There’s a bit of everything in this book
Review of The Papercutter by Cindy Rizzo The Papercutter offers us a possibility for what our near future in the USA might look like. The country has split into two nations: the God-Fearing States (GFS), which is ultra-conservative, technically backward, and racist. Think red hats. The other states belong to the United Progressive Regions (UPR) […]
A sweet slow-burn romance involving a biracial couple
Review of Breaking Out by Lise MacTague I was reading the author’s bio before getting started on this novel and thinking, why have I never read her before? The third sentence of the bio is: “Previous to this, she has written space opera, steampunk, and paranormal urban fantasy”. Seriously? How did that happen? “Space opera, […]
Honey Girl was on my list for the most anticipated books of 2021
Review of Honey Girl by Morgan Rogers This book! Honey Girl was on my list for the most anticipated books of 2021. When I found out I was accepted for a review copy, I could not have been happier. I went into this book with a lot of high expectations and I’m happy to say […]
Anna Burke’s books make me uncomfortable but they are great
Review of ‘Night Tide’ by Anna Burke Anna Burke’s books make me uncomfortable. Whether it is one of her morally grey characters, an f/f romance in the Middle Ages, or, like in ‘Night Tide’, a deep hostility between the main couple, Burke’s novels aren’t fluffy reads. But I love every single one of them because […]
An ok lesbian workplace romance book

In these last couple of years, mainstream publishers have started publishing more lesbian romances than ever. Olivia Waite’s ‘Feminine Pursuits’ […]

A very good wlw historical fiction novel set in the 1980s
Review of ‘Invisible as Music’ by Caren J. Werlinger, audiobook narrated by Ann Etter This is a very good wlw historical fiction novel set in the US in the 1980s during the first presidency of Ronald Reagan. I wouldn’t set it firmly in the romance category as it mostly emphasises on a strong platonic bond […]
An entertaining lesbian interracial romance book
Review of ‘The Woman in 3B’ by Eliza Lentzski This was an entertaining lesbian interracial romance book with a light premise that somehow leads to an exploration of discrimination against Middle Eastern Americans. If you are looking for an enjoyable, fun and hot read with some food for thought, then this might be your book. […]
An exhilarating lesbian thriller book
Review of ‘Tumbledown’ by Cari Hunter, Audiobook narrated by Nicola Victoria Vincent Maybe it wasn’t such a clever idea to listen to ‘Tumbledown’ straight after ‘Desolation Point’ since now I miss Sarah and Alex. Part of me would hate being friends with them in real life because I would worry about them incessantly. Another […]
