Some readers love a steamy romance. Some others adore a fantasy story. But why not have both? Take a deep, layered, fantasy story and mix it up with a romance plot that will make you swoon with sweet moments but also make you blush with spicy scenes. If you love the sound of that, prepare yourself! These steamy romantasy books will undoubtedly make you red in the face, because the spice is spicing and the heat is through the roof.

Caution: Spice levels are high!

In this list, I’ve kept it to romantasy books that have high levels of steamy content. We’re not talking about one or two chilis in the steamy-ometer. No, these are romantasy books that will definitely make you blush, close your book immediately, and fan yourself. Because of this, I don’t recommend reading these novels in public. Not because of the content or the spiciness — I’m a firm believer that you don’t have to be embarrassed by what you read! But because of the uncontrollable giggles you’ll have when your favorite couple finally succumbs to their desire. Or the blush that will be easy to notice when that particular scene you’ve been waiting for is finally shown.

You won’t only get a passionate love story: these steamy romantasy books have impressive world-building, layered and interesting characters, and a plot so intricate that you won’t be able to stop reading. From exiled princesses wanting revenge to spice farmers helping demons save themselves from a wicked witch, it’s impossible to have a boring moment while reading them.

This is a romantasy novel that, from the very first page, you know is going to be a steamfest. King of Battle and Blood is a bloody, passionate tale of vampires, queens, magic, and fated love. For the readers who love a bloodthirsty heroine, Isolde is going to become your new favorite.

Freya Maske’s steamy, historical romantasy is what dreams are made of. Set in an alternative Edwardian England, this book — and series — is perfect for fans of Bridgerton.

Robin is starting on a minor governmental position when Edwin comes knocking on his door, asking for Robin’s predecessor and telling him that magic is real. They realize the colleague Edwin is looking for has been missing for a while, so now they have to pair up to uncover all the secrets and mysteries surrounding the disappearance.

She has been plotting revenge since then, and now, when the Witch Collector has come to collect one of them again, she will be ready for him.

Cover of Best Hex Ever

Best Hex Ever by Nadia El-Fassi (OCT. 1)

Let’s leave all the high fantasy books and intense stories behind and venture into the realm of cozy fantasy novels. Specifically, let’s talk about Best Hex Ever, a cozy romantasy book that, while it’s light-hearted and deliciously cute, it’s also very steamy.

One thing Dina Whitlock knows how to do is bake mouth-watering goodies. She has her very own London café where she serves magic-infused pastries. Not many people know about the magic and the curse she has — the person she falls in love with will suffer a string of bad luck the minute they start having feelings for her. When she meets a handsome man during a wedding weekend, she is committed to trying to undo this hex!

Cover of Feed by Aveda Vice steamy romantasy books

Feed by Aveda Vice

Aveda Vice’s Feed is the scorching-hot prequel of Yours, Insatiably. I want to recommend Feed first because it really sets up the story before the main dish, but if you’re looking for a sexy, spicy erotic monster romance, look no further than Feed.

The book follows coworkers Avirin and Pye who barely get along. But after a mishap with an app, their relationship grows into something they never expected.

Cover of One Night, One Bite

One Night, One Bite by Dria Andersen

It wouldn’t be a true steamy romantasy list if I didn’t add Dria Andersen. If you’ve read her books, you know what I’m talking about. But if you haven’t read any, do it, and then you’ll come back and agree with me. All of her books could be here easily, but I wanted to specifically mention this paranormal vampire romantasy that simply is to die for.

In this novella, you’ll get to meet Raven, a witch, and Bas, a vampire. It all starts at a vampire club on Valentine’s Day, where these two meet one night and realize that the attraction between them is undeniable. Though Raven is still on the fence to start a new relationship after a disastrous divorce, Bas will pull out the big guns to make her see that they’re fated to be together.


If you’re looking for more steamy reads, but don’t want to read fantasy, this list of steamy romance novels can definitely help you pick up a few contemporary novels. You might also want to check out these romancifi (romance + sci-fi) books!
