A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
4.0

In this retelling of the traditional Scottish tale and ballad of Tam Lin (not Beauty and the Beast, which was written AFTER Tam Lin), Feyre, the youngest of a once-prosperous merchant’s three daughters, has ensured her family’s survival for the past several years. While hunting, she kills a giant wolf – knowing that he was likely Fae. The wolf’s friend comes to avenge him, and takes Feyre to his home beyond the wall between their lands – the Spring Court.

For the first time in many years, Feyre is secure. She has warmth, food, and the time to persue her one true passion of painting. But there are secrets at Tam Lin’s court. She struggles to figure them out while also struggling with feelings for the High Fae Lord. When the secrets are uncovered, Feyre must fight for her life to save not only her lover’s, but all of faekind.

This is a teen book, but could easily be considered a new adult novel. There is some sex in it. Not just allusions to sex, but actual descriptive hot times between two of the characters.
