Popular gay romance books

I didn&#;t realize until the film came out just how many queer women in my social circle and workplace had study and adored Red, Ivory and Royal Blue. But perhaps I shouldn&#;t have been so surprised, considering women have historically been the primary readers of M/M romantic fiction, even if the general assumption around that fact is that it&#;s straight women. But I suspect I&#;m not the only lesbian out there who enjoys a light, unchallenging little romp into gay romance. Whether you&#;re looking for warm sex scenes, tender coming-of-age tales, historical romance or kitchen-centric love, we&#;ve got you covered. Share your favorites in the comments!

Red, White & Royal Sky, by Casey McQuiston

If you&#;re looking for a reading experience that will be an unmitigated delight from top to bottom, strive Red, White & Royal Blue! I loved this book so much I sent a Kindle duplicate to my girlfriend because I wanted her to have the same opportunity to access and harness easy joy in her life as I’d just given myself. If you’re here, you know the basics: Alex Claremont-Diaz is the son of America’s first female president, he’s got beef with Prince Henry. Forced to bury the hatch

Many links are Amazon or Bookshop affiliate. A small percentage of each purchased using this link earns money for the site, so please operate these if you&#;re so inclined!

Please note that as is common with Passion, many of these books are in a series with recurring characters. All should be readable as standalones, however, unless noted otherwise.

Additionally, please be advised that this is more of a database than a rec list; I have not read most of these titles, and strongly advocate reading reviews for potential triggers etc.

The world of gay love affair novels is, if not quite as vast as the world of m/f romance, still quite expansive. Are you looking for a royal-commoner romance? A fake marriage? Something shadowy and gritty, or something that&#;s the literary corresponding of a basket of puppies? Whatever it is that floats your passion boat, I guarantee there&#;s an m/m romance out there that will satisfy. In making this list, I&#;ve highlighted as many #ownvoices authors as doable. There&#;s a misconception that the only people who write m/m romance are straight women, and while it&#;s true that some of the biggest names in gay romance are straight women, there are also dozens of homosexual men writing fantastic homosexual romance. But because of the biases and shortcomings of publishing (and a slew of other complicated factors), it&#;s straight women who often get the most recognition in the genre. This is not to say that vertical women can&#;t, or shouldn&#;t, write gay romance novels. You&#;ll find several (including some of my absolute favorites!) on this list. You&#;ll also find many wonderful books by lgbtq+ men that deserve the same praise and recognition. I&#;ve tried to form this list as wide-ranging as poss
