This book chronicles the pairing of Luke, a closeted preacher, and Vance, a talented rising star in the art world. The two have natural chemistry despite the forbidden nature of their relationship. They agree it's better to stay away from each other, but luckily for us, they do no such thing.
Worship takes place over a few years and describes the emotional angst, intense emotions, and of course, passionate sex scenes as they wrestle with their feelings for each other.

#2 The Master Will Appear by L.A. Witt
If you've been following our blog, you know we're suckers for a romance with an age gap. This book delivers the perfect age gap gay romance with BDSM tones.
Ryan O'Connor is a classic jock. He's a fencer at the local club, and his ego isn't quite backed by his skills. Dr. Misha Budnikov senses this and challenges him to a duel to take him down a peg. After successfully humbling him, Misha is stunned when Ryan asks the older man to train him.
Their private fencing lessons become a different kind of swordplay as Misha starts teaching Ryan about dominance and the BDSM world. Misha's experience makes him the perfect teacher for Ryan.
However, Ryan has a few trust issues that make it difficult for him to open up. Misha sets to work on dismantling these defenses, but it's not quite as easy as he thinks.
Some romance novels are heavy on the steam but lack the character development to back it up. This book delivers the perfect balance of both. The romance feels honest and emotional, the characters are three-dimensional, and the sex scenes are spaced out perfectly to keep them fresh and exciting every time.

Gay Mind Control Stories and Gay Hypnosis Stories
Mind control and hypnosis have a special place in gay erotic fiction books. Both can be used to push sexual boundaries, but there are a few differences between the two.
In this article, we discuss the difference between mind control and hypnotism. If you need a refresher, here's a brief overview:
Hypnotism is an induced state where the conscious mind is switched off, and the subconscious is open to suggestions from the hypnotist. However, hypnotists agree that it can't make you go against your fundamental nature. Instead, it simply removes the inhibitions of your conscious mind.
Some real-life hypnotists can even induce an orgasm with just their voice and the power of suggestion. They've also been able to help gay men experiment and build confidence with topping and bottoming.
On the other hand, mind control uses psychological or supernatural tricks like telepathy to get partial or complete control of the subject. Mind control is used in gay romance books to play with power and dominance. And hell, they are all on the edge, steamy and sexy!
The rest of this list will be our favorite Gay mind control and hypnosis stories! But be aware: if you are a beginner reader, those books might break some taboos you haven't even thought about!

#9 Gay Mind Control by B.J. King
The title of this book is pretty on the nose. Cooper works as a pharmaceutical researcher, and he's been working on an experimental new drug, which can best be described as a love potion.
