Welcome to this week’s hot new releases, 99c deals, and freebies in gay romance! We have some wonderful books on the list this week, including one of my own, so yay!
All deals are valid today, Saturday, March 23, in the US and most of the time the UK, but they may not be valid tomorrow or in all Amazon stores. Please check the price before buying!
This is not a paid list or ads, but simply deals I’ve found and books I’m excited about reading, so all personal recommendations from me. If you have a book you’d like to see listed, you can submit it, but that’s not a guarantee I’ll list it.
New Releases
A Taste of Sin – Kate Hawthorne
A Catholic High School principal and a priest run into each other again and discover old feelings resurface in A Taste of Sin. This is a relatively sweet, high-angst, slightly taboo second-chance romance with a wonderful happy end.
The Bookmobile Baby – Amy Bellows
An omega who tries to hide he can’t slick and thus can’t get pregnant meets an older alpha and they fall for each other. Non shifter mpreg meets daddy kink and May-December with a little kink thrown in, and I’m intrigued in The Bookmobile Baby. 48k words.
Untouched – M.A. Innes
Everything this author writes is a one-click for me anyway, but Untouched even more because it has puppy play. Socially awkward Jay connects with his new roommate Logan and the two discover they have a lot in common. Sexy, sweet kink, love it.
Best Laid Plans – EM Denning
I love it when authors twist conventional tropes, and Best laid Plans is a prime example. In this mpreg romance, alphas are second-rate citizens while omegas rule. A successful omega approaches an infertile alpha to avoid an arranged marriage, but of course, these pesky feelings develop…
99c Deals
The Time of My Life – Nora Phoenix
My stand alone romance The Time of My Life is on sale to celebrate the new cover. Two men meet at a TV singing competition, but Denver is still struggling with a traumatic past and Judah is determined to stay deep in the closet. But when sparks fly and tensions rise because of Denver’s past, Judah has to choose between winning the competition or winning Denver. First time gay meets rock star romance in this sweet, sexy, and emotional read.
Where Nerves End – L.A. Witt
A guy moves in with his acupuncturist since they’re both struggling to make ends meet in Where Nerves End. His attraction to his new roommate is a tad awkward, since the guy is straight. Or is he? (Hint: they never are, haha…)
Guarded Hearts – Louisa Keller
Two men meet and fall in love, but one of them disappears overnight, leaving the other heartbroken. When they meet again after ten years, they have a lot to overcome before their happy end in Guarded Hearts, which is labeled as an enemies to lovers romance.
Chasing Chance – M.E. Parker
A best friends to lovers college romance, Chasing Chance is the first in a series and ends with a HFN. The good news is that the next book will be out soon. This looks like an angsty, emotional, and sexy read.
Change of Heart – Ava Thorpe and Elaine Ashford
A hockey pro offers to help coach his son’s hockey team and ends up connecting with the team’s coach in Change of Heart. Featuring some lovely first time gay, this is a 48k romance from new to me authors.
Unbreak Me – Maria Vickers
Unbreak Me is about two men who thought they were together forever until fate broke them up. Now reconnecting again, they have a long road ahead of them. Looks like a high angst read from a new to me author.
Crossing Swords and Sword Fight – Mixie Edwards
I grabbed the first book in this series for free a few weeks back (it’s 99c now) and now the second book is released for 99c. The Crossing Swords two book series is about the same couple and is a sweet friends to lovers romance with plenty of humor.
Social Sinners: In the Shadows – TL Travis
Social Sinners: In the Shadows is the second book in the Social Sinners series about a heavy metal band and their love lives. The first book is free right now (see below), so a great way to see of you like this series. The first book is a stand alone, but the rest is a continuing series.
Up In Flames – S.C. Wynne
A fireman connects with his new roommate and fellow firefighter in Up In Flames. But the guy is hiding something and it could destroy their relationship.
Aqua Follies – Liv Rancourt
Set in the 1950s, Aqua Follies is the story of two men who meet in a time where being gay was not accepted at all. Can the connection they made survive? A historical romance with what looks to be a good dose of angst from a new to me author.
Buried Passions – Andrew Grey
A successful Broadway actor inherits an estate from his uncle and connects with the hunky groundskeeper when he checks it out in Buried Passions. But he has a career to get back to, so where does that leave them?
Controlled Burn – Erin McClellan
After his boyfriend died in a car crash, Joel is determined not to let anyone close in Controlled Burn. But then he meets Paulie, who is sweet and makes him want more. A new adult, angsty romance with great reviews.
Freebies
Boy Next Door – A.E. Wasp
I love this hockey series (even though I know crap about hockey, haha). Boy Next Door is about a hockey superstar with a carefully constructed image of a party boy who ends up falling for his coach. Sexy and emotional…and free, haha.
Social Sinners: Behind the Lights – TL Travis
Social Sinners: Behind the Lights is clearly set up as the first book in a series about a heavy metal rock band. The second book is 99c (see above). This is a great way to see if you like this series!
Bouncing Back – LA Witt
A former Marine who works as a bouncer steps in when a guy is getting harassed by his abusive boyfriend. They connect, but things are complicated…because they always are, haha. Bouncing Back is a stand alone romance from this prolific author.
Omega Bloodlines – Kaia Pierce
An alpha-prince who has to stop being a party boy after his father dies unexpectedly connects with an omega who is a commoner in Omega Bloodlines. I love me some royals, so yes please.
Anchor of My Heart – Geoffrey Knight
A young, super successful business guy runs into the one man he could never forget: his estranged stepfather. Anchor of My Heart is a novella but I love me a little stepdad taboo, so I’ll take it.
I really appreciate your efforts to assemble these lists. It’s a great way to try new authors and tropes economically. 💖
I know, right? I’ve found some great new authors this way.
Nora,
I purchased THE TIME OF MY LIFE.
I had most of the books already, but always find a couple nice selections.
Thanks!
This week I not only picked up your book but almost all the rest also. Thank you for introducing me to new authors. And thanks for the heads up on new releases I might not have found. Certainly grateful every week.
Excellent list. Bought everything I didn’t have (Or KU’d). Thank you so much for putting this together.
You’re welcome! Glad you could score some great deals.
Love this! Got a few including yours! Thanks! One I really was interested in “Change of Heart” by Ava Thorpe isn’t discounted. It’s still $3.99. Is that a mistake? I’d love to give it a shot but I’m on a budget atm. Thanks for all these awesome recommendations!!! 🙂
Ugh, that means the price went up during the day because I checked it before the post went live. Sorry!
Would have liked to try time of my life, but still over $6.00 here, so will have to wait until I have some extra cash. I did pick up the free rock band book though, always love a rock star😊
thank you Nora you are awesome
