One of my newest hobbies is readying spicy fantasy romance books and collecting them. If your mind is just as filthy as mine, then buck the fuck up pork chop because we’re going balls deep… Once you fall into this spicy book rabbit hole, good luck trying to get out.
First and foremost, I’m a travel blogger who is an English major and literature nerd. I will travel to places because my favorite steamy fantasy romance books took place there. Books can take us to new places, new lands, and even teach us a thing or two about life.
I recommend reading these spicy books with a glass of wine, on your Kindle Oasis, preferably in your room in the evening. Side effects of these best romantic fantasy novels include wondering why your significant other can’t be a hot high lord and wet panties. This is a list full of spicy romance books for adults.

1. Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros
This is the book that literally took BookTok by storm and is now a worldwide phenomenon. Amazon Prime confirmed we’re getting a Fourth Wing TV series! I’m so excited to see one of my favorite spicy fantasy romance books come to life. To be fair, I think people are ready for dragon fantasy series since Game of Thrones did so well.
Fourth Wing follows twenty year old Violet Sorrengail who suffers with a chronic illness. She believed she would enter the scribe quadrant and live a quiet life among the books. The commanding general (who also happens to be her mother) has ordered her to join the dangerous Dragon Rider’s Quadrant…
Death is around every corner and even more so because she’s the smallest and most fragile. With nothing but her sharp mind, Violet must navigate the deadly politics and training at Basgiath War College. She’s got more enemies than she can count due to her mother… The scariest one being Xiaden Riorsen who wants her dead.
This is an enemies to lovers book I just could not put down! You’re not gonna wanna miss Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros.
2. Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros
The best spicy fantasy books always come with a sequel… And now I can’t look at a dais without blushing. Violet has made it through the first year of Basgiath. If you think she’s in the clear… She’s not. Our heroine must cling onto her humanity after the death of a precious friend and the lies that caused it.
Year two at Basgiath is designed to stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. We then meet the vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to make Violet’s life a living hell. And to try to make her betray the man she loves.
Even though Violet’s body is weaker, she’s there to remind leadership of her will of iron… And most importantly that dragon riders make their own rules. Read Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros here.
3. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
This book had me hooked from the get go and is one of my favorite spicy fae books. I had been seeing it all over Spicy Booktok so I decided to give it a whirl. You may be wondering… Is a Court of Thorns and Roses spicy?
This should be at the top of your list of spicy books to read. A Court of Thorns and Roses follows Feyre Archeron whose survival and that of her family depend on her ability to hunt. On the brink of starvation, Feyre spots a deer and an abnormally large wolf in the forest. Believing the wolf to be a faerie, Feyre uses a special ash arrow to kill it with a heart full of hatred.
After killing the wolf, she is taken by a mysterious faerie into a world of magic and horror. Her captor is actually a handsome faerie lord with piercing green eyes and a mask. Feyre’s feelings of hatred slowly turn to something else as she fights to save them all from an ancient curse. ACOTAR is one of the best romantic fantasy novels out there tbh.
4. A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas
In A Court of Mist and Fury, Feyre is still haunted by the terrible deeds she committed to save Prythian. During her ordeal, Feyre made a bargain under the mountain with Rhysand, the High Lord of the Night Court. After dying and being remade as high fae Feyre still struggles with the trauma. The fae world is a complex. She has to navigate complicated politics, evil, and an even greater threat than Amarantha. It’s up to Feyre to harness her gifts and decide how she wants to shape her future.
You might be wondering where the spicy is? Girl, let me tell you, Sarah J. Maas is a MASTER of building the story, the world, and the sexual tension. Let me know what’s up when you get to Chapter 55. 😉
5. A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas

While the war rages, her heart must face the greatest battle of all.
6. A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas
If you thought the previous three books were spicy, Sarah J. Maas is about to make it muy caliente in A Court of Silver Flames. This is the crown jewel of spicy booktok books. Listen to E-Girls Are Ruining My Life by Corpse Husband and Savage Ga$p. That is pretty much the tone of this book.
In the fourth ACOTAR book, Nesta is dealing with a lot of trauma. In Nesta’s eyes, Feyre isn’t the hero we’ve all come to know and love, but the villain. The eldest Archeron sister is proud, quick to anger, and slow to forgive. Nesta spends her nights in seedy taverns drowning herself in alcohol and fucking random strangers.
The only male who can truly get under Nesta’s skin is Cassian. The attraction between them is sizzling and only gets hotter by forced proximity at the House of Wind. While their romance blooms, one of the human queens of the Continent has unfinished business with Nesta. Her plans not only involve Nesta, but threaten to shatter the hard earned fragile peace.
As the book goes on, the lovers must confront their pasts and make peace with it. A Court of Silver Flames is another book I simply could not put down. It was a hard read at first since I felt no love toward Nesta. But let me tell you, only Maas can redeem a character and make you really cheer them on.
7. Crescent City House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas
At this point, this blog post should just be a magical tribute to Sarah J. Maas and her series of faerie porn. My favorite books are spicy fantasy romance books and I’m not even ashamed to admit it. Besides, who knew faeries could be so smoldering and sexy?
House of Earth and Blood follows half-fae Bryce Quinlan. Bryce has no aspirations for her future. She works a job at an antiquities store and parties with her best friends all night long. Her perfect life shatters after her best friend Danika Fendyr is murdered. After the alleged murderer goes behind bars, the murders begin again two years later.

