Spear by Nicola Griffith
An Arthurian tale with a female twist Seeing a new Nicola Griffith novella coming out put a spark in my heart. Spear is an Arthurian tale with a female twist which makes it even more amazing. The main character, Peretur, is raised in an isolated cave deep in a forest, warded by her mother’s magic. […]
Unbroken by Alli Temple
Can sapphic pirates ever retire? This book got my adrenaline pumping and my heart beating fast. In Uncharted, Lady Georgina Elizabeth Millicent Cressida Wright reunited with her childhood friend Lou (just Lou) who had, in the meantime, become the infamous Captain Cinder. Unbroken picks up just before Uncharted ended and is told, this time, not […]
Radiant by Judy Sapphire
This was a very solid debut book I often talk about how the publisher Bella, has an unbelievable talent for finding good new authors, and I think Judy Sapphire will soon be joining that list. While I wasn’t blown away by this, it was enjoyable and absolutely an above-average read, which to me means, even […]
Perfect Rivalry by Radclyffe
A story with fast-paced medical scenes and low angst romance A medical romance by Radclyffe is always a cause for celebration. If it’s part of the Pennsylvania Medical Center (PMC) Hospital Romances series, even better. Ren Dunbar is not the typical surgery resident and she knows it. Graduating high school at thirteen and med school […]
Hell Bent by Calista Lynne
This novella was a wild ride This book feels like the dreams one gets sometimes after a very long day or too much alcohol at a party. I’d say nightmare but it’s too funny for that. It’s funny-melancholy though, not laugh-out-loud funny. Jules is everything a seventeen-year-old is, or can be, and that in itself […]
Delafield by Katherine V Forrest
Kate Delafield is back and just as sharp as ever I first came to lesfic through mysteries, with Katherine V. Forrest, Clare McNab, Val McDermid, and a few others, as my guides. Along with Karin Kallmaker when I found romance a few months later, Forrest is one of the authors who helped me grow, become […]
Truth and Measure by Roslyn Sinclair
This series is going to be one of the big hits of 2022 Unlike many other reviewers in our genre, I’m not a follower of fan fiction. But for as long as I’ve been reviewing lesfic books I was told that I shouldn’t miss Telanu’s Truth and Measure. I admit that I was put off […]
Beyond the Blue by TJ O’Shea
This was a wonderful read! This is another book that I read a while ago when I was recovering from surgery, and I’m just catching up writing a review for now. While I took short notes so I would remember the books and what I wanted to mention in my reviews, this book didn’t require […]
A Whisper of Solace by Milena McKay
Another gorgeous read by Milena McKay If you thought Milena McKay wrote meaningful and clever (and really hot) books, you were off the mark. Not entirely wrong but there’s so much more to her writing than that, which she reveals book after book, slowly, patiently. Just as she went one step further with The Headmistress […]
