- Kaneko (The Land of Jade & Fire #2) by @authorcaseymorales.bsky.social is superb storytelling! This HFN Asian-inspired #romantasy has action, hardship, & mysticism. As it opens, the separated lovers are in training -Yoshi as a Samurai & Kaneko to become a pleasure slave. 5+stars! #mmromance #booksky
- Here's a fun puzzle to do while you're waiting for the ball to drop. www.jigsawexplorer.com/puzzles/time... #NYE2026
- If you have an hour of "me time" tonight, I can recommend reading the novella Midnight Fireworks by @blmaxwell.bsky.social. So fun! It's the perfect way to ring in the new year! #mmromance
- @aldreaalien.bsky.social LOL! Kindle Unlimited sent me my Year in Review. It seems To Poison a Prince is my most obscure read of the year, but also my longest read. I love the Spellster universe! The series is highly recommended! #mmromance #romantasy #kindleunlimited25
- Do you think it's obvious that I like to read #mmromance? Love my HEAs! #goodreadsyearinbooks
- Yoshi (Land of Jade & Fire #1) by @authorcaseymorales.bsky.social is superb storytelling. Yoshi & Kaneko are childhood friends, coming of age & realizing their love for each other. Set in a Asian-inspired world of magic, dragons, & pirates. Darkness & danger lurk. #mmromance #romantasy #booksky
- Happy Festivus!! A holiday for the rest of us! Get your aluminum pole out of the crawl space and be prepared to air your grievances. Feats of strength will follow. #Festivus #Seinfeld
- If you're looking for a cozy, feel-good short story romance, read Two of a Kind (Tales from the Windswept City #1) by @rcooper.bsky.social. College student from wealthy family & socially awkward apothecary chemist finally come together as a storm rages. Charming world! #mmromance #booksky
- Unexpected Interlude by #WSLong is an enjoyable short story about two men on a break from each other & what they discover along the way. It's fresh, non-traditional, unexpected, w/a beautiful HEA. Recommended! @jms-books.com #mmromance
- It's been fun and relaxing to watch Meghan Markle's "With Love, Meghan" holiday special on Netflix! I've got some new ideas for celebrating!
- Another winner in the series! The Most Unsuitable Prince (Another Arranged Marriage #8) by @lisaoliverauthor.bsky.social features a spoiled crown prince who refuses to settle down until his father's ultimatum & an undercover prince working on secret missions. Nice HEA! #mmromance #booksky
- Wow! What a superb ending to an enjoyable series! The Lost Art of Life Magic (Bk 4) by @ellie-ash.bsky.social brings together the stories of elemental mages, life mages, demons, and royalty. Mysteries are resolved, love prevails in this dual romance; great HEA! Recommended! #mmromance #booksky
- Still Bruised by @authorkelex.bsky.social is well-written, emotional, high-heat, and healing. Foster & Jude knew each other in HS. Foster was the football captain & Jude the emo boy who was severely bullied. They had a moment. Now, 15 yrs later, they have a chance. Realistic healing arcs. #mmromance
- Masterful storytelling! I loved To Beguile a Banished Lord (Regency Rossingley #3) by @fearnehill.bsky.social. As punishment, an Earl's son is sent to the rural estate of a Duke's brother. It starts as grumpy/sunshine & turns to forever love. Great character development! Funny! #mmromance #booksky
- Woo-hoo!! I just competed my #GoodReads 2025 Reading Challenge! 200 books and just about all #mmromance. I'm looking forward to even more enjoyable reading as the year ends!
