It’s not really romance (except for the last book, which does have a satisfying hfn romance), not really erotica (there’s a lot of sex but it’s not that graphic or sexy, imo), it may be triggering to some (both because of the non-consensual dream sex and because one of the main characters was abused as a child), but I’m mentioning it because I enjoyed it. The series is a rif on Harry Potter – if Harry Potter went to college in the US, had a lot of sex (both magical and mundane), and lived in a more morally ambiguous world. It’s a crazysauce series – I gobbled it up, but I also have reservations about it, especially book 3 (there’s non-consensual dream sex in it and not enough consequences for the offender, imo). Since others have mentioned SF/F books, I’ll mention Cecilia Tan’s Magic University series, especially the 4th and final one (The Poet and the Prophecy) – with a few caveats. ![]()
