The closest matches
Fourth Wing is the closest thing to SJM's pacing and heat. Dragon riders instead of fae.
From Blood and Ash has the same forbidden-romance energy as early ACOTAR.
Kingdom of the Wicked. Demon princes, Italian setting, enemies-to-lovers.
The Cruel Prince. Sharper, darker, more political. Less romance, more intrigue.
Different but adjacent
The Grishaverse. Less romance-forward but Six of Crows has the heist energy SJM fans love.
The Bridge Kingdom. Tighter, faster, and the arranged-marriage trope done perfectly.
