Another one is 'The Cruel Prince' by Holly Black. It's set in the faerie world where Jude, a human girl, has to navigate the dangerous and often seductive world of the fae. The power plays, political intrigue, and the budding relationships in the book make it an exciting and somewhat steamy fantasy novel.
The characters are usually complex and multi - dimensional. In steamy non - adult fantasy novels, the characters' relationships are a big part of the story. Take 'The Cruel Prince'. Jude is a strong - willed character, and her interactions with the fae prince, Cardan, are filled with tension, attraction, and power struggles. This adds to the steamy aspect without being inappropriate for a non - adult audience.
