A review by simonlorden
The Doctor's Discretion by E.E. Ottoman
4.0
Look, I liked this story, the characters were great, and I love historical trans men. You meet a guy, hook up once, and then immediately conspire to do a kidnapping/rescue the next day? Chef's kiss, no notes.
But the whole second part of the book felt like it was setting up a sequel with Moss or even Lake that apparently never came since 2018. The stakes were a bit too big for a 150-page story, and I felt like it was taking focus away from the actual main relationship, as much as I did like Moss. So it just left me with a weird feeling.
Warnings for period-typical racism, homophobia and transphobia. I would say there aren't any explicit violent scenes, but there is the constant threat and possibility of violence.
