Romance novels recs based on your favorite Game of Thrones characters

Romance novels recs based on your favorite Game of Thrones characters
Picture
ere at Romance Rehab, we’re BIG Game of Thrones fans. So, in honor of the upcoming last episode EVER of Game of Thrones (pardon us while we quietly sob for a moment), we wanted to take the opportunity to combine our love of Game of Thrones with our love of romance novels and make some fabulous book recommendations to all you fine folks. You’re welcome. So, without further ado, here are some romances you’ll LOVE based on your favorite Game of Thrones characters.

(Note: Yes, we realize some of our recs are urban fantasy, not really romance. But they all have a strong romantic element, so we stand by our picks. We also recognize that some of these are repeats from our Avengers list. Don’t care. They still apply. We also realize that not every Game of Thrones character is represented here. That’s because there are like a billion characters on that show and there’d be nowhere to ever stop. So please don’t write and say that you’re upset with us because we didn’t include Hodor recommendations. And, it’s our list and no one is the boss of us, so there’s that. Let’s not get judgy and just have fun with this, m’kay?)
Arya Stark

Arya Stark

Arya Stark is arguably the biggest badass on the show. (And there are A LOT of real badasses on the show, so to shine in that crowd is truly an accomplishment.) She slayed The Night King, for God’s sake. So, if highly trained badass assassins like Arya are your jam, you’ll adore these lovely lethal ladies:
Havoc by Debra Anastasia
Picture
Semi-Broken by Isabel Jordan
Picture
Reviving Izabel by JA Redmerski
Picture
Spider's Bite by Jennifer Estep
Picture
And, while she’s not an assassin, if tough survivors who are hell-bent on vengeance (like Arya) are your  jam, you’ll want to check out Sugar Daddy by Sawyer Bennett. Need more? Try these ultimate badass heroines. ​

Sansa Stark

Sansa Stark

Love her or hate her, you have to admit that Sansa is a survivor. She’s been to hell and back, and she’s become stronger for it. If heroines with great inner strength (like Sansa) who have overcome adversity and/or abuse are your favorites, you won’t want to miss these...
The Strongest Steel by Scarlett Cole
Picture
Tied by Carian Cole
Picture
Bane by LJ Shen
Picture
Easy by Tammara Weber
Picture
And you'll definitely want to check out these heroines with surprising inner strength.

Daenerys Targaryen

Daenerys Targaryen

This one is tough to narrow down, because Dany is so, so many things. She’s the ultimate badass. She’s overcome tremendous adversity and has just as much inner strength as Sansa. She also commands an army, and is a queen. So, where do you start with Ms. Targaryen?

Well, when in doubt, start with the dragons. She’s the mother of dragons. So, if you like women who can control the dragons in their lives, you won’t want to miss reads:
Fire of the Dreki by LE Wilson
Picture
Fire in His Blood by Ruby Dixon
Picture
Darkest Flame by Donna Grant
Picture
Dragon Actually by GA Aiken
Picture
And if women who rule are your thing, you won’t want to miss Royally Yours by Emma Chase

Jon Snow (Aegon Targaryen)

Jon Snow (Aegon Targaryen)

Jon Snow is honorable and a great warrior and a genuinely decent guy. But can we all just admit that those qualities aren’t what make him really sexy? What makes him really sexy is that he’s broody, angsty, and a little scarred and damaged. So, if you like your men a little scarred and damaged and angsty (no judgement, by the way), you’ll LOVE:
Reaper by A Zavarelli
Picture
Disgrace by Brittainy Cherry
Picture
Love in the Light by Laura Kaye
Picture
Rush by Emma Scott
Picture
And let’s not forget that when the show started, Jon was a virgin. So, if you like virgin heroes, you’ll want to check these out.

And because he’s such a nice guy and would most likely make the best boyfriend in real life from this show, you’ll want to check out this list.

Still need more? We got you covered.

Tyrion Lannister

Tyrion Lannister

Tyrion, like Daenerys, is many different things. He’s incredibly intelligent, snarky as hell, and a brave dude who has managed to survive some major battles when the odds were against him. So, where do you start with a guy like Tyrion?

