M/M Starter Kit

Here is my list for those readers who are new to the M/M genre and are looking for a place to start. These titles most closely resemble mainstream fiction, representing various points of interests and containing well balanced storylines. Sexual content is either limited or paced so that it complements the story without “being” the story.  For these characters, “coming out” plays little or no role in the overall storyline.

If you’ve read a story that you feel fits this criteria, please leave your comment at the bottom of this page.  Suggestions will be updated as necessary.
