April 2025 Queer Romances It’s April, which means it’s time to shower yourself with books! No, I don’t care if that’s not the official saying, because we all deserve to enjoy these new queer romances! * #### Flirting Lessons **Author:** Guillory Jasmine **Released:** April 8, 2025 by Berkley **Genre:** Contemporary Romance, LGBTQIA, Romance **The exciting new contemporary romance—and her first to feature a queer romance—by _New York Times_ bestselling author Jasmine Guillory** Avery Jensen is almost thirty, fresh off a breakup, and she’s tired of always being so uptight and well-behaved. She wants to get a hobby, date around (especially other women), flirt with everyone she sees, all the fun stuff normal people do in their twenties. One Avery doesn’t know how to do any of that. She doesn’t have a lot of dating experience, with men or women, and despite being self-assured at work, she doesn’t have a lot of confidence when it comes to romance. Enter Taylor Cameron, Napa Valley’s biggest flirt and champion heartbreaker. Taylor just broke up with her most recent girlfriend, and her best friend bet her that she can’t make it until Labor Day without sleeping with someone. (Two whole months? Without sex? Taylor?!?!) So, she offers to give Avery flirting lessons. It will keep her busy, stop her from texting people she shouldn’t. And it might distract her from how inadequate she feels compared to her friends, who all seem much more settled and adult than Taylor. At first, Avery is stiff and nervous, but Taylor is patient and encouraging, and soon, Avery looks forward to their weekly lessons. She tells herself it’s because the lessons are fun, not because she kind of might have a little bit of a crush on Taylor. Taylor doesn’t even try to deny that she’s intrigued by Avery, but she’s still got a bet to win. With Taylor’s help, Avery is finally doing what she wants to flirting with lots of women, making friends, having fun! But after a while, it becomes impossible for Avery and Taylor to ignore their attraction to one another, despite them both insisting to themselves and everyone else that it isn’t serious. When Taylor is forced to confront her feelings for Avery, she doesn’t know what to do, how to deal with it, and most importantly, if she’s already ruined the best thing she’s ever had. It’s always intriguing when a very established Romance author dips into queer waters, but especially if that establishment came through Romances centering marginalized characters. The premise is an extremely cute take on friends to lovers, and let’s just say the idea of a baby bi needing some assistance is deeply relatable.

England **Released:** April 29, 2025 by Canary Street Press **Genre:** Contemporary Romance, LGBTQIA, Romance Nicole Wells left Seattle two years ago for graduate school to study fire dynamics…and to get away from her best friend and unrequited love, Skylar Clark. Now she’s back home with a new job, ready to hit reset on her life and reconnect with her friends. And maybe finally get together with Skylar. Nic’s plans go up in flames when Skylar announces she’s moving to Fiji for a new business venture, in what will likely be another catastrophe for the ambitious but seldom successful BFF. That, and there’s a newcomer to Nic’s group of friends: Kira McKinney, a firefighter Nicole can’t keep her eyes off. Worried about their friend making a huge mistake, Nicole and Kira work together to stop Skylar from leaving. When talking to her doesn’t work, there’s only one option left—shenanigans. But as all their efforts go up in smoke, one thing becomes wildly clear. Sparks are starting to fly between Nic and Kira… In this sapphic rom-com, a fire starter (a chemist who studies fire) and a firefighter team up to save their best friend from making an epic mistake, sparks fly (literally) and shenanigans ensue; a celebration of queer joy for fans of Casey McQuiston and Ashley Herring Blake. Full disclosure that I blurbed this one as an author, and it was so freaking easy because every single pun relating to fire applies to this book – sparks, heat, chemistry… it’s alllll there. I’m a huge fan of England’s YA (especially queer sci-fi standalone _The Disasters_), and this book was definite confirmation I’ll follow them just about anywhere.

