7 gay romance books from heartfelt to steamy
A few years ago, “Call Me By Your Name” was the male lover romance we couldn’t get enough of. (Tbt to Toddler Chalamet!)

Well, what if I told you that these three all had one thing in common: They’re based on romance novels! And instead of waiting for the next MM love affair to hit your screen, you can line your shelves with the finest gay romance books that are tearing up TikTok.
1. “Something Fabulous” by Alexis Hall
From the composer of “Boyfriend Material” comes a historical romance novel that will make you laugh and swoon.

Being the romantic that she is, Arabella won’t have anything but a love marriage and runs away in dramatic fashion.

There’s been a boom of LGBTQ romance in recent years, as well there should be, and gender non-conforming historical romance is no exception. Jane Austen was among my first favorite authors, so you know I like a good period romance, and it’s incredible to spot the growing diversity in the historical romance genre. Though, as well all know, that could always use some more work. (Insert most recent migraine-inducing romance book industry drama here.) But these books are the perfect abscond from all that, full of diverse characters and all the representation you so crave. These stories feature sapphic love stories, poly
The Gentleman and the Spy: Ormond Yard #1
Can a lord and valet discover love together in Victorian England?
I'm a enormous fan of British historical gay romance, like that written by K.J. Charles, Merry Farmer, and Meower Sebastian, among others. When I decided to aim my hand at one, I wanted to fixate on the Victorian era—specifically December, 1872. I can’t say exactly why. But I read a lot of Victorian literature in college and graduate institution, so I felt familiar with the era.
I began by with research on the shared tropes. Inheritance is a big one, because many of the grand estates were entailed—they were often tied to a title, and the property could only be inherited by the holder of the title. Younger sons were left to find their own way in the world once their father died. Class differences were also big, and the plan of an upstairs/downstairs adoration was frowned upon. I set out to incorporate those tropes into an MM romance.
Lord Magnus Dawson is the third son of a duke. His oldest brother will inherit, while the second son has been set up with a tea plantation in in Ceylon. Magnus’s father bought him a military commission, but when the Duke became ill, Magnus13 Queer Regency Romances, Because History Wasn't Hetero
Источник: https://alovesotrue.com/queer-regency-romancesIf ever there were an storyteller whose appearance twice on such a list would be utterly unsurprising, it’s Sebastian, who does something particularly notable for lgbtq+ Regency romance here with a male/nonbinary pairing.
The guy in question is Alistair, Marquess of Pembroke, who finds himself wholly attracted to the man who shows up at his door looking for a favor, only to understand they aren't a guy after all, but someone masquerading as an antique friend in order to help get said friend’s sister married off.
It’s all a little complicated, especially since, even as a woman, the person formerly pretending to be Robert Selby wouldn’t exactly be the marrying kind for a marquess.
But when neither one of them can resist the attraction, it’s up to true devote to prevail. (And if you’re wondering if Sebastian’s done f/f Regency too, the answer is yes! Check out A Minuscule Light Mischief, a attractive novella in the Turner Series.)
