First book in a really great series. The relationship between these two develops slowly, which I think makes it much more believable.

Book 3 of the Nightrunner series. By this point, Alec and Seregil are lovers. I like that the writer never cheapens her work with explicit scenes. We know they are lovers, and that is enough.

Book one of the Doctrine of Labyrinths series. This book blew me away. It can be slow going at first. KEEP READING! Once Mildmay and Felix meet up, it really gets good. This is different from the others in my list in that these two are not a couple - on is gay, one is straight. But they have a really intriguing relationship.

Book 3 in the Labyrinth series. This book suffers a little by the introduction of a third point-of-view character. But again, you'll be so intrigued by Felix and Mildmay by this point, you'll keep reading, despite the rather unwelcome addition of a woman to the mix.

Powerful, erotic, gut-wrenching, disturbing, beautiful. I still can't decide if I love Storm Constantine, or hate her.

This isn't really fantasy, and isn't really romance either, but it still belongs on my list. It's a Victorian ghost story (the writing is reminiscent of authors of the period). Also, a coming of age story, as a young man learns to accept that he prefers men. This is a YA book, so a good choice if you're looking for something without sex.

Wow! What a great book. A little more romance than previous books on the list. But also, incredibly unique and well written. I loved the old west feel - such a nice change from the standard fantasy worlds. The sex scenes between Kiernan and Ash are handled beautifully. They are deeply emotional without being overly explicit.

Not without faults, but incredibly engaging. In the midst of a bitter fight for the crown, three men choose love over all else. A happy ending, and yet balanced by the dark side of making such a choice. Some of the sex scenes were overly explicit, which I felt cheapened the book overall, but of course, that's only my opinion.

There is WAY more sex in this book than in the first one. Whether this is good or bad is obviously a matter of opinion. But still, this is not smut. It is still a story about love, and about the nature of wolves and sheep among men. The first time I read the series, I didn't like this book as well. But when I read the series a second time, this one was my favorite.

Pretty good fantasy book. The sex is a little over the top sometimes, IMO (sometimes the author uses ridiculous euphemisms for body parts, i.e. 'velvet-skinned monster'). Still, the fantasy storyline is very good. Cliffhanger ending, though, and the sequel has yet to be released.

I didn't love this one the way I loved the others. In fact, parts of it were a little disturbing. But I think it still deserves a place on my list.
