FROM BLOOD AND ASH <— HUGE SURPRISE NEW BOOK RELEASE by author Jennifer L. Armentrout (one of our HUGE early indie favorites!!!) and she’s just released a fantasy romance that’s got a side of forbidden love!!! YES PLEASE! 😀
Susan: Such a great book. I loved every moment of it.
Grey: Oooh, yes, please!!!❤️
Andrea: 😍 what an awesome giveaway! There’s so much awesomeness in this one post I can’t even handle it!
Sarah: From Blood and Ash has become my new favorite by far!
Rachael: I absolutely love Jennifer Armentrout and am dying to read her new book!!!
Kimberly: I bought and finished From Blood and Ash the first day it came out, and I have the BIGGEST book hangover ever. It was such an incredible read and is not only one of my favorite JLA books, it’s one of my all-time favorites now.
She’s today’s newsletter sponsor and her publisher (The Blue Box Press) have sent over an excerpt, some fun stuff about the book, plus we’re having a giveaway!!!
She says:
Dear Reader,
When I start reading a book, I want to be swept away, captivated, shocked and messed up in the best way possible from. From Blood and Ash is all of that. If you love forbidden romance, this book is for you. If you love snark, this book is for you. If you love action and intrigue, edge of your seat moments and being caught off guard by what you’re reading, this book is for you. And if you’ve been missing… vampires in your life, this book is for you.
She also posted a bit of personal tidbit about it, on her Facebook page:
SURPRISE! FROM BLOOD AND ASH IS AVAILABLE NOW!
Four years ago, I had this idea for a fantasy. I tinkered with the idea, here and there. Actually created an outline. Character bible. Location bible. I even drew a map. It was terrible. For a lot of those years I was afraid to actually sit down and write it. I’d never written a high fantasy before. What if I couldn’t do it? What if my readers were like nope? But the story stayed with me. Then, I was talking to an author friend of mine about books of the heart, and I realized that this idea was a book of my heart.
So, I sat down and finally wrote FROM BLOOD AND ASH. This is the first book I’ve ever written that came out exactly how I saw it my mind. There was no way I could wait for a year or more to share it.
Enter Blue Box Press, and the amazing team of Ladies—Liz Berry, MJ Rose, and Jillian Stein. This was a huge book to fast track through edits—over 170,000 words, over 600 pages. But they did it. Then Hang Le created a cover that absolutely blew me away. Since January, we planned on releasing FROM BLOOD AND ASH the Tuesday after ApollyCon. Although ApollyCon had to go through some significant changes, we didn’t want to postpone FROM BLOOD AND ASH.
This book has been four years in the making, and I believe now more than ever, books can provide a much needed escape. With all of that being said….
So what’s it about?
Captivating and action-packed, From Blood and Ash is a sexy, addictive, and unexpected fantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Laura Thalassa.
A Maiden…
Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.
A Duty…
The entire kingdom’s future rests on Poppy’s shoulders, something she’s not even quite sure she wants for herself. Because a Maiden has a heart. And a soul. And longing. And when Hawke, a golden-eyed guard honor bound to ensure her Ascension, enters her life, destiny and duty become tangled with desire and need. He incites her anger, makes her question everything she believes in, and tempts her with the forbidden.
A Kingdom…
Forsaken by the gods and feared by mortals, a fallen kingdom is rising once more, determined to take back what they believe is theirs through violence and vengeance. And as the shadow of those cursed draws closer, the line between what is forbidden and what is right becomes blurred. Poppy is not only on the verge of losing her heart and being found unworthy by the gods, but also her life when every blood-soaked thread that holds her world together begins to unravel.
She also talks about it in this video:
I am thrilled to have a very special surprise release today and I’d love to tell you more about it!
In this video, I talk with Blue Box Press co-owner (along with Liz Berry and MJ Rose) Jillian Stein about the book and give information on a very special gift with purchase promotion which includes a special From Blood and Ash bookmark and a limited edition temporary tattoo featuring commissioned dagger artwork!

