Romance novel gay books


The world of gay romance 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 dark and gritty, or something that’s the literary equivalent of a basket of puppies? Whatever it is that floats your romance 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 possible.

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 speak that straight women can’t, or shouldn’t, write gay romance novels. You’ll discover several (including some of my absolute favorites!) on this list. You’ll also

But I suspect I’m not the only lesbian out there who enjoys a light, unchallenging tiny romp into gay romance. Whether you’re looking for sizzling sex scenes, tender coming-of-age tales, historical romance or kitchen-centric love, we’ve got you covered. Disseminate your favorites in the comments!
