#QueerRomanceClub June voting suggestions — Pride theme
We’re “read gay, do crime” all year round, but for the June pick, I need suggestions of LGBTQ books specifically by LGBTQ authors, specifically in the Romance genre (the relationship is central to the plot and there’s a Happy Ever After).
I have TJ Alexander and Alexis Hall on my radar but I confess I don’t usually pay attention to authors, just books, so more suggestions appreciated (especially in the L and B zone)
Indie authors welcome, but must be widely available (no Amazon-only books).

as we find a way to wipe your armpit
without lifting your arm up and away
you say, you’ve never seen me so (I forget
the word you use and replace it with close
as in, we’ve never been so close) and I say
I was thinking that…