Known as the Umbra Mortis, Hunt Athalar’s brutal skills are used to assassinate the archangel of Lunathion’s enemies.

House of Earth and Blood gives page turning adventure and mystery as well as a slow burn sexual tension. You can order the sequel House of Sky and Breath here.
8. Crescent City House of Sky and Breath by Sarah J. Maas
I thought Sarah may have outdone herself in ACOSF, but man I was wrong. This is a more modern twist on her multiverse series. Some scenes in this book had me holding a fan and clutching my nonexistent pearls while screaming, “Burning fucking Solas.”
In Crescent City House of Sky and Breath, Bryce Quinlan has made the drop. Her secret of being Starborn Fae is out. Bryce and Hunt have saved Crescent City and just want to live a quiet normal life.
The Asteri have kept their word, leaving Bryce and Hunt alone. With the rebels chipping away at the Asteri’s power, the threat the rulers pose is growing.

10. A Kingdom of Stars And Shadows by Holly Renee
A Kingdom of Stars and Shadows by Holly Rene is about a young woman named Adara who is star blessed. This book reminds me a lot of Jennifer L. Armentrout’s Blood and Ash series. So if you’re on a hangover from her books… This one is a real treat.
Adara is the starblessed who was a promised to the prince who would supposedly save the entire kingdom. She has glowing star marks all over her face and back… Which makes her the most powerful one to have ever been born. Adara is betrothed to Gavril, the crown prince of the fae kingdom. However, her heart aches for his beautiful half fae half vampire brother, Evren. This is one of those spicy romance fantasy books that will have your eyebrows lifting.
She must navigate the lies and politics and ultimately make the biggest decision of her life… Betray her heart or betray the kingdom. This is a romance fantasy series followed by A Kingdom of Blood and Betrayal, A Kingdom of Venom and Vows, and A Kingdom of Fire and Fate.
One of my favorite things to do is collect beautiful luxe editions of fantasy books with spice. I’m a subscriber and fan of everything The Bookish Box. You can also get the exclusive edition with beautiful art of A Kingdom of Stars and Shadows here.
11. From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Is from Blood and Ash spicy? Oh baby. From the first five chapters of the book, I was legit like… What did I get myself into and why can’t I stop reading this? This is one of the best romantic fantsy book series out there. We all can relate to undeniable attraction to someone we know isn’t good for us.
From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout is about Poppy Balfour. She’s a chosen maiden who has been chosen to usher in a new era. Destined never to be seen or touched, Poppy lives a lonely existence. She waits for the day she will ascend and deemed worthy by the gods. However, all Poppy wants to do is get revenge on the evil who took her family.
One night, Poppy pretty much decides she has had enough and decides to be rebellious. I’m talking the classic, “Fuck this shit I’m out” with a pair of combat boots and guns blazing. So of course the first place she visits is a shady ass tavern.
Unfortunately, Poppy’s guardian and captain of the guard comes in. One of the tavern workers (who happens to be a seer) helps Poppy by telling her to hide in an empty apartment. Enter the gorgeous Hawke, a golden-eyed guard honor bound to ensure her Ascension. He mistakes her for a random girl and ignites a fire she never knew existed.
12. A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire by Jennifer L. Armentrout
The fun continues in A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire. Poppy comes to terms with her entire life having been a lie…including the man she was falling in love with. She’s now among people who see her as a monster. What she does know is the man she brought to her bed is actually The Dark One, Prince of Atlantia. He may have taken her by force, but she vows he will never have her again.
Casteel Da’Neer is known by many names and many faces. His lies are as seductive as his touch. His truths as sensual as his bite. Poppy knows better than to trust him. Sadly, Casteel is the only idiot who can help her find her brother Ian. His world can bring her unfathomable pain and even greater pleasure. He has plans for her that could tie them together forever.
Poppy’s magical abilities to feel pain and emotion begin to grow and strengthen causing Atlantians to fear her. Dark secrets are at play and two kingdoms would do anything to keep their blood-drenched sins hidden.
13. The Crown of Gilded Bones by Jennifer L. Armentrout
