13 Queer Regency Romances, Because History Wasn't Hetero
If ever there were an writer whose appearance twice on such a list would be utterly unsurprising, it’s Sebastian, who does something particularly notable for homosexual Regency romance here with a male/nonbinary pairing.
The dude in question is Alistair, Marquess of Pembroke, who finds himself wholly attracted to the man who shows up at his door looking for a favor, only to acquire they aren't a male after all, but someone masquerading as an ancient friend in order to help get said friend’s sister married off.
It’s all a little complicated, especially since, even as a woman, the person formerly pretending to be Robert Selby wouldn’t exactly be the marrying kind for a marquess.
But when neither one of them can resist the attraction, it’s up to true affectionate to prevail. (And if you’re wondering if Sebastian’s done f/f Regency too, the answer is yes! Check out A Petite Light Mischief, a pleasant novella in the Turner Series.)

Of course, the evil gentleman deserved what was coming to him, but now she must flee to the countryside. Unfortunately, the only person she can inquire for help is Rob, the charismatic criminal who’s blackmailing her. As they flee across the country—stopping to select pockets, drink to excess, and rescue injured cats—they detect more true bliss than either has felt in ages. But when the truth of Rob’s past catches up to him, they must decide if they’re willing to reshape their lives to forge a future together.
There’s been a boom of LGBTQ romance in recent years, as well there should be, and lgbtq+ historical romance is no exception. Jane Austen was among my first favorite authors, so you know I delight in a good period romance, and it’s incredible to observe the growing diversity in the historical romance genre. Though, as well all know, that could always use some more work. (Insert most recent migraine-inducing romance book industry drama here.) But these books are the perfect abscond from all that, full of diverse characters and all the representation you so crave. These stories feature sapphic love stories, poly
