I see many 4.5 to 5 star fantasy books. I get excited and read about them only to find out they are really just “romance” or smut type books. Grrr.

I really wish these romance novels would separate themselves from the fantasy genre. It wastes my time seeking out highly rated fantasy books only to find out they are actually romance books.

I wish I could block the romance and smut books when searching for fantasy novels.

It’s disappointing that these romance novels are masquerading as fantasy novels. I do understand these romance novels really are, for the most part, fantasy, but I wish I wish there were a separate category either for the romance fantasy or for the traditional non-romance fantasy novels so I could block them in my searches. I’ve no interest in romance at all.

    I will put on the list, thank you! The title reminds me of the Innkeeper Chronicles from Ilona Andrews and that was really good.
    Right now I’m reading Raine Benares Series from Lisa Shearin. It’s a fantasy and I believe about book 3 there is going to be some serious romancing coming up :)
