(during my search for these, i found a lot of monster romances that used gen ai, so i went through each one to make sure that was not the case. if i missed any, do let me know. if you have any recs, i encourage sharing. ;))

Romantasy and romantic/erotic fantasy reads starring queer characters! (Recs are welcome, but I'd like to encourage uplifting queer authors first and foremost! For series, I'll just put book 1 unless they can be read as standalones!)

Stories featuring transfemme characters (trans women & non-binary characters) as main characters or love interests. Not exclusively, but largely indie. Stretches genres and age groups, including graphic novels & short stories (but not including non-fiction) 🔞

Recommendations welcome!

adult genre romance stories where at least one main character is trans and/or non-binary! i haven’t necessarily read or recommend all the books included here; please lmk if anything is incorrect. Also this list is white and transmasc leaning so def please leave any recs in the comments! i’ve mainly excluded erotica, as my goal for this list is genre romance, but most books listed do contain sexual scenes (varying levels of explicitness)

You heard me. 😏 Monster and alien romance / erotica with scales, tails, and monstrous anatomy delivering otherworldly pleasure. Come and take these lizard men, gator guys, and snake daddies for a ride! 🐉🦎🐍
