Lesbian romance reviews.
Uptight Olympic skier recovering from career-threatening injury meets ageing (30!), party-loving Olympic snowboarder. Skier has amazing eyes and nice strong legs. Snowboarder has amazing abs. Snowboarder has matured into a responsible adult, if only the socially inept skier would realise it. Skier has minimal personality, but the snowboarder doesn't ever seem to realise that (she … Continue reading Edge of Glory by Rachel Spangler
I was SO looking forward to this book. Not only is it by the author of the excellent 'Ask, Tell', but the premise is also fantastically bonkers, and the Sheriff loves the cover art. Hotshot stockbroker has wild sex with the hotshot pilot of her private jet and then it turns to something more. Bring. … Continue reading Turbulence by E. J. Noyes
With the exception of her titles, this author sure can write! A totally flakey premise, lightly riddled with passages of time that seem slightly impossible, delivered with style and depth and utterly compelling writing. Our heroine is a nurse with money troubles who agrees to marry, for a year, to get her out of financial … Continue reading Who’d Have Thought by G. Benson
Surf, good coffee, Californian sun, cute pets, and a touch of Hollywood glamour. What's not to like on a cold November's evening? Woman A is an aspiring screen writer with anxiety issues and woman B is a successful hotshot screen writer with working too hard issues. Woman A works for Woman B. Woman B's ex … Continue reading Eyes Like Those by Melissa Brayden
In which two women meet after 17 years and attempt to relive the passion of their shared first love. The sex is mediocre and they're both embittered and set in their ways after 15 years of loneliness, but persevere with couples counselling before eventually realising they've grown apart and calling it a day. KIDDING!! Two … Continue reading Twice in a Lifetime by Clare Lydon
There appears to be a genre best described as "Australian heroine's sister dies, leaving behind a young child, forcing our heroine to rethink her life’s purpose and find love". This book falls nicely in this genre, joining another good book (thankfully by a different author), All the Little Moments by G Benson, which I was … Continue reading Echo Point by Virginia Hale
Assistant Chief Medical Examiner meets Injured Ex-surgeon looking to put her life back together. Assistant Chief ME has heartbreak in her past and has vowed not to love again. Ex-surgeon isn't looking to settle down. Icy heart melts, while uncommitted heart commits. Readable nonsense. It's in Radlyffe's First Responders series, and the first of them … Continue reading Heart Stop by Radclyffe
If you like your romances light and fluffy without a hint of angst, avoid at all costs. If, however, you like some meaty bits of character development, some sense that the women's sex lives are related to their emotional lives, and a loooong love story, this is for you! Kris and Sam are both serving … Continue reading The Long Way Home by Roslyn Bane
In which a hotshot homicide detective and a hotshot FBI agent both turn their backs on their previous hotshot existences to go back to small town life, just in time for a series of murders to break out. I spent some of the book wondering if the murders were a result of them coming to … Continue reading Sawmill Springs by Geri Hill
Almost impenetrably written, it's hard for me to know what this book is about. In essence, hotshot mountain biker is wild, free and lives on the edge. Hotshot chiropractor is uptight and hides in her work. Mountain biker could benefit from a bit more structure, chiropractor could benefit from a bit more down time. Their … Continue reading Switchback by S.W. Andersen
A very interesting concept, let down by the quality of the writing. We have an ER doctor who meets a wheelchair-bound woman who works in a bookshop. Their initial encounter does not go well, but then they get to know each other and lurve flourishes. In the mix, our doctor has attachment issues, and our … Continue reading At All Costs by Micheala Lynn
I really like this book, and it just squeaks into the 'recommended' rating. Set in Provincetown, Woman A comes to town in the off season to get away from her no good cheatin' ex. Woman B is the sexy baker who plays the field and isn't looking to settle down. Woman A works from Woman … Continue reading Winter’s Harbor by Aurora Rey
