As a reader and a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I believe that gay historical romance is an important genre that offers a unique perspective on history and the human experience. It allows us to explore the past in a new way and to see the struggles and triumphs of our ancestors through a different lens. In this article, I will explore why gay historical romance is so important and what it means to people today.

1. It's a new perspective on history

One of the main reasons why gay historical romance is so important is that it offers a new perspective on history. Historically, the experiences and perspectives of LGBTQ+ people have been largely ignored or erased from the historical record. Gay historical romance allows us to see the past through the eyes of characters who are like us and to understand the ways in which our ancestors navigated a world that was often hostile to their existence.

2. It allows us to connect with our past

Another reason why gay historical romance is so important is that it allows us to connect with our past in a way that is often not possible with other genres. These stories often feature characters who are struggling to find acceptance and love in a world that does not understand or accept them. By exploring these themes, the genre allows us to understand the ways in which our ancestors dealt with similar struggles and to see the progress that has been made over time.

3. It helps us understand the importance of representation

Finally, gay historical romance is important because it helps us understand the importance of representation. When we see ourselves reflected in the stories that we read, it allows us to understand that we are not alone and that our experiences are valid. Gay historical romance allows LGBTQ+ people to see that they have always existed and that their stories and experiences are worth telling.

In conclusion, gay historical romance is an important genre that offers a new perspective on history, allows us to connect with our past, and helps us understand the importance of representation. It allows us to see ourselves and our experiences reflected in the past and to understand the progress that has been made over time. It is a genre that is not only entertaining but also offers a meaningful and powerful experience for readers. It is a way to connect with our past and to remember the struggles and triumphs of our ancestors, and to understand that we are not alone in this world.

Dark MM romance is a subgenre of gay romance that explores darker themes, such as abuse, trauma, and power imbalances. It has become a popular genre among readers and writers alike, and there are a few reasons why it resonates with so many people.

1. It explores real-life issues

One of the main reasons why dark MM romance is so popular is that it deals with real-life issues that many people can relate to. The characters in these stories often struggle with mental health issues, past traumas, and difficult relationships. By exploring these themes, the genre offers a sense of validation and understanding for readers who may have gone through similar experiences.

2. It allows for character growth and development

Another reason why dark MM romance is so popular is that it allows for the characters to grow and develop in a way that is often not possible in more lighthearted stories. The struggles and challenges that the characters face in these stories force them to confront their own demons and work through their issues. This character growth is satisfying for readers and also allows for a deeper emotional connection with the characters.

3. It pushes boundaries and challenges societal norms

Dark MM romance also challenges societal norms and pushes boundaries in a way that other genres often do not. These stories often feature characters who are considered outsiders or societal misfits, and they often explore themes that are considered taboo or controversial. By doing so, they challenge readers to question their own beliefs and prejudices and to see the world in a different way.

In conclusion, dark MM romance is a popular genre in gay romance because it explores real-life issues, allows for character growth and development, and pushes boundaries and challenges societal norms. The genre resonates with many readers because it offers a sense of validation and understanding for those who have gone through similar experiences and also challenges readers to question their own beliefs and prejudices. It may not be for everyone, but for those who enjoy it, it offers a powerful and meaningful reading experience.

2. Stalking My Mate: Assassins Inc. #5 By Stormy Glenn

Stalker – I was stalking my mate and I had good reason. He was bonded to someone else, but that didn’t absolve me of my duty to him, or my obsession. Making sure he was happy and safe, even if it wasn’t with me, was just something I had to do. When I discovered he wasn’t, all bets were off.

Jojo – I’d given up the dream of a mate in exchange for the life of my son. It was an exchange I willingly gave to have Tommy with me. When our lives were threatened, escaping with Tommy was my only option. I just wasn’t sure where we were going to escape to or who could help us, but someone had to. I’d already lost my mate. I couldn’t lose my son.

I need him. But I’ve never needed anyone.

In a world where paranormal creatures live amongst us and must follow certain laws, living life as a dangerous loner works for vampire Ethan. Inhabiting his gleaming apartment, wearing his designer suits, jetting around the world as a fanged killer-for-hire, Ethan does it all alone.

That is, until he literally runs into Tristan. Tristan, who is clearly trouble wrapped in skinny jeans and an oversized sweater. Tristan, with his shock of angelic blond curls. Tristan, who plays piano more beautifully than the old masters– and Ethan would know; he saw Beethoven.

Tristan is gorgeous, a little sassy, and irresistible. Also, Ethan is horrified to note, Tristan has no idea how incredibly tempting he is to things that go bump in the night.

Overcome by the urge to keep Tristan safe, Ethan begins to… well, stalk is such a strong word. What starts as an obsession quickly becomes something more, something that Ethan needs. And to his surprise, Tristan seems to need him, too…

This darkly romantic tale delivers steamy passion and a happily ever after. Be advised that Handsome Death includes explicit m/m content, stalking, mentions of past abuse, and graphic violence.
