The Doctor's Discretion

I love historical queer romance, and there are not enough dependable authors in the genre IMO. So I really wanted to like this book, but it just felt flat to me. The plot sounded intriguing and there was a lot of admirable queer representation, but everything unfolded in an unsurprising, muted sort of way. Ottoman doesn't seem to get inside the core of her characters, so I never felt the terror that Moss must have been experiencing, or the growing affection between Augustus and William. After reading the first two books by this author, I have to conclude that they are just not my cup of tea.
