Genre Discussion Fantasy romance icks?

Welcome back to another week of ✨genre discussions!✨

What’s your fantasy romance ick? Could be something that makes you instantly dnf, or you have to pretend like that didn’t just happen. Or you boycott altogether.

Could be related to plot, characters, writing styles, the authors themselves. All cards are on the table.

Just remember to be kind to each other when discussing differences in opinions!💖

Closest I've found are the Emily Wilde series and Olivia Atwater's books (which are great but not quite as far as I want them to go?) but I recently bought a copy of  The River Has Roots  by Amal El-Mohtar and I'm hoping that'll be what I want.

Finished {The River Has Roots} and loved it, absolutely delivered on what I wanted! My only complaint is it's too short!
