This is the first of Ms. Baeli’s work I’ve read and I’ve gotta say, I enjoyed it. It was a quick read, entertaining, funny in places, steamy in others, just enough suspense to keep it from becoming stale and overall a well conceived story. I’m not going to go into detail about what the storyRead More
Abigail reviews Riding Fury Home by Chana Wilson
A woman telling her own story in her own words is a powerful emotional force. Riding Fury Home by Chana Wilson packs an extra punch because we are invited to witness not only the story of the author’s life, but also of her mother Gloria’s life. The two women are so connected in so manyRead More
Danika reviews The Whip by Karen Kondazian
I will admit, I was a little wary of picking this one up. It has a very similar premise to The Rebellion of Miss Lucy Ann Lobdell by William Klaber, and I felt really conflicted about that book.

Tag reviews Honor Among Thieves by Amy Gaertner
I went into this book pretty blind except for a brief blurb about the plot, describing it as a heist novel.

When I opened the book and realized it was some 30 pages, I realized thatRead More

Guest Post: Radclyffe, editor of Love Burns Bright
Everyone—gay, straight, or otherwise—has heard the old adage: once the honeymoon is over, no one has sex much anymore. After all, we have jobs, kids, and mortgages to worry about—who has time for wild sex at all hours of the day and night? Psychologists write about the “post-honeymoon” phase (the honeymoon is said to lastRead More

Gun Brooke’s The Blush Factor, released this month by Bold Strokes Books, features a May-December romance between a savvy businesswoman and an entrepreneurial YouTube sensation.
