UPDATE: Where We’re At and Where We’re Going!
Hey all, These last few weeks, we took a big step forward in our long-term strategy with the introduction of our filter search, allowing visitors to narrow down on just the books they want.

Our Favorite Reads for the Week of May 21st – 27th ~ Boy Meets Boy Reviews
Snow, steam, and secrets. The latest snowstorm carries something unexpected to the doorstep of Hutch’s secluded Alaskan cabin: a stranger named Jude, the most beautiful man Hutch has ever seen. Jude says he’s in the area for a ski trip and that he fled a domineering lover, thinking he could make it into town. But Hutch is a suspicious SOB and treats his unwanted guest warily. The problem is Jude isn’t just gorgeous, he’s funny and smart and flirtatious. Two gay men snowed in for three days—things happen. Really good things. By the time the storm clears, Hutch finds himself a little too attached to Jude Devereaux, San Francisco-based male … Read more

Tag Team Review: Shelter the Sea (The Roosevelt #2) by Heidi Cullinan Some heroes wear capes. Some prefer sensory sacks.

In addition to navigating his boyfriend’s increased depression and anxiety, Emmet … Read more
Lazy Reading Sunday – Historical
Today is our day for the weekly Lazy Reading Sunday. Each week we’ll choose a topic – a genre, pairing, or identity – and talk about our favorite reads here on the Facebook group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/queeromanceink/ Our topic today (from kaje Harper) – Historical Romance. Do you like delving into the past for your romance reading? Is there a particular time period that especially appeals to you? How important is historical accuracy to you? What’s a favorite book or series that you’ve recently read? Tell us about it. AUTHORS: Please do not use this chat to recommend your own books
Filtering in Beta Testing
Hey all, We’re now in beta testing for filtering. Basically – this means you’ll be able to filter the whole QRI list or our by genre, pairing or identity pages by a number of different fields, all at the same time, to help you narrow in on the books you want to read. Our authors are testing out a version of this now, and we’re working out how to make it user friendly and as fast as possible. We hope to launch the initial version of this next week. Stay tuned… 🙂 –Scott & Mark

Seth becomes unable to steal even a moment of intimacy with Domenico, and the tension grinds them down each day. Beyond the deceptive paradise of Toro’s villa, violence is an everyday occurrence, and the swimming pool could just … Read more
