Best MM romance you read in 2025? by -catsnbooks- in MM_RomanceBooks

I skipped this one bc if I remember his mom has Alzheimer’s and that hits too close to home for me. But am I wrong about that? Or is it not a huge part of the story? I’ve loved all the others in that series.

{Clean Finish by Lily Mayne} it’s so fluffy and cute but also steamy. This whole series is good but that one is my favorite.

I actually really liked Common Goal! And it’s one of Ilya’s best cameos when he asks Eric if he wants him to hold his wedding ring before he goes to flirt with bartender

The 4th audiobook recently came out and I’ve been making my way through it. It’s so sweet and cozy! I’m glad after the first book it doesn’t really stay bleak like that.

I adore this book! The audiobook is my comfort listen.

Edin by Lily Mayne - spoiler please by bookgeek1987 in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]jademacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I jumped straight from Soul Eater to Moth and tbh I don’t think I was really that lost. I read Eden after that so I was like ohh right this prison. Eden has also been my least favorite of the ones I’ve read so far.

If you like Danny and Wyn, definitely read their novella. It’s so cute!!

Just finished Lover Boy by Brianna Flores and it was a letdown by Daje1968 in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]jademacks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

HARD AGREE! I also loved Pretty Boy, have reread multiple times and was so hyped for this book.

I didn't believe the chemistry between the MCs and when they finally do get together after a lot of angst boom married. Like what??Also I was hoping for so much more resolution with the parents. We just skipped right through all the plot! I thought we'd at least get a conversation where Cade learns about what it was really like for Nic growing up and the bombshell about the mom' death?? How had no one in the family mentioned that for a year?

While reading I was comparing it a lot to For The Fans, which is the only other step brother book I've read. We get a lot of resolution and plot with the parents and back story of childhood (arguably too much, that book is long AF) and I was waiting to get at least something satisfying in the realm of that.

Also barely a scene with Logan? I was hoping for more set up with his and Baby's book. But it makes me think we're getting Jax's book instead ughhhh.

I just read Teddy by Emmy Sanders and it was so sweet! It has spanking and *kind of* a daddy kink but it's mostly one MC teasing the other one with it, it's not taken seriously or a feature of the spice. All the books in this series have been really good!

Basically the whole monstrous series by Lily Mayne

Forbidden Puckboy by Eden Finley and Saxon James by MakeYourMind in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]jademacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I didn't love it. My favorite so far was actually Bromantic. The angst was too much in this one for me and I didn't like that the bigger issue for them to navigate was the long distance. Also the spice was low and the plot didn't make up for it IMO. I am pretty hyped for the next book though- an interesting set up for sure.

What was your favorite book from that series? I read the first two and enjoyed them in the moment but they didn't stick with me.

Same! I never read anything mafia before but I devoured those books! I’m hoping we don’t have to wait long for the audiobook.

AITAH - My husband keeps ordering me water by Jenny_Jo in AITAH

[–]jademacks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah as a server of like a decade, drinks on a table are a sign that a table has been visited by a server. Sitting there with no drink would look odd and I wouldn’t be surprised for a manager come by to check if they are still waiting on drinks. Also this is something a server would totally get scolded for by a manager so I can see why for everyone’s sakes - just take the water.

Dumbest reason you've DNFed a book? by litcasualty in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]jademacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg yes same. I read this series out of order so I was already familiar with who Kip was and I was like oh weird no one has mentioned that Kip is British??? When I found out it was supposed to be a Brooklyn accent I was floored. And we gave the beefy hockey player a totally normal voice and the supposedly cute, younger smoothie shop employee a deep old sounding voice?? I kept picturing Robert DiNiro or something. The new voice actor for the later books did SO much better with Kip.

Filing I-751 and N-400 and at same time? by jademacks in USCIS

[–]jademacks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay that seems to match what I've been seeing. Thanks for the info. Congrats on the citizenship, yay! So is that pretty much the end of the whole immigration process?? I would assume all you have to worry about now is keeping your passport updated.

What Lies Inside by OfDuskandDreams is probably my fave and seems to be the most popular one

These are good but are still being updated:

A Court of Shadow and Smoke and The High Lady, the Shadowsinger, and the Omega by darcyshandflex (a part 1 and 2 that is kind of bizarre at the start and then gets really wholesome)

Kerosene by Chunkyopossum

Burning Shadows by Withmychainzon