Thanks!_ * #### Futbolista **Author:** Jonny Garza Villa **Released:** April 15, 2025 by Levine Querido **Genre:** Contemporary Romance, LGBTQIA, New Adult, Romance, Young Adult **_Heartstopper_****meets _Red, White, & Royal Blue_ in a college football (the real football) YA contemporary romance with all the Mexican-American vibes to be expected from Jonny Garza Villa, author of _Fifteen Hundred Miles From the Sun_.** Gabriel Piña knows who he a college goalkeeper, an aspiring professional athlete, and definitely straight. He’s starting his freshman year at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi with a lot of eyes on him and even more potential, but he’s got this. Nothing will have him straying off the path to greatness. That is, until Vale, a philosophy classmate (who Gabi might’ve kissed very briefly, and only once, to help him out at a party) volunteer​s to tutor him. ​As a friendship blooms and the two spend more and more time together, Gabi begins to recognize something about that maybe he’s not as straight as he thought he was. ​A​nd a larger and much more brooding realization lingers. Someone like him—a brown, Mexican futbolista with dreams of playing for El Tri—can’t also be bisexual. It would be the exact type of straying off path that destroys his future. Or, maybe Gabi could embrace all those parts of himself and create his own path. One that includes football and a boyfriend. If only he could find that courage to fight for himself and a future he deserves. A sports romance for those who keep rewatching _Bend It Like Beckham_ and fans of the incredible collection of queer YA soc—football stories, _Futbolista_ follows the first semester of one guy’s freshman year of college, navigating who he is and who he wants to be. Garza Villa’s _1500 Miles from the Sun_ remains one of my all-time favorite m/m YA Romances (and my favorite Romance about a Long Distance Relationship, period), so I am _very_ excited for their first New Adult Romance, especially because I happen to love both sports romance and bisexual awakenings. Definitely counting on this being one of my faves of the year. Add to Goodreads To-Read List → * * * * _As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. We also may use affiliate links in our posts, as well. Thanks!_ * #### Gross Misconduct **Author:** AJ Truman **Released:** April 28, 2025 by Truman Books **Genre:** Contemporary Romance, LGBTQIA, Romance **Series:** The Comebacks #1 As a high school hockey star, I was on track for greatness. Until an opponent attacked me on the ice, leaving me half blind. For the past twenty-seven years, I’ve avoided hockey and its painful memories. But when my old teammates get back together to play in a local recreational league, I realize it could be a chance to rewrite history. The only person standing in my way is Jack Gross. Hockey isn’t complete without a rivalry, and ours comes courtesy of the they’re younger, faster, and fronted by Jack, a former professional hockey player who hates my guts after a rooftop hookup gone wrong. His cockiness and penchant for pranks make me hate him right back. But Jack has a special way of getting under my skin that makes me want to get into his pants. And well, I only have so much willpower. As our teams get closer to a showdown on the ice, Jack begins shedding his armor of confidence. Despite getting to live the life I dreamed of, maybe Jack is as messed up as me. The championship game could redeem the past for us both. But there can only be one winner. Will victory taste as sweet if it costs me Jack? _Gross Misconduct is a rivals to lovers, age gap, single dad, gay romance with no cheating and an HEA. It is book 1 in The Comebacks, a series about a friend group of single dads who were hockey all-stars in high school and looking to recapture the magic in their forties. Whether they win or lose, there’s always a post-game beer._ Romance is still firmly in its hockey era, and it’s always a score when a new gay series emerges. I’ve been reading AJ Truman since he first went indie, and it’s been a lot of fun seeing him spin out into new things, from his coauthored series with MA Wardell to, well, this hockey romance I can’t wait to pick up!

Thanks!_ * #### My Best Friend’s Honeymoon **Author:** Meryl Wilsner **Released:** April 29, 2025 by St. Martin's Griffin **Genre:** Contemporary Romance, LGBTQIA, Romance **Meryl Wilsner’s spicy f/nb romance, where two lifelong best friends go on a nonrefundable honeymoon together and discover sometimes to find a happily ever after, you just have to ask.** Elsie Hoffman has been engaged to her college boyfriend for a year and a half. Ginny Holtz has been in love with Elsie for almost a decade and a half. When Elsie discovers her fiancé already planned their wedding and honeymoon as a surprise and she’s expected to be in a white dress in seven days, she swiftly realizes she’s let herself become too comfortable with a future she never wanted. She breaks things off, and a week later is on a plane to the Caribbean for her non-refundable honeymoon with her best friend Ginny instead. Ginny thinks it’s high time Elsie learned how to speak up for herself. So, they make a deal with her. For the next week, Elsie can have whatever she wants, wherever, however, and whenever she wants it, as long as she asks. They never expected Elsie to want them. What starts as choosing activities and taking selfies soon turns to toe-curling kisses and much, much more. But what happens when the honeymoon is over? Meryl Wilsner’s _My Best Friend’s Honeymoon_ is about not only learning to ask for what you want, but for the happiness you deserve. Ain’t no smut like Meryl Wilsner smut because Meryl Wilsner smut will melt your face off! I mean, this book is basically like taking a fabulous sexcation with your hot queer bestie, which is a reading experience I absolutely recommend, especially if you love steamy books where the parties involved learn a _lot_ about what they enjoy. (Sexually. I mean sexually.) Add to Goodreads To-Read List → * * * * _As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. We also may use affiliate links in our posts, as well. Thanks!_