And now… an excerpt:
From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout – excerpt
Snapping out of my stupor, I whirled to face him, the hood of the cloak remaining in place as my hand went for the dagger. I looked up…and then up some more.
Oh, my gods.
I froze, utter shock rippling through me, shorting out all common sense when I saw his face in the soft glow of the candlelight.
I knew who he was, even though I’d never spoken with him.
Hawke Flynn.
Everyone in Castle Teerman knew when the Rise Guard arrived from Carsodonia, the capital, a few months ago. I’d been no different.
I wanted to lie to myself and say that it was due to his striking height, placing him nearly a foot taller than me. Or it was because he moved with the same inherent, predatory grace and fluidity that belonged to the large, gray cave cats that normally roamed the Wastelands but that I had seen once in the Queen’s palace as a child. The fearsome, wild animal had been caged, and the way it continuously prowled back and forth in the too-small enclosure had equally fascinated and horrified me. I’d seen Hawke pacing in the same manner on more than one occasion, as if he too were caged. It could’ve been the sense of authority that seemed to bleed from his pores even though he couldn’t be much older than I was—maybe the same age as my brother or a year or two older. Or perhaps it was his skill with the sword. One morning while I stood beside the Duchess on one of the many balconies at Castle Teerman, overlooking the training yard below, she’d told me Hawke had come from the capital with glowing recommendations and was well on his way to becoming one of the youngest Royal Guards. Her gaze had been fixed on Hawke’s sweat-slick arms.
So had mine.
Since his arrival, I’d found myself hidden in the shadowy alcoves more than a few times, watching him train with the other guards. Other than the weekly City Council sessions held in the Great Hall, it was the only time I saw him.
My interest could simply be because Hawke was…well, he was beautiful.
It wasn’t often that could be said about a male, but I could think of no better word to describe him. He had dark, thick hair that curled at the nape of his neck and often fell forward, brushing equally dark brows. The planes and angles of his face made me yearn for some talent with a brush or a pen. His cheekbones were high and wide, nose surprisingly straight for a guard. Many of them had suffered at least one broken nose. His square jaw was firm, and his mouth well formed. The few times I’d seen him smile, the right side of his lip curved up, and a deep dimple appeared. If he had a matching one in his left cheek, I didn’t know. But his eyes were by far his most captivating feature.
They reminded me of cool honey, a striking color I’d never seen before, and he had this way of looking at you that left you feeling stripped bare. I knew this because I felt his stare during the Councils held in the Great Hall, even though he’d never seen my face or even my eyes before. I was sure his regard was due to the fact that I was the first Maiden in centuries. People always stared when I was in public, whether they were guards, Lords and Ladies in Wait, or commoners.
His stare could also just be a product of my imagination, driven by my small, hidden desire that he was as curious about me as I was of him.
Perhaps it was all those reasons why he caught my interest, but there was another one that I was a little embarrassed to even acknowledge.
I’d purposely reached out with my senses when I saw him. I knew it was wrong to do when there was no good reason. Nothing to justify the invasion. And I had no excuse other than wondering what often made him pace like a caged cave cat.
Hawke was always in pain.
Not the physical kind. It was deeper than that, feeling like chips of sharp ice against my skin. It was raw and it felt never-ending. But the anguish that seemed to follow him like a shadow never overwhelmed him. If I hadn’t prodded, I never would have felt it. Somehow, he kept that kind of agony in check, and I knew of no one else who could do that.

Ooh. This is tough. I think my favorite fantasy series is an oldie by Kristen Ashley. The Fantasyland Series. I also loved The Bird and The Sword by Amy Harmon. I’m not sure if that is considered fantasy or not. Thanks for the chance and hope everyone stays healthy!
