Below, you’ll find my favorite MM Romance books, and many of my fellow listeners will agree with me that these are among the best MM Romance audiobooks out there!
I have to admit though, for a long time, M/M was a part of the Romance genre I refused to touch. It felt like Men loving Men and gay Romance got hyped by readers a whole lot more than Women loving Women and lesbian books.
And it somehow felt like these two were in competition for M/F readers and listeners. Fortunately, I was wrong!
In the last couple of years, queer Romance books of all varieties are getting a lot more attention. And Romance fans can find more gay Romance books written by gay men!
There are so many amazing authors of MM Romance books out there that I wouldn’t want to miss anymore. So, without further proclamations and explanations, I give you a whole bunch of absolutely beautiful MM Romance books – some scorchingly hot ones, some sweet ones, some super funny ones, and some angsty ones.
Two guys for every mood!

I’m not entirely sure I would call PK, the hero of Book Boyfriend, my new book boyfriend. He sure is… a lot! But that’s the thing, he is absolutely, disarmingly himself!
Book Boyfriend is a wonderfully fun, heartwarming meta Romance about a guy who can’t tell his best friend that he’s in love with him. So instead, he writes a Romance novel about a guy who is in love with his best friend.
Pete Cross brought it all to life so charmingly! I’m a big fan of Kris Ripper and zir adorable queer rom-coms.

I’m So Not Over You is a super fun Romantic Comedy! It’s a second chance meets fake dating storyline, which is already a winner trope combo, in my opinion.
It’s solely from the point of view of Kian, who is an extremely likable protagonist. He is, at the same time, a person with many insecurities but also has a very sharp tongue that gets him in trouble quite a few times.
Hudson, Kian’s ex, asks him to pretend that they are still together for a cousin’s wedding – a huge affair since Hudson’s family is very rich.
Personally, I really liked that Kian and Hudson didn’t break up over one big misunderstanding, as we see so often. Instead, we learn more about Hudson through Kian’s eyes, and it’s explained between the lines why things happened the way they happened, how, sometimes, you can be meant for each other but still not get things right the first time around.
The narration by Timothy Bell Reese is absolutely fantastic and had a big part in me enjoying this audiobook so thoroughly!

Troy is a Hockey player who chose to stay in the closet. The homophobic slurs he encounters in games put him off any thoughts of coming out.

Going Public is a wonderful, slightly suspenseful MM Romance novel about a millionaire who’s a bit of a player and his demisexual virgin assistant.
I loved how these tropes were handled here, how the two men treat each other so respectfully and always consider the other’s wishes and experiences. They know each other so well and are very considerate and careful with each other. It’s intensely romantic!
That, together with the additional suspenseful plot, makes this an all-around entertaining story. And I absolutely adored the narration by Tyler Tetsuda!

I was excited to “find” your blog this morning. Doing a search on the difference between dual vs duet narration led me here and thank you for this information. I immediately signed up for your newsletter ☺️
In romance, MM is the genre I listen to and read most often. When Audible had its Audible Escape plan I found so many new authors and narrators, including T.J. Klune. I agree that this is an author worth listening to. Oftentimes I’m exercising when I listen to an audiobook; T.J. Klune’s “Tell Me it’s Real” made me laugh repeatedly …. it was difficult to exercise while listening to it.
I look forward to receiving your newsletters and recommendations.
So happy you found my audiobook blog – and that you like what you found 🙂 And that you even left a comment! I’ve recently listened to Why We Fight and How To Be A Normal Person by T.J. Klune. They were so good!
Oh my god! Thank you so much. You made my day listing Unscripted with such great books!
I love Hale and Quell so much!!
Oh! You forgot ‘Goodbye Paradise’ by Sarina Bowen. One of the best stories I’ve ever listened to, period. Check it out. and thanks!
