Breakaway by Avon Gale

Save of the Game by Avon Gale

Power Play by Avon Gale

Empty Net by Avon Gale

Coach’s Challenge by Avon Gale

I’ve been a lifelong romance reader (I started reading my mother’s Jude Deveraux and Judy Garland paperbacks when I was 13), but for the past few months I’ve been really into reading LGBTQ romance, specifically m/m romance. I started with the gold standards, Sarina Bowen/Elle Kennedy’s “Him,” N.R. Walker’s “The Weight of It All,” Christina Lauren’s “Autoboyography,” and then Sarina Bowen’s “The Understatement of the Year” before I started searching out other authors/books. Kindle Unlimited has a lot of options, and most of them are…not […]

This is her first series, Made Marian. It centers on the Marian family from San Francisco. The Marians have six biological children, three of whom are gay. When […]

Slightly-better-than-average M/M romance

Fired Up by Riley Hart

Riley Hart wrote  “Fired Up”, and Devon McCormack wrote book #2, “#Burn” (currently […]