Hi Maryse! It is tough to choose a favorite fantasy romance (one of the best genres!), but I loved the Irin Chronicles books, I have re-read those a few times! Also, loved the Sarah J Maas books…all her series! Thanks for the giveaway, and your blog which is keeping me book-supplied during this home bound time! xo
OMG, Maryse…I literally just had a squee attack! This is such an amazing opportunity, and oh man, do I want it!! LOL, Glitter explosion all over the place over here!!!
Thank you to both you for all you do and the author & publisher for offering up such a great prize!
My favorite fantasy romance is A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas, no doubt… le sigh, Rhysand….
I’m not sure if it counts as fantasy romance (probably more paranormal) but I absolutely love the Dark Hunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon! Also, anything Sarah J. Maas
My fav fantasy romance story would be Morgan & Ren from Wicked! Can’t wait for the passionflix movie!🤗! Well…I have my own romance story. It all started the with a drunken phone call! I was 25 and just moved back in with my parents after filling for divorce from my high school sweet heart. He was home on leave from Army in Korea. I swore off men and couldn’t take another of my brother-n-laws bad matchups. He calls me drunk at midnight telling me I need to go out with him and he is the best thing since sliced bread 🙄! It was just to funny to just hang up and I finally said “ yes, I’ll meet you”. We arranged to meet at a bar n grill. I brought my sis n he brought his cousin. I came in back entrance and sent my sis in before me to see if I should bail out, and he had planned to say his cousin was him if I was a “scanky“ or dog (his words)! Need less to say I ended up pregnant a month, and he got sent to Iraq a month after that. 3 kids, and 3 fur babies, 15 years later and he still my other half, soulmate, and best friend!❤️
I have so many that I just can’t name a favorite
Thanks for the chance! My favorite right now is this one hahaha other favorites are jens other works haha
From Blood and Ash is now my favorite fantasy/forbidden romance book! Thank you for the chance!
What an awesome giveaway! I need this one! The cover is so gorgeous. I absolutely love the All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness. All three books are amazing. Talking about them makes me want to reread them! Thanks for the chance 😊
I would have to say the warlord series by Elizabeth Vaughan is one of my top favs.
Another great fantasy romance I loved was The Great Hunt by Wendy Higgins! Thanks for this amazing chance ♡
Hmm, I would say the Twilight saga🖤 does that count lol.
I tend to read more paranormal romance than fantasy, but I would have to go with SJM and ACOTAR for me! Thank you for the chance!
I think my favorite fantasy romance right now is ACOTAR <3
Thanks for doing this giveaway!
This is so amazing! And I’d have to say that my favorite fantasy series has continued to be Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas, but From Blood and Ash could be the new favorite. I can’t wait to see how this series plays out!!!
I love The Chicagoland Vampires romance between Merit and Ethan by Chloe Neill.
I started reading at the age of 17, (and I’m now 29) but I never had a favorite book or author. When I read Sarah J Maas A Court of Thorns and Roses series and fell in love. My absolute favorite book is A Court of Mist and Fury. Thank you so much for this opportunity!
I love all her books!! The White Hot KISS series was great. She does so many! Love love love!!
I also love Sara Lyons Until the End of The Workd series. So much fun
A Jennifer L. Armentrout book in the style is a Sarah J Maas book?!? Perfect!
This is hard but I would have to say ACOTR series, Wicked series by JLA, All of Linsey Hall’s Dragon Gift series. There are just too many great ones out there.
Such a great blog post and giveaway! I am very excited to read this book! There are so many great reads in this genre that I doubt I could ever pick a favorite, but I recently started reading The Marked series by Bianca Scardoni and enjoyed it a lot!
Love that series!❤️🙌🏻
My favorite fantasy with romance (I don’t think it’s actually a fantasy romance) is Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonflight and Nalini Singh’s Slave to Sensation. Oh and the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning. I know it’s more than one but it’s hard to choose one…
Oh goodness! Thank you so much for all the information in one page – so much easier to read this way. As well as for the opportunity. Now, my favorite Fantasy Romance would be any of the Shifters Unbound novels by Jennifer Ashley. Though in the YA sector of things I would need choose the Hush, Hush Saga from Becca Fitzpatrick. Forbidden Love will always be Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare for me; it was the novel that got me hooked on classics – and will always be my pick; even if it did end in tragedy.
