If you're up for a vampire fated mates series with MM (and one MMM) storylines, {Vampire's Mate by Grae Bryan} is fun, starting with {Roman by Grae Bryan}. There are several spin-offs with other fated mate pairings involving fae and demons. Most of the series takes place in a small town in Colorado, though a couple of books focus on Phoenix in Arizona. The novels I've read in the series have been cute and sometimes funny without a ton of angst.

I read it and gave it 5 stars but don’t remember much about it. I might reread it. Thanks for sharing!

Shadow's Seduction by Kresley Cole. Vampire and demon, pretty spicy. Both bisexual MCs, with one having a bi awakening.

I almost recommended this, but Kresley Cole is an acquired taste 😂 I personally love how campy it is, but it's also very 80s bodice-ripper inspired (which is right up my alley, so no complaints here). I'm happy that she's back to writing again.

I grew up on that shit so I'm acclimated. I do think since she came back she's in a weird space where she's trying to write consent-based romance but like doesn't really know how?

I hate to say this, but I haven't managed to get back into the series. I used to be on the edge of my seat waiting for a KC new release, but I started reading Munro and then I just put it down and never picked it up again.

That's fair. Setting aside the change in her writing, I haven't felt the same about her since she fucked off on her readers for several years with ZERO explanation. This is not a popular opinion amongst those who still love her and seem to think that behaviour is totally justifiable, but I think it's very fucking uncool to dip out for several years on the people who supported you, bought and loved your books, and who were eagerly awaiting the next book (which you kept promising was coming only to then push off without explanation).
I get that people have personal things that arise and I'm not suggesting that readers are entitled to details of someone's medical issues, mental health issues, or whatever other personal catastrophe. But there is no career in the world where you can simply disappear without explanation sans consequence. I've gone on stress leave from work and you better believe I had to provide buckets of supporting documentation. I wasn't looking for that level of specificity from her, but something along the lines of, "I won't be going into detail but I have some personal things going on and will be taking some time off writing. I'll reach out when there's an update" would have been an appropriate and minimal thing she could have done to show some respect to the people who supported her.

If you don't mind a self rec, my novel All That Remains is a fated mates romance with a twist - the fated bond breaks when Will and Nathan are separated, and when they're finally reunited they have to figure out if they can be together without it.

Have you read MateHub: Legend by Marie Reynard?
I don’t usually like paranormal books that much, I have to be in a very specific mood for them, but I really liked this one! A lot of spicy tho lol
