As you can see, romance can be and is everywhere — that’s the beauty of it. Genre-blending books really give you a little bit of everything you love, creating a wonderful piece of content. For example, when I’m on Twitter, I constantly see people search for adult fantasy romance books. The fantasy genre is well-loved by many readers and it’s often a comfort genre for them. Adventures, magic, creatures — you find yourself relating to a world that you won’t ever see in your lifetime. And if you add a romance to that? People just go wild for it. If your heart cannot choose what to read, choose that genre-blending romance novel you bought three months ago and left on your shelves. It may just be your new favorite book of the year.
Romance Meets Fantasy
If you want to pick up a fantasy book but also a romance book, why not both? Fantasy romance is a huge hit every single time.
Romance Meets Historical Fiction
You don’t have to look too hard to find historical fiction in romance. Here are some options from Regency romance to tales set in the American west. When Cinnamon accidentally saves a demon while drunk, her life quickly changes. It’s then when the demon asks her for help to rescue all the other demons from the same witch who is enslaving them.

They understand each other. Both driven by revenge, Maddek and Yvenne find themselves falling for each other. On one side we have Maddek who wants to kill the corrupt king who murdered his parents even if it costs him the Parsathean crown. On the other side, we have Yvenne, a princess who is the last in the line of legendary warrior-queens. She proposes a marriage between them in order to achieve both their goals. Influencer Chellie just recently broke up with her boyfriend who then publicly confessed his love for his new girlfriend immediately after breaking up.

Fenton, the god of the forest, watches the hunters each and every day, failing at the task. But when Prior enters the woods in order to ask the god to save his sister from a sickness, his life slowly changes.
Romance Meets Suspense
Now, let’s talk about suspense romance books, alright? I’m a sucker for thrilling, suspenseful books and movies because I never expect the twists and turns. I’m always on the edge of my seat! If you’re like me, I’m positive these next romance titles will be perfect for you. Cecilia is a prim and proper lady…who also happens to be a thief. She wants to be part of the Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels, but the ladies there think she hasn’t earned the spot yet. When they’re suddenly kidnapped by pirates in flying houses, she takes this opportunity to prove to them that she is as wicked as them. Of course, with the help of a dashing and charming pirate. Andrew Yates needs to start thinking about starting a family, but all the respectable women…don’t make his heart beat wildly. Then Billie Wells arrives at his ranch with a child in her arms, telling him that he is the father! The Devil Comes Courting is about Captain Grayson Hunter and his search for a reclusive genius. He wants to find this genius so they can help him complete the first worldwide telegraphic network. But he thinks this person is a guy and who he finds is Ms. Amelia Smith instead. Charles Finch is £20,000 in debt and needs a rich heiress to marry.

Charles needs to prove he’s different from the way he was before, and maybe he can convince Louisa to marry a rake like him. Kit refuses to participate but agrees to teach him the way to achieve this! Between lessons and kisses, can their hearts be stolen by each other?
Romance Meets Comedy
Romcoms are comfort reads. They give you laughs and a romance? Perfection in (usually) less than 400 pages. Coal Eastly is the new security guard at the museum where Roux works. Roux’s an alpha girl who always goes for what she wants, and now Coal has walked through the doors. Before their romance starts, strange things start to happen in the museum. Tempted is the latest book in the Atlanta’s Finest series. Detective Ashton is ready to quit the police force, but first he needs to capture the man who murdered his sister. Because of this, he has no social life. But his life soon turns around when he meets a sassy bar owner. Nadia and Luca crash into each other on their first meeting. The second time they meet they can’t help but feel a pull towards each other. But both of them are living lives that can’t factor love in them. Even though, every single thing they learn about each other makes their attraction grow stronger. Romance is my favorite genre. I love the picture of the main characters finding that special person(s) with who they can share their lives, but also like…with a little bit of something else, you know? It’s not only finding romance in a typical setting, but maybe they can find it while they save the world. Maybe they can find romance while they fight a criminal syndicate trying to kidnap them every chance they get. In a world where not everything is flowers and rainbows, it’s nice to share your life with another being. If you’re looking for more romance books, check out this list of coffee shop romances.
