Celebrating Queer Love – Polyamorous Books

Posted July 7, 2024 by Alyssa in Reading List / 0 Comments

The final post in the series celebrating Queer love, where I was highlighting books across various sexual identities. Today’s post is highlighting polyamorous relationships in romance novels. Now, there are identities that were previously highlighted in other installments that these books would fit into. However, we are highlighting anything where all parties are loving on each other in some way shape or form. This is not a post featuring why choose where the female is the center and the love interests are only into her. I need to read more poly books and I’m so excited to share the below books with you.

Polyamorous books I’ve read and enjoyed:

  1. Celebrating Queer Love – Polyamorous BooksNot So Kind Regards by Clio Evans
    Series: Warts & Claws Inc. #1
    Published by Clio Evans Author on August 30, 2022

    It’s just another Monster Monday…
    Inferna expected many things to happen— but sparks flying between her, the office rival, and his lover was not one of them.

    Calen is a nerdy omega witch, one that Inferna wants to sink her teeth into. Art is a stuck-up boss but can be a little more charming outside the regular 9-5.

    After an evil HR agent shows up with an agenda, everything starts to change. No one is safe, tensions are high, and the creatures of Warts & Claws Inc will have to fight spell and claw to make it to the weekend.

    Can Inferna, Calen, and Art survive a work week from hell while discovering a love that’s off the charts?

  2. Celebrating Queer Love – Polyamorous BooksThe Beast by Katee Robert
    Series: Wicked Villains #4
    Published by Trinkets and Tales LLC on December 17, 2020
    Genres: Fiction / Romance / Contemporary
    Pages: 250
    Goodreads
    Also by this author: An Indecent Proposal

    Once upon a time, I fell in love with two men. 

    Gaeton, with his brash charm and casual cruelty. 

    Beast, his lust equal to his penchant for violence.

    Being with them was sinful and perfect in different ways. Their feelings for me were matched only by their hatred for each other.

    In the end, I couldn’t choose, and I lost them both. 

    Now, my sisters have tasked me with securing our power base, no matter the cost. I will do anything for my family—even if it means agreeing to the terms set by Gaeton and Beast. 

    The three of us. Together. But only for as long as it takes me to choose one of them once and for all. 

    When playing games of power, happily ever after isn’t a priority. Not even for me. 

    Especially not for me.

  3. Celebrating Queer Love – Polyamorous BooksHeadless by Aveda Vice
    Published by Bad Bite LLC on April 29, 2021

    Goodreads

    An erotic polyamorous retelling of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

    Everyone knows the story.

    The Headless Horseman rides on Halloween night, collecting the souls of the damned — until the year Brom Bones disappears, and Ichabod Crane and Katrin Van Tassel find nothing but a smashed pumpkin in his wake.

    They grieve the loss until the fateful anniversary arrives again...and with it comes a visitor. Shadowed and headless, appearing in their doorway and driving them to ecstasy in their bed.

    It becomes tradition: every year, they wait for him. Every year, he comes.

    The one night the town fears the Horseman most is the night he rides for more than death.

    Warning: This book features a MMF relationship between Brom Bones/the Headless Horseman, Ichabod Crane, and Katrina Van Tassel. It is intended only for adult audiences.

    Unbridled and unconventional, this gripping short story follows the ghostly lines we cross for love.

    On the brink of losing her position as a maid and with no prospects to go on, the offer of a place at Rooksgrave Manor-a house of ill and unusual repute-sounds like a perfect fit for a young woman with Esther's inclinations. Even better, the invitation comes by the hand of the handsome Dr. Underwood, a delicate gentleman with a ferocious alter ego who knows exactly what he wants from Esther.

    Upon arrival, the men and the daily decadence of the manor feel too good to be true for a girl of Esther's station. There are rules to be followed, expectations to meet, and Esther is afraid she might be too wicked even for a place like Rooksgrave.

    Temptations lurk around every shadowy corner and Esther has never been a girl able to resist. But the risk of disappointing her new gentlemen isn't all that's threatening Esther's new position. Rooksgrave Manor's protections for its unusual patrons are failing, the wards are crumbling, and Esther's new and exquisitely pleasurable life may all come tumbling down.

    'To the boys in apartment 5A. Congratulations. You have a kid.' That's what the note attached to the abandoned baby carrier says. And now my three gorgeous neighbors are in deep trouble. None of them have a clue how to look after the baby that's been left on their doorstep. Luckily, there's a nanny in the building. I can barely believe my eyes when the sizzling boys next door come knocking for my help. The truth is, I've been secretly crushing on the guys in 5A for years--and now I finally have an excuse to meet them all. There's Jack, the sweet, nerdy game designer with the infectious smile. Cyrus, the flirty dancer whose smooth moves melt my brain into goo. And Sebastian, the ripped businessman with the smoldering stare. Every day, I go to their apartment to take care of the baby. And every night, they take care of me. It doesn't take long for our arrangement to get steamy. Soon, I'm falling for all three of them. It's a dangerous game. These men are my bosses, not my boyfriends, and I've already told them that romance isn't in the cards. But every molten look and stomach-fluttering kiss is making it harder for me to stay strong. And when work threatens to tear our fragile family apart, one thing becomes very clear: I'm sick of being the girl next door. It's time this nanny got a promotion. -- back cover.

The last thing Luka expects to come home to is his two sexy flatmates and best friends getting frisky underneath their blanket on the living room sofa. And for the first time in a long time, Luka lets himself want. It was supposed to be one video for Jordanne's and Kian's subscribers. One video. No strings attached. Except now, Jordanne and Kian don't know how to let Luka go, not after they know how fucking perfect he feels between them. And Luka feels like maybe he can risk getting his heart broken again, if it means he gets to have Jordanne and Kian forever." -- back cover

    I was supposed to have it all.

    I'd been Prom Queen, Cheer Captain - high school's most savage Queen Bee. I could have everything I wanted.

    Except them. The freaks, the weirdos, the school's ultimate losers: Manson, Jason, Lucas, and Vincent. Our hatred for each other couldn't keep us apart, not even when my own mistake got Manson expelled and made me the ultimate villain to the rest of them.

    One night was supposed to be enough.

    I couldn't resist forever. For one night I gave myself over to the men I wasn't supposed to want and satisfied the darkest parts of my soul. But some things are meant to stay in the dark. One night, and it was over.

    Nothing more than a game.

    Now, with college behind me, our worlds collide yet again. Four men, all willing to share me as their plaything until my debt to them is paid. Another game to satiate my dark cravings, the twisted rules of which bring us all even closer than before. But games aren't meant to last.

    When the debt is paid and the game is done, what if I don't want to walk away?

    Although not required, it is recommended to read the novella, The Dare, prior to reading Losers.

    This book is part 1 of a duet. It is is First Person, Multi POV.

    Losers is an 18+ polyamorous bisexual romance between one woman and four men, including MF, MM, and group scenes. Reader discretion is strongly advised, this is a dark read. This book contains graphic sexual scenes, intense scenes of BDSM, graphic violence, and strong language. A full content note can be found in the front matter of the book.
