I read and review queer books and manga/webtoons. Mostly MM, MMF and MM.
I know that scholars think this is the great gay novel because the gay protagonist doesn’t die, but fucking hell. This book lies to you on the first page. It’s not a love story. It’s a story about obsession and self-hatred and rape.
I hate this one with a passion.

Pink Heart Jam by Shikke
Despite this starting with a sexual encounter that you pay for, this is surprisingly heartfelt and cute.
There is talk about sexual preferences, and they have a healthy relationship. The commun is good, and that warms my heart.

For my underrated gem of the month, I'm still looking for books that have less than 100 reviews/ratings on goodreads and/or amazon.
It must be queer; it does not have to be romance. I prefer MM, MMM, or MMF.
Please rec me some stuff :)

3.book in a series but can be read as a standalone. I recommend all the other ones as well, as I had a blast with all of them.
Excellent read for lovers of grumpy/sunshine and slow burn that started with a hookup trope.

Adding a very important 🚨THIS IS EROTICA, NOT A ROMANCE🚨 alert, for those who might dive in expecting a HEA/HFN ending. I *do* write queer romance, but 'Riley's Basement' is NOT that.
It is silly, over-the-top, VERY high-heat erotica.

Catch Me If I Fall by Augusta Connor
A lovely short story (under 100 pages) about friendships, moving on, falling in love & acrobatics. All the characters are well written, the setting is intriguing, and the friendship and romance develop at a good pace. 5 stars.

Take over Zone by Minase Masara
This one is about a high school track and field team. There is past trauma, but mostly this is a story about new beginnings, running, friendship, and tender teenage love.
A short, fun read & nostalgic manga experience with pretty art.

I recommend this one to anyone who found Heated Rivalry lacking.
Excellent writing, great & very well fleshed-out characters, really hot sex scenes, good pacing, a fun cast of side characters. This is everything anyone could want after watching Heated Rivalry.

Competitive swimming is a big part of the story. The pool scenes are so good.
This is an excellent piece of writing & art, and I think everyone who enjoys pinning and a younger man pursuing an older one should read it.

This book did not disappoint. I enjoyed it very much. Friends-to-lovers & second chance are tropes that I like a lot.The writing is good, the pacing too, and the characters are interesting and lovable. Their friendship and banter are fun, and their sex scenes are hot.

Act Out by Joe Fuyufusa
This is technically not a romance, but it does have a queer main character, and it could have been. The art is breathtakingly beautiful. The sport is front and center when Nayuki is on the ice or when we get flashbacks from Vasily’s days as a ballet dancer.

Dirty Slide by K.D. Casey & Lauren Blakely
This is a fun, short and sexy read. The story is simple and straightforward, but the characters make up for it. Chris and Josh are well written and fleshed out, the banter is funny.
The sex scenes are well deserved and quite nice.

Not for me. The romance is lacking, the pacing is weird, I didn’t enjoy the sex scenes, hockey seems like a setting only, and Ilya is not very well fleshed out. Based on this book, I would not read another one by the author. There are better #gayHockeyRomances out here.

The art is excellent, the story intriguing. Childhood rivals who become lovers is something I genuinely enjoy. For those of you who haven’t clued in yet, this one is about hockey.
Both Eunsan and Ian are very well written and fleshed out. Would recommend to anyone.

We’re staring it off with Melting Point, the web manga I enjoyed way too much.
So if gay sports romance is your thing, you might want to stick around.

This fantasy MM romance is also poly, which I am so here for. The historical and rural setting really helps sell the main character, Folke a blind shepherd.
This is a well-written fantasy story and perfect for a cozy evening on the sofa.

The characters are well written, the story interesting and the sex scenes are good and hot too. Not too much even for people who usually don’t like BDSM in their romance.

This MM romance is kind of a murder mystery rom-com, and I am here for it.
This book is charming and funny. Ray and Adam are very cute together. The sex scenes are fun and hot, too. If you had a bad day or week, you should read it.
All-round a great read.
