Most Anticipated MM Romance Books Releasing July 2024
Anyone But Me by JD Frost
What happens when your tormentor becomes your protector?
Oakley Farrow is your typical high school senior. He stays up late cramming for finals. He has impossible deadlines to meet. He worries about his future as graduation lurks just around the corner.
He has to defend himself from his abusive uncle.
He has to keep his sister safe.
He has to survive the constant torture from his bully, Asher Brooks – the seemingly arrogant and cruel star quarterback.
Okay… so maybe not your typical high school senior.
But when things start to change – when Asher notices the bruises marring Oakley’s skin, the ones he didn’t put there, and that evil gleam in his eye morphs into one of concern – one thing is for certain: his life just got a whole lot more complicated.
Enemies to lovers? Say no more!
I am also so curious about this book! I want to see if the debut author, JD Frost, can get me to like Asher. Can she make him likable? I can’t wait to see.
Under the Lupine Moon by A. Knightley
Release Date: July 2nd
Finn Winters has exactly two friends, loves to cook, and can turn into a wolf the size of a Clydesdale whenever the mood strikes. But when loss leads him to someone who feels so right, even through a phone screen, Finn wonders if taking a chance and letting him in might be worth it, if it means calling him his own. That is, until he’s stood up.
After Jaime Lamont inadvertently witnesses the murder of one of Monroe’s most prominent citizens, all he wants is to hide away in his quiet, safe cabin and forget about the chances that were ripped away in one horrible night. But when he’s thrust into a world of danger and mystery, he finds himself in the arms of the man he thought he’d lost all hope of ever knowing.
With Finn and Jaime back in each other’s lives in a way they never expected, the electric chemistry between them is undeniable. But will hidden truths and unknown dangers tear them apart before they can even begin? Or, can they find their way back to one another?
Under the Lupine Moon seems so cool!
I love a good shifter romance, so this book was already of interest to me. Throw in a little murder mystery and some second chance vibes and I am ready to rock.
A. Knightley is another debut author that I am excited to try out!
Full Service by Cora Rose
In all of my years as a professor, never did I imagine I’d end up getting a lap dance from a student. But I did. What’s worse? He’s my new TA. And the icing on top of the cake? I can’t stop thinking about it. Can’t get him off my mind.
I’m Dr. Silas Sinclair. Respectable educator and a man with his head on his shoulders. I don’t break the rules. I don’t cross boundaries. And I certainly don’t stalk students.
Or at least I didn’t until him.
Everly Winslow is bad news waiting to happen. He’s everything I should stay away from, but I can’t. The flirting. The taunting. It’s constant, and it’s too much.
I’m only human and it’s only a matter of time before I crack and give in to my desires. When all is said and done, will I be able to maintain my respectable career or will it all crash and burn?
I love that Cora Rose has joined the Franklin U 2 crew!
If anyone can knock a taboo TA/professor romance out of the park, it was going to be her. I think this will be a winner from the Franklin U 2 series!
The Amazing Alpha Tau Romeo and Juliet Project by Lisa Henry & Sarah Honey
When Charlie Mercer meets a cute guy at a party during summer break, sparks fly. But Tanner never calls him. Typical. At least he has his sophomore year at Lassiter and his fraternity brothers at Alpha Tau to distract him—and maybe this will be the year he finally meets someone.
College is meant to be a new chapter in Tanner North’s life, except he’s still stuck in the shadow of his older brother, Colt. Not only is Tanner going to Lassiter like Colt did, he’s also pledging to Kappa Beta Rho because Colt was chapter president there. Whatever. Tanner’s not interested in getting involved in the dumb frat rivalry that Kappa Beta Rho has going on with Alpha Tau. He’s just going to keep his head down and his grades up until he graduates.
It’s a solid plan, right up until Tanner realizes that Charlie is a member of Alpha Tau. And it turns out that keeping their hands off each other is harder than they thought.
When I tell you that I am obsessed with the Alpha Tau series, you need to know that I mean OBSESSED.
I serious think about Mary O’Brien (of The Amazing Alpha Tau Self-Improvement Project fame) at least once a day.
There is no way that I won’t like this fourth book in the series. I cannot wait!
