Review of ‘Love at first write’ by Jae.
This is a compilation of four short romances with authors as main characters. In this book Jae shows her versatility in writing very different stories proficiently. In ‘The romance bet’ journalist Abby James finds romantic novels predictable and easy to write, until romance author Tamara Brennan challenges her to write one. Abby soon finds that […]
Review of ‘Right here, right now’ by Georgia Beers.
‘Right here, right now’ is the story of Lacey, a control freak accountant who finds peace in the predictability of numbers and Alicia, her new office neighbour whose motto is to live in the moment. As expected, their opposite personalities initially collide but their neighbourly relationship suddenly changes into friendship and the possibility of something […]
Review of ‘A more perfect union’ by Carsen Taite.
Carsen Taite is one of my favourite lesfic authors (see my complete list here). She excels in writing legal thrillers by using her own experience as a criminal defense attorney. It’s a pity that lately she abandoned the use of legal issues in her books as they are very realistic and enjoyable. ‘A more perfect […]
Review of ‘The art of us’ by KL Hughes.
I don’t particularly enjoy angst in my books but I have to admit that ‘The art of us’ deals with it well. Around fifty percent of the plot is written as flashbacks but, instead of dividing the plot in halves, past and then the present, the author intertwined them cleverly. Past and present are not […]
Review of ‘Mistletoe mishap’ by Siri Caldwell
This is a very funny and entertaining novella ideal for a Christmas holidays read. It is a refreshing departure from the typical lesfic plot to see that the main characters are middle aged women scientists in a long term relationship. On a whim, they decide to spice up their sex life through a bet that […]
Review of ‘Rock and a hard place’ by Andrea Bramhall.
This is a slow burn romance with some mountain climbing action on the background. I thought it was going to be the opposite so I was a bit disappointed about it, but this is just related to my expectations. Ms. Bramhall is one of my favourite lesfic authors (see here for my top ten) and […]
Review of ‘The brutal truth’ by Lee Winter.
Lee Winter is one of my favourite lesfic writers (see my top favourites here). Reading her books takes me away from my comfort zone every time. This book was no exception. In a way, ‘The brutal truth’ is a typical (very) slow-burn romance with the added ingredients of an Ice Queen character and a lot […]
Review of ‘Cuffs and Protests’ by Layla Holiday .
This is the first of Ms. Holiday’s ‘Cops Gone Wild’ series. I appreciate every author’s efforts, specially those who publish independently. Unfortunately, in this case, it shows. There are some editing issues such as typos and subplots that are not properly developed. I assume these are going to be expanded in the next books of […]
Review of ‘Edge of glory’ by Rachel Spangler.
I’m not a fan of skiing or snowboarding, I’m not even interested in winter sports. Surprisingly, I thoroughly enjoyed myself reading this book. Why? It’s so well written that you don’t need to have any previous knowledge of these sports to understand what’s going on. The story presents two Olympic sportswomen with different degrees of […]