In Crown of Gilded Bones, Poppy and Prince Casteel are now lovers and equals. But with all things in Poppy’s life, nothing is ever that easy. First order of business is to free Prince Casteel’s brother and find hers. (Seriously, we’ve been looking for this mother fucker for three books now.) Poppy is the Chosen, the Blessed, and the true ruler of Atlantia. In her, she carries the blood of the King of the Gods.
Sadly for Poppy, all she wants to do is revel in her love and control her own life. Never did she dream she would have to control the lives of others. Poppy must choose to forsake her birthright or become the Queen of Flesh and Fire. She must also contend with those who want to make sure the crown never sits upon her head.
If that wasn’t bad enough, the Queen of Blood and Ashes from the West has been waiting hundreds of years to fuck shit up. Casteel and Poppy must consider traveling to the Land of Gods and waking up the King himself.
14. The War of Two Queens by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Man oh man, does the spice kick it up a notch in this book. There’s nothing like a good story intertwined with intermissions of our favorite main characters taking pleasure from each other.
Nothing will stop Poppy from freeing her King and destroying everything the Blood Crown stands for. With the strength of the Primal of Life’s guards and wolven, Poppy must convince the Atlantian generals to make war her way—because there can be no retreat this time. Not if she has any hope of building a future where both kingdoms can reside in peace.
The War of Two Queens by Jennifer L. Armentrout sees a ship many online readers have wished for come to fruition and it makes me so darn happy.
15. Ruthless Villains by Marion Blackwood
When I think of a song that describes Ruthless Villains by Marion Blackwood, Darkside by Neoni comes to mind. Audrey lives in a world where magic is distributed equally. She trained her entire life to hone her rare poison magic. Society told her to give it up to the Great Current at age 18. She was pretty much like, “Fuck this shit I’m out.”
Audrey forsakes her previous life and runs away to become a dark mage. She builds a home on a plot of land which actually Callan Blackwell, another powerful dark mage… Hence starting a nasty feud.
When the heroes come remove their magic, Callan and Audrey put aside their differences. The only problem for these two is their blazing hatred soon turns into burning passion.
This steamy fantasy romance series is intended for mature readers. Callan and Audrey are completely and utterly fucking unhinged which makes the book all the more entertaining. It contains violence and sexual content. They are villains who would sacrifice the world to get what they want. Welcome to the dark side.
16. Seven Sins of Snow by Loxley Savage
This book was recommended to me by my cousin. We are both avid readers of very spicy fantasy books. Seven Sins of Snow by Loxley Savage is a very dark and twisted retelling of Snow White.
Snow often receives severe beatings and punishments from the Evil Queen who tries to sell her off to suitors. The Queen will not stop until Snow is married off or dead.
Snow begins to dream of Lurkers who satisfy her dark and wicked desires in her dreams. They tell her they want to claim her and she belongs to them. As she falls deeper and deeper into the seven sins she begins to emerge transformed.
The vampires give her the power she needs to take the Evil Queen down. Snow will not stop until she reclaims her kingdom and bathes in the blood of her stepmother. This stand alone book is DARK, but it had me sweating and clutching my wine in some parts.
17. Serpent and Dove by Shelby Mahurin
This book is classified as a young adult book, but as the series progresses it gets spicier. Serpent and Dove by Shelby Mahurin drops the reader right into the action. Louise le Blanc runs away from her coven. She takes shelter in the city of Cesarine, forsaking all magic and living off whatever she could steal. In her new home, witches like Lou are hunted, feared, and burned.
Enter handsome and sometimes insufferable Reid Diggory. This straight edge has lived his life by one principle: thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. His path was never meant to cross with Lou’s, but a compromising situation forces them into an impossible union—holy matrimony.
I truly loved the dynamic between Lou and Reid. This is definitely and enemies to lovers series where some parts had me clutching my book and squealing, “Putain!”
18. The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling
The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling is one of my favorite spicy fantasy books to read during spooky season. This stand alone novel follows a broken hearted witch.
Nine years ago, Vivienne Jones nursed her broken heart like any teenager would…with vodka, emo music, and a curse on her horrible ex-boyfriend. She hopes her harmless little hex will cause him him a bad hair day or two.

