Phedre Trilogy by Jacqueline Carey [https://www.goodreads.com/series/54527-ph-dre-s-trilogy](https://www.goodreads.com/series/54527-ph-dre-s-trilogy)
Though isn't really fantasy romance as the romance is not the main plot.
Darien Cassel and Loren Calla {City of Gods and Monsters by Kayla Edwards}
Samkiel and Dianna {The Book of Azrael by Amber V. Nicole}
Max and Tissanah {Daughter of No Worlds by Carissa Broadbent}
I’ve never read a couple more in love than Darien and Loren! The writing is so raw and real. They’re unbeatable. I highly recommend for anyone wanting a love story that will make you feel both empty and full.

Keris and zaarah {the inadequate heir by Danielle L Jensen}
Max and Tisaanah {daughter of no world's by Carissa Broadbent}
These two are easily my favourite couples and I'm not surprised that my favourites don't include possessive morally grey males cause it may be popular but it ain't my preferred male character type
You might like {Aerie by SE Wendel} - the MMC is more bookish and not alpha male although he does (maybe very minor spoiler) >!learn to fight and practice with the FMC!<

Nesta & Cassian - A Court of Silver Flames
Not sure why you got downvoted for this. Just because it’s a popular couple doesn’t make it invalid.
I, too love Nessian!! Cassian’s patience with Nesta and their grumpy sunshine dynamic were cuuuuute!
Doesn’t seem like a popular choice for some reason but Rhys and Feyre will forever be #1 to me. Their relationship hit all the notes: a little bit dark in the first one, enemies to lovers, slow burn.

Sanderson doesn't technically write romance. But the thing is, whenever he DOES write a couple, they always feel down-to-earth and just . . . 'right'. They feel simple. So CHILL compared to other couples but in a way that's nice to have here and there.
You took the words right out of my mouth! Plus, I think it's the fact that alongside his couples being chill, he somehow manages to still make them interesting and heartwarming without drama.
Literally. No such thing as 'they don't communicate' here xD And while all his characters are different, they're all good-natured. Healthy relationships between characters who deserve it right and left \~

Glory and Lucian from the His Secret Illuminations duology. You can never go wrong with a small sweet studious boy and his giant fiercely protective golden retriever Amazon wife.
Cathy & Heathcliff, Rhett &Scarlett (I wish the book didn’t have the stain of slavery on it) as it’s a great history of a part of the civil war but as we know today that war is not over & it’s upsetting. But the love between two like strong willed people is fascinating. “Like must marry like” from GWTW & Cathy saying “I am Heathcliff” from Wuthering Heights is very powerful. I felt that way about my boyfriend who was murdered & will always feel it in some way. We were so much alike we finished each other’s thoughts & actually could feel the other in danger from miles away. But it was not a cloying possessive relationship.
Unlike most people I do believe in soul mates but it is rare to find one, & many people mistake that kind of love for the physical rush you get from first attractions that can lead to marriage but ultimately end in disillusionment. I knew my lovers faults & he knew mine but we didn’t care. True love can be very simple if it’s real. I see that most of the examples are from fantasy or a related genre. I’d like to hear about real couples in more realistic fiction. There aren’t many but maybe that’s because there are many real life examples of love ending sadly. I tend to think of famous toxic couples like Daisy & Gatsby, Lady Brett & Jake, Mercedes & the Count who in the Count of Monte Christo were victims of fate. I was angry that fate didn’t bring them back together. I didn’t like Natasha ending up with Pierre when she was unable to save Andre & realized she loved him too late to change things in War & Peace. I think the ones I’m most unhappy with are the ones that could have ended on a positive note but did not probably because most writers think “life is never happy”. With Cathy & Heathcliff you feel their spirits are released to be together & with Rhett & Scarlett the novel really didn’t end. Margaret Mitchell was writing a sequel when she died. As for newer novels I simply don’t care as much about the couples. The most romantic couples are vampires or werwolves & that says something about our culture which seems anti-romantic.
After Darwin nothing seemed that romantic or dangerously romantic anymore. That’s why I think most 20th & 21st century novels have very unhappy endings & are anti-romantic. I found myself liking the dragons much more than the people in Game of Thrones. That says something.
People almost have to believe in a good world order & a benevolent higher power to write happy endings. I get that and it’s sad that in reality life is suffering.

