Another good installment in the Love and Courage series
Review of ‘Guarding Hearts’ by Jaycie Morrison This was another good installment in the Love and Courage series. My first thought after reading book 2 was that I figured it should be the end of the series, that a third book wasn’t really needed. I have to admit I was wrong. I enjoyed this book […]
A great lesbian historical fiction books series
Review of ‘The Care and Feeding of Waspish Widows’ by Olivia Waite, audiobook narrated by Morag Sims This is number two in the ‘Feminine Pursuits’, a lesbian historical fiction books series set in England in the early 1800s. Olivia Waite normally writes m/f romances so she was unknown to me until she wrote ‘The Lady’s […]
I’m not a fan of lesbian historical fiction books but this is a gem
Review of ‘The Lady’s Guide to Celestial Mechanics’ by Olivia Waite, Audiobook narrated by Morag Sims What a fantastic story. I’m not a fan of lesbian historical fiction books because they normally portray hard times to be a woman, let alone a lesbian, but this one is a gem. It is as feel-good as it […]
A fantastic lesbian debut audiobook
Review of ‘Letters Never Sent’ by Sandra Moran, Audiobook narrated by Lisa Larsen There are some books that, no matter how long ago you’ve read them, will stay in your memory as if it was just yesterday. For me, this is the case of ‘Letters Never Sent’ by Sandra Moran. I’ve read it in 2014 […]
‘Heart of Gold’ is one of those special lesbian debut books
Review of ‘Heart of Gold’ by Luci Dreamer Now and again, someone suggests a debut book to me. Honestly, I feel both delight and a little trepidation because I don’t know what I might get in the bargain. To be fair, most are decent reads. But I think I’m like many in that I live […]

This lesbian opposites-attract story is one of forbidden love not only between two women but also from different social classes set in the midst of war. Ellie […]
A good addition to Vetted, a lesbian historical fiction series
Review of ‘Pioneering’ by K’Anne Meinel ‘Pioneering’ is the next chapter in the continuing saga of Erin and Molly Herriot. While its predecessor, ‘Cavalcade‘, details the couples’ dangerous journey from Ohio to Oregon via a wagon train, this book paints a solid portrait of the day to day struggles of the Herriot family as they […]
A solid lesbian pioneers story set in the 1800s
Review of ‘Cavalcade’ by K’Anne Meinel The westward journey along the Oregon Trail during the 1800’s is pure Americana legend. It’s an absolute goldmine for storytelling and ‘Cavalcade’ takes on the epic lesbian pioneers story with pure gusto. If you read ‘Vetting‘, then you need to know that ‘Cavalcade’ and its sequel, ‘Pioneering’, recount the […]

It would seem I was mistaken.” Charlotte Lucas, now Mrs. Collins is living the dull life of a parson’s wife just as she wanted. Resigned to a loveless marriage her days are filled with endless […]