April 2025 Queer Romances It’s April, which means it’s time to shower yourself with books! No, I don’t care if that’s not the official saying, because we all deserve to enjoy these new queer romances! * #### Flirting Lessons **Author:** Guillory Jasmine **Released:** April 8, 2025 by Berkley **Genre:** Contemporary Romance, LGBTQIA, Romance **The exciting new contemporary romance—and her first to feature a queer romance—by _New York Times_ bestselling author Jasmine Guillory** Avery Jensen is almost thirty, fresh off a breakup, and she’s tired of always being so uptight and well-behaved. She wants to get a hobby, date around (especially other women), flirt with everyone she sees, all the fun stuff normal people do in their twenties. One Avery doesn’t know how to do any of that. She doesn’t have a lot of dating experience, with men or women, and despite being self-assured at work, she doesn’t have a lot of confidence when it comes to romance. Enter Taylor Cameron, Napa Valley’s biggest flirt and champion heartbreaker. Taylor just broke up with her most recent girlfriend, and her best friend bet her that she can’t make it until Labor Day without sleeping with someone. (Two whole months? Without sex? Taylor?!?!) So, she offers to give Avery flirting lessons. It will keep her busy, stop her from texting people she shouldn’t. And it might distract her from how inadequate she feels compared to her friends, who all seem much more settled and adult than Taylor. At first, Avery is stiff and nervous, but Taylor is patient and encouraging, and soon, Avery looks forward to their weekly lessons. She tells herself it’s because the lessons are fun, not because she kind of might have a little bit of a crush on Taylor. Taylor doesn’t even try to deny that she’s intrigued by Avery, but she’s still got a bet to win. With Taylor’s help, Avery is finally doing what she wants to flirting with lots of women, making friends, having fun! But after a while, it becomes impossible for Avery and Taylor to ignore their attraction to one another, despite them both insisting to themselves and everyone else that it isn’t serious. When Taylor is forced to confront her feelings for Avery, she doesn’t know what to do, how to deal with it, and most importantly, if she’s already ruined the best thing she’s ever had. It’s always intriguing when a very established Romance author dips into queer waters, but especially if that establishment came through Romances centering marginalized characters. The premise is an extremely cute take on friends to lovers, and let’s just say the idea of a baby bi needing some assistance is deeply relatable.

England **Released:** April 29, 2025 by Canary Street Press **Genre:** Contemporary Romance, LGBTQIA, Romance Nicole Wells left Seattle two years ago for graduate school to study fire dynamics…and to get away from her best friend and unrequited love, Skylar Clark. Now she’s back home with a new job, ready to hit reset on her life and reconnect with her friends. And maybe finally get together with Skylar. Nic’s plans go up in flames when Skylar announces she’s moving to Fiji for a new business venture, in what will likely be another catastrophe for the ambitious but seldom successful BFF. That, and there’s a newcomer to Nic’s group of friends: Kira McKinney, a firefighter Nicole can’t keep her eyes off. Worried about their friend making a huge mistake, Nicole and Kira work together to stop Skylar from leaving. When talking to her doesn’t work, there’s only one option left—shenanigans. But as all their efforts go up in smoke, one thing becomes wildly clear. Sparks are starting to fly between Nic and Kira… In this sapphic rom-com, a fire starter (a chemist who studies fire) and a firefighter team up to save their best friend from making an epic mistake, sparks fly (literally) and shenanigans ensue; a celebration of queer joy for fans of Casey McQuiston and Ashley Herring Blake. Full disclosure that I blurbed this one as an author, and it was so freaking easy because every single pun relating to fire applies to this book – sparks, heat, chemistry… it’s alllll there. I’m a huge fan of England’s YA (especially queer sci-fi standalone _The Disasters_), and this book was definite confirmation I’ll follow them just about anywhere.