Hiii!! There are SO many series to choose from! Ummm some of my favorites are the immortals after dark by Kresley cole, lords of the underworld by gena showalter and the psy changling series by Nalini Singh. Im so excited to take a break from work (in the ER) and read an amazing book from one of my fav authors!!! Thanks for the opportunity!
There is no possible way to choose a favorite. Maybe a favorite right now?………. Nope still can’t narrow it down to one. I do agree with Robyn though, Kristen Ashley Fantayland series is one of my favorites. Wildest Dreams is the first book of hers I ever read. And then I bought and read every single book she had ever written. Jaymin Eve is I guess considered more paranormal? Love love love her Dragon Marked and Curse of the Gods Series. Brenda K. Davies Road to Hell Series (Again paranormal? Fantasy? This debate could go on forever. I lump them together in my kindle collection.) And my list goes on. Those are my top 3 go to series……for now. Until I find something shiny and new that will bump them down for the week. Or start going through my collections and remembering how awesome things are. And that is probably how I am going to spend the rest of my day.
Oh man…..there’s so many favorites to choose from! My favorite fantasy romance would have to be Dimitri and Rose from Vampire academy (it’s under urban fantasy). Its got a bit of forbidden love mixed into there as well, it’s one of the greatest book romances! I love how their relationship starts, and the INSANE twists and turns it takes.
One of my favorite fantasy romance/forbidden love stories is Jennifer Armentrout’s the Covenant series… Alex & Aiden are such a great couple! But I must say that I am also absolutely in love with Cassandra Clare’s The Mortal Instruments (original 6-book series). Clary & Jace definitely tug at the heartstrings on the regular.
I bought and finished From Blood and Ash the first day it came out, and I have the BIGGEST book hangover ever. It was such an incredible read and is not only one of my favorite JLA books, it’s one of my all-time favorites now. I desperately need the sequel lol.
In terms of a favorite fantasy romance, this is tough. Kushiel’s Dart by Jacqueline Carey was a favorite growing up, and ACOMAF by Sarah J. Maas is also fantastically romantic. I’m also obsessed with Laura Thalassa’s Bargainer series, which is phenomenal.
Thank you so much for the chance!
I LOVE this book!
I can’t wait to read this book. It looks amazing.
😍 what an awesome giveaway! There’s so much awesomeness in this one post I can’t even handle it!
My favorite fantasy romance is definitely the A Court of Thorns and Roses series. I love me some Rhysand 😍
I might seem basic but my favorite fantasy romance is ACOMAF by Sarah J. Maas.
Thank you for the opportunity! I love Layla and Roth in the Dark Elements series. I also love Feyre and Rhysand in the Court of Thorns and Roses Series. 🙂
I love all JLA books but if I had to choose …. Nope can’t do it. Ok so maybe Lothaire of the Immortals After Dark series by Kresley Cole is pretty awesome for a fantasy romance
Hi! It’s hard for me to answer that – there are so many fabulous stories out there!! – I think I have to go with Nadine Nightingale’s God’s of Egypt series – Book of Souls is amazing!! Thank you so much for the chance to win one of these amazing gifts! Stay safe and healthy! Keep smiling and read on!!
Thank you for the opportunity!
From Blood and Ash will be the first fantasy that I’ve read!
Literally anything by JLA is amazing. She can do no wrong with her books 😍
My favorite forbidden lovers romance is I Think I Love You by Estelle Maskame. I absolutely love Jennifer Armentrout and am dying to read her new book!!! Thank you for the contest!!
Hi all! I love love the Fallen series by Lauren Kate. It involves angels and the oldest forbidden love story.
