💃 Shifter Romance Recommendations
The Bird and The SwordLark grows up hiding her magical gifts under the threat of persecution. After 20 years of living like a prisoner in her own home, she’s taken by the son of the king who killed her mother. I think fans of Grace Draven and Carissa Broadbent will like this one. |
My Plain JaneIf you’re missing My Lady Jane then you’ve got to pick up My Plain Jane. Jane Eyre is living as a governess when she meets Mr. Rochester. But just like the first book, the authors put a fun supernatural spin on the classic tale. |
The Fake MateNoah has spent his life hiding that he’s an alpha. Unfortunately, an anonymous tip has forced him to find himself a fake mate. It’s just lucky timing that werewolf Mackenzie is looking for a fake boyfriend of her own. This is such a sweet friends to lovers. |
Moon CalledMercy Thompson’s busy running her mechanic shop when she tries to rescue a teenage werewolf. But when things go south, she has to turn to Alpha Adam Hauptman for help. No real content warnings on this one, but please check the content warnings for some of the later books in the series. |
Wolf Gone WildMateo Cruz has been unable to shift for three months. Thinking he must be cursed, he goes to powerful witch Evie Savoie to fix him. Mateo’s inner wolf has a distinctly different voice than him, which is so fun. This is the first in the Stay a Spell series, and trust me when I say that you will be staying for the rest of the series. |
Dragon ActuallyAnnwyl the Bloody is one of the most unhinged female protagonists you’ll ever meet. Annwyl’s busy decapitating soldiers in her quest to defeat her brother and starts training with knight Fearghus so she can defeat him. Too bad he’s secretly a dragon. There’s nine books in this series and you’ll race through all of them. |
The Wolf at the DoorAn ex-FBI agent must work with a werewolf to solve a series of mysterious deaths. As more people vanish, special agent Cooper must learn to trust his new partner Oliver—even though he is as suspicious as he is seducing. |
That Time I Got Drunk and Yeeted a Love Potion at a WerewolfCheesemaker Brie accidentally hits werewolf Felix with a love potion. Now she has to convince him that he didn’t just meet his fated mate. Kimberly writes the most unique titles and the wittiest banter. |
A Ruin of RosesAn erotic take on the Beauty and the Beast where our beast is a dragon shifter, our beauty is a poor woman who has never shifted, and our kingdom is cursed by a demon king. Check out the content warnings. |
Dragon BoundWhen half-human, half-wyr Pia is blackmailed into stealing from powerful dragons, she finds herself a target of Dargos Cuelebre. If you like J.R. Ward and Nalini Singh, you’ll like this one. |
Smash & GrabYes, you read that right—we have a dinosaur shifter in the house! A pink haired bat-wielding dinosaur shifter saves a paleontologist from getting kidnapped. You can read this ridiculous romp in one sitting. |
Seduced by a SelkieDelta is so done with Folk Haven. She’s just in town to get her father’s house ready to sell. When she jumps into the lake to save a swimmer, she accidentally finds her fated mate. She doesn’t want anything to do with Calder, but he’s willing to do whatever it takes to win her heart. |

💌 Romancelandia News
My Lady Jane was cancelled after one season. Prime missed out by not marketing this as a shifter romance. More than 9,000 people have signed a petition to renew it. If you haven’t yet watched it, please do.
St. Martin’s Press sent out sex toys with new rom com The Pairing. Many influencers are already boycotting the publisher for concerns about alleged racism, which prompted St. Martin’s Press to put out a basic statement. Influencers have pointed to numerous issues with sending out unsolicited sex toys, including crossing boundaries, a lack of consent, and potentially embarrassing and unsafe situations.
Literary agent Caroline J. Trussell will be looking for adult romance, fantasy, and women’s fiction in October.
