Lesbian romance reviews.
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
Oh, the writing is good! Not just 'ok', but actually enjoyable to read, witty, and well paced. The plot, however... Kade is super-successful, super-rich, super-clever, super-nice, super-single and super-super-screwed up. Jen is super-nice and super-understanding. Both are, of course, super-sexy. We open with super-rich Kade flying into a conference in Maui ("It had been a … Continue reading It’s not a date by Heather Blackmore
Struggling actress working in a family-run coffee shop, occasionally takes time off for auditions. She's overweight, so she hardly ever gets acting work. She has a heart of gold though. One day, she goes to yet another crappy audition, only it turns out this is a pretty unusual gig - in real life, this fabulously … Continue reading Just for Show by Jae
Not one of Georgia Beers' finest, but readable. In which a slightly up-tight accountant falls for a live-in-the-moment marketing whizz who brings a whole load of colour into her boring, predictable work life. After a slow start to the relationship, all seems amazing until suddenly it isn't. We see it all through the eyes of … Continue reading Right Here, Right Now, by Georgia Beers
In which an eclectic range of privileged women descend on a snowed-in house in the middle of Vermont and spend many weeks together in Lesbian Rehab. Hilarious, brilliant and actually quite clever. One by one, the extraordinary characters arrive - some willingly. All need to make it to the end of rehab or face prison, … Continue reading The Big Sugarbush by Ana B. Good
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
This starts so well. Our lead woman works in HR for a ski resort and is universally lovely and kind. So much so, nobody suspects she fancies the pants off the hard hitting new Finance Director with the unpronounceable name. And she seems to be the only person, apart from the sexy FD, who thinks … Continue reading Winter Calling by Lynn Galli
Take Me There. And There! And There Again! Take Me! A book with an unusually large number of sex scenes achieved by the cunning ploy of including the (sex) lives of a well established couple (who feature in other books, too) alongside the lives of the couple-to-be. Add to the mix that couple-to-be used to … Continue reading Take Me There by Julie Cannon
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
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
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
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
She Sighed!
