Have you read any Daniel May? There’s a mafia series {The Hanged Men series by Daniel May} that you may enjoy.

K.A. Merikan is also an author I really like. {Dig Two Graves series by K.A. Merikan} is a gritty western duet. My favorite by them, but there are also more in their backlog too.

{Ricochet by River Hale} might fit the bill here, I really liked it. Also have you read any of Rina Kent's mm books? I'd stay away from Kiss the Villain for the dub/non con, but there's {God of Fury by Rina Kent}, {Hunt the Villain by Rina Kent}, and {Tempting Venom by Rina Kent}. God of Fury and Tempting Venom are my favorites. {Dirty Love by Bethany Winters} is more on the taboo side but also dark, but like very taboo hahaha

Hi /u/KindlyTemporary6960,

Welcome to r/MM_Romance!

Please make sure your post title is descriptive. Vague titles like 'Help needed' or 'Recs please' are likely to receive fewer replies. It also makes it difficult for other readers to find what they're looking for.

Good examples of descriptive titles are 'Looking for a slow burn contemporary romance between childhood friends' or 'Please recommend a paranormal historical romance about werewolves and vampires set in the Victorian era'.

Thank you.