19. Moon Touched by Elizabeth Briggs
Moon Touched by Elizabeth Briggs is a Kindle Unlimited series that I also couldn’t put down. Young wolf Ayla is the outcast of the Cancer pack for being half human. When the Zodiac Wolves meet for the annual Convergence to gain their wolves and find their mate, it’s a complete disaster.

20. Fighting Destiny: The Fae Chronicles by Amelia Hutchinson
Oh my god, was this the dirtiest book I have ever read to date and I’m not mad about it. This is a book that ventures into the very dark side. Don’t read this book if throw-your-ass-on-the-bed, tear-your-clothes-off-and-leave-you-panting dominant alpha male characters aren’t your thing. This is dark, dangerous, intense, gritty, and raw.
From the get go, young witch Synthia is on a strange assignment that leads to one of the most gruesome murder mysteries she has ever encountered. She has to figure out who murdered the witches and faeries before someone else turns up dead.
She hates the fae and the Dark Prince of the Fae, Ryder is sex-on-a-stick gorgeous. They can’t trust each other and yet can’t stay away either.
21. Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri Maniscalco
This three book trilogy honestly made me feel like a child again in some of the best ways. Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri Maniscalco takes place on the island of Sicily… Which is kind of awesome because my own Nona loved to cook much like Emilia’s grandmother does… It’s honestly how Italian women of the early 1900s showed their love.
Emilia was living a happy life with her twin sister Vittoria. Knowing they were both witches and needed to keep hidden they both enjoy working at their family Trattoria. Her whole world shatters when she finds her twin sister’s murdered body with her heart ripped out.
She vows vengeance on her sister’s murderer. Emilia meets Wrath, the outlier among the seven demon brethren, always choosing duty over pleasure. When their fates collide, it’s clear this disturbing mystery will take a bewitching turn…
This is a slow burn enemies to lovers romance and I could not help but love every single interaction between Emilia and Wrath. Kingdom of the Wicked gets spicer and spicer with every book and I truly did enjoy this read.

The Orchid Throne by Jeffe Kennedy begins with Queen Euthalia of Calanthe guided by a magical orchid ring. She will do anything to keep her people and secrets safe from a batshit crazy tyrant who rules the mainland.

23. The Fiery Crown by Jeffe Kennedy
In The Fiery Crown we see our two favorite rulers, Euthalia and her consort, Conrí grow closer. Often at odds with each other, their marriage of convenience has turned into an uneasy alliance. They subscribe to ye old philosophy of keeping the fights clean and the sex dirty.

All Lia cares about is keeping Calanthe and her people safe. She refuses to sacrifice her kingdom to appease Conrí’s appetite for complete annihilation of Anure.

Lia must use her magical bond with Calanthe to save her people while her husband holds off Anure.
25. The Duke and I by Julia Quinn
If you haven’t watched the Bridgerton series, please explain where tf you were during the 2020 pandemic. I literally watched it three times. Enter the book by Julia Quinn the inspired it all, The Duke and I. Bridgerton is one of my top favorite spicy romance books for good reason.

However, she’s still holding out for a love match the way her parents did. Both Daphne and reader navigate rigid upperclass London society during the Regency Era.

27. An Offer From a Gentleman by Julia Quinn
An Offer From a Gentleman is the third book in the Bridgerton series and actually my second favorite book behind the Duke and I. This is Benedict Bridgerton’s story and I’m not gonna lie, I’m a sucker for a good retelling of a Cinderella story. We first meet Sophie Beckett who is the bastard daughter of an Earl. At her father’s request, Sophie is educated as a noble woman. However, when her father dies, she is downgraded to the role of a servant.
Deciding to do one thing for herself, she decides to sneak into Lady Bridgerton’s famed masquerade ball. Sophie knocks Benedict Bridgerton off his feet with her free spirit and charming smile. Sadly for all Cinderellas, Sophie’s enchantment ends at midnight.

28. Romancing Mister Bridgerton by Julia Quinn
I’m about to spoil some shit from the series so if you don’t want the Bridgerton spoiled for you, this is your one and only warning. Look away!
Romancing Mister Bridgerton is a great redemption story. Colin has always been the kindest and most charismatic of his brothers. Penelope has secretly pined for him for years. She thinks she knows everything about him until she discovers his dark secret and fears she really didn’t know him at all.

29. A Touch of Darkness by Scarlett St. Claire
Don’t you love a good retelling on the classic romance between Persephone, Goddess of Spring and Hades, Ruler of the Underworld? I know I sure do.
A Touch of Darkness follows our heroine, Persephone except she’s kind of a failure. Since she was a little girl, flowers have shriveled at her touch. She wants nothing more than to live as a mortal journalist in New Athens.
Now we have Hades, the reigning king of debauchery whose built a gambling empire in the mortal world. Following the old legend, Persephone finds herself in a contract with Hades after a chance encounter. The stakes? Create a life in the Underworld or lose her freedom forever.

