Rise of Contemporary Gay Romance


Gay dating has evolved a lot lately. Being gay is widely accepted today, so gay men don’t have to hide who they are anymore. That's a great evolution in culture which led to a boom in online dating as well.

 

In the past, the number of legit gay dating platforms was insignificant. Nowadays, men can quickly and safely meet partners for m4m hookups online without breaking a sweat.


Even the busiest guys can get dates thanks to modern features such as geolocation (vital for local dating) or browsing filters (vital for pinpointing only those members who fit one’s type).


But in most countries and cultures, it's not just dating that has become easier.


Change has also made it possible for homosexual relationships and preferences to be lived out openly and in a legally accepted form. In a progressive society, it has become completely normal for couples of any color and sexual orientation to simply be together or to enter into an official institution such as marriage.


This freedom has clearly also influenced and developed gay literature. The number of novels in this genre has virtually exploded.

The sheer quantity does not speak for quality, but we have already reported a few times here on Filthybooks about the hot, inspiring and well-written erotic gay stories.


Now get ready to check our selection of great books on the topic of m4m hookups.

Her “Big Rock” had 32 editions already, but we want to present another book.

It’s a steamy friends-to-lovers romance set in New York City's firefighting world. Suede's narrative skill unfolds a story of intense chemistry and emotional depth.


The book will grab you and hold you until you finish it. Then, you’ll probably want to order a calendar with hot firefighters or try to meet one online.

Elle Kennedy, a contemporary romance author renowned for engaging and passionate storytelling, co-authors "Top Secret" with Sarina Bowen.

 

This steamy and humorous romance unfolds in a college setting, exploring unexpected connections and desires.


That makes it easier to relate to than the previous book on this list because most guys aren’t wizards. Yet most of us went to college and had casual dates there.


And hopefully most of us have some good memories about this time...




#6 Take by Ella Frank

Despite that the plot is simple, with one hero (Jared) being openly gay and the other (Matt) honestly believing to be straight, Marie Sexton brings the story to life through its details. Given any premise, one can expect certain behaviors and events to happen in due course, and these behaviors and events are all touched on.