I started with Sarah J Maas’s ACOTAR and fell in love!! Thank you for the chance!
Hmm my favorite would have to be the White Hot Kiss series.
Thanks for the chance!! My favorite used to be the ACOTAR series by Sarah J Maas, but From Blood and Ash has become my new favorite by far!
OK so my favorite has to be Gena Showalter’s LOTU series by far, Or her Alien Huntress series.
If you haven’t read any of hers, where have you been ? I couldn’t pick one of her books in the series because I LOVE them all for different reasons. Thank you for these giveaways!! Both giveaways would be awesome to have but LOVE the pen 🙂
Oh and BTW – I’m not the writer but she is amazing !!
Thank you so much for the giveaway! I love Storm and Fury 💙
Anything by Jennifer Armentrout, Jaymin Eve, SJ West, or Wendy Higgins. Thanks to them, I can’t pick just one!
Thanks for the chance!
Not sure it qualifies as fantasy but my favorite romance is the Wicked trilogy AND the sequel novellas. Love Ivy and Ren but equally adore Brighton and Caden.
What an AMAZING giveaway. I Love,, Love, Love! JLA 💯 it’s to difficult to choose just one series…😂😍
Omg!! A coloring book. That is so cool. I would have to say that I love Anita Blake. Sorry I know it’s paranormal but just love her. By l k Hamilton.
Right now my favorite fantasy romance novel is A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness. I’m a quarter way through and I’m already in love with Matthew and Diana! Thank you for the giveaway opportunity!!
I’m a sucker for JLAs Lux series… love me some Kat and Daemon! 😍😍😍
Thank you for the chance, if i have to say, i would say Forbidden from Tabitha Suzuma 🙂
What a giveaway. I was introduced to Jennifer L Armentrout by JR Ward. Have devoured her books ever since. Good luck everyone.
My all time favorite fantasy/romance is The Black Jewels Saga by Anne Bishop. It deals with some VERY heavy issues, especially in the first book. But the romance told throughout is just… everything. It’s got a bit of forbidden love to it when it starts because the Janelle is still a child when she meets Daemon, who has been waiting for her forever. (Nothing occurs between them during this time of course)
It all started with The Darkest Star 🌟 🖤 A forever fan!
Thank you for this post. I can’t wait to read this. I love fantasy books. I have many favorites including Divergent Series, The Chosen Series by Meg Ann and The Hunger Games. Thank you.
Thank you for the chance
Omg blood and ash and those goodies 🥰🥰😍 thank you for the chance. Love fantasy and p.r by jenn, kresley cole, Amelia Hutchins and Laura thalassa
Hmm, I have to say that Radiance by Grace Draven is my favorite fantasy romance. Ildiko and Brishen are just the best ♥️.
Can’t wait to read this book! My favorite romance is White Hot Kiss 💋 Roth is the best!
Love Brenda K. Davies books, Sarah J. Maas’ books, and Laura Thalassa’s books. Dark-Hunter series, Black Dagger Brotherhood… Oh, I have to stop can’t list them all! 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite fantasy is A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J Maas.
I am so excited to read JLA new book! I love fantasy so much! ❤️ Thank you for the chance!
I don’t know what my favorite fantasy series would be. Maybe Acotar? Thanks for the giveaway.
It’s so hard to just pick just one. I’m a huge Kristen Ashley fan. I think I’ll have to pick the book The Golden Dynasty (Fantasyland Series). It’s so wrong, but so right at the same time. I highly recommend this book if your looking for something to read.
What a wonderful give away and couldn’t happen at a better time. Thanks for the chance!
Definitely Sarah J. Maas, though I’m sure that is a popular answer!
I’ve always loved the Lux Series. Has been my favorite from the beginning. But when I read From Blood & Ash, it might have stolen first place.
One of my favorite fantasy romance series are the Georgina Kincaid books by Richelle Mead. Thank you for the giveaway!
My favorite fantasy would be the ACOTAR series. Thank you so much for this amazing giveaway!

