So I asked for good Fantasy novels with a side of romance (because I like romance in my fantasy, so sue me), and someone told me that Stephen King is the best Romance writer.

This made me laugh out loud. Stephen King is not a romance writer. Do some of his books have romance? Sure. But just lol. Also man can't write an ending to save his life. Still read every book he's ever written though because he's still a good writer.

@thelinuxcast have you read Tadd Williams’ Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn trilogy?

@janov911 I haven't. What are they about?

@thelinuxcast @janov911 just a really good epic fantasy tale (trilogy) with some romance mixed in. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory,_Sorrow,_and_Thorn) It’s one of my favorites from college :-)

@thelinuxcast @janov911 Currently reading the blood and ash series. (Jennifer Lynn) Interesting, but after 2k pages still not sure if it’s great or just good.

@janov911 I hate when that happens.

I just finished Dragon Bound by Thea Harrison. Didn't know it was a series until about half way through. Hate when that happens too

cybersandwich,

@thelinuxcast I've heard the Sarah j mass throne of glass series might fit the bill. I haven't read them yet but it's fantasy with a side of romance.

@cybersandwich I've heard that too. I have the first one of her main series on hold.

@thelinuxcast You might want to check out "Dragonsbane" by Barbara Hambly if you haven't already. It is the start of a series, but it is a story all it's own without some cliffhanger ending.
"The Paladin" by C. J. Cherryh might interest you as well.

@blind_piper thanks. I'll give them a look.

@thelinuxcast You ever read "Malazan: Book of the Fallen" by Steven Erikson? It's damn good and 11k pages in total ... it has "romance" ... but not sure if it fits what your asking for. Anyway, damn good series.