The second book in the series, A Touch of Ruin finally sees Persephone’s relationship with Hades go public. Which is very, very bad for her as it threatens to expose her for the failed goddess she is.

Things go from bad to worse when Persephone decides to take matters into her own hands after suffering a tragedy with Hades refusing to help. She strikes up a bunch of bargains that lead to severe consequences. Faced with a side of Hades she never knew alongside crushing loss, Persephone wonders if she can truly become Hades’ queen.
31. Rhapsodic by Laura Thalassa
Buckle in for Rhapsodic which is a spicy fantasy novel. The is one of the best spicy books on Kindle unlimited. Callypso Lillis is a siren with a very big problem. For the last seven years she’s been donning a bracelet of magical black beads. These are magical IOUs for favors she received from The Bargainer. Only death or repayment can dissolve the beads.
Rhapsodic by Laura Thalassa takes us into Callypso’s world, where if you need a favor, you can go to The Bargainer. He can get you anything you want for a price. If you strike a bargain with him, you best believe he will collect sooner or later. He’s never asked for repayment from Callie…until now. One night, she finds the handsome Bargainer in her bedroom with a devious sparkle in his eyes. Her world turns upside down when he asks for a kiss which costs a bead.
Our ever scheming Bargainer never does things without purpose and there’s a reason he’s rekindling an old romance. Something big and terrible is happening in the Otherworld. Something colossally evil has been making faerie knights go missing. But that’s not the worst part. It has been killing women and children and returning them in glass caskets with the child clutched to the mother’s breast. If the Bargainer wants to save his people, he’ll need the help of the siren he spurned long ago.
However, in the faerie realm, everything comes with a catch. The big baddie of this series has a taste for exotic creatures and Callie happens to be one. If you’re on a book hangover from the A Court of Thorns and Roses series then this is still in the realm spicy fairy books you have to read. This spicy fantasy book series is followed by A Strange Hymn, The Emperor of Evening Stars, and Dark Harmony.
32. Flames of Chaos by Amelia Hutchins
From the same author of the Fae Chronicles comes Flames of Chaos by Amelia Hutchins. This is for those who love a fantasy book with spice. Aria and her sisters return to the human realm of Haven Falls to discover the world is no longer as they left it. We also introduce our moody hero Knox, the egotistical, self-centered, frustratingly gorgeous man who declared himself King during their absence.
Aria soon discovers she’s much more than a witch of the coveted Hecate bloodline. She is now faced with a choice to find her sister and save her family or give into her desires for Knox.
Our boy Knox is kind of a dick because he has plans that have been cultivating for the last five hundred years. Even though Aria is his sworn enemy, will his desire for her be enough? Will Knox let go of the memories of the past, driving his need for revenge that will destroy the pretty little witch he craves, or will he push the boundaries to fight for and claim what is his by right?
Be warned that Hutchins books are nothing but pure smutty trash. If you’re looking for more fun and less story, then her books definitely deliver. You can find the majority of Hutchins’ spicy books on Kindle Unlimited.
33. Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
No spicy book list could be complete without Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. This books serves as my second greatest inspiration for visiting Scotland—the first being my lovely friend, Keri. Outlander is the story of Claire Randall, a former front line combat nurse during World War II.
The couple is reunited again after having been separated for six years. They go on a second honeymoon to the highlands of Scotland. Frank also visits his good friend Reverend Wakefield to trace his ancestry. While in the Scottish Highlands, Claire begins to hear buzzing from standing stones during the Festival of Samhain. When she touches them, she is transported 200 years into the past, right before the Jacobite Rebellion.
Claire wants nothing more than to go home back to her time. However, after meeting the handsome, charming, and emotionally intelligent six foot red headed Highlander Jamie McTavish, she’s going to have to make the hardest choice of all.
P.S. And once you’re done reading, head over to Amazon Prime to watch Outlander.
I hope you enjoyed diving into the realm of good spicy books. If you’re wondering, yes, I did in fact read every single one of these popular spicy books and I enjoyed them all. And yes, side effects for me have included writing letters to Santa asking him to send me a Jamie for Christmas because I’ve been extra good this year. (And the fat bastard has yet to deliver.) Until then, I will probably go reread some of my spicy book favorites just for shits and giggles. Until next time, cherish this list of romance fantasy novels.
