Thornfruit by Felicia Davin

The exposition and proper noun-ing at the beginning almost caused me to put this one down. But by the end I enjoyed it so much that I immediately started the next in the series.
This is not a Romance, it is a Fantasy with a romantic sub-plot. I think the romance elements worked quite well, not overshadowing the larger plot but still giving some nice fuel for character development.
I enjoyed the fantasy elements. They were interesting and mostly unique (I'm getting a bit of "Golden Compass" vibe, but I certainly don't think that's a bad thing). They felt fairly well-integrated and easy to understand by the end.
The writing is unobtrusive in a way that I really appreciate in fantasy novels. It's the type of reading that's easy and realistic, to the point that you forget you're reading. Each character felt unique and interesting in their own way.
I'm excited for the next book, and I'm guessing I'll devour the whole series in no time.
