The Rainbow Snippets group on Facebook asks its members to share six sentence snippets from their work each weekend (I'll beg forgiveness in advance for sometimes going over the sentence limit!). 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.
To Know a Dragon Spy is out in the world now! Yay! This second book in the Dragons of Ivria series is a slow burn, enemies-to-lovers-ish romance that ties up some loose ends from the first books (and creates a couple more for book 3...). I've been sharing some snippets from Dragon Spy, and this one picks up right after the last one.
Felix agreed with Lysander that the festivities were necessary despite the risk, as did Thalia, who was currently beside Felix, but Alan was more concerned about Felix. He looked, as always, exquisite—luminous pale skin, dark hair waving over his forehead and around his ears, bright silvery eyes, and finely wrought features. His slender, long-limbed body was perfectly attired in green silk, and though he didn’t wear nearly as much jewelry as most at court—today, earrings glittering like starbursts, a diamond brooch his throat, and his usual delicate rings—he always seemed to stand out. He was widely held to be one of the most beautiful people among the court and in its royal family.
Alan could admit to himself that he’d noticed Felix’s beauty. Felix was several years younger than Alan, and though he’d spent some time at Wyndward as a boy, Alan only vaguely remembered Felix as a quiet, watchful child. When Felix had grown up and returned from school, years after the last time Alan had seen him...that was when he had noticed Felix. Like falling from a horse and getting the wind knocked from him, that was how the !rst sight of Felix—an elegant, beautiful, adult Felix—had been. But Alan was already committed to his path and had no intention of forming a romantic liaison that would distract from it. Nor would he dally with the nephew of King Dimitris.
