10 Gay Werewolf Books (MM Fantasy Romance)
Gay werewolf books span various genres, including contemporary romance, urban fantasy, paranormal romance, and even erotica. They offer diverse narratives, from emotionally driven character studies to action-packed adventures.
I will discuss 10 books that represent werewolf and gay romance. These books offer us a unique mix of paranormal fantasy and LGBTQ+ romance. Moreover, they provide representation for gay readers and explore identity, self-acceptance, love, and the complexities of relationships within the context of the werewolf mythology. Let’s begin!
1. Wolfsong by TJ Klune
Let’s start with the heart-stopper, the legend, the must-read in this genre. Wolfsong is a coming-of-age story, but with werewolves—and it’s got big emotions. You follow Ox, a quiet, good-hearted guy who doesn’t see himself as anything special. When he meets Joe, a young werewolf with a tragic past, their connection is instant, intense, and unmistakably magical. Klune doesn’t hold back on the feels: there’s laughter, heartbreak, and some seriously steamy tension as Ox and Joe figure out love amid pack loyalty and supernatural chaos.
What’s amazing about Wolfsong is the writing—lyrical and a little gritty, perfect for immersing you in the rural, pine-scented world of Green Creek. It’s also a slow burn, so you get all the agonizingly sweet moments of will-they-won’t-they. If you love stories with pack dynamics, found families, and redemption arcs, Wolfsong is your ride.
2. The Last Wolf by RJ Scott
This one’s a little lighter on the angst, heavier on the romance, and perfect if you’re in the mood for some action, mystery, and a fresh take on shifter culture. The story follows Nick, a reluctant werewolf who’s been on his own for years. He crosses paths with Cameron, a detective with secrets of his own, and sparks immediately fly. Think of it as the werewolf edition of a buddy cop drama, only way hotter.🔥
Scott weaves a ton of suspense into this one, and it’s got some seriously sweet moments, especially as Nick’s hardened heart begins to melt for Cameron. Their chemistry is palpable, the action scenes intense, and the emotional depth packs a punch. It’s a great mix of urban fantasy and romance with lovable characters.
3. Until Forever Comes by Cardeno C.
Until Forever Comes is unique because it combines a bit of humor with high-stakes adventure, all while serving up a very unlikely romance. Here, Ethan is a werewolf, but he’s the runt of the pack and feels like a total outsider. Enter Miguel, a vampire. Yup, you read that right—a vampire! This is enemies-to-lovers with a supernatural twist, as werewolves and vampires are not supposed to mix.
The banter is fantastic, and Ethan’s snarky inner monologue had me cracking up more than once. It’s a fun, sexy read with plenty of steam, and watching Ethan find someone who sees him for who he really is? Chef’s kiss. If you’re looking for a light-hearted read with plenty of bite (literally), this is a winner.
4. Feral by Alexa Land
Alexa Land is known for her humor, and Feral delivers with a paranormal twist. This story follows Cade, a human who, after a dangerous encounter, discovers he’s a werewolf—and not just any werewolf but one with rare abilities. He’s swept into pack politics, meets a grumpy yet irresistible Alpha, and is thrown into a world he never asked for.
The chemistry between Cade and his alpha mate, Maverick, is intense. And Maverick’s brooding, alpha-male energy? Let’s just say he’s got the “tall, dark, and growly” trope down pat. It’s the perfect balance of humor, romance, and supernatural drama, ideal for those who love werewolf tropes with a touch of comedy.
5. Pack Mates by Lynn Tyler
If you’re in the mood for a sweet, feel-good story with a sprinkle of spice, Pack Mates hits the spot. It follows Noah, a young werewolf struggling to find his place, and Luca, a confident, mature alpha who feels an instant pull to protect and care for Noah. Their relationship grows from tentative friendship to deep affection, and there’s a lovely warmth to their bond.
This book shines in its portrayal of pack life and family bonds, focusing on loyalty, trust, and healing from past trauma. It’s lower on the angst but rich in emotion, making it the perfect cozy romance to curl up with on a rainy day.
6. A Ferry of Bones & Gold by Hailey Turner
Here’s where things get epic. This book is part romance, part urban fantasy, and full-on action. Patrick, a werewolf and a supernatural Special Agent, is tasked with keeping magical creatures in line. When he meets Jono, a gorgeous, scrappy werewolf who doesn’t fit into any pack, the chemistry is explosive. The two team up to face off against dark forces that threaten their world.
Turner’s world-building is incredible. You’re swept into a universe where werewolves, gods, and other paranormal beings exist side by side, each with their own agendas. It’s thrilling, it’s romantic, and Jono and Patrick’s dynamic? Straight fire.🔥
7. The Alpha King by Victoria Sue
If you want some royal werewolf romance, The Alpha King serves it up. This is about Kit, a human omega who catches the eye of a powerful werewolf king. Kit’s journey from a life of hardship to becoming a confident mate to his Alpha King is swoon-worthy. And the King? Let’s just say he’s protective, possessive, and absolutely devoted.
It’s a Cinderella story with a paranormal twist. The book tackles themes of identity and self-worth, and watching Kit come into his own was beautiful. There’s plenty of steam and some delightful courtly drama, perfect for fans of royal romance.
8. Werewolves of Chernobyl by K. Sterling
Okay, this one’s got a unique premise! Set near the infamous Chernobyl, this story has a spooky, almost eerie vibe. Alex, a doctor, joins a group studying the paranormal effects in the area and encounters a werewolf pack that’s…not your typical shifters. Alex and the mysterious pack leader, Luka, develop an intense connection that’s both tender and electrifying.
The setting is atmospheric, and the mystery surrounding the pack gives the romance a forbidden edge. It’s unusual, haunting, and perfect if you’re in the mood for something a little darker with a historical twist.
9. How to Howl at the Moon by Eli Easton
This one’s a rom-com delight in the werewolf universe! How to Howl at the Moon is quirky, funny, and just plain adorable. Lance, a protective werewolf sheriff, is suspicious of the new guy in town, Tim, a sweet but secretive gardener. Lance shifts to keep an eye on him, but things get messy (and hilarious) when he starts falling for Tim.
The humor here is spot-on, and it’s one of those lighthearted reads where you’re grinning from start to finish. If you’re new to the genre and want something that’s more cozy than dark, this is a great place to start.
10. The Wolf at the Door by Charlie Adhara
This book combines mystery, romance, and werewolf lore in a sleek, gripping package. The story follows FBI agent Cooper Dayton as he’s paired with werewolf agent Oliver Park. It’s all enemies-to-lovers goodness as they navigate paranormal crime scenes and simmering attraction. Cooper is skeptical, sarcastic, and very unsure of Park, who’s all stoic mystery.
It’s a smart, suspenseful, and genuinely funny read with incredible chemistry between Cooper and Park. The investigative angle adds layers to the romance, and if you love a bit of mystery alongside your werewolf romance, The Wolf at the Door is top-tier.