Well...let’s admit that when the show started, he was a bit of a manwhore. He’s not that way anymore. So, if reformed manwhores are your kind of romance hero, then you’ll adore:
Diary of a Bad Boy by Meghan Quinn
Picture
Moonshot by Alessandra Torre
Picture
Beautiful Player by Christina Lauren
Picture
And if you like men who, like Tyrion, can delivery snarky one-liners like its their damn job, you NEED to check these heroes out:
Hate Notes by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward
Picture
You Complicate Me by Isabel Jordan
Picture
Neighbor Dearest by Penelope Ward
Picture
I Flipping Love You by Helena Hunting
Picture

Jamie Lannister

Jamie Lannister

OK, I think we can all admit that Jaime Lannister DID NOT start out in this show as a good guy. He did some truly awful things. (Not the least of which was having sex with his sister and pushing Bran out a window...but I digress…) But over the seasons, he’s been dealt a few crushing blows that humbled him and made him see the error of his ways. He tried his best to redeem himself and become the kind of man Brienne of Tarth could respect. (And I have totally shipped those two since they traveled together to King's Landing with him as her prisoner. I’m not even sorry. #Braime forever!) But if anti-heroes like Jaime are your kryptonite, then you’ll want to download these guys posthaste:
Prisoner by Annika Martin and Skye Warren
Picture
Vandal by Carian Cole
Picture
Ruthless King by Meghan March
Picture
The Bad Guy by Celia Aaron
Picture

The Hound

The Hound

Here’s another guy who, like Jaime Lannister, has done some terrible things in his life. But he’s worked hard to redeem himself, too. And if Game of Thrones was a romance, he’d be well on his way to a HEA with Sansa by now. (I still think her not going with him when he offered to protect her and take her out of King’s Landing was the biggest mistake that girl ever made. But I digress…) So, if you’re like me and love a good Beauty and the Beast retelling (which is exactly what The Hound’s love story with Sansa would be if I had my way), you won’t want to miss these:
Lover Awakened by JR Ward
Picture
Menace by JM Darhower
Picture
When Beauty Tamed the Beast by Eloisa James
Picture
The Bride The Beast by Teresa Medeiros
Picture
The Vixen and the Vet by Katy Regnery
Picture

Brienne of Tarth

Brienne of Tarth

If you love a female warrior who knows how to swing a sword, you’ll like:
Magic Triumpsh by Ilona Andrews
Picture
Shades of Wicked by Jeaniene Frost
Picture
Throne of Glass by Sarah Maas
Picture
Semi-Human by Isabel Jordan
Picture
Night Unbound by Dianne Duvall
Picture

Melisandre

Melisandre

Sexy psychics? We got ‘em:
The Soul Summoner by Elicia Hyder
Picture
Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris
Picture
Picture
Picture
Once Burned by Jeaniene Frost
Picture

Khal Drogo

Khal Drogo

He wasn’t on the show for nearly long enough, but while he was there, he made an impression. So, if hot, battle-hardened warriors are your cuppa, check out these fine gentlemen:
Fractured Honor by Kaylea Cross
Picture
Under Fire by Scarlett Cole
Picture
Wounded by Jasinda Wilder
Picture
Picture
Picture

Ghost

Ghost

No, I’m not going to recommend romances featuring beastiality. Minds out of the gutter, folks! But because Ghost is and has always been one of my favorite characters (I about had a heart attack when he charged into battle with the Dothraki and didn’t come back right away. But I digress…) I couldn’t leave him off the list. So, how about some hot wolf shifter romances in honor of the good boy direwolf?
Bayou Moon by Ilona Andrews
Picture
With Everything I Am by Kristen Ashley
Picture
Cry Wolf by Patricia Briggs
Picture
How to Flirt With a Naked Werewolf by Molly Harper
Picture

Gendry

Gendry

Super hot blacksmiths? Yes, please!
Under Her Skin by Adriana Anders
Picture
The Blacksmith's Wife by Elisabeth Hobbes
Picture

What do y’all think? Did we leave out your favorite? Let us know! We’d love to discuss.
