Most Anticipated LGBTQ+ Adult Fiction: July-December 2024

Peregrine Seas by R.C. Ballad (July 1st) Prince Peregrine couldn’t be happier to be kidnapped by pirates. Peregrine wasn’t cut out for the restrictive life of a nobleman – he’s hungry for adventure, prone to duelling, and his family refuse to believe he’s any kind of man at all. Despite his royal origins, he has more in common with the outcasts and rebels aboard the Cygnus that anyone onshore. He…

Fall for Him by Andie Burke

Official Blurb:

Dylan Gallagher’s hot neighbor loathed him from the second he moved in, and causing a flood, falling through the floor, and landing directly onto that same neighbor’s bed probably means that’s unlikely to change. The poorly timed “It’s Raining Men” joke didn’t help. Meanwhile, ER nurse Derek Chang’s life is a literal when-rains-it-pours nightmare. A man he hates dropped into his life along with an astronomically expensive problem originating from Derek’s own apartment’s plumbing. Also, the local HOA tyrant has been sniffing around trying to fine him for his extended, illicit banned breed dog-sitting. Since Dylan also wants to keep the catastrophe quiet, he offers to fix the damage himself. Dylan’s sure he’s not Derek’s type, so he focuses all his ADHD hyper fixation energy on getting the repair job done as quickly as possible―avoiding doing anything stupid like acting on his very inconvenient crush. Meanwhile Derek tries to ignore that the tattooed nerd sleeping on the couch is surprisingly witty, smart, and kind, despite the long-term grudge Derek’s been holding against him. But will squeezing all their emotional baggage plus a dog into a tiny one-bedroom apartment be a major disaster…or just prove they’re made for each other? Fall for Him combines banter, hijinks, and heart in a story of finding out what it means to fix things after your life crumbles.

My Thoughts:

I really enjoyed Fall For Him. I've read some great romance books this year and this one is certainly going on my list of favorites. I always love it when a romance can make me laugh, cry, and swoon along with the characters. I want to feel like I went on a full emotional journey by the end! Fall For Him gave me all those feelings.

Dylan and Derek are great characters and their emotional journeys throughout the book were really well done. Some scenes seriously made me want to cheer because I felt so proud of their fictional growth.

I also loved the cast of supporting characters, Gus, and the book's humor. I really had the best time reading this! It's delightful and the ending made me shed some happy tears.

My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Tropes/Tags:  romance, rivals to lovers, forced proximity, slow burn

Spice Level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️/5. There are multiple sex scenes that are “Open Door”.

Content Warnings: Nothing major but it does focus slightly on grief. Grief is not a heavy theme in the book but it does factor into why one character is behaving a certain way and e processes this grief throughout the book.

If you liked this I think you will like Fall For Him: I think fans of Alexis Hall's contemporary romances should enjoy this book!

Other Notes: Fall For Him is a companion novel to Andie Burke's Sapphic romance from last year called Fly With Me.

Fly With Me by Andie Burke

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Olive Murphy is a flying-phobic ER nurse who is trying to get through her first ever flight, and when another passenger starts having a medical emergency she quickly jumps in to help. While Olive and her new patient make it through the flight unscathed, her heroic save goes viral bringing media attention and the chance to meet the pilot Stella Soriano. There’s instant chemistry, but nothing takes off. But with the national spotlight on them, Stella asks Olive to fake date hoping to advance her career. Can Olive and Stella remember that their relationship isn’t real, or will they give in and let their feelings fly?

Why did I love this book so much?! Probably because I am/was a healthcare worker and will relate to Olive on a spiritual level💜 Besides that…both Olive and Stella were so well written. They each were struggling with different yet similar things (mental health, grief, relationships, sexuality, etc!) and that’s what bonded them and also brought them closer (most of the time lol). This story was so genuine, and tragic, but sweet and I loved it! Everyone go read now!

Death order predictions for Alien Romulus:

1) Navarro: we already know they get chestburster-ed

2) Bjorn: maybe gets torn up by the Navarro-Xenomorph

3) Kay

4) Tyler

5) Andy: maybe a heroic sacrifice?

6) Rain Carradine: I’m actually 50/50 here. I don’t know why but I got the vibe of a horror movie where no one lives, especially since this is set before “Aliens”. Either we get -

a. happy ending and she gets rescued by Amanda Ripley

b. happy ending because she got away on her own

c. bittersweet ending since she gets rescued, only for it to be revealed her rescuers are Weyland-Yutani (which works as a retcon in “Aliens” as to why Carter Burke was sent to recover the alien eggs despite the company not believing Ripley’s story, it’s because another survivor told them a similar story)

d. she gets rescued, but is revealed to be impregnated by the last chestburster

e. sacrifices herself to destroy the ship
