Despite his immediate thoughts-like laughing in his face and telling him to kick rocks-Jordan decides that if he wants this club to continue thriving, he can’t turn away any new members. The very last thing he needs is for that same employee, Rex Bailey, to waltz into his living room and ask to join Meet Cute Club. He also needs for the new employee at his local bookstore to stop making fun of him for reading things meant for “grandmas.”

What he needs is for his favorite author to release another one of her sexy supernatural novels and more people to sign up for the romance book club that he fears is slowly and steadily losing its steam. On-page queer representation: Demisexual main character. It's an age-gap romance with an older woman, with the fake dating trope! There is slow relationship growth and the book delves into Zach's feelings about his sexuality. Can a weekend of faking it prove that Zach’s for real? But the jaded divorcée’s been hurt by playboy men before. When the line between pretence and desire blurs, Zach’s forced to face an unexpected truth: there’s nothing phoney about his need for Rae. So why does he agree to play Rae’s fake boyfriend? And why does it feel so easy? After years of performance, Zach’s desperate to be himself. Zach Davis, king of casual hookups, has a secret: the notorious womaniser craves emotional connection, and anonymous encounters leave him feeling hollow. And her young, hot-as-hell new best friend is the perfect candidate… To avoid total humiliation, Rae needs a date of her own. She’s forty, frazzled, and fed up-so attending an awards ceremony alone while her ex swans about with his new wife? Not an option. If there’s one thing Rae can’t stand, it’s pity. On-page queer representation: Non-binary & genderqueer main character, pansexual, bisexual, and non-binary supporting characters. And it's definitely a great queer romance pick. The story focuses on personal growth, commitment, and love. This is a classic romance story but only with queer people-which makes it much better.

Or maybe the problem is that the only person he’s feeling chemistry with is Sidney. It’s not Sidney’s fault the folks participating are (mostly) great people, but there’s no chemistry there. When Declan meets Sidney-a popular nonbinary YouTuber with an advice show-an opportunity presents itself: as part of The Love Study, Declan will go on a series of dates arranged by Sidney and report back on how the date went in the next episode. But he’s starting to think it’s time to start working on his issues. He’s been an office temp for literally years now, and his friends delight in telling people that he left his last boyfriend at the altar.Īnd that’s all true. want more romance book recommendations?ĭeclan has commitment issues.
