2018 best gay romance novels

One great gay werewolf romance novel is 'Howl at the Moon' by TJ Klune. It beautifully weaves the story of a human falling in love with a werewolf, exploring themes of acceptance and self - discovery within the context of a supernatural relationship.

Another one might be 'Boyfriend Material' by Alexis Hall. It's a fun and light - hearted take on gay romance. The characters have great chemistry and the plot has some really cute and humorous moments that make it an enjoyable read for those who like this genre.

Another notable one is 'Giovanni's Room' by James Baldwin. Although not strictly a traditional vampire romance, it has elements of forbidden love and the exploration of identity in a way that can be related to the genre. The story is set in Paris and delves deep into the main character's struggle with his feelings for another man.

Another excellent choice is 'Red, White & Royal Blue' by Casey McQuiston. This novel combines a charming enemies - to - lovers story with elements of politics. It features a relationship between the First Son of the United States and a prince of the United Kingdom. It's a fun, heartwarming read full of humor and steamy moments.

One of the best for beginners is 'The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue'. It combines historical settings with a love story. The main character Monty is full of energy and his relationship with Percy is full of tension and love. The adventure aspect of the story also makes it interesting for those just starting out in this genre. And 'Less' has a very accessible writing style. The main character's journey both in terms of his career and his love life is something that new readers can easily follow and enjoy.

I would recommend 'The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue' for a great nerd gay romance. It's set in the 18th century and follows Monty, a rakish young nobleman, and his best friend (and secret love), Percy. Monty is a bit of a disaster - prone nerd in his own way, especially when it comes to his feelings for Percy. 'Less' by Andrew Sean Greer is another. The main character, Arthur Less, is a somewhat bumbling and nerdy writer who goes on a journey around the world that also becomes a journey of self - discovery and love. It has a very charming and unique style.

Well, 'Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe' is a must - mention. It's a beautifully written novel about two boys growing up and their relationship evolving. It's not just a romance but also a story of self - discovery.

A good beginner - friendly gay paranormal romance novel is 'Midnight Hunters' by Amber Kell. It has simple yet engaging paranormal aspects like werewolves and a straightforward gay relationship. 'Infected: The Shinigami Virus' by Andrea Speed is also a great choice. It has a unique paranormal virus concept and a lovely gay romance. 'The King's Men' by Nora Sakavic has some political intrigue along with a gay relationship in a somewhat paranormal - like setting.
