If you like paranormal romance, His Unexpected by Bailey Elizabeth is a wonderful slow burn to 🔥 and the first book is free on kindle. If you like sapphic and regency, The Unlikely Pursuit of Mary Bennet is fun and sweet. If you like mm and vampires, Silver Blood by TL Morgan is great vampire x vampire hunter romance. If you like dark romantasy with morally gray characters, Thief by Amelia Mist is fun (& has very cool worldbuilding).

If you’d like a sweet, no spice novella that’s a beauty & the beast retelling w a nonbinary lead, Dirt Stained Hands, Thorn Pierced Skin is wonderful. If you like fantasy monsters, anything by SE Wendel is fantastic. AE Bennet writes some fun fantasy/dystopian romances of misc lgbtq+ pairings. For horror about generational trauma and vampires with a romance plot, Coal Gets in Your Veins by Cat Rector is great. This is why I asked for vibes lol I have sooo many indie recs.
