If you love the fake relationship trope, you will love this one! There is a little bit of overlap in this series with characters but it’s not major and you definitely don’t need to read them in order. We have another steamy one on our hands, lets be real, they’re all a little, or a lot, steamy. The ‘relationship’ itself was really fun to watch too, hot as well.

That’s basically my entire reasoning behind this one. Trick Play is the second book in the fake boyfriend series and i loved it because, well, i love a good fake relationship trope.Trick Play (Fake boyfriend #2) by Eden Finley.When i finished book one (Strong Side) i was so happy to discover that there were MORE! These books are pretty steamy and come along with that american football drama. And this is one of those times where the similar plots are something i’m here for. All three of these Eastshore Tigers books follow the same general premise: Two football players having intense chemistry on the field, but things aren’t so easy off it.Eastshore Tigers (Strong Side, False Start, Trick Play) by Alison Hendricks.This one certainly didn’t disappoint and i highly recommend for those looking for a meatier YA book that’s still romance focused. As soon as i read ‘son of my mothers murderer’ it was instantly on my TBR. The thing that drew me into the book was definitely the plot surrounding Skylar and Rafael. Skylar is also mute and there is some really good integration of ASL. This book focuses on Native American culture, Skylar and the son of the man who murdered Skylar’s mum. On this list, Gives Light is the most plot focused with the romance, while still amazing, is the least…graphic.In no particular order here are my favourite MM romances!

Also, if anyone doesn’t know, MM means male/male, gay, queer, amazingness.

I’ve found that when i’m down in a dreaded reading slump, nothing can pull me out of it faster than some gritty, steamy MM romance. The ones that have little to no important (to you anyway) plot and sex on every other page. You know the ones: mass market or kindle only. Within the last two years i’ve really gotten into reading some of that cringe yet amazing romance novels.