Tongue Tied by Christina Lee
AUSTIN
Dex has always been my best friend, so it’s no surprise that we attend Franklin U together. We’re complete opposites. Dex is charismatic and outgoing. Me? Let’s just say I wish I could infuse some of his confidence into my veins. Making friends is hard enough, but trying to meet guys? Even with Dex’s help? I’m useless. Maybe it’s because Dex is all about hooking up, but I want my first time to be straight out of the pages of the romance novels I read.
DEX
After a string of mishaps, I swore off helping Austin land guys. But when he asks me to show him the ropes with practice sessions, I get the feeling he’s desperate. Our dates are pretend, so why am I getting so into them? I want to make Austin happy, but the line between friendship and something more is getting really damned blurry. The fluttery feeling, that electric energy every time we touch…it’s addicting. I’m getting overprotective, not only of my time with Austin, but with douchebags who might break his heart.
Eventually, the pretending has to end so Austin can strike out on his own. But how do I tell him I’m not ready to let him go, when every attempt at confessing leaves me tongue-tied?
Tongue Tied looks to be another awesome read from the Franklin U 2 series.
I love a good best friends-to-lovers romance. Especially when one of the friends is a bumbling virgin.
Sounds like a recipe for a great book to me!
Gunpowder by Asa Violet
A single shot marks the beginning of an unforgettable summer.
When twenty-one year old Blair Kennedy is shot in the leg by a rival gang, he lands in the care of Mount Sinai hospital and a med student who is arguably the least hospitable man he’s ever met. Blair is all too happy when they part ways, but life seems determined for their paths to keep crossing.
Wren is cold and sarcastic with a past wreathed in secrecy, the polarizing opposite to Blair’s passionate loyalty and quick temper. They’re incompatible in every sense of the word and yet Blair finds himself burning to know what hides behind the beautiful but frigid exterior of Wren Masters.
All the while, Blair’s arms-dealing gang Incindious, led by convicted arsonist Felix Bane, is at vicious war with the clandestine group known as Phantom.
The one rule for survival?
Trust no one.
Gunpowder is yet another debut novel. This time from Asa Violet.
I have to say, I love the amount of new MM romance authors I have seen lately!
After absolutely loving reading 68 Whiskey by Erin Russell recently, I have started to be more open to reading books that deal with gangs. This is something that I used to avoid, but I think I am learning to like it.
It doesn’t hurt that this book also is grumpy/sunshine and slow burn. Two things I know that I love.
I think this will be a great read!
Chokehold by Leigh Rivers & Harleigh Beck
They’re supposed to be enemies.
It takes one night with a masked man to change that all. They crave the next touch of the person they hate the most. Desperate for that next taste of the person they can’t stand. Waiting for that anonymous text message to accelerate their heartbeats. The thrill of the chase with the forbidden fruit is enough to blur the lines and the world around them.
The first problem? They both have girlfriends.
The worst problem? They’re stepbrothers.
Stepbrothers you say? Well, I’m in!
Also, the chasing thing? Stupid hot. I think Chokehold looks to be a fun and exciting read.

Twincerely Yours by Eden Finley
EMMETT
My twin brother and I have gotten ourselves into a lot of messes growing up. We would constantly switch places to escape consequences while protecting each other at every cost.
But sleeping with Ben’s professor is a whole new level of mess, because there’s something Jonah doesn’t know. He might have been Ben’s professor last semester, but the person he was lecturing wasn’t Ben. It was me.
JONAH
From the moment I meet Emmett, I know he looks familiar but I can’t pinpoint where from. It’s not until I see his twin brother in the quad that I put two and two together.
Dating the sibling of one of my ex-students isn’t a huge problem for me, but I can’t help thinking the twins are hiding something.
The more time I spend with Emmett, the more I fall for him, but as my insecurity grows, so does my worry that I’m being played.
When my heart and my gut tell me two different things, I don’t know which to trust. My gut tells me to cut and run, but my heart won’t let me. Even though I’ve been telling myself to hold back, it’s too late. I’m already in too deep.
The other half of A Stealthy Situationship! We finally get Emmett’s story.
I love checking in with the Dalton fam, so I am all over this book. I also am hopeful that we will get more of Harrison and Benny in this book!
Hey, I’m Heather!
I read M/M romance books exclusively, and I help other readers find their next great M/M romance read.
