Lesbian romance reviews.
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
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
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
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
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
A 'novella' about an established couple rekindling their sex life over Christmas. That concept, combined with the nonsensical title, didn't bode well, but actually it's totally fun and readable. The couple have a competition to see who can make the other one come the most over the 12 days of Christmas, with some convoluted extra … Continue reading Mistletoe Mishap by Siri Caldwell
In which our main character is self obsessed and relatively unlikable, but seems to be lovable none-the-less. I had thought she would go on a journey of self discovery and redemption, and was quite intrigued at the bravery of it, but no, that is all left to the future. Another American book in which a … Continue reading Visiting Hours by Tagan Shepard
Uptight Olympic skier recovering from career-threatening injury meets ageing (30!), party-loving Olympic snowboarder. Skier has amazing eyes and nice strong legs. Snowboarder has amazing abs. Snowboarder has matured into a responsible adult, if only the socially inept skier would realise it. Skier has minimal personality, but the snowboarder doesn't ever seem to realise that (she … Continue reading Edge of Glory by Rachel Spangler
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
With the exception of her titles, this author sure can write! A totally flakey premise, lightly riddled with passages of time that seem slightly impossible, delivered with style and depth and utterly compelling writing. Our heroine is a nurse with money troubles who agrees to marry, for a year, to get her out of financial … Continue reading Who’d Have Thought by G. Benson
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
