Kyle Adams started out dabbling with writing gay romance stories for fun. He writes what makes him laugh and hopes anyone who reads his work laughs with him. Kyle had three books nominated in the 2013 Goodreads.com M/M Romance Group readers choice awards and two books nominated in 2012 for the same event. His free story, Dirty Cop won Best Short Story in 2013.

Kyle has a hard time picking a favorite anything (color, book, music, quote, etc.), so trying to write a decent bio was quite the challenge. He is a very quiet person and is used to keeping things to himself. If there is anything you want to know, just ask.

I have read all of Kyle Adams books and have enjoyed every one of them.
They are original, funny, quirky and sweet, not to mention lots of sexiness and free .
I can recommend them all whole heartedly so what are you waiting for?


Dirty Boys
My first LHNB story and it's Kyle's, color me happy. :)

Devon, dirty, trashy Devon, lusting after Connor, who seems to enjoy lawn work, which is good, since Devon enjoys watching him do it.
For almost a year now, every Saturday, while doing his trash pick-up, Devon has been looking and drooling over the really sexy Connor. Mark, Devon's colleague and best friend has finally decided to help him along and get the two at least talking to each other, but you know they are going to do more than talk, right?
Cute, sexy, free and a dump joke, what more can you ask for?
But alas, I wouldn't be me, if I didn't wanted more..really I do.
Plus it's a nice cover, even if I wish the hedges hadn't been placed so strategically. ;)

Dirty Cop

I have to say I'm disappointed. Leia really should have been more helpful and cooperative.
I mean Conrad didn't ask for much, just a little support, I mean, yes, driving off when a cop stops you wasn't the best decision he could have made.
But he did win the game, scissors does beat paper, too bad Brayden doesn't quite see it that way. Leia obviously had a different take on all of it.
Another quick, hot short from Kyle.



Dirty Fighters
Hot sexy short! Yum!
Recommended.


Dirty Zero
Cute,clever and totally hot free read!

Dirty Hero

I liked the first one a lot, but it was sort of open at the end, so I was excited to get to read how their story continues!
It's so sweet and sexy and cute! And free! Go read these two stories!

Dirty Play

This is the fourth story I have read by Kyle Adams and I've liked them all!
Whit is so funny and neurotic and Zach, who couldn't fall for a guy that custom orders THAT for you! LOL

A Dirty Drag Collection

This is a great free series, all three books Dirty Drag and Dirty Drag 2: The Night Drags On and Dirty Drag 3: Beyond The Drag in one bundle.
Ashley is a sexy, trash talking, high heel and short skirt wearing and totally irreverent and unrepentant guy. One night at a bar he meets Rick, the quick bathroom hook-up turns into a boob napping start of a relationship with a very satisfying conclusion.
I laughed and smiled the whole time reading these, the one liners and banter between these guys is great, it has a touch of sensitive Ashley and romantic Rick thrown in for good measure . It's a sexy easy fun pick-me-up read and I recommend it to everyone looking for a little happy.
ETA: love the combo of all three covers on this one, each cover on its own is great, but all of these layered on this one is a real eye catcher.

I adore every Kyle Adams 'Dirty ' story written. I've read them all seperately so to get them all condensed together in one volume is just awesome. And to still be able to get all nine fabulous shorts for free is unbelievable. I would truly put my hand in my pocket and gladly pay for these little sexy gems! Just do yourselves a big favour and get these whilst you can.. A rare treat ! Thanks Kyle, please keep these Dirty little masterpieces coming. Love them to bits.

This book consist of multiple short erotic stories, that I very much enjoyed. The characters from the stories are funny, sexy and sweet. I especially enjoyed the stories with "role-playing" they were very hot! The best part of all this, you can get them individually or this volume and is free. The only down side is, some of the books I laughed so loud that I wanted the story to be longer, but anyways Kyle Adams you have made a fan.

4.5/5.0

This is a great collection of Kyle Adams stories. Sexy, fun,sometimes silly and over the top quirky characters and definitely humorous, perfect for a feel good read. I enjoyed them all but I think the super hero ones are my favorites.

Just because I loved it so much : Another of my favorite Kyle Adam stories is Dirty Pirate (not in this collection) Also super fun.

4.5 stars Dirty and charming short stories that were fluffy, funny fun! The length of the stories didn't take away from character development, though each were small snippets of the overall relationships. They all left me feeling satisfied at the end!

Dirty Boys - 3.5 stars Kyle's stuff always has a light and fun feel to it, although this isn't as laugh-out-loud funny as some of his other stuff (and isn't meant to be). A really cute story of two guys that check each other out for a year before finally having the courage to talk (and of course, subsequently, get it on!) This could certainly have been longer and more fully developed, but Love Has No Boundaries is about short and sweet stories, and that's exactly what this is. I'd LOVE a follow-up on these guys!