Okay so I absolutely love forbidden love stories. I don’t know why it is just my thing and my all time fav is undeniable by Madeline Sheehan. I love that story so badly. I love this author she is kind and fabulous and I am trying to own all of her books but I just can’t get her book right now. This is something to definitely look forward to. Thank you.
I love all of her books! Blood & Ash is very intriguing and I love it! My favorite fantasy romance is Daemon and Katy in the Lux Series!
Rhysand and Feyre from ACOTAR are my favorite. Well, technically just Rhysand but Hawke so reminds me of him!
I loved both of these books so much! Honestly, I can’t wait for The Queen to be released! Caden is one of my favorite anti-heroes and the wicked novellas are one of my favorite forbidden love stories.

Honestly From Blood and Ash is my new favorite! But before that it was Storm and Fury
I met her for the 1st time in Winter Park. The author chat was amazing. I am so glad that she is living life to the fullest.
Think of all of the virus stories that will be written. You can write about what is happening. No need to make anything up. The now is unreal.
Great giveaways!!! My favorite fantasy is City of Bones series. 😊
I love Jennifer Armentrout book! She is definitely a one click author!! Her Lux series is one of the best series ever written in my opinion and like revisiting them every year.
Oh man, I love so many “forbidden love stories”! My top ones are definitely Kat and Daemon from Lux by JLA, and I also really love Matthew and Diana from A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness! Alex and Aiden from the Covenant series by JLA are also fricken beautiful together!😂💜 I would be so grateful to win! JLA is my all-time favorite author, and I unfortunately cannot afford anything except “essentials” at the moment due to losing both jobs as a result of COVID-19, and as a college student I do not qualify for stimulus money😢. Thanks for the chance and best of luck to everyone!
Halfway To The Grave is my favorite!
From blood and ash 🥰 I would love a hard copy 😍
Oh man, I don’t think I could ever choose just one fantasy book(it’s my favorite genre) but I guess it would have to be Game of Thrones but I absolutely loved The Covenant series by Jennifer Armentrout. Thanks for such a great giveaway!

I love the forbidden romance between aiden and Alex in the covenant series by Jennifer l armentrout
This is amazing! Thank you! My favorite fantasy series is the black dagger brotherhood by j.r. ward
A Court of Thrones and Roses, by Sarah J. Mass. I loved the series and can’t wait for more books to come out. It engraved me from the first book, the twists that I never saw coming it was an amazing read.
I think my favorite fantasy romance is Radiance by Grace Draven. Appreciate the chance!
I have always loved Nicky Charles if you haven’t read her she is good , she wrote The law of Lycans .She only wrote about 8-9 books though. So I am always look for a good fantasy writer.
How awesome!!! My favorite fantasy romance is probably…Dimitri and Rose from the Vampire Academy books. I’ll always love them. ❤️ Stay safe everyone and may the odds be ever in your favor!
So so SO excited to read From Blood and Ash. Been a fan of Armentrout since the Covenant series first came out, so it’s been incredible to see her grow as an author. And currently, my favorite fantasy romance is House of Earth and Blood by SJ Maas, which came out last month – soooo good!
I think my favorite fantasy series is the Cursebreakers by Brigid Kemmerer.
I don’t know if I could pick a favorite. But sci-fi and fantasy genres are my go-tos! I’ve been eyeing this book for a minute 😄
What an awesome giveaway! I think my favorite fantasy is probably anything by Ilona Andrews (especially her Hidden Legacy series!).

My favorite fantasy romance is Rhapsodic( the bargainer series) by Laura Thalassa. It’s got a Siren, a king Fae, a long lost love story. What more could a gal want? The book goes between Callie(the siren) and Des ( the fae king)when they first met, to ten years later, when Des needs Callie’s help. Women Soldiers in Des’s kingdom are leaving and coming back in comas and pregnant. he needs Callie’s help to find out what’s going on and how to wake them. There’s an evil lerking in the shadows and they need to find it before it finds them. I don’t want to spoil it, but it’s a must read!!!
