It's weekend, and time for more Rainbow Snippets. The Rainbow Snippets group on Facebook asks its members to share six sentence snippets from their work each weekend. Check out the group's Facebook page to read all the snippets and add lots of great books to your tbr. You'll find all sorts of books with the common thread that the main character identifies as LGBTQ+.
This week was pretty busy again so I'm giving you a random snippet again. This one is from The Prince's Consort. Philip has asked Amory to marry him, but Amory is worried that marrying him isn't best for Philip as prince. (It's a little long this weekend. Sorry!)

“Amory.” Philip took his hands and squeezed them. “Please don’t let other people ruin this. Yes, there will be people who will be upset, but they will get over it. I will continue to rule this country the best way I know how, the way my father raised me to. And better, because you and I will be together, and having you with me makes me better.”
“Being with you makes me better too. Stronger.” He spoke quietly, but he knew Philip heard him because Philip’s eyes shone at his words. “I do love you. Which is why I worry marrying me will hurt you too much. I don’t want to be the cause of trouble for you.”
“If there’s trouble, we’ll weather it together.” Philip drew him closer and began feathering little kisses along his neck. “Marry me, Amory.”
He shivered at the feel of the words breathed against his neck. “Not fair. I can’t think when you do that.”
“Good. I don’t want you to think.”
