One of the best for beginners is 'The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue'. It combines historical settings with a love story. The main character Monty is full of energy and his relationship with Percy is full of tension and love. The adventure aspect of the story also makes it interesting for those just starting out in this genre. And 'Less' has a very accessible writing style. The main character's journey both in terms of his career and his love life is something that new readers can easily follow and enjoy.
I would recommend 'The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue' for a great nerd gay romance. It's set in the 18th century and follows Monty, a rakish young nobleman, and his best friend (and secret love), Percy. Monty is a bit of a disaster - prone nerd in his own way, especially when it comes to his feelings for Percy. 'Less' by Andrew Sean Greer is another. The main character, Arthur Less, is a somewhat bumbling and nerdy writer who goes on a journey around the world that also becomes a journey of self - discovery and love. It has a very charming and unique style.
One great nerd romance novel is 'The Rosie Project' by Graeme Simsion. It tells the story of a genetics professor with Asperger's who embarks on a project to find a wife. His journey is filled with humorous and endearing moments as he tries to navigate the world of relationships in his own unique way. Another is 'Fangirl' by Rainbow Rowell. It focuses on a fangirl who writes fanfiction and her experiences in college, including a budding romance. And 'Attachments' by Rainbow Rowell as well. It has a unique premise where an IT guy is monitoring office emails and ends up falling for one of the women through her emails.
One of the best nerd novels is 'Ready Player One' by Ernest Cline. It's set in a dystopian future where people escape into a virtual reality world called the OASIS. It's filled with 80s pop - culture references that nerds would love. Another great one is 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' by Douglas Adams. It's a comical and absurd science - fiction adventure across the galaxy. And 'Ender's Game' by Orson Scott Card is also highly regarded. It tells the story of a young boy, Ender, who is trained to fight in a future interstellar war.
Definitely 'Eleanor & Park' for young adults. It shows how two teens from different backgrounds can find love in a somewhat difficult environment. The characters are well - developed and relatable. 'The Fault in Our Stars' by John Green also has some elements of nerdy love. The two main characters bond over books and their shared experiences with illness. It's a very emotional and romantic story.
One great gay werewolf romance novel is 'Howl at the Moon' by TJ Klune. It beautifully weaves the story of a human falling in love with a werewolf, exploring themes of acceptance and self - discovery within the context of a supernatural relationship.
Another one might be 'Boyfriend Material' by Alexis Hall. It's a fun and light - hearted take on gay romance. The characters have great chemistry and the plot has some really cute and humorous moments that make it an enjoyable read for those who like this genre.
Another notable one is 'Giovanni's Room' by James Baldwin. Although not strictly a traditional vampire romance, it has elements of forbidden love and the exploration of identity in a way that can be related to the genre. The story is set in Paris and delves deep into the main character's struggle with his feelings for another man.
