Lesbian romance reviews.
Totally readable, slightly fraught romance. Woman A is a hotshot American author, recently humiliated by a very public divorce from a no-good-cheatin'-wife. In her grief-ridden state, she runs away from it all to a house she buys, sight-unseen, in small town, UK. Her grandmother spent her childhood in small town, UK and our hotshot author … Continue reading Full English by Rachel Spangler
I'm a bit of a tennis fan, so when this popped up on my Kindle recommendations just a day or two after Andy Murray announced his imminent retirement, and I was lying in bed with a cold in need of some comforting fluff, I didn't need to think twice. Tennis Mom is a powerful, black … Continue reading Love all by Rachel Spangler
This much-anticipated sequel to the brilliant Ask, Tell, picks up shortly after the first book finished. The Major surgeon Bec and the Captain surgeon Sabine have got together despite the outrageous difficulties of the US Army's 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy. Bec has left the army to become a civilian surgeon. Sabine has had to … Continue reading Ask Me Again by E J Noyes
I hesitated to write this review because I am the first to admit this is not a genre I'm familiar with. I'm not even completely sure what this genre is correctly called. It's lesbian romance, but there is dominance and submission and handcuffs and whips. Is this S&M? Is this bondage? Are those the same … Continue reading Being Hers by Anna Stone
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
Radclyffe is back on the horse! After the "Don't Bother" that was Love After Hours we now have a gem of a surgeons-go-at-it-like-surgeons book. Raaaah! Radclyffe makes these two surgeons genuinely interesting and intriguing women, thrown deep in really tricky situations in their professional as well as in their personal lives. This is primarily an excellent … Continue reading Passionate Rivals by Radclyffe
Set in Jae's own Germany, the location is probably the most interesting thing about this book. Uh oh! Woman A is a hotshot business consultant who quits her job after being passed over for all the cool projects by her sexist workplace. Woman B is the assistant of Woman A's uncle, helping to run his … Continue reading Paper Love by Jae
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
Swooooon. I admit, I totally fell for this book, which leaves me with the realisation I might be really into older, powerful women fantasies. In fact, I got so much into this, I can even tell you the characters names! Maddie is a 30ish Australian trying to make her way in New York's media industry. … Continue reading The Brutal Truth by Lee Winter
Andrea Bramhall is the Alistair Maclean of lesbian romance. This trilogy (with more to come, I'm sure - no pun intended) needs readers with a hard stomach and a hard head. Ostensibly a series of detective adventures, with the trauma piled on thicker and faster at every turn, its also a romance story at heart. … Continue reading Norfolk Coast Investigation books by Andrea Bramhall
Woman A manages a posh wine bar for Woman B's mother. She gets on well with her customers and staff, is easy-going, low maintenance and happy. Woman B, a hard-nosed, corporate hot shot still grieving for her not-that-recently deceased father, is not very happy, not moving on, not in a relationship and not at all … Continue reading Blend by Georgia Beers
It's an unusual day indeed when I can't quite decide what I think of a book, but we're in the middle of a heatwave in London so it's an unusual day anyway. The problem is partly the theme, which centres around labour relations in Indiana. As a Brit, I spent the first part of the … Continue reading Hoosier Daddy by Ann McMan and Salem West
