It’s that time of year again people. The time where we, the voracious and obsessive readers of LGBTQ romance, look back and reflect on what an amazing year of books it’s been. If you’re anything like us then you’re already compiling your 2019 “To Read” list, but first, let’s share some of our favourite books from the year just gone.
Over the next few weeks we’ll be posting our top reads of the year. Please feel free to tell us your own favourites, or simply comment on our choices.

Lincoln Park (Links in the Chain #1) by Parker Williams
I love everything he writes. We all have that one or a few authors we automatically go to and he’s one for me. This story is great too. Just fabulous. One man who is determined to make things right in the world and one who softens him to do so. Love this book.
A Wish Upon the Stars (Tales from Varania #4) by TJ Klune
TJ is another one of those authors for me. The emotion he writes in his books. It’s phenomenal. I have not read a book of his I did not like. This whole series is just amazing. And even though this is a fantasy series, it’s impact is no joke.
Frankie – Unforgettable (Man Up #3) by Felice Stevens
I actually love the series but Frankie was by far my favorite. He’s just a ball of strength and goodness in a little package and was determined never to give up. I just love him.
Invitation to the Blues (Small Change #2) by Roan Parrish
We all have that one book that reaches us more than any other one and this one was it for me. As much as I love books, I have never had one hit so close to him and make me feel like someone got it. Got me. It is a powerful book. I will never forget it.
Liam for Hire (London Stories #2) by A. Zukowski
The first book ‘The Boy Who Fell to Earth’s was powerful in it’s own right and when this one came out, I had to read it. They are not easy, happy-go-lucky books to read but the message is dynamic. Absolutely beautiful.
Hiding the Moon (Fish Out of Water #4/Racing for the Sun #2) by Amy Lane
Another fabulous series that if you guys aren’t keeping up with, you should go get right now. Have mercy. And we are all hoping there will be another with sweet Jai 😉 teehee. As always it keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Claimed (Breaking Free #7) by A.M. Arthur
As you all should know by now, I have a serious thing for a/b/o relationships. Each book in this series just confirmed my love for omegas. They kick ass. Every story shows every one has a right to equality and no one is weaker than the next.
Beta’s Surrender (Irresistible Omegas #3) by Nora Phoenix
I haven’t read book 4 yet. It’s on my carosel but this is another of those a/b/o series that I couldn’t put down. Most of the time I adore the omegas more than anyone, and I still do, but I love the alpha/beta in this one. He gave up his role as alpha to call himself beta because that’s who he felt he is. Strong message.
King Daniel (The Lost and Founds #6) by Edmond Manning
This series. Holy hell. I wept, I laughed, I wanted to smack the main character like crazy lol. But each story had a different message to it. And it wasn’t hard to find. You just had to be open to it. As much as I hated this series ending, I was never more happy to see one man get what he finally needed and feel whole.
This one was special to me because it was from the south and it was just home for me. Seeing it fall together was just amazing. And the message is strong in this one as well. Be who you are meant to be.
I love all kinds of books, especially ones with a message. I’m sorry I couldn’t list everyone on this list but know that each book I read good or bad leaves something with me. Keep following your dreams and thank you for allowing us to be a part of that dream. I can’t wait to see what you all come up with in 2019!!
Thanks for sharing your list, Becca. Hiding the Moon is high on my to-read list, but I still need to read Fish out of Water first. Also need to catch up with Tales from Verania. So many books, not enough time xD
