Recs if you like Goal Lines & First Times...

Books about asexuality, be they non-fiction or novels. Everyone should read at least one asexual book from time to time.

Rep is usually the main character but sometimes side characters. 🏳️‍🌈 ♠️

Yes, demi folks are included on this list!

Looking for romance & erotica with 🍆-to-🍆 action? Glide into the world of frotting with these sexy queer reads!

Frotting—a form of frottage (the sexual act of rubbing one’s body on something) like tribbing & scissoring—involves two or more 🐔s rubbing together.

With this list, frolic into frotting across subgenres, from monster erotica to sports romance.

Have any recs, especially those featuring non-cisgender 🍆? Slide them into the comments!

Fiction and non-fiction in which a main character, prominent supporting character, or narrator is canonically/confirmed to be on the asexual (ace) spectrum.

📓Canon: Confirmed by either the text or original creator. (Subtextual/implied and circumstantial characters can be found on my other ace list)

❕Disclaimer: I have not read all these books. Please feel free to correct me in the comments if I have made a mistake in my research. Or if you have any new titles to recommend.

Stories featuring demi leads, for those of us who live vicariously through our books✨

Demisexuality may not be explicitly disclosed or outright discussed in these books; I did my best to find stories with a main lead that presents as demi. Recs are encouraged!!

Whether it's about the romance or the sport or both, these books at the very least contain characters who practice and/or care about sports, are part of the LGBTQIA+ community, and possibly do the kissy

Queer romance set in, on, around, or a stone's-throw-away-from a hockey rink. Pro-level, Ivy league or Rec-level, we don't discriminate here.

The Sadenverse is a shared universe spanning multiple series by Saxon James and Eden Finley, both individually and co-written. There’s no single “correct” reading order, but some books contain minor spoilers depending on where you start. With over 25 books (and more on the way), a suggested reading order exists, though it doesn’t follow publication dates. Whether you dive in randomly or follow the guide, the Sadenverse offers a vast, interconnected world to explore.

queer hockey romance books

Romance between men where one or both of the MMCs are athletes. If a couple has more than one books only the first book is going to be added on the list.

Demisexual and Demiromantic rep in romance stories. Lots of queer stories because, let's be real, the community does a better job of creating stories that represent different types of characters and giving them their HEA. Plus, I think demisexual is part of the asexual bucket and thus part of the LGBTQ+ conglomerate.

Long live the "I need to know you as a person before I can feel sexual attraction to you" without purity, religious ethics, or pearl clutching being the backbone of that situation.

If like most people, you’ve read Heated Rivalry and are craving more, here is a big list of mlm hockey romances!

Please note i have not read most of these, so i cannot tell you the tropes or content warnings. I do believe nearly all of these have smut.
