Wow, Radclyffe just phoned this one in. The once mighty "Love Doctors" books have descended into... oh, who cares. In my mind, this series is totally named the "Love Doctors", not the rather dull "Rivers Community Romances". I enjoyed the first one so much I read it twice. The second one was good. The third … Continue reading Love After Hours by Radclyffe
Pride and Prejudice modern lesbian self-published rewrite. Romance of the they-hate-each-other-so-much-at-the-beginning-they-must-end-up-together-at-the-end variety. Writing of the surely-if-i-copy-someone-elses-tried-and-tested-formula-i-cant-lose variety. Well... we've all seen enough amateur Shakespeare plays to know that isn't necessarily true. That said, if you loved the original, you will get something out of this adaptation. Begins badly, and by 'begins' I mean I dragged … Continue reading The Story of Lizzie and Darcy by Grace Watson

Slightly OTT old-fashioned mystery books with gay characters dotted throughout. A larger than life attention-seeking theatre director and a born-to-sleuth restaurant owner (buddies, not a couple) go solving crime in swanky and artistic places in the Twin Cities and sometimes pop out to the summer house by the lake. These books belong to an older generation, … Continue reading Jane Lawless Mysteries by Ellen Hart
