Which are the best-selling gay erotic fiction stories?

There’s not exactly a New York Times’ best-seller list for gay erotic fiction books, but we can get a sense of what’s selling well by looking at Amazon’s rankings in the gay erotic fiction category.

Here’s what’s currently in the Top 10 of best-sellers for gay erotic fiction:

1.Confession by Rina Saint

I’ve been keeping secrets from my boss. I have to. Because how the hell do you tell a straight man that you’ve been in love with him for years?

2.Chokehold by Leigh Rivers

They’re supposed to be enemies. It takes one night with a masked man to change that all. They crave the next touch of the person they hate the most. Desperate for that next taste of the person they can’t stand. Waiting for that anonymous text message to accelerate their heartbeats. The thrill of the chase with the forbidden fruit is enough to blur the lines and the world around them. The first problem? They both have girlfriends. The worst problem? They’re stepbrothers.

3.Possession by Rina Saint

I’m a beast pacing around my cage waiting for the next fight. It’s all I have, those brief moments of rage and destruction. It’s a sort of freedom. Then I go back into the cold, dark emptiness.

That’s why I don’t speak anymore. What’s the point? I stopped being human a long time ago. I’ve given up on anything but that cycle of violence and isolation—until they throw him into my cage. They expect me to kill him as soon as he gets me through my injuries. That’s what I usually do. People thrown in with me make so much noise with their begging that I have to kill them to shut them up. But Lucas is different. He’s quiet. Lost. He intrigues me.

4.Shut up and Score by Kit Jade

Secrets don’t stay hidden forever. And the closer we get to the truth, the harder it is to tell if we’re headed for redemption or one last disaster.

5.Pit Stop by Cora Rose

The summer before my senior year of college was supposed to be simple: lose my virginity, avoid all unnecessary drama, and keep my mind focused on my future career far away from this small town.
Easy enough.
Too bad my newly emerged omega instincts have other plans and my first heat cycle hits me like a freight train with no brakes and zero respect for timing.

6.The Mercenary and the Mortician by Alexandra St Pierre

Callum Walker kills people for a living. Although he doesn’t get a say in who his boss puts on his list, he likes to hunt people who hurt children in his spare time. After a misunderstanding that leads Callum to believe Ryan Fairview - a local funeral director - is responsible for hurting one of the neighbourhood children, he finds his next target.

7.Break the Ice by Blane Bellamy

Theo is the love of my life, but I can't tell him. Only a few people know I'm gay, and he isn't one of them. We've been best friends since we were sixteen, and he's my everything. The thought of losing him terrifies me. He's the sunshine in a life filled with pain from my mother and her awful boyfriends. When Theo rescues me from Louie, my mom's latest dirtbag boyfriend, and we end up cozy in his bed, things start to shift. Could he feel the same way about me as I do about him?

8.Make Me by Alina May

I used to be a cop, and now I kill people for fun. Yeah, yeah I know. Never admit to your crimes. But you don’t know who I am. To you, I’m just words in a blurb. Besides, I don’t plan on living that long anyway.

9.Box Hill by Adam Mars-Jones

In Box Hill, a vivid coming-of-age novel, a young man suddenly wakes up to his gay self—on his eighteenth birthday, when he receives the best gift ever: love and sex.

10.Want Me by Neve Wilder

Two roommates. One calculus exam. A whole lot of extracurricular activity.
