Megan G reviews Grrrls on the Side by Carrie Pack

December 24, 2017 by Danika Ellis

Tabitha doesn’t feel like she belongs anywhere. Her ex-best friend is now her number one bully, and the only friend she has is only her friend because they smoke together and enjoy the same type of music. One night, her friend, Mike, invites her to a concert, where Tabitha is introduced to the Riot Grrrls.Read More

Rebecca reviews Heartsick by Tracey Richardson

December 24, 2017 by Danika Ellis

Heartsick is a pretty good read with a decent slow-build romance between an ER physician and a paramedic. While I do like this book and I recommend it, I would have really loved this book if it had slightly better characterization and writing. The book switches perspectives between our two protagonists, Angie Cullen, a former soldierRead More

Megan Casey reviews A Quiet Death by Cari Hunter 

December 20, 2017 by Danika Ellis

One of the reasons I read books is that I don’t like to watch TV. So it’s not necessarily a compliment when I say that A Quiet Death could easily be made into an episode of Broadchurch: death among dark and brooding scenery. But because of the shared point of view of the two main protagonists, it’s like watchingRead More

Elinor reviews Summer’s Cove by Aurora Rey

December 18, 2017 by Danika Ellis

This is such a pleasant romance! In this sweet novel, chef and single mom Darcy meets adorable soft butch artist Emerson at a wedding and the pair begin casually dating. Ever since the death of her parents while she was in med school, Emerson has been all about living in the moment. Darcy on theRead More

Shira Glassman reviews The Brutal Truth by Lee Winter

December 16, 2017 by Danika Ellis

An easy elevator pitch for The Brutal Truth by Lee Winter is “It’s The Devil Wears Prada, the movie version, but as a lesbian romance!” But it goes beyond that, and it might be more appropriate to say “This was possibly inspired by someone who wanted to see what the Meryl Streep/Anne Hathaway characters would look like if they wereRead More

Susan reviews The Raven and the Reindeer by T. Kingfisher

December 13, 2017 by Danika Ellis

The Raven and the Reindeer is T. Kingfisher’s retelling of The Snow Queen. For those who aren’t familiar with the basic story of the Snow Queen: Greta and Kay are childhood friends, and when the Snow Queen carries Kay off in the middle of the winter, Greta sets off to find him and bring himRead More

Julie Thompson reviews Mistletoe Mishap by Siri Caldwell

December 12, 2017 by Danika Ellis

For science professors Kendra and Viv, winter vacation means catching up on paperwork and maybe squeezing in research, too. They’re a long-term couple with a wonderful rhythm, but romance gets buried beneath the layers of routine. Long hours dedicated to the geology and immunology departments at the university plus professional obligations equals short evenings atRead More

Marthese reviews Carol by Patricia Highsmith

December 1, 2017 by Danika Ellis

”How would the world come to life? How would its salt come back?” Finally read this classic! Carol, originally published as The Price of Salt by Patricia Highsmith in 1952, was written in the late 40s, taking some inspiration from Patricia Highsmith’s real life and running away with it. The story is about Therese, a youngRead More

Danika reviews The Year of the Knife by G.D. Penman

November 29, 2017 by Danika Ellis

Sully has not been having a good summer. She works for IBI, the investigation bureau of the British empire, and despite the strikes against her–woman, Irish, gay–she has managed to gain some respect by being the best in the field. She may have learned from a hedge witch, but she can hold her own againstRead More
