I have a very simple Mazey Eddings policy, which is that if she writes it, I’m buying it, and it’s a policy that’s so far served me very well. As such, I’m deeply optimistic about this bi4bi m/f romance, especially since I love me a mean girl MC, and I think we’re all ready for more men in slutty glasses.

The Build-a-Boyfriend Project
Bestselling and award-winning author Mason Deaver’s adult romance debut follows a journalist in a dead-end job who agrees to teach his disastrous blind date how to be a better boyfriend. Readers will delight in this sweet and steamy queer romance with trans representation!
Eli Francis is stuck. Stuck in an assistant position at the online magazine Vent when he should be a writer. Stuck with a boss who dangles a promotion but would rather he just fetch the coffee. Stuck working alongside the ex who has had no trouble moving up at work…or moving on.
When Eli’s roommates push him to date so he can get over his ex once and for all, they set him up with Peter Park. Tall, handsome, and unbelievably awkward. The date is a complete disaster, and further proof to Eli that love isn’t for him. But when his boss overhears Eli recounting the catastrophic night, he suggests teaching Peter to be a better boyfriend through a series of simulated dates so he can write an article about it.
But Eli has other ideas…Eli plays along, pretending to write the article, while secretly interviewing Peter about growing up queer in the South and coming-of-age dating wise in adulthood. Eli hopes writing this sort of piece will finally get him the promotion he deserves. And in exchange, he will teach Peter how to be a better boyfriend.
But the more time Eli spends with Peter, the closer they become, and the lines between what’s real and what’s fake begin to blur. Before long Eli is forced to face his greatest fears to become the writer he wants to be and secure the love he’s always needed.

Deaver’s debut, the nonbinary YA I Wish You All the Best, was such a smash hit that you can currently watch the movie trailer, but I’m definitely grateful they brought their talents to Adult because this fun and sexy m/m romance was an absolute delight. A must read for those grabbing every bit of trans joy they can get their hands on.

The Sun and the Moon
Like the sun and the moon, these opposites can’t escape each other’s gravitational pull in the next enchanting romance from Rebekah Faubion.
Cadence Connolly grew up in the cosmic shadow of her mother, the renown psychic Madame Moira. Now, as a park ranger in Maine, she’s carved out her own life far away from her mother’s many premonitions and tarot cards . . . until she receives an invitation to Moira’s engagement party. Cadence doesn’t know what led to the thawing of her mother’s heart, but she’ll have to return home to discover the truth.
Sydney Sinclair’s schedule as a pilot makes long-term relationships difficult, but at least she can fly anywhere in the world for free with only her emotional baggage as a carry-on. After her mom passed, it’s always been Sydney and her dad against the world, so it’s no wonder she doesn’t trust the enigmatic Madame Moira—his newly minted fiancée.
When Cadence meets Sydney, they realize they both share similar suspicions about their parents’ impending nuptials. As they begin scheming to break up their parents’ engagement—they can’t possibly be in love after such a short time together— Sydney and Cadence discover an irresistible chemistry with each other instead. Despite not believing in fate, Cadence might just have found her soulmate in Sydney.

The Lovers immediately shot onto my favorites contemporary f/f romances list last year, so I couldn’t wait for Faubion’s next offering, and it did not disappoint, though it’s got a bit of a different vibe. We’ve still got sizzling chemistry and an amazing cast, but this newest has an intriguing and twisty thread of mystery throughout that I did not see coming and definitely kept me on my toes alongside the romance.

Aspiring actress Addie’s had a crush on the professor ever since she watched her lectures on the Victorian era to prep for a stage role. Now, getting cast in Toni’s TV series could be her big break. But Addie’s in over her head when promo pictures of their fake Victorian wedding go viral. She could lose more than just her heart … and her historically accurate underthings.

Melissa Marr has built her name on fantasy (and continues to do so with her Sapphic “A Course in Magic” series), so I anxiously await seeing what she can do with a contemporary rom-com, especially since it’s got fun bookish and Hollywood angles.

I’m excited to see another spicy small-town romance from Lee, but honestly it was “book club” that sold me, because that just sounds like the absolute cutest premise for a budding romance. Plus, single mom! Librarian! So many good things!
