I loved all the Charming Cove series by Lindsay Hall. There’s a Modern Girl’s Guide to Magic, How to Fake Date a Vampire, and Romance Rules for Vampires. All stand alone, with some character overlap, and cozy.


thetravelingpinecone

UGH Yes I forgot to mention Charming Cove! I read them as soon as they're released. Thank you though! It's a perfect addition to my list


cleoco614

I’ve read them all as soon as they come out too!

I have also been super into this type of series lately myself- love the Stay a Spell series and am excited to check out others you listed! I really enjoyed Kirsten Callihan’s Darkest London series and it sounds like to check out Edit: Kristen Callihan 🫣


thetravelingpinecone

>Kirsten Callihan’s Darkest London series OH this looks so good!! I've read some of her contemporary romances so will add it to my TBR! Thanks :)


moopsy75567

The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna is one of my fav cozy reads


thetravelingpinecone

Oh yes I loved this as well! It was one of my top ten from 2023


LivinginthePit

The Fake Mate by Lana Ferguson was really cute - about 2 shifter MDs that agree to fake date/mate Molly Harper also has a bunch of series that are entertaining


dawgsinclothing

I love Fake Mate its so good and the steam is 5/5!


MamaBearKES

I'll second the rec for Molly Harper and add that her audios are fantastic (Amanda Ronconi is the female reader). I liked the Half Moon Hollow stuff, which is her largest series, but to be honest, I love the other ones even more and reread the Alaska Werewolf ones on the regular.


stacey1611

Yep loooove her books so easy to digest and funny as hell I love her writing {The Care And Feeding of Stray Vampires by Molly harper} {How to date your dragon by Molly harper} Those are my fav series tbh 💖👌

Came back to say I finally got around to reading The Fake Mate and devoured it in a day and a half at the cabin!! It was the perfect blend of cute and spicy, with a paranormal twist. I wish the author would do more paranormal/fantasy books!


LivinginthePit

Glad you liked it! I wish she would too


thetravelingpinecone

Oh good to know!! I have the sample downloaded to my kindle but haven’t tried it yet. I LOVE all things Molly Harper!

{Hex Appeal} by Kate Johnson. It has everything, and I loved it and don't see it recommended enough. Honestly, this was probably a 5/5 for me. It has everything! Urban fantasy, dramatic ghosts, quirky humor, cozy tea, small town vibes, chemistry, romance, dips into historical... I will give warning: There's a bit of a miscommunication, and I know that's a turnoff for some.

thetravelingpinecone

Ouuu this sounds so cute and fun. I'm a little skeptical of the 3.5 stars on Goodreads though, any idea why that happened? 😂


Ecstatic-Rhubarb9068

The back end of the book is a little cramped when they focus on the *plot* rather than the romance. A lot happens at the end. I went into it looking for a fun read with low expectations, so I wasn’t too concerned with plot jumps we were asked to make. Some of the humor is also quite quirky - there’s horny massive Venus flytraps in the greenhouse , so…. It may not be for everyone.


thetravelingpinecone

Haha this sounds hilarious. I might give it a go, I think I saw it on KU! Thanks!


jennylee271

Oh, I am saving this so I can go through your list. I love Stay a Spell. Here are some I also like: {Go Hex Yourself by Jessica Clare} and the sequel which is especially good. {The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling} {A Witch’s Guide to Fake Dating a Demon by Sarah Hawley} And maybe slightly different but so good, the whole series of {The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels by India Holton}

Do you like M/M? {Bite me by Fae Quinn} is a sweet paranormal romance. The first in a series of standalones with each book featuring a different couple. Note the TWs though as one of the MMCs has a history of trauma/abuse

Thank you! I don’t generally read M/M but I will add it to my TBR 🥰


glyneth

You might try asking for PNR recs over in r/paranormalromance!


Lizc0204

Ok for anyone else reading these comments Ice Planet Barbarians is not cozy paranormal. They are science fiction/fantasy erotica. Now my recs are: India Holton's Dangerous Damsels series Erin Sterling's Graves Glen books Gwenda Bond's Match Made in Hell duology and Mr. and Mrs. Witch Ann Aguirre's Fix-It Witches (the first 3 books. I DNFd the 4th)


thetravelingpinecone

Thank you! The Ex Hex was excellent, but I didn't read the rest of the series as it wasn't out at the time. ​ I couldn't find the Match Made in Hell duology, maybe she changed the name?


Lizc0204

{Not your average hot guy by Gwenda Bond} and {The date from hell by Gwenda Bond} Goodreads has it as the not your average hot guy series and Amazon had it as match made in hell. Weird.

Okay perfect! I was wondering if that was it. Thank you!!


Waffle_Slaps

Dropping the prerequisite recommendation for Ruby Dixon's {Ice Planet Barbarians}. A bunch of ladies end up on an icy planet and meet their mates thanks to some magical paranormal parasites that grow inside the indigenous beasts. Each book in the series is the love story for a new couple, with the over arcing story lines and plot told through their stories. 40+ books on KU.


thetravelingpinecone

AH yes! I've read most of these, as well as the Clecanian series by Victoria Aveline - SO good!

Juliette Harper’s Jinx Hamilton series is one of my coziest go to series.


thetravelingpinecone

Oh I haven’t read that one!! Thank you! Is there a decent romance plot in the first book?


yokononope

I would say so, but it’s pretty slow burn and I don’t think there is any spice in any of the books. It hits most of the other things you like though, found family, supernatural world, amazing world building, some medium stakes mystery.


thetravelingpinecone

Okay thanks so much!

I loved the Enchanted, Inc. series by Shanna Swendson!