He’s starting his freshman year at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi with a lot of eyes on him and even more potential, but he’s got this. Nothing will have him straying off the path to greatness. That is, until Vale, a philosophy classmate (who Gabi might’ve kissed very briefly, and only once, to help him out at a party) volunteer​s to tutor him. ​As a friendship blooms and the two spend more and more time together, Gabi begins to recognize something about that maybe he’s not as straight as he thought he was. ​A​nd a larger and much more brooding realization lingers. Someone like him—a brown, Mexican futbolista with dreams of playing for El Tri—can’t also be bisexual. It would be the exact type of straying off path that destroys his future. Or, maybe Gabi could embrace all those parts of himself and create his own path. One that includes football and a boyfriend. If only he could find that courage to fight for himself and a future he deserves. A sports romance for those who keep rewatching _Bend It Like Beckham_ and fans of the incredible collection of queer YA soc—football stories, _Futbolista_ follows the first semester of one guy’s freshman year of college, navigating who he is and who he wants to be. Garza Villa’s _1500 Miles from the Sun_ remains one of my all-time favorite m/m YA Romances (and my favorite Romance about a Long Distance Relationship, period), so I am _very_ excited for their first New Adult Romance, especially because I happen to love both sports romance and bisexual awakenings. Definitely counting on this being one of my faves of the year. Add to Goodreads To-Read List → * * * * _As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.

Until an opponent attacked me on the ice, leaving me half blind. For the past twenty-seven years, I’ve avoided hockey and its painful memories. But when my old teammates get back together to play in a local recreational league, I realize it could be a chance to rewrite history. The only person standing in my way is Jack Gross. Hockey isn’t complete without a rivalry, and ours comes courtesy of the they’re younger, faster, and fronted by Jack, a former professional hockey player who hates my guts after a rooftop hookup gone wrong. His cockiness and penchant for pranks make me hate him right back. But Jack has a special way of getting under my skin that makes me want to get into his pants. And well, I only have so much willpower. As our teams get closer to a showdown on the ice, Jack begins shedding his armor of confidence. Despite getting to live the life I dreamed of, maybe Jack is as messed up as me. The championship game could redeem the past for us both. But there can only be one winner. Will victory taste as sweet if it costs me Jack? _Gross Misconduct is a rivals to lovers, age gap, single dad, gay romance with no cheating and an HEA. It is book 1 in The Comebacks, a series about a friend group of single dads who were hockey all-stars in high school and looking to recapture the magic in their forties. Whether they win or lose, there’s always a post-game beer._ Romance is still firmly in its hockey era, and it’s always a score when a new gay series emerges. I’ve been reading AJ Truman since he first went indie, and it’s been a lot of fun seeing him spin out into new things, from his coauthored series with MA Wardell to, well, this hockey romance I can’t wait to pick up!

Ginny Holtz has been in love with Elsie for almost a decade and a half. When Elsie discovers her fiancé already planned their wedding and honeymoon as a surprise and she’s expected to be in a white dress in seven days, she swiftly realizes she’s let herself become too comfortable with a future she never wanted. She breaks things off, and a week later is on a plane to the Caribbean for her non-refundable honeymoon with her best friend Ginny instead. Ginny thinks it’s high time Elsie learned how to speak up for herself. So, they make a deal with her. For the next week, Elsie can have whatever she wants, wherever, however, and whenever she wants it, as long as she asks. They never expected Elsie to want them. What starts as choosing activities and taking selfies soon turns to toe-curling kisses and much, much more. But what happens when the honeymoon is over? Meryl Wilsner’s _My Best Friend’s Honeymoon_ is about not only learning to ask for what you want, but for the happiness you deserve. Ain’t no smut like Meryl Wilsner smut because Meryl Wilsner smut will melt your face off! I mean, this book is basically like taking a fabulous sexcation with your hot queer bestie, which is a reading experience I absolutely recommend, especially if you love steamy books where the parties involved learn a _lot_ about what they enjoy.

