With the queerphobia dust-up in the fandom the last few days, I was inspired to put together a list of a bunch of queer romance novels that I've read in the last couple months and have liked. Some are adult and some YA. I've added the content warnings that I can remember.

London Calling series (Boyfriend Material and Husband Material) by Alexis Hall

Charles: Learning to Love by Con Riley There are five books in this series. CW for explicit sex scenes. 

The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun

Icebreaker by A. L. Graziadei

Glitterland by Alexis Hall  CW for explicit sex scenes. 

Pitching Tents by Mari Thorne

Simply An Enigma by Brittany Evans

Arden St. Ives Series by Alexis Hall Three books in this series. CW for BDSM and explicit sex scenes. Sort of a gay Fifty Shades of Gray but so much better than the og.

Something Fabulous by Alexis Hall CW for explicit sex scenes.

Montague Siblings Series (Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue; The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy) by Mackenzi Lee

If This Gets Out by Sophie Gonzales

Kiss & Tell by Adib Khorram Pitching Tents by Mari Thorne

Simply An Enigma by Brittany Evans

And she was so indignant about it, too. Like, sorry I wrote a book you really enjoyed? 

If you like the idea of a 1980s romance between an later-in-life-coming-out lesbian and her sweetheart of a vampire, please consider reading this stand alone novella. It is ‘set in a series’ but that’s just in case you like the world so you have other things to do when you’re done. ;-) 

Peach Season, Catherine Fletcher's debut short story, set in the Niagara wine country, is a taste of summer on a long December evening.

Ambassador Mahit Dzmare arrives in the center of the multi-system Teixcalaanli Empire only to discover that her predecessor, the previous ambassador from their small but fiercely independent mining Station, has died.

Why did I want to read? This science fiction book has a main f/f pairing, and after finishing This is How You Lose the Time War I wanted more sapphic speculative in my life.

Gosh I love making these little marketing images for Instagram. They make me feel so fancy. 

Upcycle My Heart is the second novel in my Quaint City series. The series itself is a collection of standalone, low conflict stories set in the fictional town of Quaint City. I want to keep the stories standalone but with the same cast of characters because I wanted the feeling of checking in on your friends from time to time. Characters from the first book, Seams a Bit Queer, will appear in Upcycle My Heart.
