Lesbian romance reviews.
In my distressingly distant youth, before I had the pleasure of meeting the Long Tall Sheriff, I was in love with a closeted woman. Reading this book by Jae brought back some of the unhappiness and trauma of that period, and I would Not Recommend this for anyone who has had similar experiences. What occurs? … Continue reading Not the Marrying Kind by Jae
55-year-old divorcee Senator with three kids and a no-good-cheatin' ex meets 35-year-old architect who's never known love. You now have all the information you will ever get about the personalities and characters of these women. Oh, except they like Chinese food and one of them used to have a cat. It's rare to find a … Continue reading By Design by J.A. Armstrong
After my wild enthusiasm for Lee Winter's The Brutal Truth, I decided to give another of her books a go. Big mistake! Or rather, big insight into how many attempts at the same plot and characters it takes before you hit the version that works. The similarities between The Red Files and the Brutal Truth … Continue reading The Red Files by Lee Winter
What has happened to Gerri Hill? Once a favourite author of mine, this is one of the rare books to make it onto our "don't bother" list. Woman A is a reluctant celebrity actress, closeted and friendless, and mysteriously successful in her movies. Her next, and final role before her planned retirement from acting, is … Continue reading The Locket by Gerri Hill
Lauren is a hot successful actress, who comes to Smalltownsville to work on a film. Being the down-to-earth, largely untouched-by-the-trappings-of-success genuine woman she is (her personal assistant remains in New York), she rents a cottage so she and her cute dog can chill out and recover from the excitement of their NYC lives. In no … Continue reading No More Pretending by Bette Hawkins
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
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
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
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
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
Oh. My. God. This is the most over the top, and loooooooong saga of a book and not worth your time. So many absurd twists and turns, it's obviously meant to be an epic saga, but why? Totally nonsensical. Rich heiress is a total bitch, she marries sweet young thing for some absurd legal reason, … Continue reading Born Out of Wedlock by Lyn Gardner
