Best M/M Romance Books Releasing June 2024
The Hookup Mix-up by Riley Hart
Perry
I moved to San Luco to get to know my brother, and so far, it’s been great. Working as a bartender at Shenanigans, a bar close to Franklin University, there are beautiful men and women everywhere. When a hot guy falls into my arms at a party, I’m down for some naughty fun. Until I realize he’s way too drunk for anything to happen. Thankfully, we agree to meet up the next day.
One near-kiss later, I discover Theo has no idea I’ve been hitting on him. He thinks we’re hanging out as buddies, and to my great regret, says he’s straight. How did I misread this situation when I thought he was giving me all the right signals?
Theo
Perry thinks I’m a nine…a nine! Sure, I’m not into dudes, but it’s flattering that someone as attractive as him thinks I’m hot. Despite the confusion, Perry and I click and agree to keep hanging out. The more time I spend with him, the more I realize there’s a part of myself I’ve been ignoring. One that’s super bi and wants Perry as more than a friend.
Trying to study with him makes things hard for me…below the belt. Unfortunately, his abandonment issues have him open to a fling and nothing more, while I’m catching feelings in a big way. Can I be satisfied with a hookup? Or should I find a way to convince him to take a chance on making this something real?
Riley Hart kicks off the Franklin U 2 series with The Hookup Mix-Up.
The original Franklin U series was amazing, so I love that these authors are bringing it back. Honestly, I see myself reading every single book in the series.
I have to say, I love the tie in of Perry being Ty’s half brother. I am excited to get more Ty and Brax together.
This looks to be a pretty fluffy and fun read.
One More Time by Rory Lector
Release Date: June 8th
Tyler Riley never thought he’d get the chance to leave home. In the small, coastal town of Perth, Australia, he can only dream of being the next big hockey star. But as luck would have it, opportunity knocks in the form of a prestigious hockey scholarship. Torn between his devotion to his family and his career, Tyler puts everything on the line to start over halfway across the world.
Brooding Bostonian Hunter Graves has one goal in mind: head down, focus on his career. A chance encounter with a transfer student from Australia, however, throws a wrench in his plans. Unbeknownst to him, Tyler is not only a fellow student—but his new teammate. Helmets clash on and off the ice, creating a level of tension that neither man can ignore.
Tyler dreams of a pro hockey career, but at what cost? Hunter finds himself falling for the new guy in town, but can he break down that wall he’s hidden behind all these years?
With every electrifying clash on the ice—and in the bedroom—One More Time takes readers on a rollercoaster journey of love and self-discovery. Do these two men have what it takes to prove that love can truly conquer all?
A new-to-me hockey M/M romance author! Yay!
I am a known lover of M/M hockey romance (check out my Best Hockey M/M Romances book list), so this book immediately grabbed my attention.
Throw in an Australian, some found family, and a gay awakening and I think we have a winner here! I can’t wait to give it a go!
Bound to the Wild Fae by Tavia Lark
Folly is a fortuneteller, according to the sign outside his tent. Actually, he’s a nervous wreck and a total fraud. His golden eye might be magical, but Folly doesn’t see the future. He sees the fae: dangerous, beautiful creatures lurking in the shadows between realms. Avoiding the fae keeps Folly safe—
Until a misfired curse binds him to one.
Yarrow is a wild fae. Half fae, half other, and all seductive confidence. He’s on a quest to slay a monster and earn his place in the summer court. An easy task for a warrior like Yarrow.
Not so easy when the monster’s curse tethers him to a terrified human.
Now, Folly and Yarrow can’t leave each other’s proximity without agonizing pain. Folly is desperate to return home, but to break the curse, he has to follow the intimidating Yarrow into a world full of the creatures he’s spent his life hiding from.
And Yarrow’s familiar homeland seems far deadlier when he has a tiny, fascinating human to protect.
Tavia Lark! She can do no wrong.
After devouring her Perilous Courts series and enjoying every second of it, I am now convinced I will love anything she writes.
I cannot wait to get my hands on her latest book, but I do have to admit that I am in a bit of an M/M fantasy romance slump. I am just having a lot of trouble getting into them.
I will probably circle back to this book when my head is on straight again.
A Stealthy Situation by Saxon James
Harrison
My life’s goal? Make plants fun!
I’m gonna be fighting for flora when I’m older and it all starts with auditing stats so I can level up for my masters, and lucky for me, the intriguing guy in my class is a math whizz.
He’s standoffish at first, but after a class where I bet my sitcoms can make him laugh, one bet leads to another and we’re hanging out all the time. Even though I know he’s interested in me, we’re easy friends, until I start to think I might be a little interested in him, too.
The only problem? He seems like a totally different guy in class to when we hang out. I brush it off as him trying to concentrate, but then I spot something I can’t explain away.
A scar. On his palm.
One I’m positive Benny has never had before.
Benny
Since we were little, my twin brother and I have always switched things up–literally. It started as funsies, and now we’re college juniors and still taking each other’s classes. I suck at Math, he sucks at English, and we both have a rule not to make friends in class as the other person. Our system is perfect.
