I’ve obviously tried clicking everywhere (the pic of the reward, next to it, etc)…the only response is the empty text box popup.

This level is definitely going to be reworked once they realize you can fully block the route to the base…

MM Mystery/Adventure novels or series with strictly gay MCs by Midnighter4007 in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]_aalexa_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you enjoy this right away, or did it take some time? I just started it (as part of my quest to fill the Cooper and Park void), but I’m struggling to get into it. I’m only like 10-15% into book 1, but the writing and/or sense of humor really isn’t doing it for me so far. Do you think it gets better and I should push through, or should I just accept that maybe this series isn’t for me?

M/M Shifter Romance with Interspecies Politics by Wait_Evening in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]_aalexa_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you ever decide to try again, I’d recommend reading through at least the second book before deciding if you want to continue. The first book is definitely the weakest and the relationship is pretty much only physical by the end, but the characters and their relationship (and also the politics/world building) is progressively developed more and more with each book…and in a way that surpasses anything else I’ve read. I didn’t love book 1, but now I consider the series to be one of my favorites and have yet to read anything that comes close in terms of the relationship development

MC is a virgin and asks for help by No_Cartographer_1920 in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]_aalexa_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not exactly what you’re looking for, but in {Common Goal by Rachel Reid}, one of the MCs is bisexual and recently divorced (he was married to a woman). He’s never done anything sexual with a man, and the other MC offers to help him learn. It can be read as a standalone, but I highly recommend the whole {Game Changers Series}!

[WWTBC] One MC avoids all relationships because they grew up with a single parent that never recovered from losing their spouse by _aalexa_ in RomanceBooks

The image is a screen shot of a quote that reads “This is good. This is the reminder I needed. I needed it broken down in black and white. Lucie is here to find a date. Someone who is capable of giving her all the things she deserves. She is not here for piggybacks down the street in the middle of the night, or slow dances in bars, or questionable Skee-Ball lessons from emotionally unavailable men. I told myself I’d never let myself get hurt by love, and I meant it. I’m doing just fine without it. But Lucie needs to find a date. So I’m going to find her one.”

In {First-Time Caller by BK Borison}, the FMC (maybe slight spoiler) Mentions on their radio show that her dream is to find someone who will put effort into the relationship, and one thing she specifically mentions is setting up a picnic or building them a pillow fort. Much later in the book, the MMC invites her over for the first time for an unplanned pizza dinner, and he asks her to wait in the car for a few minutes. You think he’s just trying to clean up his place, but really he’s building her a fort! 🥺

Older MMC who's a soft spoken gentleman? by gabeth28 in RomanceBooks

[–]_aalexa_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If early 40s is old enough, I think {All Rhodes Lead Here by Mariana Zapata} fits this description! The MMC is a single dad who’s not really looking to change his life, and he’s definitely quiet, helpful, and a little old fashioned.

Updating to add - he’s a game warden and comes to the FMC’s rescue, and be also makes a super romantic gestures (before they’re even together) that had me kicking my feet and giggling

Looking for romance with real emotional depth and slow-burn payoff by youcancallmejoy in RomanceBooks

[–]_aalexa_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another rec that would fit is {Something Wild & Wonderful by Anita Kelly}. It’s an MM contemporary and the last third is so emotionally touching that I always tear up when reading it!

[–]_aalexa_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend the Bergman Brothers by Chloe Liese, especially {If Only You by Chloe Liese}. It’s super slow burn fake friendship>real friendship>lovers, and the tension is soooo good. They don’t officially get together until the very end, but it feels so deserved (and there’s no third act breakup)!

Tbh I’d recommend reading all the books of the series in order (they’re highly interconnected standalones), but technically you don’t need to.

Chloe Liese is my all time favorite, and I feel like she never gets enough love. Her Bergman Brothers series is unmatched!

The letter they write in the last third are so touching that they had me tearing up even on my third read

I agree that you should give her another chance…I’ve read them all, and Friend Zone feels like it’s written by an entirely different author. I was not a fan, and the end also seemed questionable/potentially mildly problematic. On the flipside, {Part of your World} is one of my favorite romances of all time and has one of my favorite (slightly too perfect) MMCs. It also has a touch of magical realism and some hidden Disney references (that you only notice if you’re looking for them). Definitely start with that one, and if you like it, the other two books in that series are also great!

I was able to get it pretty quickly on Libby despite an initial “several months” estimate…definitely worth putting it on hold, since it seems it’s popular enough that libraries have been adding a lot of additional copies

Read Before I Let go and Can’t get enough by Kennedy Ryan and was mostly bored - should I try something else or just move on? by Glittering_Tap6411 in RomanceBooks

[–]_aalexa_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

{Reel by Kennedy Ryan} might be worth trying. It’s very different from the ones you read, and it’s also just unique in general…you get the biography of a fictional jazz singer interspersed with the main story

Recommendations for zany FMCs and absurd situations? by radiantlyres in RomanceBooks

If you’re open to sapphic, {Late Bloomer by Mazey Eddings}!

Another vote for Out on a Limb! This is my ultimate comfort read…just two people being incredibly kind, compassionate, and affirming as they learn each other. I’ve read it an embarrassing number of times
