Weeps Indigo

Obsession.

It’s dangerous. Reckless. Exhilarating.

Richard enjoys watching Beau. Oftentimes, his eyes covet the way the cigarette slides easily between his lips. It’s sinful the way he looks. Ripped sleeves paired with low-hung jeans. A smirk that seems like it could survive a typhoon.

Beau Blackwell is different. Special.

Richard looks at him and can’t stop. He shouldn’t though. But, everything about him pulls Richard in, awakening something deep within long since beaten dead. As the sheriff of Byrmonville, he should know better. He shouldn’t want to taste him, to know what it feels like to be on the receiving end of his heated gaze.

There’s too much at stake.

His wife. His family. His career.

And yet, the raging fire burns brighter.

Rage Unleashed: Wrecked

Damian was getting careless.

He purposefully lingered in Sasha’s apartment, sniffing his underwear, making sure his scent bled into the fabric. He’ll die if he couldn’t have him. Have this. His sweet omega.

Professor Sasha Petrovitch wasn’t meant to be coddled; he’s meant to be wrecked.

Eviscerated.

Damian could do that. If only Sasha hadn’t rejected him. If only Sasha behaved like a proper omega and submitted to him fully then this wouldn’t be happening.

There were rules against this type of thing. Treaties. Laws and regulations against alpha’s overstepping their boundaries.

As pack leader of the Barbaric Prowlers, Damian has broken them all.

He couldn’t help himself. Words failed him once he invaded Sasha’s space. That scent. Jasmine. It drove him mad. Damian wanted to smash him open. Pull him apart as a wolf does to sheep. He’s half-possessed.

Deranged.

This maddening infatuation has destroyed him.

And the worst part was Damian, let it.

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.

Top 3 MM Paranormal Romance Books

Romance is always the go-to genre when you’re disillusioned by the realities of life. But everybody appreciates some extra flavor to their romance.

If there’s one way to add that flavor, it is through queer romances that take place in a paranormal world!

Why Read Paranormal Queer Romances?

For such a genre, you will be exposed to an open or a closed world with some dark secrets and tantalizing romance, which is more than you can ask for.

But even more important are the great plot points that can be seen from different contexts if you have the eye for it.

Best of all is when authors create elaborate maps to help the reader navigate their fictional world. It all adds up to offer a reading experience like none other – quite literally!

Finding the Best Paranormal Queer Romances

As great as the genre sounds, there aren’t many writers that have mastered the art of writing it. At best, you can find too little romance overshadowed by too much paranormal.

When looking for paranormal queer romances in novels, always look at the blurb rather than just the cover.

The cover can be very misleading, and you wouldn’t know until you’ve already invested so much time in the book.

Where can I find them?

Now you’re in luck because you can find great paranormal romances almost anywhere! But your safest bet is going to be the holy grail of all book recommendations which is Goodreads. Here is a list of my top three favorites in terms of paranormal mm romance.

1. Change of Heart by Mary Calmes

As a young gay man—and a werepanther—all Jin Rayne yearns for is a normal life. Having fled his past, he wants nothing more than to start over, but Jin’s old life doesn’t want to let him go. When his travels bring him to a new city, he crosses paths with the leader of the local were-tribe.

Logan Church is a shock and an enigma, and Jin fears that Logan is both the mate he fears and the love of his life. Jin doesn’t want to go back to the old ways, and mating would irrevocably tie him to them. But Jin is the mate Logan needs at his side to help him lead his tribe, and he won’t give Jin up so easily. It will take time and trust for Jin to discover the joy in belonging to Logan and how to love without restraint.

Genres: M M Romance, Paranormal, Shapeshifters, Romance, Fantasy, Paranormal Romance, LGBT

I loved Jin Rayne and Logan Church together! Their story was full of mystery and intrigue. A well-written piece that kept me guessing as to what was going on in Jin’s head throughout the story.

2. Captive: Beautiful Monsters #1 by Jex Lane

I loved this book! The characters were so vivid, so real. I felt like I really knew them by the end of the story. It was such a heartwarming book that resonated deeply with me. And did I mention spicy? Whew!

3. Exhale by Joel Abernathy

Two men haunted by the same ghost…

Falling for “the other man” in my marriage was never part of the plan. Then again, according to Nicolae Ursache, I am the other man, and human wedding vows don’t apply. Not to werewolves.

Nicolae is a smug, arrogant alpha male stereotype–and I do mean alpha in the literal sense–but when the same people who killed my wife kidnap my teenage daughter, he’s my only chance at getting her back. The fact that Nicolae was my wife’s rightful mate means that we share a mutual interest in bringing Ellie home, but I never could’ve imagined how he planned to do it.

I will do anything to protect my daughter. Even if it means becoming the plaything, or worse, of the man I loathe most.

This dark shifter romance contains mature subject matter.