Only Emmett has the audacity to get sick right before stats and I have to actually show up for my own class–where I meet my future husband.
Harrison is smart, weirdly into plants, and we instantly hit it off like old friends.
Only of course the gorgeous mountain of a nerd is straight.
Just when I’m telling myself to let my dreams of matching rings go, our text messages become constant, flirtier, deeper than I’ve had with any other guy before. My butterflies have butterflies every time we catch up.
And then I get a text from Emmett: I’m so sorry. I think I messed up.
Guys! Benny is West and Asher‘s little brother!
Sorry for yelling, but I had to spell it out for you because somehow it went over my head the first time I read the blurb. Emmet and Benny are the twins from the CU Hockey series all grown up and in college!
I can’t tell you how much I love a good call back and seeing characters from previous books.
I thought the twin twist was fun and exciting, but now that I am clued in I am even more pumped to read A Stealthy Situation!
Off Sides by Andi Jaxon
Senior year should have been the same as the previous years: football, hook ups, and homework.
But after the season ended, somehow, Joey Carpenter happened.
He’s weaseled his way under my skin. Into my heart.
The strong, intimidating, hockey player melts so beautifully for me and I’m addicted.
He pretends like he doesn’t need anyone, but I see him.
See what he really needs.
The longing to be cared for is there in his eyes.
I desperately want to give it to him.
If I’m being honest with myself, I need to matter.
I need to save him.
Save him from himself.
Save him from his family.
Will I be able to convince him that he deserves to be loved without conditions or will they leave him ragged and broken?
Off Sides is the third book in the Darby U Hockey Boys series by Andi Jaxon.
I absolutely loved the first book in the series, Hidden Scars, but the second book, Blurred Lines, was just okay.
I am hoping that Off Sides brings back the same magic from the first book in the series and knocks my socks off.
The inclusion of daddy vibes definitely hints towards this book really working for me!
Wreaking Havoc by Grae Bryan
Sascha has always felt powerless, the weak baby of a cruel family. But that’s fine. He has his looks, his ample allowance, and a smattering of one-night stands to keep him busy. But when Sascha’s oldest brother offends the wrong people, Sascha finds himself in hiding with a target on his back. And when poking around in his temporary home leads to accidentally summoning the hottest demon Sascha could ever imagine, he has to ask himself: does he want to feel powerless anymore?
Kai has been waiting centuries for a summons. When he’s at long last brought to the human realm for his final contract, he expects to find another warrior hungry for battle and bloodshed. Instead, he finds himself bound to a saucy, scared mobster princeling who can’t stop looking at Kai like he’s dinner. It isn’t long before Kai decides that—for once—he wouldn’t mind staying exactly where he is, with a certain human for his mate.
But Sascha isn’t used to anyone sticking around, let alone caring for him in any real way. It’s up to Kai to convince Sascha he can give him so much more than protection. He just has to deal with those pesky enemies—and Sascha’s own meddling family—first.
I recently read Grae Bryan‘s book, Colin, and really enjoyed myself, so when I saw this latest release from her I was super interested.
The blurb we get for Wreaking Havoc looks really good. What’s more fun than a little demonic summoning to find the love of your life?
I will definitely check this one out!
Batting Style by Louisa Masters
Blaise
There are a few things I know for sure: I’m gay, I want to do costume design for film and television, and a supportive family is what other people have. Oh… and fate’s not my biggest fan. That’s fine, though—who needs fate? I’ve got friends I love, a welcoming community, and a plan. Graduate college? Check. Build up my portfolio? Whenever I can. Impress industry pros? Done. Save the money for my dream internship? Working on it. All I’ve gotta do is stick with the plan, and that internship is mine next year.
And then Jordan Marks walks into my life, and my plan turns into a loose guideline. Suddenly I’m learning about baseball and giving away shifts at work so I can watch him play. My goals are the same, but maybe there’s room in them for the world’s sweetest athlete.
Jordan
I’m pretty sure the gods of baseball don’t care if I wear a suit on game day, but Franklin U and Coach do, so when mine rips, replacing it is an urgent mission. That’s how I meet Blaise Warner and my “I guess I could be bi” musings become full-blown “I wanna learn to handle a bat” demands. Blaise is smart, talented, and has goals… and he’s more than happy to teach me a new batting style.
But as we go from casual to more, the things I never mentioned—like my dads’ connections in the entertainment industry—become heavy secrets. Plus, while our friends know we’re dating, nobody else does. That’s not fair to Blaise, but do I really want to be the latest queer college ball player?
I don’t get a chance to figure it all out before things fall apart, and now we both have to decide what our real priorities are.
Batting Style seems like such a sweet read.
I think this will be an interesting read as I only really know Louisa Masters as an M/M fantasy romance writer. This book seems like a leap from the norm for her.
Also, I love the idea of a sweet jock bi awakening.
These are the books that really stand out to me as must reads for this month.
Let me know if there is a book that you think I missed!
Happy reading!
