Queer Historical Romance Reading List
I'm a sucker for a nice Regency romance book, especially gay ones. So I've put together a reading list of LGBTQ+ historical romances! These are ones I've personally read and can recommend.
If you know of any others that I should add, please contact me. I desperately need new books to read!
These are grouped roughly by time period. Historical fantasy/scifi crossover genre books will be on the soon-to-be-made LGBTQ SFF romance page.