Dirty Cop - 3 stars I love me some Kyle Adams, and this is his usual fun, silly, and sexy short. Now for a little constructive criticism... I think it would have been better served without the beginning part with Leia . I get that that was where a lot of the humor came in, but it gave a spoiler because it meant our MC was either or much more likely and that took away a lot of the fun surprise that could have happened at the end.

"When the officer approached the window, he said ‘Papers’ and before he could finish, I shouted, ‘Scissors! I win,’ and drove off.”

Dirty Fighters - 4 stars This was a fun and dirty little short. You should def also check out Dirty Zero by this author!

Dirty Zero - 5 stars!!! Holy shit this was so freakin' adorable and hilarious and actually pretty sexy. I didn't read the whole description so I was pleasantly surprised to see where it was going and absolutely loved the ride.

Dirty Hero - 4 stars Freakin' sweet and adorable and funny as usual. Can't wait for more shorts about Brian and Wyatt, maybe one of Brian's fantasies this time?!

Dirty Play - 5 stars!!! I freakin' LOVE Kyle Adams's dweeb erotica! Whit was adorable and funny and perfect, and the sweet surprises we learned about Zack at the end were great. More please!

Dirty Drag - 4 stars I just LOVE Kyle's shorts. Dirty Play is still my favorite because it's a little longer and we get to know those guys better. But as always this was super cute and super sexy and super funny, I would LOVE to see more shorts with these two guys!

OH, and the cover is AMAZING.

Dirty Drag 2: The Night Drags On - 2.5 stars. I'm glad we got to see more from these guys, although I definitely liked the first one better. You absolutely have to read Dirty Drag 1 first. The last chapter was my favorite part and brought out the usual humor in these shorts (especially since my husband has said Darth Vader cookie jar).

LOTS AN LOTS AN LOTS OF SEXY MEN GETTING IT ON!!!!

I have read a few Kyle Adams books and really enjoyed them but then I come across this boxset and freaking love it!!!
It saved a lot of time going from one book to another so this volume was perfect, nothing but sitting back and just turning page after sexy page of lovely romantic men finding love of just sex but it was just....ahh bliss but that's if your into gay men having hot blazing erotic rough sex..
This is perfect for anyone who's into the m/m theme...

Cute bunch of free stories. I liked some better than others but that is bound to happen. I just recently discovered the M/M Romance Group and they have a ton of stories available written by members and Goodreads authors. This grouping of stories was originally posted there and the author grouped his stories together in one Volume that I got free on Amazon. It was a very enjoyable bunch of shorties.

I can't believe all these shorts are free. Almost every one of them rates five out of five stars for me. They're always interesting, clever, funny and hot. There's a reason Kyle is one of my favorite authors.

A collection of nine gay short stories and novellas. Heavy on themes of outsiders connecting with popular guys.

Dirty Boys

Devon (trash man) and Connor (affluent…something).

Mutual pining and help from a friend pushes these two crushing men together. Good variety. A little hot, a lot cute, and fairly sweet. Perfect mix.

Dirty Cop

Conrad and Brayden.

Good humor. Hot, with a fun reveal at the end. 🥰

Dirty Fighters

Cross and Striker.

Two underground fighters who have lusted after one another for a while now. But when the “loser” of their match has to bottom…everyone is a winner.

A good one, except for unnecessary condom usage. ⬇️

Dirty Zero

Wyatt and Brian.

Costumed superhero fun.

Steamy with a solid HFN. As becomes a pattern, unnecessary condom usage detracts.

Dirty Hero

Back with Wyatt and Brian.

Their role play and cosplay is fun and funny. Strong relationship development; sweet ending.

Dirty Play

Whit and Zack.

Zack is the gorgeous newcomer to Whit’s friends’ game nights.

Could the gorgeous man possibly be into the socially-awkward nerd?

Adorable story with good humor throughout.

Nice action, though, again with the very unnecessary condoms. An unfortunate occurrence with this author.

(Yeah, these books didn’t come out in 2025. But PrEP was around back then. So was STI testing. And artistic license is timeless.)

Dirty Drag

Ashley and Rick.

Ashley is trying to “pass” for a woman; Rick clocks him.

Not my jam.

Very dicey premise and execution throughout.

Free! collection of nice stories.

Dirty Boys: (3/5) trash-man and mower-man.

Dirty Cop: (4/5) role-playing between a cop and his lover. Established couple, with a dog.

Dirty Fighters: (3/5) two rivals in wrestling have a last battle to see who is the best. The winner gets to top. I don't think this was a romance... more like f**-buddies who like it rough.

Dirty Hero: (3/5) cute, role-playing and bdsm (tied to the bed, toys). I just didn't like how quickly Brian gets Wyatt to his bed, without even a question.

