Nicole Conn, director of lesbian movies Claire of the Moon and Elena Undone, has written a beautiful, yet realistic romance describing the characters of the movie Elena Undone. In California, Elena Winters, wife of a pastor leading a homophobic congregation, is trapped in a loveless marriage and a life of chores and activities not of her choosing. She is lonelyRead More
Jill reviews Carry the One by Carol Anshaw
Carry the One by Carol Anshaw received a ton of praise from the queer community last year, and it includes blurbs on its back cover from such heavy hitters as Emma Donoghue and Alison Bechdel, along with Publishers Weekly. And I agreed with everything they said–yet this was also a hard novel for me toRead More
TB reviews Broken Star by Joann Lee
Joann Lee’s Broken Star is a fun novel that has romance and suspense. It would be a great beach read or a good book to curl up with on a rainy afternoon. Lynn Feoras is a successful singer and writer. She has everything, or so it seems. Lynn, however, feels empty. Alexis Donatella is an SVU officer.Read More

Marcia reviews Star Cursed, The Cahill Witch Chronicles Book #2, by Jessica Spotswood
I was more than a little excited to pick up my copy of Star Cursed, the sequel to Born Wicked and book two of The Cahill Witch Chronicles by Jessica Spotswood. After Wicked‘s climactic ending — involving a serious choice and the chaos of discovering manipulation — I was sure that the Cahill sisters wouldRead More
Sponsored Review: Danika reviews Wet Paint by Sera Breen
Wet Paint is a fun, light romance novella, which would be perfect for a beach read (too bad that’s a bit out of season now). It plays into typical romance tropes, describing characters’ appearances in detail (who are all breathtakingly beautiful, of course), and sets up the free spirit artist who has just gotten outRead More
Readathon!
I am participating in Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon again, but since I’m not reading a ton of lesbian books, I’ll be updating over on my tumblr!
Lena reviews In This Small Spot by Caren J. Werlinger
While it’s clear that In this Small Spot, Caren J. Werlinger’s abbey epic, is a love story, it is ultimately a book about excess and restraint. The story’s arc is massive, sprawling across five years and numerous memories. It’s a lengthy commitment, but luckily the prose moves along at a nice pace. Werlinger has aRead More
Danika reviews The Gilda Stories by Jewelle Gomez
This October I decided that I wanted to devote some time to Halloween reads. My top pick was a lesbian vampire classic (no, not that one), The Gilda Stories. It’s not the first lesbian vampire book I’ve read, but this one stands out for being neither horror nor erotica. It follows a vampire from just beforeRead More
Sponsored Review: Danika reviews Charity by Paulette Callen
Charity is a novel that mixes several genres. It is definitely historical fiction, set in the late 19th century in a small town in America, and it is also sort of a lesbian romance novel, but there’s definitely the element of a mystery as well. At the same time, it’s an exploration of the townRead More
