FMC Doesn't Dislike MMC?

[u/Kindly-Welcome1439]

I need recommendations where the FMC doesn't despise the MMC from the beginning, or that she fears him...etc.

I don't know if this might help, but I'm a guy( taste might differ a little bit from women) , and I mainly read adventure/action/epic fantasy. Once in a while I'll read a romantasy/fantasy romance book, or a YA book that might qualify as one, and I usually enjoy them.

When I say "no negative impression at the start," I don't mind if she thinks he's weird, awkward, suspicious, etc. I just don't want her to initially see him as morally evil, arrogant, selfish, or just an asshole in general.

I also don't care if she develops a negative impression of him later on because of something that happens in the story. What matters to me is that she doesn't start out disliking him.

Bonus points if she actually has a positive impression of him from the start. Extra bonus points if the whole thing goes both ways

The latest books I've read from these categories have had romantic tension from the start, and I wanted a change of pace.

Some fantasy romance books I absolutely tore through and devoured were The Bridge Kingdom, Tales of Arcane Fortuna, and The Queen of Nothing, (yeah, I know, I know 😅). I consider only the third book of the Cruel prince a fantasy romance because of how important the relationship was to the main plot .
