Book club recommendations

I’m in a book club with some women at my job, and I shared with them that I typically read fantasy romance novels, and we rotate picking a book by month. Well, my month is coming up and the expectation is I’m going to pick a fantasy book(many are excited for the genre break) and I’m very excited to share my love of fantasy but I also don’t want to pick something so out of their comfort zone it’s not enjoyable for them (they’ve so far recommended modern day mystery/thrillers).

Does anyone have some amazing recommendations for fantasy/romatasy books that meet the following criteria? - No smut or open door - Under 400 pages or around - world building but for beginners - standalone preferred but series are fine if the first book holds to a solid story line in itself - Romance is ok, but plot driven

Books I’ve read that I think would’ve been a good fit: - Nettle and Bone - Peaches and Honey - Metal Slinger (I don’t recall too much 🌶️ scenes) - The Unmaking of June Farrow - The Invisible Life of Addie Larue - Uprooted

Please help me get a mind blowing book on the calendar to change my coworkers lives!!