April 2025 Queer Romances It’s April, which means it’s time to shower yourself with books! No, I don’t care if that’s not the official saying, because we all deserve to enjoy these new queer romances! * #### Flirting Lessons **Author:** Guillory Jasmine **Released:** April 8, 2025 by Berkley **Genre:** Contemporary Romance, LGBTQIA, Romance **The exciting new contemporary romance—and her first to feature a queer romance—by _New York Times_ bestselling author Jasmine Guillory** Avery Jensen is almost thirty, fresh off a breakup, and she’s tired of always being so uptight and well-behaved. She wants to get a hobby, date around (especially other women), flirt with everyone she sees, all the fun stuff normal people do in their twenties. One Avery doesn’t know how to do any of that. She doesn’t have a lot of dating experience, with men or women, and despite being self-assured at work, she doesn’t have a lot of confidence when it comes to romance. Enter Taylor Cameron, Napa Valley’s biggest flirt and champion heartbreaker. Taylor just broke up with her most recent girlfriend, and her best friend bet her that she can’t make it until Labor Day without sleeping with someone. (Two whole months? Without sex? Taylor?!?!) So, she offers to give Avery flirting lessons. It will keep her busy, stop her from texting people she shouldn’t. And it might distract her from how inadequate she feels compared to her friends, who all seem much more settled and adult than Taylor. At first, Avery is stiff and nervous, but Taylor is patient and encouraging, and soon, Avery looks forward to their weekly lessons. She tells herself it’s because the lessons are fun, not because she kind of might have a little bit of a crush on Taylor. Taylor doesn’t even try to deny that she’s intrigued by Avery, but she’s still got a bet to win. With Taylor’s help, Avery is finally doing what she wants to flirting with lots of women, making friends, having fun! But after a while, it becomes impossible for Avery and Taylor to ignore their attraction to one another, despite them both insisting to themselves and everyone else that it isn’t serious. When Taylor is forced to confront her feelings for Avery, she doesn’t know what to do, how to deal with it, and most importantly, if she’s already ruined the best thing she’s ever had. It’s always intriguing when a very established Romance author dips into queer waters, but especially if that establishment came through Romances centering marginalized characters. The premise is an extremely cute take on friends to lovers, and let’s just say the idea of a baby bi needing some assistance is deeply relatable.

England **Released:** April 29, 2025 by Canary Street Press **Genre:** Contemporary Romance, LGBTQIA, Romance Nicole Wells left Seattle two years ago for graduate school to study fire dynamics…and to get away from her best friend and unrequited love, Skylar Clark. Now she’s back home with a new job, ready to hit reset on her life and reconnect with her friends. And maybe finally get together with Skylar. Nic’s plans go up in flames when Skylar announces she’s moving to Fiji for a new business venture, in what will likely be another catastrophe for the ambitious but seldom successful BFF. That, and there’s a newcomer to Nic’s group of friends: Kira McKinney, a firefighter Nicole can’t keep her eyes off. Worried about their friend making a huge mistake, Nicole and Kira work together to stop Skylar from leaving. When talking to her doesn’t work, there’s only one option left—shenanigans. But as all their efforts go up in smoke, one thing becomes wildly clear. Sparks are starting to fly between Nic and Kira… In this sapphic rom-com, a fire starter (a chemist who studies fire) and a firefighter team up to save their best friend from making an epic mistake, sparks fly (literally) and shenanigans ensue; a celebration of queer joy for fans of Casey McQuiston and Ashley Herring Blake. Full disclosure that I blurbed this one as an author, and it was so freaking easy because every single pun relating to fire applies to this book – sparks, heat, chemistry… it’s alllll there. I’m a huge fan of England’s YA (especially queer sci-fi standalone _The Disasters_), and this book was definite confirmation I’ll follow them just about anywhere.

Thanks!_ * #### Futbolista **Author:** Jonny Garza Villa **Released:** April 15, 2025 by Levine Querido **Genre:** Contemporary Romance, LGBTQIA, New Adult, Romance, Young Adult **_Heartstopper_****meets _Red, White, & Royal Blue_ in a college football (the real football) YA contemporary romance with all the Mexican-American vibes to be expected from Jonny Garza Villa, author of _Fifteen Hundred Miles From the Sun_.** Gabriel Piña knows who he a college goalkeeper, an aspiring professional athlete, and definitely straight. He’s starting his freshman year at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi with a lot of eyes on him and even more potential, but he’s got this. Nothing will have him straying off the path to greatness. That is, until Vale, a philosophy classmate (who Gabi might’ve kissed very briefly, and only once, to help him out at a party) volunteer​s to tutor him. ​As a friendship blooms and the two spend more and more time together, Gabi begins to recognize something about that maybe he’s not as straight as he thought he was. ​A​nd a larger and much more brooding realization lingers. Someone like him—a brown, Mexican futbolista with dreams of playing for El Tri—can’t also be bisexual. It would be the exact type of straying off path that destroys his future. Or, maybe Gabi could embrace all those parts of himself and create his own path. One that includes football and a boyfriend. If only he could find that courage to fight for himself and a future he deserves. A sports romance for those who keep rewatching _Bend It Like Beckham_ and fans of the incredible collection of queer YA soc—football stories, _Futbolista_ follows the first semester of one guy’s freshman year of college, navigating who he is and who he wants to be. Garza Villa’s _1500 Miles from the Sun_ remains one of my all-time favorite m/m YA Romances (and my favorite Romance about a Long Distance Relationship, period), so I am _very_ excited for their first New Adult Romance, especially because I happen to love both sports romance and bisexual awakenings. Definitely counting on this being one of my faves of the year. Add to Goodreads To-Read List → * * * * _As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.

