Lesbian romance reviews.
Very odd book. This is essentially a short story with some fairly graphic sex, some conversation between our heroine and her friend, and virtually nothing in the way of chemistry between our lead character and her love interest. Our heroine has MS, which means she uses a wheelchair for her 'running' but is otherwise mobile … Continue reading Roll with Me by Elizabeth Andre
A 'novella' about an established couple rekindling their sex life over Christmas. That concept, combined with the nonsensical title, didn't bode well, but actually it's totally fun and readable. The couple have a competition to see who can make the other one come the most over the 12 days of Christmas, with some convoluted extra … Continue reading Mistletoe Mishap by Siri Caldwell
In which our main character is self obsessed and relatively unlikable, but seems to be lovable none-the-less. I had thought she would go on a journey of self discovery and redemption, and was quite intrigued at the bravery of it, but no, that is all left to the future. Another American book in which a … Continue reading Visiting Hours by Tagan Shepard
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

Ditches over-sexualised pop star career (well, she is over 30) and becomes authentic independent … Continue reading Perfect Rhythm by Jae
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
