books like lord john and the brotherhood of the blade by diana gabaldoni

has anyone here read the lord john grey books from the outlander series? i'd love recommendations similar to them. they aren't heartbreaking like many historical queer romances, lord john actually embraces his sexuality and develops relationships with men, falls in love with them, and genuinely cares for them. i like how his relationships are just woven into the overall storyline, if you know what i mean. he's cautious with his carnal activities yes, and he's smart, adventurous, and likes to investigate mysteries lol

will lord john grey ever find happiness in a romantic sense?

i was wondering if LJG will ever have a romantic relationship where he can genuinely be himself, love someone, and feel equally loved in return. like, will he ever get to experience that kind of love? i'm currently binge-reading his books and currently watching s8.

i love love david berry! he's such a great actor! also i love LJG's relationship with tom in the books 🥹