- Great start to a news series! Hammer & Powder by @meganderrick.bsky.social is a story of twins military brothers, living in an alternate Asian-inspired world, who encounter battles, betrayals, & danger while finding their true loves. Good world-building & character development. #mmromance #booksky
- The Lost Art of Revealing Hidden Truths (Bk 3) by @ellie-ash.bsky.social is the best book in the series so far! Perian & Brannal, a powerful mage warrior, continue to deepen their relationship. Still, opposition remains & secrets will be revealed. Can't wait for Bk 4! #mmromance #cozyromance
- A Suitable Brat (The Suitable 'Verse Bk 5) by @rcooper.bsky.social is another great story from the Suitable universe. A retiring Outguard regrets he will no longer see a younger, occasional lover. An evening at Solace House changes the course of their lives. Beautiful ending! #mmromance #booksky
- The Fall by #TalBauer is writing at its finest. I don't read sports #mmromance, but I read this one based on the author. It's long, emotional, complex; a story of two hockey players bound by a transcendent love beyond time & space; destined for each other. Well-crafted w/a hard-won HEA. #booksky
- This was another fun book! The Gentlemen's Agreement (Another Arranged Marriage #7) by @lisaoliverauthor.bsky.social is a tale of two princes and a commoner who find their love together among opposition and danger. Very enjoyable! #mmromance #booksky
- The Lost Art of Seducing a Mage Warrior (Bk 1) by @ellie-ash.bsky.social is a cozy romantasy between the head Mage Warrior & the man he rescues from attack. Not so much action; rich in relationships, passion, & a few mysteries. Mostly set in the castle. Looking forward to reading Bk 2! #mmromance
- Always Hope (Guardian Hall #2) by @rjscott.bsky.social is an emotional read about a wounded vet who is the sole survivor of an IED explosion. At a Chicago home for recovering vets, he meets a doctor. Over months, friendship becomes attraction, healing, & love. Beautiful romance! #mmromance #booksky
- I enjoyed reading Don't Judge a Prince by His Undergarments (Another Arranged Marriage #2) by @lisaoliverauthor.bsky.social. A prince who likes wearing frilly undergarments meets a warrior king. It's extreme like at first sight; a marriage contract soon follows. Fun series! #mmromance #booksky
- I loved reading On the Land, We Shoot Straight by @sashaavice.bsky.social. This #mmromance ranch western set in a 1981 rural area, is rich in detail & character dev. Here, men don't talk about feelings and "help each other out". A traumatized man works for a rancher & they slowly discover love.
- Brett and Rowdy by @batortuga.bsky.social is a fun, feel-good second-chance #mmromance between former HS lovers who meet again at their reunion. Sparks rekindle, but one lives on the east coast and the other owns a New Mexico ranch. Of course, they get their HEA. Positive blind rep. #booksky
- Rio (Redcars Bk 3) by @rjscott.bsky.social is so enjoyable! Rio is an ex-con, street-fighter, mechanic w/anger issues. Lyric is a hacker whose AI became sentient & is putting out kill contracts on him. Dark-romance; high-emotions; action; danger; great HEA. Can't wait for Bk 4! #mmromance #booksky
- I loved A Marriage of Necessity (Another Arranged Marriage #5) by @lisaoliverauthor.bsky.social. The entire series is great! Prince Jasper has been (off-pg) kidnapped, abused, & had his eye removed. Traumatized & in danger, his mother arranges a marriage in name w/Prince Avalon. #mmromance #booksky
- It was an enjoyable evening, reading the short story A Heaven to Reach For by @rcooper.bsky.social. A rough older guard and an innocent mage lack the confidence to reveal their feelings for each other. On the festival day of Ara, it's time to tell all. Slow burn. Sweet ending. #mmromance #booksky
- I loved reading Collision of Winters (Hillcroft #4) by @caradeewrites.bsky.social. Two guys who finally get together, pseudo-brothers, daddy kink, primal play, 18 yr age gap. Action, security agency, danger, family/friends, forever love. The entire series is so good! #mmromance #booksky
- I spent a lovely bit of time today reading The Naiad's Lover by @isabelmurray.bsky.social. A short story from the Immortal Bonds world, it focuses on Erik's swim lessons-an effort to join Sayan in traveling his huge lake. Their love is profound and beautiful. Highly recommended! #mmromance #booksky
