If you don't mind Christian historical fiction, The Mark of the Lion series by Francine Rivers is great, steamy, but not-to-steamy romance series. I'm serious. The author was a romance writer and then converted. But it is definitely Christian in message.

I like the etiquette and espionage series (definitely not that steamy as I recall)
Priory and the orange tree is a very long book and i might hesitate to recc it?
You should see me in a crown is a cute book but not a series

My daughter discovered Alice in Zombieland (the White Rabbit Chronicles) before Twilight and loved it. I think it got steamy, but to be honest she isn't a big reader and flew through them and I just decided to let it go.

The Marissa Meyer Lunar Chronicles books are good (first one is Cinder.) I’d skip Fairest, which is very dark and technically a companion novel and totally skippable.
If you want realistic romance without the sci-fi/fantasy component, To All the Boys I’ve Lived Before or The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han (both have sequels). Or anything by Sarah Dessen.

Six of crows. This wasn’t my favorite but it’s well-written and very popular.
The matched and divergent series were meh but I still enjoyed the first books.
The selection series is also popular but I hated books about a bunch of girls fighting for a mediocre man. I still read them all though.
Another one not to read that somehow gets shelved in young adult: the From Blood and Ash series. Definitely too steamy.
Of all the romance young adult books I have read, the mortal instruments series is just favorite, followed by The Cruel Prince series, followed by the Shatter Me series.
Ahh no, I am wrong! It's not the mortal instruments series, its the Infernal Devices that I like. The Mortal Instruments is an evolution of the author's ginny/ron incest fan fiction, so I totally avoided it!
The infernal devices is series Clockwork Angel, Clockwork Prince, And Clockwork Princess.

Ha, you're welcome. I don't know what came over me but I got really into young adult romance novels over the pandemic/lockdown. Pretty weird for a 37-year old but I totally loved some of these books and it was an excellent escape.

Sorry one more comment and then I will shut up: books I haven’t read and can’t vouch for but I plan on reading because I hear they are good:
Cinderella is dead
Bridge kingdom
The priory of the orange tree (maybe not ya?)
The song of Achilles
Also I can’t believe I forgot hunger games and Percy Jackson. The romance in these isn’t a big plot like though.

Ohhh I know the answer!
The shatter me series (it gets weird at the end but I still loved it).
The cruel prince series.
I’ll come back with more, I don’t want this post to to get lost in a refresh.
Not a court or thrones and roses , that is too explicit for young adults in the later books. Or anything by Sarah J Maas.

My 13 year old has read all of the Twilight books in a week and loves the romance aspect. Any other suggestions? I don't want anything too steamy due to her age but like to see her reading so much.
