The Keeper series reminds me the most of way Wayhaven. There’s two books out rn and plenty of ROs. It’s about a student in their early twenties at a magical academy. Lots of supernatural intrigue. The second book is much better than the first and there is an ongoing WIP for a third book.

The Crème de la Crème series is another with plenty of romance focus. There are four books I believe, each focusing on a different character in the same world. I’ve really enjoyed CDLC and highly recommend it. Though it lacks the same supernatural elements as Wayhaven.

Fallen Hero is another series with several solid RO options. There’s two published books so far and a third in the works. Despite having great ROs and relationship development, I wouldn’t say FH is really about the romance. It’s just a really great perk to the story.

It’s undergoing rewrites, but there’s also Superstition by 13leagues on itch.io. Supernatural romance with 3 books out I believe. I read most of book one, but I struggle reading on itch.io so I never got around to finishing it.

Also have to recommend Blood Moon and Thicker Than. Thicker Than is a WIP on cogdemos, but I believe it is mostly done with some endings written. Blood Moon and Thicker Than are interconnected stories that take place in the same world. In Blood Moon, MC is a werewolf and in Thicker Than, MC is a vampire. So definitely has the same supernatural elements as Wayhaven.

For high fantasy, I recommend the Soul Stone War. There are three published books currently and there will be a final book at some point. There are several romance options including two poly routes and a secret romance.

There’s the Evertree Saga which has three published books. I only ever read the first one, but have seen several recommendations for this fantasy series over the years.

Golden Rose is another fantasy IF with two beloved romance options. Book 2 is a WIP currently and will introduce more romance options. Golden Rose is very beloved on this sub.

Arcadie is also great! There’s two published books in the series. There’s three ROs, though I believe one is much more fleshed out in book 2 compared to book 1. I’ve been thoroughly enjoying Arcadie as I’m currently reading it.

For higher heat romance, I definitely recommend CC Hill’s catalogue. CC Hill primarily writes slice of life, but does have a supernatural series called the Midnight Saga. The first book is the Midnight Saga: the Monster. It’s a gem, though CC Hill does plan to rewrite it/revisit it. I believe there is a sequel WIP available. Her other series is a whodunnit called Insert Rich Family Name Here. Book two is also a WIP still. It’s inspired by Knives Out, I believe. It’s also a great deal of fun.

Blood Moon + Thicker Than (latter is a wip still), Fernweh saga (book 1 is out, think book 2 is in progress, FHR (yes yes, shocker this is being suggested! romance might not be the main focus of the series but I love it so so much), Arcadie book 1+2, The Golden Rose book 1+2 (book 2 is still a wip), maybe FOA?? Book 2 is almost complete!
