I just dove into KU a few months ago and have been devouring UF/PNR.
Recommendations:
  • Guild Codex Universe by Annette Marie - there are currently 4 intertwined sub-series, all have slowly developing romances over their arcs.
  • Valkyrie Beastiary series by Kim McDougall - unique world with romance. Tough but empathetic heroine.
  • Death Before Dragons by Lindsay Buroker - In the middle of this one right now, love the tough, irreverent heroine and haughty dragon slow burn. Great world.
  • Supernatural London by Helen Harper - Yay, a new one is coming out in Dec. Includes 2 intertwined sub-series Firebrand & Wolfbrand.
  • Leveling Up by K.F. Breene - Goofy world with romance
  • DDVN by K.F. Breene - another strong, irreverent heroine with romance. 3 intertwined sub-series.

I have a huge list I'm still wading through but I enjoyed/enjoying all these series.
I'll try out the Valkyrie Beastiary series first - "Tough but empathetic heroine" called out to me

Seconding these.

Would also add an absolute gem of a fantasy romance - the Stariel series by AJ Lancaster. First book is The Lord of Stariel.

For contemporary romance, there's so much that it's hard to know what to recommend without knowing your tastes, but some authors I really enjoy are Lucy Score, Pippa Grant, Claire Kingsley, Adriana Locke, Jolie Vines, Meghan Quinn, Rosalind James, Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward, Sara Ney.

Any books published through Montlake romance will be in KU, and authors that self-publish such as Marie Force have started rotating their romances into the program for 3-6 mos, then taking them out again.

There are 3 prequels.
  • The Last Door to Underhill occurs well before the main series but adds some depth to one of the characters. I actually read it after book 1, I don't think I would have engaged with the world as much if I had read it first.
  • The Girl who Cried Banshee occurs about 10 years before main series and is free today!
  • Three Half Goats Gruff occurs about a year before the main series, it covers the first meeting of the hero and heroine. I didn't know about this one before I read book 1, I went looking for it because I felt like there was something I had missed. Short story, worth the quick read.

That one is high on my list but I keep getting side-tracked and tied up in 10 book series.

For those of you who already have KU, there's a deal going right now to extend your membership for 6 months ($47.84), 12 months ($80.30), or 24 months ($143.80).

The 24 month deal works out to $6/mo. I'm enjoying the membership far more than I thought I would, so I jumped on that one.

Penny Reid recently added her entire Winston brother series, I haven't read any of them yet but I really like the author.

KU makes it so easy to fall down the series rabbit hole....

Right now, I'm counting down the days until Fated Blades by Ilona Andrews releases. So happy it's going to be in KU.

I had tried to cut off my current month membership only so I could take advantage of anything that comes up for Black Friday but they gave me another 3 months for 9.99 so now my membership is active until 1/30/22 (I really didn't want to cut it off for almost a month anyhow ). I'm still going to keep an eye on the extended deals on BF/CM because I'm also really enjoying the membership way more than expected.

Thanks! The Stariel series looks very interesting (and I love the covers ) I'll check out the authors for the contemps, especially Rosalind James - I always enjoy her books.

Oh, thanks for the heads-up! I've already started the first book (so many different creatures so far!), so I'll wait to finish before I look at the prequels.

Preferably contemporaries and urban fantasy. And I know this is the Romance thread but if you read any good KU mysteries, feel free to recommend these as well, while you're at it Thanks much!
You might look at the Jane Aikin Hodge titles - romantic suspense - though which are in KU may differ between NA and UK and some titles have been changed.

Note that you do not have to cut off current membership to take advantage of the sale.

Thanks so much for posting this- I also jumped on the 24-month deal. So many free/discounted audiobooks as well!

Thank you so much for this! My membership literally expires in 6 days, and I've had my fingers crossed for a while for a good deal.

It took me a while to find my way to the deal, though, because when I tried via "Your Account/Memberships and Subscriptions/Kindle Unlimited" the deals didn't show up - just a monthly auto-renew option. So then I did some googling and found my way to the deal. So for those who might be similarly search-challenged , here's a link that worked for me:

https://www.amazon.com/kindle-dbs/hz...ibe/ku/KUPlans

Of course, YMMV...

Oops, thanks for posting the KU link. I didn't think to do so myself.

For anyone whose links aren't working, it's a bit tricky to find. Click on the Kindle Unlimited tab at the top of any Amazon search page, then on the KU page in the top right corner, there's link "Extend your membership" that will take you to the deal.
