Review of ‘Eating life’ by Beth Burnett.
“(…) Ben smiled. ‘Is that your job, then? You eat life?’ ‘I feel like it. I want to explore everything, draw everything, taste everything, eat everything, make love to every woman.’” (Chapter Seven) ‘Eating life’ is a book about journeys: a road trip for some characters, a path of self discovery for others. It is […]
Review of ‘Her hometown girl’ by Lorelie Brown.
This is book number 3 in the series Belladonna Ink. It’s surprising how all the books in the series are so different from each other. Ms. Brown manages to create romances with flawed, conflicted characters with unusual but realistic plots. This is the story of Tansy, a 26 year-old bride who cancels her wedding at […]
Review of ‘Take me there’ by Julie Cannon.
This book’s main plot is not new for Julie Cannon: former lovers who meet again in a corporate environment that precludes any possible involvement but, at the same time, encourages a simmering attraction. The author used a similar plot line in her book ‘I remember’, published in 2013. In ‘Take me there’, Adrienne and Sloan […]
Review of ‘Miles apart’ by A.L. Brooks.
Miles apart is a story about breakup, recovery and starting new relationships. Kudos to the author for tackling in a romance book issues such as promiscuity, infidelity and breakup. It’s hard to emphasise with such flawed characters but it is a realistic approach to relationships that is often avoided in romances. The main characters are […]
Review of ‘Conference Call’, Edited by Ann Roberts.
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 […]
Review of ‘Falling hard’ by Jae
Jae is one of my favourite lesbian authors. I have read a good number of her books and enjoyed most of them specially ‘Under a falling star’ and ‘Heart trouble’. Maybe I set the bar too high when it comes to Jae’s books but unfortunately, ‘Falling hard’ disappointed me a bit. The story revolves around […]
Review of ‘Her best friend’s sister’ by Meghan O’Brien
First of all, a word of warning for those readers who haven’t read anything by this author. This book could be categorised as erotica as much as romance. Putting it in the romance category as the publisher did could be misleading for those readers who don’t know Meghan O’Brien as the excellent f/f erotic writer […]
Review of ‘The right kind of wrong’ by PJ Trebelhorn
Sweet romance between two long term best friends whose relationship start to shift after a family health scare. The main characters are well rounded and lovable, easy to empathise with though sometimes a bit frustrating in their stubbornness. The secondary characters are also likeable and complement the plot neatly. My only issue with this book […]
Review of ‘Scissor link’ by Georgette Kaplan
Entertaining erotic romance story with some light BDSM scenes. The relationship is between Wendy, a 26 year old low-level employee in an aeronautical company, and Janet, her 44 year old recently divorced boss. The dialogues are witty and funny, though sometimes the punch lines seem too polished for a real conversation. However, the main characters […]
