Anna reviews Storms by Gerri Hill

October 13, 2011 by Danika Ellis

I’ve read almost all of the books Gerri Hill has written. I’ve enjoyed romances like Behind the Pine Curtain and Love Waits and been more skeptical of recent “action-romance” pieces like The Scorpion. Thankfully, Storms (2011) falls more into the mold of the engaging romances I favor, in both good and bad ways. Carson CartwrightRead More

MFred reviews Bittersweet by Nevada Barr

October 11, 2011 by Danika Ellis

The back copy of Nevada Barr’s Bittersweet promised me a truthful, accurate portrayal of two women living together in the 1800s West.  Imogene, a spinster teacher, is forced from her job in the East when her secret affair with a female student is revealed.  She ends up in small Pennsylvania farming town, where she starts a friendshipRead More

Danika reviews Call Me Softly D. Jackson Leigh

October 8, 2011 by Danika Ellis

I’ve got to tell you, I am perhaps unreasonably impressed by this book. I’ve been reading a lot of self-published lesbian fiction, and I’m sorry to say that that often lowers the bar. Besides, Call Me Softly even corrects some common published lesfic annoyances, in that it has a plot unrelated to the romance. ARead More

Nichole reviews Scarcity by Kate Genet

October 7, 2011 by Danika Ellis

Scarcity by Kate Genet is the short story of a painter, Teresa, and her relationship with a much younger girl, Scarcity. Within the first few pages Genet gives a good description of the artist, but the reader still has’t really gotten a clear picture of who the main character is yet. She seems to beRead More

Kristi reviews The Collectors by Lesley Gowan

September 22, 2011 by Danika Ellis

Laura has a passion for collecting BDSM lesbian erotica. That passion also extends to her fantasy of becoming a real submissive. She never believed there was a way to translate her desires into real life, until her classmate Adele introduces Laura to her mistress, Jeanne. Laura finds herself a willing, if inquisitive, submissive to JeanneRead More
