Lesbian romance reviews.
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
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
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
The blurb for this book wasn't quite true to the content, but the book's worth a go. In current day USA, a long-established couple are packing up home in preparation for a move when one of them falls and is rushed to hospital. Her partner tell the story of their getting together to the young … Continue reading Don’t Forget by AJ Adaire
So, there's that super hot lesbian singer you're really into? Well, guess what? She's ready to grow up and stop sleeping with a different chick after every gig, and she wants to show you, yes you, her deep and sensitive side, while taking you on tour with her. Yes, really! Oh, let's go with it! … Continue reading Wishing on a Dream by Julie Cannon
Outdoors type's review: So, the thing with a few Melissa Brayden books (see also How Sweet It Is) is you think they're going to be nice and fluffy and a light read, but they have these horrible backgrounds of grief or loss. And unpleasant family circumstances or abandonment. In this one, our opening chapter lets … Continue reading Strawberry Summer by Melissa Brayden
Jae is generally a pretty safe bet and can reliably subvert or inspect some stereotypes. I like that in a book. Romance, and a teeny bit of something to think about. That said, Falling Hard is essentially romance through and through. Woman A (a surgeon!) likes women. A lot of women. Woman B is divorced from her cheatin' (surgeon!) … Continue reading Falling Hard by Jae
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
Ever wondered what happens in the long, cold off-season in Provincetown? Women anonymously phone in to the local radio station late at night, and talk to DJ 'Sable'. She sounds sexy. No one knows her name in real life. She is single and can flirt with all the women over the airwaves, because none of … Continue reading Night Voice by C F Frizzell
