Swordheart by T. Kingfisher
I don’t know how else to say this, but this is a fantasy romance novel that you could bring home to mom. It’s sweet. It’s mature. The humor is so razor sharp, and at times unexpected; I actually laughed out loud quite a few times. The romance itself is medium spicy and I really enjoyed how the heroine and the hero are fully actualized adult persons. this is a good one for those who are just getting into the fantasy romance genre. Skip the Courts in the Crowns and go straight for this.
