Lesbian romance reviews.
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
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
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
Plot: our heroine has just moved across the country to open a 'scent' store on the outskirts of Chicago. 'Scent' is not a euphemism. She's in with the softball lesbians, and flirts with a gorgeous chick in Starbucks. Complications ensue with the business and the circle of friends vs. the gorgeous chick. But what matters … Continue reading What Matters Most by Georgia Beers
Plot: our heroine is a US Army surgeon deployed to Afghanistan and the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy is in place. She's got the major hots for her boss, and is in a long term relationship back home. Imagine a few scenarios where Don't Ask, Don't Tell would be particularly bad, and you get the … Continue reading Ask, Tell by E.J. Noyes
Currently on the third book of this detective-who-goes-fell-running-and-eats-chips series. Gruesome and compelling, mostly snowing and refreshingly English. They don't drink 'tea', they 'make a brew' in this book. Sometimes they have 'a chippy' for supper. When it gets bad, they have a kebab. Use caution when reading the first 20% of any of the Dark … Continue reading Sanne Jensen books by Cari Hunter
It's light, but it's worth reading because Gerri Hill can do dialogue and wistful thoughts better than most. She's also quite good at people screwing up, or being screwed up, in quite plausible, human ways. The plot is simple: slightly traumatised writer is living a reclusive existence up a mountain when she rescues a lost … Continue reading Snow Falls by Gerri Hill
Two younger women forced to go on a road trip with a couple of crazy old women in a Winnebago. Will they fall for each other? D'uh! Some genuinely funny scenes, though, and a refreshing lack of angst. Hits the recommended list because it made us both laugh. Amazon link
