Recs if you like Mortal Skin (Folk, #1)...

self care romance books in all forms: mutual, solo, IRL, video call, phone, overhearing, walking in on, public space, etc etc.

if you hate the word ‘masturbation’, try: flicking the bean, jerking off, finger banging, rub one out, beat the meat, dj the vj, wanking, jerkin the gherkin, fapping; we can go on for days. whatever you call it, i just hope you reach climax ⛰️ toys encouraged but a hand (or two or three or-) will do just fine.

Non-human romances (one or both partners), fantasy, dystopian, alien, and paranormal. Always open to suggestions!

Romantasy but for the gays. Fantasy in this list includes: magic, fairies/fae, mythical, mystical, supernatural.

GAY Vampires, Werewolves, and monsters of the night.

These books surprised me with how much I ended up liking them. I was expecting a typical gay romance novel with a suggestion of a fantasy world, but these delivered. Some contain monster-adjecent love interests, but I wouldn’t classify them as monster romance as the “monsters” are typical in the fantasy world.

Books with darker tones and themes that still feel cozy and comforting.

monsters and angels and other creatures!!

Books to escape from the mortal world
