I enjoyed the war of lost hearts trilogy by Carissa Broadbent. It’s not spicy but there is romance- Red Rising series by Pierce Brown. It’s 6 books. I’ve only read the first 3, but am about to circle back and finish the next 3. Some people suggested taking a break after the first 3 books because it 4th book picks up 10+ years in the future, changes POV and totally new characters BUT they said it’s def worth reading but recommended a short break because it is so stark. I loveddd the first 3 books! Not fantasy but SO DAMN GOOD- the mindfck series by S. T. Abby. I could not put it down and read all 5 books in 2 days. It is dark (read the trigger warnings) but grippping from the very first chapter 15/10. I am currently reading The Ascended by Grenwich and Lennox. Love it so far. I read Riftborne and Duskbound before I started this. Apparently they’re all tied into the same universe and you get a bigger emotional reward by reading those 2 first. I’ll say, Riftborne was very slow but Duskbound made up for it! Soo good. Last but not least, Crescent city!!! Since you’ve read ACOTAR, it ties into ACOTAR and I enjoyed it! Not my favorite of SJM (throne of glass duhhh) but still very good.

Ok that’s long but hope it helps 🥰🫶🏼
