7 Fae Romance Books (Fairy Tales/Folklore)
I read many fairy or folk books and have a huge list as a fantasy lover. So I will review the top 7 fae romance books for you. You can read these books at any time, especially at night. Let’s go!
1. The Cruel Prince (Folk In The Air Series)
This is the Folk in The Air series, and it tells the story of Jude, who was brought up in Elfame, a kingdom within Fairy. She was brought up by the fae who murdered her parents. Also, she has two sisters, and her twin sister is called Taryn. Then she has Vivi, her older sister, who is half-fae. So those sub-characters also have good subplots.
Vivi has her own story and plan, and Taryn and the other characters around you have their agendas. The world-building is amazing in this book. You can visualize everything, and each world is very specific.
Jude is a very stubborn, strong-willed human girl. She makes bad decisions, but it’s essential to have a character that makes good and bad decisions. On the other hand, Prince Cardan is everything that Jude is not, and he is the love interest, but also the Prince of Elfame. So he is a very sexy character. Moreover, he lives a life of luxury, spends most of his time drunk, and does not care for anyone. It’s an enemy to love fae romance because Prince Cardan and Jude hate each other in the first book.

3. A Deal with the Elf King: Married to Magic
This book is about Luella, who is forced into a marriage with the Elf King Eldas to save his kingdom. It is a standalone novel. Luella is a very bad character, and she’s powerful, independent, and passionate. Eldas is the complete opposite, and he’s very cold and calculated because he’s lived a life of solace and cares so much for his kingdom, and he will do anything to save it. They are enemies to lovers, and you can see a theme coming here, and their romance is fantastic.
They’re bouncing off each other all the time, and they’re fighting. There is another in the same world, but it’s not from Eldas’ and Luella’s point of view but are from a secondary character’s point of view.

4. Shattered Kingdom
There are three books in this series, but Angelina is writing fourth as we speak. So this series is based in Neredyn, a world split into different kingdoms. Gandrett is a human girl who has been trained as a warrior in a place called the Priory, which is similar to a convent. Then she meets Nehelon, a fae who buys her for a mission, and Gandrett has no idea what this mission is.
Gandrett is unhappy about being bought, so she and Nehelon clash a lot initially. Then she realizes that as they’re going on this mission, she and Nehelon both get much more than they bargained for on this quest. It feels the very similar way that Holly Black built The Cruel Prince. Gandrett is a great main character, and she does sometimes makes bad decisions and goes through a lot of confusion. But she has the best arc, and Nehelon is an awesome male character because he’s super passionate about his kingdom. It is one of the best fae romance I have ever read.
