Hi friends, its me, Twinsie Tenise! I will be here with you every day for the month of June hosting Twinsie Talks annual Pride month celebration. This month between the author spotlights I will be sharing my reviews for some of the books I’ve read so far this year that fit the theme. I’ve read hundreds of MM romances over the years and sometimes I like to reread old favorites. Kicking off pride month, I want to share some MM books that I read in the past then read them again in 2026.
Make sure to check back daily, you aren’t going to want to miss a thing. I hope you find lots of new to you authors with backlists to overflow your tbr piles.
The Mercenary and the Mortician by: Alexandra St. Pierre
This book was wild. It left me searching for months for a similar book. To this day, I find myself yearning for another book like this one. It was deliciously dark with some absolutely delightful side characters. Don’t even get me started on the audiobook because it was also *chefs kiss* perfection.
Jett & Leighton by: Ad Ellis
This is book 1 in the On Cravenwood Block Series. I read all of A.D’s books at least twice. The first time as one of her Alpha readers, then the next after its released. Someone in a reader group was asking for recs with a tattoo artist and I immediately thought of these 2 while also realizing I missed them. That prompted my 3rd time reading Jett & Leighton. They were so fun to get to know and watch their relationship grow. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire series.
Humbled by: Kate Hawthorne
This book became my obsession for a minute THEN the audiobook was released and I was freaking done for- Don’t ask me how many times I’ve read and listened to this book since it was released. I said don’t ask!
Black & White by: Vinni George
Oh Vinni. Getting me addicted to shifters when I had zero desire to know anything about them. Well that was until I discovered your work. Friends! If you watched and loved the old series White Collar with my boy Matt Bomer in it then you MUST check out this series. Its so good. Each book follows a different ORCA shifter brother and their group efforts to solve some Neal Cafferty-like crimes. Ugh! I just love them all so much. NO! I Will not pick a favorite.
Spencer Cohen, book 1 by: NR Walker
Daniel wants his ex back and the best person for the job is Spencer. So its a client and his matchmaker. I had friends saying it was one of their favorite books ever. Me? I wasn’t understanding the hype. I thought it wouldn’t be my thing. I knew about the series for YEARS before starting it. Now it has become yet another NR Walker book obsession. The audio is so freaking addicting. When I’m in a funk, the audio version of this book gets me through it.
