*We do recommend ordering these books from your local indie or from the author directly where possible

**Please note that Franklin Veaux has abuse allegations against him, including by his co-author. The book and the website was a good resource for me but he is not a safe human and so we try not to platform him or his work.

***Yes this list is mostly romance novels organised by the author. Some books will have problematic elements in it but of course will cover non-monogamy and polyamory in ways that are mostly if not all positive. There are still a lot of issues to unpack in representation in novels
