Glitterland by Alexis Hall, older grumpy writer with bipolar disorder and depression gets together with a young 'glitter pirate' model from Essex. Review (Buy links are currently down due to rights reversion.)

CW for homophobia, death of a newborn.įor Real by Alexis Hall, RITA award winning BDSM m/m romance, with a young, inexperienced dominant and an older, slightly jaded submissive. It's very moving and emotional, made it into my list of best reads of 2017. Reviewĭear Mona Lisa by Al Steward and Claire Davis - contemporary m/m, one MC has synesthesia (the first time reading something like that for me). Two older MCs, one disabled who just discovers he is bi, the other - gentle, weird in love with his ex brother-in-law forever).

ReviewĪutumn by Cole McCade, m/m romance, part of Crow City series but can be read as standalone. BDSM romance between a seditious publisher and a man of law, fraught with tension and a hard-won, at times seemingly impossible HEA. Seditious Affair is part of the Society of Gentlemen series and needs to be read in order. This is my favourite book by KJ Charles, together with Simon Feximal (it could also be included here, though the MCs are younger at the beginning of the book but we follow them through a couple of decades of them being together). Rogue Acts, Ruby Lang's The Long Run and Olivia Dade's Cover Me, two short stories, my first by these authors but quite good, made me want to read more of their work.Ī Seditious Affair by KJ Charles. I do however appreciate her focus on older MCs, giving her men and women a chance at love/family. They are addictive, absolutely cracktastic but also problematic on many levels. I have a love/hate relationship with KA books. In fact most of her romances feature MCs in their late 30s, early 40s and older. The 'Burg and The Colorado Mountains series by Kristen Ashley. it's a lovely, tender romance with MCs in their 50s.

It's part of the Amour et Chocolate series but works well on its own. Sun-Kissed (Snow Queen #2) by Laura Florand. As usual for my What to read posts, I asked for more recommendations on Twitter and, not surprisingly, romance twitter delivered. These were Olivia Dade's Cover Me and Rube Lang's The Long Run in the Rogue Acts Anthology. I recently read two stories with older MCs, which I absolutely adored, and this gave me the idea to compile this list. In my defense there doesn't seem to be that many out there - an age gap with one MC being in their 40s-50s seems to be much more common in romance. I admit I haven't read as many romances with older MCs as I would have liked. In her recommendations section, you'll find links to her reviews. Today we're sharing one of Ellie's posts from Ellie Reads All the Books! This post is all about romance novels with older main characters (MCs), a request we see often from Romance Twitter.
