Abstract The article proposes an analysis of homoerotic sentimental novels, investigating them as devices for the elaboration of normative models of sexual and affective relationships played by male homosexual characters. From the critical reading of three novels representative of this fictional genre, the existence of distinctive marks in such "love romances" is questioned, the specifics in their plots and to what extent they fit or reinforce the grammars that govern this literary production of popular stamp. Thus, the aim is to understand the different discursive configurations on which the meanings of male homoeroticism are thought and problematized in this fictional space, a segment little explored both in literary studies and in the field of investigations in gender and sexuality.
