Review of ‘Twice in a lifetime’ by Clare Lydon.
Clare Lydon is a pro writer of feel-good lesbian romantic comedies. Her books are the equivalent of a hot chocolate in front of a fireplace: they leave the reader all warm inside. Normally her stories are inspired in London and have a British feel, but this time Ms. Lydon decided to depart from her comfort […]
Review of ‘Who’d have thought’ by G Benson.
This author is writing better and better every time and this book in particular is getting on my list of the best 2017 books so far. The theme of sham marriage is not new in lesfic but Benson presents it here so skillfully that makes up for the lack of originality. Both main characters are […]
Review of ‘Lesbian romance: The energy between us’ by Josslyn Scott.
This is a debut novella about Erin, an allegedly straight office worker, and her yoga instructor Dione. Erin starts practising yoga because she feels the need for a life change but gets a different outcome than the one she expected, a change that questions her sexuality. As a yoga enthusiast myself, the book’s main idea […]
Review of ‘Love after hours’ by Radclyffe.
Radclyffe if one of my top ten favourite lesfic authors (see https://lezreviewbooks.com/my-top-tens/). She’s a very reliable author whose romances often portray glorious butches and strong femmes. This book is number 4 of ‘A Rivers Community’ series portraying love and life around the Rivers hospital and its surrounding small town. Even though this is a stand […]
Review of ‘The road to wings’ by Julie Tizard.
Good debut novel by Julie Tizard that describes the training process of a woman Air Force pilot in the 1990s with a slow-burn romance in the background. The author is a pilot so the book often gets very technical on flying issues and sometimes feels more like a chronicle than a novel, so consider yourself […]
Review of ‘Party wall’ by Cheyenne Blue.
This is a slow-burn romance between Freya, a yoga teacher and wellbeing shop owner, and Lilly, her next door neighbor and sex shop owner. At the beginning, their different personalities and lifestyles clash but their feelings eventually change following the formulaic plot of ‘hate and then love’ relationship. I’ve read a couple of books by […]
Review of ‘Turbulence’ by E.J. Noyes.
Wow… and when I say ‘wow’ I mean… WOW. After the author’s debut novel ‘Ask, tell’ got to my list of best books of 2017, I was wondering if that was just a fluke. Fortunately for us lesfic readers, now it’s confirmed: E.J. Noyes CAN write. Not only that, she can write different genres (‘Ask, […]
Review of ‘Illegal contact’ by Becky Harmon.
According to the publisher, this book is categorised as Romance / Action, though there is more of mystery than romance. The story revolves around Jamison Krews, a private security agent, who is assigned to protect college football star player Shea Carter after she received death threats. After a rocky start, they feel a mutual attraction […]
