Beautiful love story set in the Blue mountains near Sidney in Australia. This is not just a romance: it’s a story of loss, family ties and redemption. Don’t expect heroines or larger than life characters: Ally and Bron are better described by their flaws and missteps – and maybe because of them – the reader …
Conference call is a compilation of 28 short stories from different authors under the leitmotif of lesbian literary conferences. There is no prologue by the editor to clue the reader on the original idea or how this project came to life. However, it is interesting to see that the authors vary in their experience, recognition …

This is a sweet slow-burn romance wrapped up in a cold case mystery. Or the other way around. It’s not important, what matters is that Ms. Maddox found the perfect balance between mystery and romance with multi-layered characters and a well developed plot. As the main characters’ relationship grows, the author drops clues into the …

Erin Dutton’s books have been a bit of a hit and miss for me but after reading ‘Capturing forever’ that changed completely as I loved that book. This is not as good as the previous one but it’s entertaining enough. The main characters meet in uncomfortable circumstances as Rachel walks into her best friend Violet …
Carsen Taite is on my top ten list of lesfic authors. She writes legal thrillers like nobody else. This book combines a realistic description of the intricacies of the legal system with a deep immersion in the main characters’ world. My only criticism is that there wasn’t much mystery in the conflictive situation that the …
Jove Belle is a solid lesfic author whose books are well crafted and entertaining to read. ‘Bitterroot Queen’ is the first of the series ‘Bitterroot Saga’ so expect some parts of the plot left unresolved and the introduction of some secondary characters who might have a more prominent role in the future installments. This is …
This is the debut novella by Emma Sterner-Radley. The premise of the book is that if people are stuck in their personal situations, “life pushes you along” in many different ways: it can be by chance, by self determination or by someone else’s help. The latter is what happens to Zoe, a 26 year old …
