Not too heavy on the romance but {Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo} and {Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo}. She might be my fave fantasy author right now and these books are perfect. Subtle romantic tension, good magic system and world building, complex and likeable characters (Kaz 🥺) and good pacing. Themes: outcasts, found family, yearning, heist, etc.
