There's a podcast spun off of Reading Glasses called Reading Smut that covers these kinds of books. The podcast was fun, and I read my first "romantasy" recently.

I like my speculative fiction and fantasy more about world building than character driven, usually, so I haven't really seen much of this stuff.

I keep hearing good things about romantasy. At some point I need to look for some decent F/F offerings of it

Apparently it's a highly popular genre, but because it's often smutty people are embarrassed to talk about it, so it flies under the radar. If that podcast mentions good FF in particular, I'll let you know.