Dirty Zero: (4/5) cuter sequel of the above. Wyatt is funny and in the middle of a role-playing with this bf of 6-months Brian. Also, bareback outdoors, hero is "seduced" by the villain XD

Dirty Play: (3/5) fun and cute RPG although Whit was a bit too much. The condom-custom was sweet and funny XD

Dirty Drag: (3/5) the raunchiest in the pack... even more than the 2 sequels. Drag and manties (always a plus) and sex in the bathroom at the pub (almost always a minus). They took it later to Rick's house and from there, they start to be a couple.

Dirty shorts, indeed, and not the kind one wears...

This is a bunch of very short stories, usually with 2 - 3 on each "plotline" for lack of a better word, and I doubt that any of them took very long to write at all.
In addition, there is some very odd punctuation, which was rather distracting from the simple "plots." A statement or phrase was followed by a full stop, with the following," He said" (or similar) continuing with a capital letter.
It took the rather smutty, dirty tone even further away from genuine, sexy storytelling.
This is definitely not a writing voice for my tastes.

Definitely Dirty Shorts

While these are fun and sexy shorts, I just wanted more. I had previously read Dirty Cop as a solo story and really hoped there would be something more to that in here. The Dirty Drag trio of shorts at the end of this is available in their own collection and I, personally, find that more satisfying a read than this. Other than being dirty and short, there's little to connect these stories. The author has a fun style of writing that I'd like to read in longer form but all I see on their Goodreads list is shorts.

I got this for free on Stuff Your Kindle Day 2023.

There is this thing I do, while trying to maintain my Kindle reading streak, where I read random books before I need to read something I was sent for review; this was one of them.

What surprised me the most about this book was how well-written it is; this excludes the sex scenes because I mostly skip through them. Every story is well-paced and some of the characters are relatable.

Even though I didn't read every story (specifically the part twos and threes) I enjoyed reading this.

3.5 stars

Story collection

Nine stories including from the Goodreads M/M Romance Group project, most feature two males who eventually heat things up. Most characters are tropes, somewhat superficial, mainly twenty somethings. Scenarios are generic. But the stories are entertaining and inventive twists.

So so

It's a mixed bag. It ranges from fun to boring to "does this drag story have to drag on for 25% of the book". Mostly I didn't care for it but that's how it sometimes goes with anthologies.

This is the first time I have read any of Kyle Adams' stories. From gamers and superheroes, to roleplay and drag, Adams' stories hit the mark with the sex. The only thing is I wish some of these were a tad longer.

This mythology met the criteria for a challenge, it was mostly cute and filthy stories. They were all short and sweet and most of the characters were really great.

Looking for some low-effort, quick reads to unwind with before bed, Kyle Adams's collection caught my eye, and I'm glad it did because man, did I have fun with this one. The writing is solid, and most of the stories are engaging, though a couple of bits felt a little pointless and dragged on useless tangents and I did find myself skimming here and there. Let's be real, it's all about the sex, and the smut is pretty damn good. Skip the porn tonight and read these, or stick to the porn, whatever's your shtick. I'm torn about the rating because, while this isn't something to take too seriously, I genuinely had a good time, so I'm going with three stars.

Solid 3.5 stars
Step by step.. eh theme song from some movie/tv show... anyways, starting at the top:

Dirty Boys: Garbage Man vs. trash can
I don't have a problem with the profession.. its just.. I don't find the set up particularly sexy or romantic. It was ok

Dirty Cop: Cop vs. Speed
This one read first and got me into Kyle Adams research. I really liked it the first time and still like it a couple days later. I would have liked to see this one longer to see the interaction.

Dirty Fighters: Fighter vs knockout
This was...ok. Wasn't the worst one. Fighters knock heads. One dude wants a rematch. Rematch turns sexual. was ok

Dirty Zero/ Dirty Hero: Geek vs Villan
Ok yes, ROLE PLAY is the big thing here. But (compared to next mini review) this is more like real acting with the sarcasm remarks thrown in so wasn't that bad.

Dirty Play: Imaginary vs commanding
I HATED it. Ok so to clariy I HATED the lead up with the role play until getting to the real life hooking up part. Completely different view of role play vs the previous two characters that did not work for me. I almost skipped the whole story cus it was boring and stupid to me.

Dirty Drag 1-3: Wig vs Man
Ok so I'm not normally a big fan of drag. I've read one other story involving drag that I liked. NOW; I can add this to the list thou! I have a feeling that if it was left at 1, I would feel differently about it. But we got to explore these two characters, even without any true drag dress in 2 and 3.

So overall Dirty Play didn't hit the mark and Drag and Cop top of the list for me. Clearly I made up the VS parts of my comments and some who read this will wonder.. hey it just came off the top of my head. The first one sounded cute in my head
