Winter reading season is here which means: blankets, emotional damage, fictional men who don’t exist, and aggressively avoiding real-life responsibilities.
So I’ve gathered the fantasy romances that hit extra hard when the weather drops below “Refuse To Leave My House.”
Think: snow-drenched quests, icy kingdoms, frostbitten pining, and enemies who should honestly calm down with all that tension.
Let’s melt some snow.
❄️ Warrior Princess Assassin — Brigid Kemmerer
If you want icy political scheming, fierce heroines with sharp edges, and a hero who DEFINITELY does not want to catch feelings (and yet here we are)—this one will sweep your winter weekend away. Brigid delivers battles, betrayal, and the kind of slow-burn heat that warms you up like a fireplace. Read my review of Warrior Princess Assassin
❄️ The Witch Collector — Charissa Weaks
A grumpy winter king? A witch who refuses to go quietly? A snowy journey that devolves into mutual pining and “accidentally falling in love while trying not to die”? Yeah, this is peak winter reading. Cozy, magical, and deliciously atmospheric.
❄️ The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy — Brigitte Knightly
That title alone tells you EXACTLY what you’re getting, and thank every snowflake in existence for it.
Winter enemies-to-lovers energy: icy banter, frostbite-level tension, and a romance that feels like a spark in a blizzard. Read my review of The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy
❄️ Wisteria — Adalyn Grace
Adalyn said: “Would you like a gorgeous, gothic, wintry fantasy romance that feels like frost on your spine?” Wisteria is lush, atmospheric, and dangerously readable. The worldbuilding is immaculate. The tension? Chef’s kiss.
❄️ Alchemised — SenLinYu
Set during winter and absolutely PACKED with emotional devastation, alchemy brilliance, and romance that sneaks up behind you like a snowstorm. This one is for readers who want to ache beautifully while watching snow fall outside. Read my review of Alchemised
❄️ A Court of Silver Flames — Sarah J. Maas
Look. It’s winter. It’s cozy. There’s smut. It’s Nesta being Nesta.
There’s training montage warmth, cabin-in-the-snow tension, and Valkyrie-level emotional catharsis.
Perfect if you need a book that grabs you by the face.
❄️ Spectacular — Stephanie Garber
Garber ALWAYS feels like winter magic—soft, glittery, dangerous-around-the-edges.
Expect whimsy, romance that sparkles like frost, and vibes so enchanting you’ll forget what month it is.
❄️ Frost — C.N. Crawford
Cold world? Check. Steamy tension? Double check.
C.N. Crawford gives us that perfect “I hate you but also let me save your life” energy that feels MADE for winter downtime.
❄️ Holly — Adalyn Grace
Another wintery treasure from Adalyn Grace.
Snow-kissed romance, delightful chaos, magic that feels like fresh snowfall. Pure seasonal joy with a twist.
❄️ Frozen by Stardust— Elizabeth Helen
Okay, okay, this one isn’t out yet, but can you tell I’m super excited about it? With the cover alone, it belongs on this list. Plus, the fact that it’s about my favorite icy prince…I just had to include it. April 2026 can’t come soon enough!
☕Bring your cocoa, your chaos, and your Kindle
Winter fantasy romances are elite. They hit harder, cozy better, and read faster because you’re not going outside anyway.
Let these books keep you warm, give you chills, and maybe make you question your real-life standards. (As they should.)
