From chaotic apartments to clumsy serves and dating apps gone wrong, these three clean gay romcoms prove that love doesn’t play by the rules but that’s what makes it fun. In one story, a neat freak’s quiet routine unravels when a carefree new flatmate moves in next door, turning late-night complaints into quiet laughs and something harder to ignore. Another follows two tennis rivals forced into an uneasy doubles partnership where teasing volleys turn into glances that last a beat too long. And when a serial swiper matches with the “wrong” guy, he learns that algorithms may fail, but connection doesn’t. Each story brims with humor, heart, and the little things that make love feel real: a shared umbrella after practice, burnt pancakes on a Sunday morning, a message typed but never sent. Sometimes the best match isn’t found it’s made by accident.

If you enjoyed the charm and humor of this book’s stories, you’ll find even more in the Swipe, Stumble, Swoon series each volume brings three new romantic comedies full of mishaps, laughter, and happily-ever-afters.

Swipe, Stumble, Swoon is a playful collection of gay MM romantic comedies where every story blends laugh-out-loud chaos with soft, clean romance. These novellas highlight awkward starts, oddball friendships, and those tiny, surprising moments that turn a regular day into something more.

Each set of three brings new characters and fresh twists from mistaken identities across a crowded coffee shop to first dates that slide sideways in the best kind of way. Sometimes it’s a clumsy swipe on an app, sometimes it’s stumbling into the wrong conversation at exactly the right time.

Lighthearted and warm, these stories remind us that love doesn’t need perfect timing it just needs to show up.

Will you trip into it too?