Thanks!_ * #### Gross Misconduct **Author:** AJ Truman **Released:** April 28, 2025 by Truman Books **Genre:** Contemporary Romance, LGBTQIA, Romance **Series:** The Comebacks #1 As a high school hockey star, I was on track for greatness. Until an opponent attacked me on the ice, leaving me half blind. For the past twenty-seven years, I’ve avoided hockey and its painful memories. But when my old teammates get back together to play in a local recreational league, I realize it could be a chance to rewrite history. The only person standing in my way is Jack Gross. Hockey isn’t complete without a rivalry, and ours comes courtesy of the they’re younger, faster, and fronted by Jack, a former professional hockey player who hates my guts after a rooftop hookup gone wrong. His cockiness and penchant for pranks make me hate him right back. But Jack has a special way of getting under my skin that makes me want to get into his pants. And well, I only have so much willpower. As our teams get closer to a showdown on the ice, Jack begins shedding his armor of confidence. Despite getting to live the life I dreamed of, maybe Jack is as messed up as me. The championship game could redeem the past for us both. But there can only be one winner. Will victory taste as sweet if it costs me Jack? _Gross Misconduct is a rivals to lovers, age gap, single dad, gay romance with no cheating and an HEA. It is book 1 in The Comebacks, a series about a friend group of single dads who were hockey all-stars in high school and looking to recapture the magic in their forties. Whether they win or lose, there’s always a post-game beer._ Romance is still firmly in its hockey era, and it’s always a score when a new gay series emerges. I’ve been reading AJ Truman since he first went indie, and it’s been a lot of fun seeing him spin out into new things, from his coauthored series with MA Wardell to, well, this hockey romance I can’t wait to pick up!

Thanks!_ * #### My Best Friend’s Honeymoon **Author:** Meryl Wilsner **Released:** April 29, 2025 by St. Martin's Griffin **Genre:** Contemporary Romance, LGBTQIA, Romance **Meryl Wilsner’s spicy f/nb romance, where two lifelong best friends go on a nonrefundable honeymoon together and discover sometimes to find a happily ever after, you just have to ask.** Elsie Hoffman has been engaged to her college boyfriend for a year and a half. Ginny Holtz has been in love with Elsie for almost a decade and a half. When Elsie discovers her fiancé already planned their wedding and honeymoon as a surprise and she’s expected to be in a white dress in seven days, she swiftly realizes she’s let herself become too comfortable with a future she never wanted. She breaks things off, and a week later is on a plane to the Caribbean for her non-refundable honeymoon with her best friend Ginny instead. Ginny thinks it’s high time Elsie learned how to speak up for herself. So, they make a deal with her. For the next week, Elsie can have whatever she wants, wherever, however, and whenever she wants it, as long as she asks. They never expected Elsie to want them. What starts as choosing activities and taking selfies soon turns to toe-curling kisses and much, much more. But what happens when the honeymoon is over? Meryl Wilsner’s _My Best Friend’s Honeymoon_ is about not only learning to ask for what you want, but for the happiness you deserve. Ain’t no smut like Meryl Wilsner smut because Meryl Wilsner smut will melt your face off! I mean, this book is basically like taking a fabulous sexcation with your hot queer bestie, which is a reading experience I absolutely recommend, especially if you love steamy books where the parties involved learn a _lot_ about what they enjoy.

I mean, this book is basically like taking a fabulous sexcation with your hot queer bestie, which is a reading experience I absolutely recommend, especially if you love steamy books where the parties involved learn a _lot_ about what they enjoy. (Sexually. I mean sexually.) Add to Goodreads To-Read List → * * * * _As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. We also may use affiliate links in our posts, as well. Thanks!_
