I remember really enjoying the first season of "Thirteen Reasons Why." I definitely was not the teen target market. There's plenty of women who love horror and action. Besides, I'm secure in my manhood 😂

I'm guessing romantasy is a more recent term. I loved the movie "Romancing the Stone." I'm guessing that fits as romantasy.

OMGAHHH! I LURVE "Romancing the Stone." It's one of my Top 5 fav movies of all time. The scene where they slide down that mudslide-hill and he lands face first between her legs makes me laugh. Every. Single. Time. But I wouldn't classify it as romantasy; more like action-adventure. I had to get schooled in this genre, so I'm glad Alisa provided a good article that explains it: https://www.campfirewriting.com/learn/romantasy-vs-romance-in-fantasy

Yep, you and I have similar taste. The lady who wrote “Romancing the Stone” was working as a waitress. Her agent walked in one day with a big fat check from the studio for her script.

Oh, I see. “Romancing the Stone” would be romaction—see, I can make up subgenres too 😂

Great title, great cover book design, and great back cover synopsis. Congratulations. I love 'Paranormal Spy Romance Trilogy.' I heard romantasy is very big now. I know I'm not the target audience, but I will definitely buy this book digitally to read on my iPad. Awesome!!!
