Kinship and Kindness by Kara Jorgensen

Bennett Reynard needs one thing: to speak to the Rougarou about starting a union for shifters in New York City before the delegation arrives. When his dirigible finally lands in Louisiana, he finds the Rougarou is gone and in his stead is his handsome son, Theo, who seems to care for everyone but himself. Hoping he can still petition the Rougarou, Bennett stays only to find he is growing dangerously close to Theo Bisclavret. Theo Bisclavret thought he had finally come to terms with never being able to take his father’s place as the Rougarou, but with his father stuck in England and a delegation of werewolves arriving in town, Theo’s quiet life is thrown into chaos as he and his sister take over his duties.

The Companion by E.E. Ottoman

New York, 1948

After years of trying to break into New York City’s literary scene, Madeline Slaughter is emotionally and physically exhausted. When a friend offers her a safe haven as the live-in companion to reclusive, bestselling novelist Victor Hallowell she jumps at the chance to escape the city.

Madeline expects to find rest and quiet in the forests of Upstate New York. Instead, she finds Victor, handsome and intensely passionate, and Audrey Coffin, Victor’s mysterious and beautiful neighbor.

When Victor offers her a kiss and the promise of more Madeline allows herself to become entangled even as Audrey is also claiming her heart. The only problem is that Audrey and Victor are ex-lovers with plenty of baggage between them. As Madeline finds herself opening up and falling in love with both she starts to wonder, can there be a future for all three? 

PUBLISHER: Independently Published
YEAR: 2021
LENGTH: 172 pages
AGE: Adult
GENRE: Historical, Romance
RECOMMENDED: Highly

Queer Rep Summary: Lesbian/Sapphic Main Character(s), Bi/Pan Main Character(s), Trans Main Character(s).

THE COMPANION is a cozy historical MFF story where everyone is trans. It's intimate, which slowly turns into something erotic and sensual, but first and foremost Madeline feels safe, able to explore her companions and their desires along with the woods and fields. 

I love this, it's so nice to read something where no one has to explain what being trans means to each other, because, even though the historical setting means they don't use the terms I would use, they have this part of their identity in common. Victor and Audrey offer Madeline two kinds of support, and are open to building something together once she's ready to say that she wants something specific.
