Recommended Posts

Hello,

I love gay romance since I am gay myself but most of the romance are to much focused on sex.

 

Sex is welcomed when it is necessary but too much is hard to take.

 

Are there any Books which are focused more on the romance part?

 

Like authors Ann-Katrin Byrde, R. Cooper.[/COLOR]

 

Can anyone recommend books that are focused on Romance mostly or just slice of life with gay characters.

I loved "In the middle of somewhere" series. All three books were a lot of fun, and, while there was some hot sex, it was never a focus of the book. It's a trilogy and every book centers around a different relationship with a different dynamic. I recommend wholeheartedly:D

 

If you're open-minded and you can read a story about werewolves, "Wolfsong" is also a good choice. Sex is introduced very late into the story, and it's never the main driving force for the characters. The romance doesn't start right away, taking its time to introduce the characters and set up a story, but once it does, wow it's good:D

 

I haven't read that many BL books so far, so hopefully other users will give you some more recommendations:D

My pleasure:D I'll let you know if/when I read something else that might suit your taste:D

 

Upd: All's Fair series by Josh Lanyon was pretty fun. It's a mystery novel, so it's not exactly slice of life, but I enjoyed the mystery in the books, and I'm pretty picky about that.:) But the sex scenes are pretty hot, even if they are not that frequent.

 

All's Fair series was recommended to me by my sweet and awesome

pal, that's good. i loved meeting guys who have similar mindset like me : )

true, i liked romance as well. tho i don't think i'm that romantic ha.. All Fair's by Josh Lanyon is good. Highly recommend that. In fact I loved almost every books by JL. But how about try these first:

- Adrien Mystery series by Josh Lanyon

- Holmes & Moriarity series Josh Lanyon

- Ghost on my couch by L.A.Gilbert

- The Lion & The Crow by Eli Easton

- Raven's Rest by Stephen Osborne

- Tigers & Devils by Sean Kennedy

 

Do you read YA/NA? here are some of my fave

- Willful Machines by Tim Floreen

- Fortitude Smashed by Taylor Brooke (oh so good)

- We Are the Ants by David Shaun Hatchinson

 

all these can be found in the download section. i got more but these i remember in instant haha..i'll let you know later. happy reading, pal!

 

p/s: i don't remember which books have gay MC & which books have bi/curious MC. hope you don't mind tho

Thank you very much guys for your recommendation:Jumping around:

 

I will try them out.

Also here are some from me :

1. Safe and Sound (Twist of Fate #2) by Lucy Lennox

[ THis has nice plot and caring for each other is the thing I crave most in a Romance novel which is here]

2. Mercy Hills Pack by Ann-Katrin Byrde

[Even though it is about werewolfe it has more humenly plot in my opinion and a very nice series. Her other books are awsome too and the books I read of her are mostly based on romance]

3. Beings in Love series by R. Cooper

[i am currently reading 3rd book from this series It is also based on love cause there is no single mention of sex in there as where I am now]

4. Taming the beast by Andrew grey

[this is like the gay version of beauty and the beast but it is nice]

5. Regent's Park Pack series by Annabelle Jacobs

[even though it is full of hot sex the way the characters care for each other and feel for each other is touching]

oh crap, even when I was typing it I wasn't sure, so I decided to take a 50/50 chance xD

 

Thanks for the recommendations! I'll probably check out most of them too:D I'm curious to ask - have you ever read Stealing Innocents? I know it's not the kind of book you would enjoy now, but you told me that before you read rapey stuff as well.. I finished it two days ago and I still can't stop thinking about it, so I need someone to talk about it:D

I'm curios about Safe and Sound - can you read this book without reading the first one in the series? And I'm reading Regent's Park at the moment, and I completely agree with you - it's awesome and it's different from most of the shifter series in a sense that it's not just holes and sticks:D (or "w pound that a$$ w that dick" as

would say:D - I really liked this one xD)

 

Anyway, thank you so much for the recommendations!! I left with more books on my to-read list from this thread than you:D:D

WOLFSONG!!! READ IT!!! Pleeeeeease!

 

Upd: sorry once presented an opportunity (you considering reading a shifters series is rare:)), I had to take it, but seriously. The Regent's park we're talking about is pretty nice, but it's really nowhere as good as Wolfsong:D

 

And no, I liked that phrase too much to ever let you forget it..^^ It gave me a nice visual and a desire to check out gay porn for the first time in my life:D

Mochi yes you can read "Safe and sound" without reading the 1st part. In the 1st part I was so angry with Aiden cause he was a jerk But in 2nd book I can't help but to love him.

if I follow your logic, I have a big problem: my current boyfriend is gay:D And I guess I like it this way...? I'm confused xD (he is a wolfie though, so that's good xD)

 

What are you reading right now, I'm curious?:D

mm...any specific books you recommend? 80 percent of my reading list has your seal of approval already anyway:D

 

 

As for ViCtor,

 

didn't you tell me you felt very similar to the main character? Wait, are you telling me, you would like to date YOURSELF? Crap, pal, you have to talk to someone about it.That's just.. Self-cest?

 

 

And I'm looking forward to reading that series:D You have gotten me excited for this:D

 

As for my imaginary boyfriend, Tucker from All's Fair comes pretty close. Come on, the sex scenes were hot:D even if we're talking about romance in this thread..

Too bad I'm not a masochistic bottom.

 

And I love the characters from Wolfsong, but not as boyfriends, because I don't like the whole fated mates thing, because that just leaves it to chance, no? I like to have a choice:D

what can i say. i live by the infamous motivational quote, all time fave; love yourself more or some crap like that haha.. oh, tucker. he was a gorgeous man. good choice, mate. fated mate like a soul mate? i'm okay w the story line. i think it's romantic? also, mate, fortitude smashed is a book about soul mate. so yeah hope you'll enjoy it as much as i do.

I think you took the quote one step too far xD But I can see the appeal:D (Actually there is even a manhwa about a guy who turned into a girl and went to the past to date himself:D I didn't get too far into the story, not really my thing, but it exists and we should all appreciate this fact:D)

 

Wolfsongs gets only better the more you read it, so I'm so happy!!!

 

Fated mates is less like soulmates more like instalove because of the smell or crap like this. Like you meet someone and know this is the one for you for all your life and you can't ever love anyone else. It's very popular with shifters and I hate it.. I like it when you meet a person, you get to know him, you spend time together and then you make a CHOICE to love this person, to be with this person.. not just get horny because he smells nice:D But then I might be a romantic xD

 

But Wolfsong did talk about choice a bit, and it's not a big part of the story and it's amazing, so I can still like it:D

 

Fortitude Smashed will be read soon, and I will let you know what I think:D But so far you haven't failed me once:D

are you sure you want to know the spoiler? Pairing is a big part of the story, are you one hundred percent sure you want me to proceed with giving you a spoiler?
