*spoilers for the mentioned books regarding romance*


Moira J. Moore has an excellent fantasy series that has a lot of powerful women. There is a romance, but it builds up over several books and is not your standard romance.

The science fantasy (it's technically SF but there are magicians and it has a very dark fantasy feel) God's War series by Kameron Hurley is pretty awesome. There are romances between some of the secondary characters but the main character never has more than casual relationships/hook-ups.

The Hadrumal Crisis series by Juliet Mckenna has two female protagonists, one male, and no romance. They have bigger issues to worry about.

The Cold Fire series by Kate Elliot has a female protagonist, major female characters through the series, and while there's romance, it's again, not standard.

Heart of Iron by Ekaterina Sedia is a historical quasi steampunk fantasy set in Russia, with other powerful women. It's pretty awesome. It looks like there will be romance but it doesn't really go anywhere.

The Necromancer Chronicles by Gail Z. Martin are excellent epic fantasy. There is romance but it is handled well and it never becomes the Main Plot.

Same with Rae Carson's series starting with Girl of Fire and Thorns.

Daughter of the Sword is an urban fantasy set in Japan with a female protagonist, no romance.

The Diviners by Libba Bray is an urban fantasy set in 1920s New York City, with the female protagonist being a flapper, and the secondary protagonist a black poet and numbers runner. Only secondary characters have romances.

Also in the 1920s urban fantasy, Moonshine and its sequel by Alaya Dawn Johnson is excellent. There is romance but it's fairly minor (it's more important in book two), but the setting is really awesome, especially since the female protagonist is involved both in vampire rights groups and women's reproductive rights (such as trying to popularize use of condoms). It's very different and has plenty of adventure.

I could go on but this is already long. If you want more recc's feel free to ask or PM me. :)
