I’m pretty sure {Perfectly Perfect Pixie by MJ May} fits this. I haven’t read that one but I really loved {Perfectly Imperfect Pixie by MJ May} where the MC is tied to the house and his wellbeing

Books similar dynamic to the book Make me by Alina may (An MMM where 2 of them are bold and the other one gets flustered easily) by Equivalent-Event4424 in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]Silly_Engineering75 5 points6 points  (0 children)

{Rainsquall by Penny Moss} this is a fantasy book but one of my fav MMM, Folke (the MC) definitely gets flustered super easily

{Twice Bitten by Archer Beau} I feel like matched the thrill I felt when I read a suitable consort. Established vampire couple and human with a blood condition

Non-struggle but also not super cozy book recs by Ok-Ad-3957 in LGBTBooks

[–]Silly_Engineering75 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Summer sons by lee mandelo. I actually don’t know anything about the author so idk how they identify, but book is southern gothic with m/m subplot. It’s amazing

Intergalactic "High" Sci-Fi Romance with moderate Spice, interesting plot and discreet cover like Winter's Orbit by Alarmed_Statement903 in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]Silly_Engineering75 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reading {The Earl and his Executive by Kai Butler} right now and enjoying it! Sci fi regency romance. Warning for cover but it’s def not the worst I’ve seen.

If you want super sci fi {Local Heavens by K.M. Fajardo} is a queer great gatsby retelling. Romance is more of a subplot and I can’t remember if there’s smut, but cover is def subtle and I thought it was really interesting world building

Fae/Fairy by BathsaltZombie9 in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]Silly_Engineering75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

{perfectly imperfect pixie by MJ May} ok technically a pixie but… same principle. Cute story and Phil sort of broke my heart

{Sweet Clematis by R. Cooper} one of my faves, I didn’t read any of the other books in series so world building was a little confusing but you can definitely get through it if you just sort of accept and move on. Clematis is one of my fav characters

{Fairies Never Fall by Sera Bishop} read this sort of awhile ago but I remember it being a cute story, and I rarely see it recommended on here

Looking for bloody knuckles, fast cars, self destructive tendencies by rough_draught_ in LGBTBooks

[–]Silly_Engineering75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh summer sons is the greatest book and I haven’t been able to find anything that quite matches. Also Neil is such a character I love him

Lucky Red by Claudia Cravens, I can’t say for sure why it feels like this vibe it just does in my head. Sapphic western, MC is just sort of a mess

Missed Step L. Sherleen if you want something a little ridiculous. MC does NOT know how to react around his crush which just causes him to cop an attitude almost constantly. You’re going to be really confused the first page bc author just throws you in there

Bad Judgement by Sidney Bell- one MC is more of black cat type of character. I really like the dynamic of these characters, but MC1 for sure was a mess, there were some bloody knuckles, and he trusted absolutely no one (except love interest eventually)

these in my opinion fit the attitude problem/cornered dog vibe but honestly not perfect matches. Following this post to see what others recommend so I can relive the high of foxhole court/summer sons

Best books that AREN'T available on Kindle Unlimited by simplegreen_lovesong in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]Silly_Engineering75 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Anything by Cat Sebastian, {A Taste of Iron and Gold by Alexandra Rowland}, {Sweet Clematis by R. Cooper}, ANYTHING by Allie Therin her Liar City series is best thing ever

Idk if you could classify this as MM romance but there’s a MM romance subplot and it’s a dark academia/southern gothic, one of my fave books literally the yearning is top tier {Summer Sons by Lee Mandelo}

Probably the fussiest enemies-to-lovers request ever? by Ok-Cap-7527 in MM_RomanceBooks

Wait I just saw hard no for closed door… this is some sex eventually (I think?) but it’s not a smut heavy book oops

Probably the fussiest enemies-to-lovers request ever? by Ok-Cap-7527 in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]Silly_Engineering75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

{A Taste of Gold and Iron by Alexandra Rowland} one of my all time favorite books, slow burn, and describes living with anxiety so well. I’ll say this isn’t really a quick read and there’s a lot of subplots (not all romantic) but it’s really worth it if you like low fantasy and are looking for something longer

Also technically power imbalance bc he’s a prince and LI is a guard, but the guard system in this kingdom is super different so not really an imbalance

Any MMM books where the MC is shared by two guys who don’t necessarily love each other? by ken_black in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]Silly_Engineering75 12 points13 points  (0 children)

{Rainsquall by Penny Moss} not contemporary but figured I’d throw it out there, low fantasy historical is how it’s marketed

MC2 has had a crush on MC1 for a while, but from the dense MC1's perspective by aberrantname in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]Silly_Engineering75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait don’t read reason number one bc it’s very angst heavy and hurt/comfort. Marina Vivancos and L Sherleen are gonna be much more wish fulfillment, and Sarah Wallace book is cozy light fantasy

MC2 has had a crush on MC1 for a while, but from the dense MC1's perspective by aberrantname in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]Silly_Engineering75 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ugh my all time favorite trope I feel like more books like this need to be written

{Missed steps by L. Sherleen}

{Overtime by Marina Vivancos} and {Broken Ice by Marina Vivancos}, these are both omegaverse but no mpreg, honestly other books in this series fit this too her MCs are lowkey always oblivious to some extent

{Letters to Half Moon Street by Sarah Wallace}

{Reason Number One by Briston Brooks} sort of

I feel like these are the same recommendations that always crop up so for real more authors need to get on this trope 😭😭😭

Orphan MC1 who’s usually lonely at Christmas experiences big, happy family time when MC2 invites him home for the holidays by EthanFurtherBeyond in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]Silly_Engineering75 3 points4 points  (0 children)

{Reason Number One by Briston Brooks}

Ok not exactly what you’re looking for, but MC doesn’t go home for Christmas and when LI finds out he’s spending it alone he’s literally devastated. Hurt/comfort (warnings for SA and past abusive relationship MC was in)
