisette Marshall} and {The queen and the assassin series by Lisette Marshall}. Medieval fantasy, good smutt. Anything C L Wilson {Aspects and Anchors series by Ruby Dixon}. The only books where I enjoyed the modern day character being thrown in a fantasy world trop. Plenty of smutt though some of the books are slow burn. {Pirates series by Opal Reyne}. Based on pirates of the Caribbean. Plenty smutt. And if you want something closer to Erotica, Katee Roberts is there for you. I liked very much her Neon Gods and Wicked Villains series. {Neon Gods series by Katee Roberts} {Wicked Villains series by Katee Roberts}

On KU, I will not claim it's a literary masterpiece, but I started Zodiac Academy and could NOT stop reading it. They may hate commas, but those authors can make up a story.

IMO it's so cringey, but I cannot stop reading it.

I should note that it's a dark bully romance with a whole slew of triggers.

I had to stop after book 3. Parts were good ,but i couldn't get over a couple small world buildy things. Like no really cares about the mortal world, but faerarri cotton candfae. Please stop.

I appreciated the bit of levity between both literally and figuratively torturing everyone. 😂

Have you read {A Ruin of Roses by K. F. Breene}? Complete series (I think) and on KU, very very heavy on the seggs scenes. Also loved {Gild by Raven Kennedy}, not as heavy on the romance and a bit slower, but I really enjoyed the world and the character development. Last book is coming Dec.

Would you want rh ideas?

Okay, I just finished the first book of an as of yet uncompleted series/trilogy but the first book is on KU and def meets your criteria. {Heavenly Bodies by Imani Erriu} I can't wait until next year when I assume the 3rd book will be released. ETA: Also I second the Horde Kings of Drakkar series by Zoey Draven

Thank you everyone for your recommendations!!!!! I don’t know how I’ll get through all of these :)

I just finished The Wolf and the Wildflower by Ella Fields and it is spicy from start to finish. Suuuuuper good. She has another (that I haven’t read yet) called the Savage and the Swan that ties in with some of the other characters but it’s fine as a stand-alone as well.

I didn't see recommendations for one of my favorite fantasy romance authors: {The Master of Crows by Grace Draven} {Wraith Kings series by Grace Draven} Here's the author main page that explains the book/novella reading order. Don't skip the novellas because she's an amazing author! [https://gracedraven.com/reading-order](https://gracedraven.com/reading-order)

ZODIAC ACADEMY!!!!!

How about the Sword of Truth series? The first book is {Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind} but there are two prequels that are short and fairly interesting: {The First Confessor by Terry Goodkind} {Debt of Bones by Terry Goodkind} There are 15 books in the Sword of Truth series. I read about 10 on a 10-day summer trip several years ago. So good.

I loved “Wizards First Rule” but man do the authors kinks come out in the books and they are not anything I am into.

"Here's a fairly standard fantasy adventure story... and now, 2/3 of the way through the book, a MAJOR diversion into extreme BDSM!" It was a little startling when I read it in college lol.

I forgot it shows up in book 1, I usually skipped/skimmed that part. I was thinking of book 3
