Intersectionality, baby! Disability includes many conditions, including - but not limited to - physical disabilities, chronic illnesses, psychiatric disabilities, sensory disabilities, and neurodivergence.

These audiobooks do accents so badly they'll give you second-hand embarrassment. Please let me know what books I should add to this list.

Are you tired of how white MM sports romance is?? Gather round, homos!

🤎At least one of the MMCs is a person of colour 🤎

*includes bi & pan characters and everyone under the queer & trans umbrella

Sport (fictional + real) and competition queer romance recommendations!

Feel free to leave your own recommendations in the comments and I will add them to the list! :)

Recommendations welcome! Also, I have not read all so if some are misplaced, let me know!

Exactly what it says! Done watching Heated Rivalry? Waiting for the rest of the Game Changers books to come in at the library? I've got you covered!

Also a good list if you're dipping your toe into thinking about romance as 'real' reading - these books will give you nuance, social justice, magic systems, empowerment, and all of them will give you supportive queer love and nice warm feels. Not all sports, though there's many of those in here. Welcome to reading romance, friends!

fun/casual lgbt books. predominantly contemporary romance, trying to avoid lit fic. more for when i am looking for a palette cleanse.

A sports list to swoon over in 2026. Contains , F1 , Hockey, Football (UK soccer) , Bull Riding, etc

Always updating ranging from YA to 18+

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.

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

most of these ive read a few i haven’t but they’re all gay ! most of it is hockey :)

July is Disability Pride Month! Here's a big pile of books with disabled characters. All the books also have at least one queer character, and in most cases, the queer character and the disabled character are one and the same. (There are a few non-fiction titles in the mix as well; representation for queerness may be subtext/interpreted). (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)

queer hockey romance books

Pushing against ableism.

At least one of the main characters has a disability. The disability may or may not be a central plot point.
