Provoked, the first in Joanna Chambers’ Enlightenment trilogy, is set in Regency Scotland, at a time of much political and social unrest.

A story about the love of a father and his son as much as one about romantic love between two men, this is a superb example of Grey’s command of the extraordinary in the everyday ordinary. For readers who wonder what gay romance is all about, this is an excellent place to start reading. Single…
Magical realism pops up in Thomas’ latest and adds a different type of spice to an already heady romance. The magic of one man brightens and enlivens the life of another whose reliable steadfastness helps ground his flighty lover. H. D. Fisher, nicknamed Hound Dog, is something of a dog whisperer in Four-Footed Friends, the…
How does a gay agoraphobic fine artist find love? In the pantheon of opposites attract romances, how artist Miles Caldwell and rock sensation Adam Craig (of Black Varen, the band of the moment) meet and fall in love might be one of the most stirring. After his parents die in a car crash from which…

When he’s a young man, Parrish falls for a budding musician and songwriter…
Peterson fans should be delighted with her newest couple, two career Marines who are on the verge of retiring just as the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy is about to be revoked in 2011. Of all the writers of gay romance who have a handle on what love really is, Peterson outshines them all. Gunner…
I loved Peterson’s Whispering Pines Ranch M/M romance series, but was a little leery about reading this non-series book. The main Whispering Pines characters are older men who are dealing with gay lifestyles and their homophobic neighbors while trying to find true love. Plan B, on the other hand, centers on the college crowd. Would…
