Lesbian romance reviews.
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
Political investigator (Woman A) is hired to check out a squeaky clean senator - is he actually a murderer with dastardly political ambition? Falling for the senator's estranged wife is naturally going to cause upset, rage, attempted murder, etc but who can stop the dumb ol' path of true love with such pesky minor concerns … Continue reading Dust by Ann McMan
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
7 women spend a week in a cabin in the snowy woods between Christmas and New Year. How many couples is that? Well, that's the root of the problem. Cracking writing by Georgia Beers, this one will stay with you long after you've read it, and bears up to a second reading, which I don't … Continue reading Fresh Tracks by Georgia Beers
Sleep-deprived, highly caffeinated, wildly good-at-their-jobs surgeons find an attraction. It could only be classic Radclyffe! Woman A is a surgeon who has a leather jacket and tinkers with classic cars. Woman B is a surgeon who has an no-good cheatin' ex-husband and a child. Woman A is quite a player. Woman B takes one look … Continue reading Turn Back Time by Radclyffe
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
This is Cari Hunter's first book, and it somewhat shows. She can write, and it's gripping, but it's just not as strong as the Dark Peaks series. It's also very obviously a warm up for that series, with very similar characters kicking around. It's also a slightly odd mix of genres, combining thriller with lesbian … Continue reading Snowbound by Cari Hunter
Blissful page-turner of an adventure romance set at the Vancouver 2010 women's ice hockey, which culminates in the gold medal match between USA and Canada. All the scores are real, so we know Canada is going to win and the USA is going to lose. There's more intrigue and mystery thrown in to keep us on our toes! Woman … Continue reading Delay of Game by Tracey Richardson
Published in 2004, this is the first in a looooong series about an implausible sheriff. Our very own Long Tall Sheriff read this, and then selected other books in the series a while ago, but I've only just got round to them. (And I think we can see where our very own Sheriff got her … Continue reading Safe Harbor by Radclyffe
Every time a new Radclyffe book comes out I giggle at the title. Secret Hearts. Amazing. I think she writes the title, then has a little go at some random plot and then shoves in some stuff to make the title make any sort of sense. This is totally readable, totally predictable Radclyffe. If you've … Continue reading Secret Hearts by Radclyffe
One of those books you'll be asked about a month later and totally forgot you read. What book about a lesbian geologist / miner going undercover in homophobic Kentucky? She had a thing with woman with a kid? And made molasses. The one where she gets shot at, gets into loads of bar fights, and … Continue reading The Heart of the Mountain by Brenda Adcock