I have read so many wonderful paranormal or fantasy series. J.R.Ward, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Kim Harrison just to mention a few. I have a feeling from reading the excellent preview, that I have found a new author for my list! I would love to win some swag, but especially the book!! I wish you a long prosperous career! Thanks for taking me on this adventure and for (finally) sitting down a writing this story!♥️

TY!!
My favorite is the series “A Court of Thorns and Roses”. I only first read them a few months ago but I was hooked. I was also in a deep depression and it helped me a bit as I looked forward to finding out how the story was going and it gave me something to strive for. I loved Feyra and Rhysand and by how supportive my husband was at the time, I realized that I had my own Rhys. Thank you for the chance to enter.
The excerpt is such a teaser! I would love to read this book! The giveaway looks fabulous! My favorite forbidden love story is “On the Island” by Tracy Garvis Graves. The love story between TJ and Anna stuck to me for a very long time.
I would love to read From Blood and Ash. Love JLA and she’s from a town right near mine, so she always has such a homey vibe to me.
It’s always so hard to choose one favorite, so I’ll have to go with JLA’s Lux series or White Hot Kiss. Honestly all of her books are my favorite, although SJM’s ACOMAF is right up there with them. There are just so many to choose from!
I have so many that picking just one wouldn’t be fair.
One of my favorite forbidden love stories is The Controversial Princess by Jodi Ellen Malpas!!
Oh my goodness! It’s so hard to choose but I’m going to say “The Winners Curse” series! Thank you for the chance! Be safe everyone ❤️
My favorite fantasy series is the Lux Series by Jennifer L Armentrout, and my favorite forbidden romance novel is The Dark-Hunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon!
I love Jennifer Armentrout stories! One of my favorite fantasy romances is the Rylee Adamson series by Shannon Mayer- great cast of characters and a bada** heroine!
Omg this giveaway is SO PRETTY!!! My favorite fantasy romance at the moment would have to be the Shatter Me series or more specifically Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi. I haven’t been able to read FB&A yet so that could very much change!
My favorite is Her Darkest Fear by Ava Bradley Any clairvoyance romance unfortunately not a lot out there.
Omg!! I LOVED this book so much! DEVOURED it in 1 sitting!!
I love Sarah J. Maas series!!
Thanks for the chance!
Favorite by bar is from JLA herself! Can’t get over Roth and Layla from her stone cold touch series! 💜💜💜💜💜
Right now I think I would have to say that Sworn to the Shadow God by Ruby Dixon is my favorite fantasy.
I just finished this so I have to say that this is the new favorite! And it was such a big fulfilling story but now I’m DYING for more.
Hmm I love so many fantasy books. I love A Court of Thorns and Roses. It’s been one of the biggest escape reads and throughout the series the love story changes and get so much better.
This sounds wonderful! I had no idea that Jennifer had a new book publishing. I feel so behind. The cover is gorgeous and the story sounds amazing!
I love Kristin Cashore’s Fire. My favorite book of all time – a beautiful fantasy with a kind-of forbidden romance.
Thank you so much for the chance! 💜

My favorite is A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J Maas.
My favorite forbidden love story is the Balance series by Lucia Franco.
Thank you for such a great giveaway😄.
Oooo! This is an amazing giveaway! My favorite forbidden romance is actually the Lux series by Jennifer L. Armentrout…. I remember reading those when they first came out and just being so consumed by them. Otherwise lately I’ve been a sucker for the Voyeur series by Fiona Cole for forbidden romance.
Thank you for the chance!!! So this book is probably my top favorite now in fantasy romance, but I also really love the Blood Lust series by Alicia Marino (it’s only available on Wattpad as of now). It’s amazing and also has vampires, which I love!
From Blood and Ash sounds fascinating. My favorite fantasy romance is the Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R. Ward.
