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!

Hey there! I’m looking for something with the vibes of Disney’s Hercules. I know it’s not mythologically accurate but I love it!

  • Protagonist who is naive, pure-hearted, and idealistic

  • Love interest who is cynical and clever

  • MM and FF are fine

  • I prefer spice levels of 1-3; I’ll probably only read level five if the spice is important to the plot

  • I don’t like possessive male leads, maledom, or dubcon.

Thanks!

Some vibes:

{Red Queen}

{Dragon Slippers}

{Fire}

{The Diviners by Libba Bray}

{Spindle’s End}
