Our reviewer Jude has taken up the challenge to read 12 lesfic books of Christmas in 2020, to help our readers to choose their holiday novels. We’ll be adding to the list periodically.

‘Christmas in Mistletoe‘ by Clare Lydon

Fran Bell loves music and her job in the music industry. She wants the best for the artists she works with and will do everything she can for them, including sacrificing whatever time she could spend with her family. She adores her parents – two gay men – but doesn’t share their love of Christmas. To her, “Christmas is just… See Jude’s full review

‘Comet’s First Christmas’ by Delilah Night

Claudia’s dream is to become one of the nine reindeer flying Santa around the world on Christmas Eve but she never expected to be called less than a month before the Big Show. In the blink of an eye, she becomes the new Comet and is sent to New York, where she meets her Personal Assistant, Jillian, who is… See Jude’s full review

‘An Unexpected Gift: Christmas in Australia’ by KJ

If you’ve read KJ’s books, you’ll recognize her everywhere in these five lesbian Christmas short stories (and if you haven’t, what are you waiting for?). Each story can be read as a standalone, but together they paint the picture of the few days up to Christmas in a small beach town in… See Jude’s full review

‘When You Least Expect It’ by Haley Cass

Caroline Parker hates Christmas. She has good reason to since all her girlfriends seem to believe the holidays are the perfect time to break up with her. So when one Christmas Eve she comes across Hannah Dalton, one of the most gorgeous women she’s ever met, she… See Jude’s full review

‘The Stars at Night’ by Gerri Hill

Working at the Davis Mountains State Park was never Kyler Clemons’s plan. She loved the beach life of Mustang Island, but getting caught with your boss’s wife (which reminded me of Hill’s ‘No Strings’ at first) can have unforeseen consequences. Positive consequences, since a… See Jude’s full review

‘Party Favors’ by Erin McLellan

Amanda and Wren have been online besties for five years. Wren is a badass lingerie designer, impulsive, and oh so cool. Amanda sees herself as the opposite of cool. Her nickname – which she hates – is the disco ball heiress. She does what is expected of her, endures her job at her family’s business in California and only… See Jude’s full address

Tis the Season’ by Luci Dreamer

The mistakes Bridge made in her youth led her straight to prison. After her release, having experienced the difficulty of finding a job as an ex-con, she applied for and got a grant to turn an old farm into a place to help others like her find their way back into society. When Olivia, a… See Jude’s full review

‘Midas Touch’ by Alex Hall

Frankie and Gwen were best friends from the time they met at 6 and 7. Their friendship led to teenage kissing but not much more as one day, Gwen left without saying goodbye and never came back. Until twelve years later. The way it began, this should have been a hard story to read. Gwen and Frankie grow up in… See Jude’s full review

‘All I Want for Christmas’ by Georgia Beers, Maggie Cummings and Fiona Riley

I enjoyed all three stories and I love how they fit together. They’re very different, both in tone and level of heat (Fiona Riley has not been dubbed Queen of Steam by accident) and balance each other really well. Georgia Beers gets the ball rolling with Triple Dog Dare, and it’s a beauty, probably one of my… See Jude’s full review

‘Santa’s Favorite’ by Madeleine Taylor

In this Christmas lesbian erotic romance, Lucy doesn’t have the luxury to be spontaneous. After Christmas, she’ll focus on the exams and internships that will complete her law studies but for the moment, she’s taking advantage of… See Jude’s full review

‘The Holiday Treatment’ by Elle Spencer

Holly writes the best Christmas movies but hates Christmas. Every year, instead of joining her parents to celebrate – in Christmas Cove, Vermont, of all places – she goes to Hawaii on her own for a few days. And who just happens to be on the same plane?… See Jude’s full review

‘Written in the Stars’ by Alexandria Bellefleur

When her brother Brendon sets her up on a blind date with his work friend Elle, Darcy vows it’s the last time. The date is a disaster despite all kinds of chemistry but Brendon keeps pushing and Darcy ends up declaring it went well. This leads to her asking Elle to… See Jude’s full review
