Read These 5 Romance Books For Pride Month

People, June has arrived! It’s Pride Month. Even though you totally have to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community all year round, definitely take the chance to give them extra love during Pride Month. Share their successes, businesses, creations, and passions. Because we love books over here, today I’m sharing some romance titles you might want to pick up as soon as possible.

If you didn’t know, Pride Month takes place in the month of June to honor the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York City. They were the spark of something much bigger; they helped the gay rights movement, pushing forward political activism, and creating numerous gay rights organizations. One of the main leaders in the riots was a bisexual Black trans woman named Marsha P. Johnson, and after the events at Stonewall, she became a fixture in the community, always helping trans youth.

To celebrate Pride Month, let’s talk about some awesome books with LGBTQ+ representation.

Keep Me Close by RM Virtues

RM Virtues gave us an epic series inspired by the Greek myths. Keep Me Close is the second book in this series, but can be read as a standalone perfectly. Although I do recommend reading the first one, only because it’s so good too. In this novel, you’ll meet Aphrodite and Hephaestus who hate each other big time.

 

Unfortunately for them, Hades assigns Hephaestus as Aphrodite’s bodyguard after an attempt at her life. Now, staying in closed quarters, Heph and Aphrodite will realize that they might have more in common than they originally thought. 

Sweethand by NG Peltier

Sweethand is a childhood enemies find out that they have to be maid of honor and best man for an upcoming wedding! Cherisse is done thinking about love, being there and done that. She rather wants to completely focus on her baking business fully now. But then she gets the news that her sister has made her maid of honor for her wedding, but the groom has made her nemesis the best man?!

Keiran and Cherisse have never seen eye-to-eye, but organizing all of these events before the wedding, having all of these duties together, is bringing them closer… and maybe those fireworks they’re feeling aren’t just a one-time thing.

Astrid Parker Doesn’t Fail by Ashley Herring Blake

 

Herring Blake’s upcoming F/F romance, Astrid Parker Doesn't Fail, comes out in November, but it’s clear that everyone is excited about it. After a failed engagement, Astrid Parker wants to focus on her career rather than love. When she is offered to renovate the Everwood Inn and appear in the show Innside America, she takes that opportunity to put aside her not-so-great love life.

 

But she never expected Jordan Everwood, the lead carpenter for the inn’s renovation. Astrid wants modern while Jordan wants to preserve the history of the inn… The tension is running high and these two will have to leave their dislike for each other behind to turn this into something successful!
