Most lists will throw 'From Blood and Ash' at you, and sure, it fits, but honestly? I burned out after book two. The lore got too convoluted for me. I found a much tighter, more satisfying read in 'The Witch's Heart' by Genevieve Gornichec. It's Norse myth retelling, so the mythical world is built-in and deep. The love between Angrboda and Loki is the definition of forbidden—against the gods, against prophecy, against literally everything. It’s heartbreaking and epic in a way that feels ancient.
For a hidden pick, try 'The Midnight Bargain' by C.L. Polk. It’s a Regency-esque fantasy where magic and ambition collide for women. The romantic connection is dangerous because it threatens the heroine’s entire future and freedom. The 'forbidden' tension isn’t about species or war, but societal structure and personal sacrifice, which hit me harder than some of the more fantastical conflicts. The magic system is cleverly tied to the central dilemma.

Romantasy recommendations can get stuck in the same handful of trending titles, but the real meat is deeper in the catalogue. 'A Heart of Blood and Ashes' by Milla Vane is a standout—far from a gentle courtship, it’s a barbarian-political alliance built on vengeance and necessity. The world feels genuinely mythic and harsh, not just a pretty backdrop, and the forbidden element comes from warring clans and deep-seated blood feuds, not just disapproving parents. The physical and emotional stakes are brutally high.
On a completely different tone, 'Radiance' by Grace Draven works because the 'forbidden' angle is cultural. An arranged marriage between a human prince and a non-human noblewoman where they initially find each other physically repulsive? That’s a fresh take. The forbidden love grows from overcoming that visceral, societal prejudice, building a profound bond that’s more about trust and partnership than sheer passion against the world. It’s a quieter, more cerebral kind of defiance.
If you want mythical scope, 'The Winter King' by C.L. Wilson is an older title that still holds up—elemental magic, warring kingdoms, and a love that’s literally tied to the fate of the world. The mythical world here is the star, with its own rules and gods that feel integral to the romance, not just set dressing.

Look, skip the novels and go straight to Kathryn Ann Kingsley’s 'Harrow Faire' series. It’s a slow-burn descent into loving a genuinely terrifying, ancient puppet-master in a traveling carnival that exists between worlds. The mythical element is deeply woven into the horror-tinged romance, and the 'forbidden' part is internal—fighting your own sanity and morals as you’re drawn to a charismatic monster. It’s a masterclass in making the unacceptable compelling. The world feels uniquely sinister and alive, not just another fae court or vampire castle.

The other is headstrong with a bad reputation, oh and a Fae.
Ember McKenzie Nichols is stuck between two very different men who are both fighting for her hand and her heart. Before she really gets a chance to figure out where her heart is leading her she’s thrust into the mystery of missing supernaturals. Both wolves and Fae have been taken and before a war breaks out it's up to Ember and her small team to find out who’s taken them and why, and hopefully get them back.
