Sprinkled in the Stars by Violet Morley, narrated by Abby Craden
A romance with an ice queen and a very cute kid I’m not sure why this author has escaped my lesfic radar until now since she’s written two books already, this being her impressive debut. I have to admit that probably I wouldn’t have read this book anytime soon if the audiobook version wasn’t narrated […]

An average coming-out story
Review of You Know I’d Never by Kara Lowndes I thought we were past the time when coming out was the whole story. I guess maybe we’re not, or not all of us are. Janey is drowning in (mostly polite) homophobia and guilt for not being brave enough to fight it and stand for herself. […]
