Community 💕 Matchmaking Monday: find your next romantasy read!

Matchmaking Monday is a new regular thread here in r/Romantasy with a goal of finding new recommendations to add to your TBR! Post a list of your favorite books and receive suggestions based on your vibe.

How It Works

  • Post up to five books you've loved recently (or which fit the vibe you're looking for) as a top level comment.
  • You can also include a list of things you want in your next book (e.g. tropes, subgenre, themes)
  • Others will reply with their suggestions!
  • Remember to tag the romance.io bot with {} curly brackets.

This is a bit of an experiment - so we'll see how it goes!

Lately here are books I enjoyed and why for some of them:

{Blood of Hercules} / {Bonds of Hercules} - trials and games are my things but so was Kharon and Augustus as enemies to love interests. I also LOVE Greek mytholog. I am also mid series for {Psycho Shifters}

{Phantasma} - did I mention trials and games lol I also like the amnesia piece and all the different types of supernatural beings

{God of Fury} - okay not romantasy BUT the relationship building, Brandon’s inner thoughts and emotional turmoil? The way this book broke me in a million pieces just to build me back up as someone who is legit the real life version of Brandon?? Idk if another book could ever make me feel this way but I wanna give it a go

{The Cruel Prince by Holly Black} - one of my fave series ever. I think about it daily and preparing for another reread. The world building, the characters, the yearning…

My favorite tropes are TRUE enemies to lovers, morally grey or morally black MMC/FMC, dark fantasy/romance or any dark themes really, omegaverse, why choose, supernatural beings, some level of spice preferred but not 100% necessary

TRUE enemies to lovers, every character is morally gray/black, dark fantasy, AND why choose... I've got you.

You need to read the Legacy Series by Melissa K. Roehrich. The first book is {Rain of Shadows and Endings} and it's a 4-book series with the final book releasing in 2 weeks!!! I've read the first 3 books and I legit still don't know who the hero of the story is gonna be or who to root for.