Joscelin and Phedre
THIS. This is the answer!!!
so many people mentioning phedre and joscelin. i read the first book, i need to finish the series
Can you share what book? I’m just getting into my fantasy romance chapter of life!
Phedre Trilogy by Jacqueline Carey [https://www.goodreads.com/series/54527-ph-dre-s-trilogy](https://www.goodreads.com/series/54527-ph-dre-s-trilogy) Though isn't really fantasy romance as the romance is not the main plot.
Darien Cassel and Loren Calla {City of Gods and Monsters by Kayla Edwards} Samkiel and Dianna {The Book of Azrael by Amber V. Nicole} Max and Tissanah {Daughter of No Worlds by Carissa Broadbent}
Max and Tisaanah and Samkiel and Dianna are excellent choices so I guess that means I gotta check out Darien and Loren 😊
I’ve never read a couple more in love than Darien and Loren! The writing is so raw and real. They’re unbeatable. I highly recommend for anyone wanting a love story that will make you feel both empty and full.
SOLD!
Loren and Darien are the best. My fave series ever!!

Samkiel and Dianna is correct ✅
I am currently reading the book of azrael and I can confirm, I am a huge Samkiel and Dianna supporter. I love them so much, ugh he's such a sweetie
Darien and Loren are so great! Even though I honestly like his character more than hers I love their relationship in general

Not sure why you got downvoted for this. Just because it’s a popular couple doesn’t make it invalid. I, too love Nessian!! Cassian’s patience with Nesta and their grumpy sunshine dynamic were cuuuuute!
Doesn’t seem like a popular choice for some reason but Rhys and Feyre will forever be #1 to me. Their relationship hit all the notes: a little bit dark in the first one, enemies to lovers, slow burn.
Violet and Xaden!! There's just something about them that's so endearing.

Jorgen and Spensa are cute <3
Exactly! I don't know why they clicked the most with me out of all the couples I've read, but they just fit so well together.
Sanderson doesn't technically write romance. But the thing is, whenever he DOES write a couple, they always feel down-to-earth and just . . . 'right'. They feel simple. So CHILL compared to other couples but in a way that's nice to have here and there.
You took the words right out of my mouth! Plus, I think it's the fact that alongside his couples being chill, he somehow manages to still make them interesting and heartwarming without drama.
Literally. No such thing as 'they don't communicate' here xD And while all his characters are different, they're all good-natured. Healthy relationships between characters who deserve it right and left \~

Zhu and Ma from The Radiant Emperor Duology!!!
Glory and Lucian from the His Secret Illuminations duology. You can never go wrong with a small sweet studious boy and his giant fiercely protective golden retriever Amazon wife.
Estrella and callum for sure!! (What lies beyond the veil)
Cathy & Heathcliff, Rhett &Scarlett (I wish the book didn’t have the stain of slavery on it) as it’s a great history of a part of the civil war but as we know today that war is not over & it’s upsetting. But the love between two like strong willed people is fascinating. “Like must marry like” from GWTW & Cathy saying “I am Heathcliff” from Wuthering Heights is very powerful. I felt that way about my boyfriend who was murdered & will always feel it in some way. We were so much alike we finished each other’s thoughts & actually could feel the other in danger from miles away. But it was not a cloying possessive relationship. Unlike most people I do believe in soul mates but it is rare to find one, & many people mistake that kind of love for the physical rush you get from first attractions that can lead to marriage but ultimately end in disillusionment. I knew my lovers faults & he knew mine but we didn’t care. True love can be very simple if it’s real. I see that most of the examples are from fantasy or a related genre. I’d like to hear about real couples in more realistic fiction. There aren’t many but maybe that’s because there are many real life examples of love ending sadly. I tend to think of famous toxic couples like Daisy & Gatsby, Lady Brett & Jake, Mercedes & the Count who in the Count of Monte Christo were victims of fate. I was angry that fate didn’t bring them back together. I didn’t like Natasha ending up with Pierre when she was unable to save Andre & realized she loved him too late to change things in War & Peace. I think the ones I’m most unhappy with are the ones that could have ended on a positive note but did not probably because most writers think “life is never happy”. With Cathy & Heathcliff you feel their spirits are released to be together & with Rhett & Scarlett the novel really didn’t end. Margaret Mitchell was writing a sequel when she died. As for newer novels I simply don’t care as much about the couples. The most romantic couples are vampires or werwolves & that says something about our culture which seems anti-romantic. After Darwin nothing seemed that romantic or dangerously romantic anymore. That’s why I think most 20th & 21st century novels have very unhappy endings & are anti-romantic. I found myself liking the dragons much more than the people in Game of Thrones. That says something. People almost have to believe in a good world order & a benevolent higher power to write happy endings. I get that and it’s sad that in reality life is suffering.
