  2. “Dublin Bay” by John Patrick is a complex #MMRomance.

    James is a seventeen-year-old working-class Irish man just out of school and looking for his first job. He’s picking mussels from Dublin Bay one day to feed his family when he spots another young man his age on the dock. James is mesmerized by the blond youth, Otto, who also seems attracted to James. Otto is German, and he and his father are on the dock seeing off Otto’s mother. It’s 1939, and what will become World War II is just starting in earnest. Otto makes his father buy the mussels from James, and before he knows it, James and his sister Bella are employed by Otto’s father to take care of their home. Otto and James soon become more than friends and are committed to finding a way to be together. As if their relationship weren’t dangerous enough, the two young men do what they can to help refugees from Nazi Germany. It’s a course of action that could get the two killed.

  3. "Davo" is a quirky #mmRomance between a big-city academic and a mechanic who likes to wear skirts set in the rough-and-tumble world of a #contemporary Australian mining camp by N.R. Walker

    When academic researcher Fergus lands in a remote mining camp in the far reaches of Western Australia, he's expecting a change of scenery, but he's totally unprepared for the extreme conditions of the desert, as well as the quirky collection of permanent residents that call the town home. The biggest surprise of all is Davo. The muscular mechanical supervisor has a sunny disposition with a totally disarming smile, and likes to wear skirts. And, nobody bats an eye. Fergus is instantly attracted to the man, and the feeling is mutual. The two quickly form an intimate relationship, but both know there's a time limit on it, since Fergus is only there for a few weeks to interview people before flying back to Sydney.

  4. Today’s review: “Farfall” by J.C. Owens. #fantasy #MMRomance #GayBookReviews

    Andon is unique among the corps of elite griffin riders. He wasn’t born to a noble house. Andon grew up on the streets and then spent most of his youth in the mountains, where he met and bonded with a wild griffin. Griffins and their riders mate for life, so when the pair are discovered, they’re both sent to the training academy and then posted to the frontier fort of Farfall. Neither are really accepted by the troops, who see Andon as beneath them and are suspicious of a wild-born griffin. Andon’s only friend is killed when he and his entire wing are attached by the viscous wiverns. Daren and his four wing members are sent from a neighboring fort to reinforce Farfall. Daren quickly becomes fascinated by Andon, and when he witnesses the bad treatment the weapons officer is subject to, he becomes protective.

  8. “The goblins have been after me ever since I helped the Coven drive them out of Essex. (They were gobbling up drunk people in club bathrooms, and the Mage was worried about losing regional slang.) I think the goblin who successfully offs me gets to be king.”
    ― Rainbow Rowell
