Historical and Classic Romance
These classic, cozy historical romances are some of my favorites to sink my teeth into, with their beautiful prose, slow burn romance and magical elements.
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
If you love a blend of historical fiction with a sprinkle of fantasy, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab is a must-read. Set in 1700s France, it follows Addie, a woman cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets after making a deal for immortality. Atmospheric and beautifully written, this story is as romantic as it gets.
The Song of Achilles
For those who don’t mind a good cry, The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller is an unforgettable tale of love and heartbreak. It reimagines the story of the Greek hero Achilles and his companion Patroclus, with stunning prose and deeply emotional moments.
Sense and Sensibility
Jane Austen fans, rejoice! Sense and Sensibility is a classic Regency-era romance about two sisters navigating love and societal expectations. One is practical, while the other is more impulsive, creating a dynamic exploration of love and marriage.
Pride and Prejudice
Arguably Austen’s most famous work, Pride and Prejudice introduces us to Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy in a quintessential tale of misunderstandings, slow-burn romance, and witty dialogue.
Persuasion
If you’re looking for Austen’s most romantic work, Persuasion delivers. Following a spinster protagonist at age 27, it’s a second-chance love story filled with poignant moments and an unforgettable love letter.
Contemporary Romance
In this roundup, you’ll find a mix of feel-good contemporary romance and dark, spicy romances inspired by some of your favorite classic fairytales.

Romantasy, booktok’s favorite genre, is the blend of fantasy and romance. From vampire romances to deadly magical trials, there’s plenty of yearning and romance in the pages!
Crowns of Nyaxia Series
The Crowns of Nyaxia series by Carissa Broadbent is a gripping fantasy romance with rich world-building. For a quick but equally romantic read, check out Six Scorched Roses, a novella about a girl striking a deal with a vampire.
Slaying the Vampire Conqueror
Slaying the Vampire Conqueror is a standalone full-length novel in the series, offering dark vampire romance vibes perfect for Valentine’s Day.
Blood of Hercules
Blood of Hercules combines Greek mythology and dark fantasy romance. It’s a gender-bent retelling of Hercules that’s trope-heavy but intriguing for mythology fans.
