4 Fantasy Romance Books to Snuggle Up with This Autumn

As the leaves begin to turn fiery shades of red and gold, and the air takes on a crisp chill, there's no better time to cozy up with Gilmore Girls, a hot chocolate, and of course, a book. While there are plenty of great contemporary romance novels to keep you warm this autumn, if you’re looking for a chance to sink your teeth into something a little different, here are four fantasy romance books that will transport you to different realms, even if it’s just for a little while.

 

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

The Night Circus follows Celia and Marco, two young magicians bound in a competition by their mentors. The circus only opens at night. Brimming with enchanting performances and magical wonders, it serves as the perfect backdrop for their rivalry. As Celia and Marco's abilities grow, so do their feelings for each other, creating a love story that is as enchanting as the circus itself. Erin Morgenstern's dreamy voice makes this book a perfect autumn read.

The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden

Katherine Arden's debut novel transports readers to a frosty medieval Russia. The story follows Vasilisa, a young girl with a gift for seeing and communing with the spirits of the forest. When her village falls under the sway of an austere priest and a shadowy evil, Vasilisa's mystical abilities become lifesaving. Along the way, she encounters the enigmatic Frost King, Morozko, leading to a slow-burning romance that will keep you warm on the chilliest nights.

A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas

If you’ve read book one and are umming and ahhing over opening up book two, this is your sign to do it. It gets way, way better. In the second instalment of Sarah J. Maas's ACOTAR series, Feyre Archeron's life has taken a dark turn, and she finds herself in the company of the mysterious High Lord of the Night Court, Rhysand. As Feyre navigates the intrigues and dangers of the Faerie world, her relationship with Rhysand deepens.

Stardust by Neil Gaiman

What better time than Autumn to open up Neil Gaiman's Stardust, which follows Tristan Thorn on a quest to retrieve a fallen star for his beloved, only to discover that the star is not a piece of rock but a celestial being named Yvaine. As they journey through the magical kingdom of Stormhold, their bond deepens, and their love story unfolds against the backdrop of a magical and enchanting world. With its fairy-tale elements and autumnal undertones, Stardust is a perfect choice for a cozy autumn read.

 

Whether you prefer ethereal circuses, wintry landscapes, Faerie realms, or magical quests, these four stories will give you the perfect start to fall. Grab a blanket, a hot beverage, and one of these enchanting novels, and let the autumn vibes sweep you away into a world of love and fantasy.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Penny Reid

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
