#WhatchaReading ? I just finished The Oak and the Ash by Annick Trent. I thought the first in the series was good but had plotting issues; no complaints about this one! Realistic portrayal of the lives of 1800s queer working people, with a sweet, slow burn romance. (Hard to have anything else for them!) For a comp I'd give Erin Satie, because of the focus on period technologies and intellectual interests.

@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks ooh, I just finished Hunt on Dark Waters by Katee Robert, I adored it. The sassy thief and the serious ship captain trope is just my speed. There was some casual enby representation and actual character growth, but really the kicker was that the steamy scenes were steamy and the love was loving. Quality consent, natch.
