*claps* AUDIBLE RECS ARE MY JAM!!!

Okay, so, River Jaymes writes these books that seem like they should be total ridiculous tropey trash but then boom, ahaha gotcha! Twisted the fucking trope on you! The Backup Boyfriend started as a "pretend boyfriend" trope story and then went hard right into feelings and issues and sexuality spectrum discussions and sex act versatility and omg it was great. I was legitimately shocked.

The sex in Roan Parrish's stuff is really Top/Bottom but I can look past it because she writes interactions and characterization and family drama really well. Like, I gave a lot of shits about the crap in the family of her two novels and I don't like 1st person POV.

Everything by Anna Zabo is fantastic. Her sex roles tend to be a little rigid in the D/s side of things but again, i tend to let that shit go because everything is so rich and interesting and fun and smart that I don't care about who fucks who. Her characters are culturally diverse and she writes business settings like businesses actually function not in a handwavy sort of magic of chit-chat and coffee all day. I love her, although Due Diligence was not my favorite.

I dont actually know if Hot Head by Damon Suede is actually good or not. I couldn't tell if it was good or Charlie David's reading of it was really good or both. Whichever it was, I was hit in the face with feelings. It was a "gay for you" best friends situation and there was definitely a nice freakout there but it wasn't too awkwardly written for me to feel tripped up by it.

And I saved the best for last - The Society of Gentlemen by KJ Charles. Politically and historically accurate m/m romantic fiction that slays. It's so good. It's so fucking fucking good. The reader is good. The stories are good. The universe it built is good. It's good. I just. Ugh. I learned more about English government and political history from this than I did from 20 years of university. I cannot recommend this series enough. It takes into account the importance of class to people of the time and doesnt hand wave it away just because we, the readers, dont like the idea anymore. Charles recognizes it, uses it, sometimes embraces it, sometimes doesn't acknowledge it and sometimes rebels against it - depending on the character and their relationship to class and power. But yeah. It's fucking great. The second one is my favorite. I may have to go relisten actually. Damn.
