Recs if you like In the Court of the Nameless Queen...

Happy Valentine's Day! Have a huge pile of romantic queer novels. (Note that some of these are more "queer books that include a romance" and others are definitely more "this is a romance novel.") (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators!)

A lot of sex scenes with transgender characters can feel uncomfortable to read, especially if it's leaning into fetishizing. These ones navigate it well, have a cute romance to go with, and feel realistic or are written well.

I cannot guarantee all of these will be comfortable for everyone, but I'll be adding ones me and/ or my partner liked and felt comfortable with (or at least they could capture the discomfort associated with the act)

Will add to with time

October is a time for spook, but it's also a time for the long tradition of Kinktober - prompt events focused on making kinky fan and original creations! I run Kinks-Your-Tober, a prompt-a-day event, on various platforms, and I'm also a kink writer, so I proposed that Duck Prints Press's group of recommendation-makers put together a list of our favorite queer reads with explicit content, and here we are!
