APRIL selection for the Queer* Romance Club — Ocean’s Echo by Everina Maxwell

As is fairly standard for QRC, the voting ended in a tie, so I’ve deployed my coordinator tie-breaker to go for Ocean’s Echo (the one I would have voted for, if I took part in the poll).

This should be widely available at libraries. Though it’s in the same world as Maxwell’s first book, Winter’s Orbit, it is a stand-alone. I’m looking forward to this one :)

***
Blurb:

“Change begins with the meeting of the minds”

When Tennal - a rich socialite, inveterate flirt, and walking disaster - is caught using his telepathic powers for illegal activities, the military decides to bind his mind to someone whose coercive powers are strong enough to control him.

Enter Lieutenant Surit, the child of a disgraced general. Out of a desperate need to restore a pension to his other parent, Lieutenant Surit agrees to be bound to Tennal and keep him conscripted in the army, a task that seems impossible even for someone with Surit's ability to control minds.

Tennal just wants to escape, but Surit isn't all that he seems. And their bond may just be the key to their freedom.

***

QRC is open to all, read at your own pace over the month and post about it under the #QueerRomanceClub and @queerromanceclub tags.

No rules: let’s hear reactions, theories, reviews, favourite quotes etc, any time throughout the month or indeed whenever you happen to read it. CW for spoilers if going into details but general observations can be open.

Or let us know what else you’re reading in the #queerRomance genre. One of the other titles on the voting list? An undiscovered gem? An old favourite?

*I realised I typoed in the voting to Queen Romance Club. Which would have had quite different selections ;)

Two male silhouettes, heads and upper bodies only, taking up half the page each, filled with starscapes anbove evocative “alien planet’ landscapes. The two silhouettes face each other over the large blueish title.

#QueerRomanceClub @queerromanceclub

I’m looking for suggestions for the March vote of the QRC. The theme is historicals. I have a few on my list, but some are probably more historical than, ah, romantical 😊 and obviously a central queer (in any shape or form) relationship is required.

Indies/lesser known authors encouraged but the books need to be widely available (no Amazon-only books, library accessible).
