Deep Deception is the third book in Cathy Pegau’s science fiction/romance series set on the chilly mining colony of Nevarro, after Rulebreaker and Caught in Amber. The latter features a m/f couple, and the former, which I reviewed here at the Lesbrary, was one of my favorite books of 2011. Deep Deception is scheduled forRead More

Anna M reviews Without Warning by KG Macgregor
Taking my cue from a comment on my last review, I read another KG MacGregor book, this time Without Warning.

Anna M. reviews Photographs of Claudia by KG Macgregor
A few weeks ago, I jumped on a chance to download a free ebook of K.G. MacGregor’s romance Photographs of Claudia from Bella Books. I’d never read anything by MacGregor, and I’m always looking to expand my list of authors I enjoy. The book was published in 2010 and alternates between action in the lateRead More

Anna M. reviews Girl Friends Complete Collection v.1 by Milk Morinaga
During an idle moment at work, I pulled the first volume of the Girl Friends manga collection by Milk Morinaga off the shelf and devoured it in one sitting. The book is classified as young adult (despite a bit of nudity) and I have seen it described online as “schoolgirl yuri.” The shy, bookish MarikoRead More

I read and enjoyed Tracey Richardson’s 2008 book The Candidate*, about presidential candidate Jane Kincaid and her secret service agent Alex Warner. At the conclusion of The Candidate, Jane had been elected vice president of the United States and was openly involved with Alex. When I heard about Richardson’s follow-up, The Campaign, I couldn’t resist–especiallyRead More

Gerri Hill, known for writing romances and “straight” procedural mysteries, dips a toe into paranormal waters with Keepers of the Cave (published July 2012), in which FBI agents Paige Riley and CJ Johnston are sent undercover to a girls’ reform school, situated adjacent to a creepy community of cult-like family members. The community of HoganvilleRead More
Anna M. reviews Switch by Q. Kelly
I read and enjoyed Q. Kelly’s novel Strange Bedfellows, and was glad to have the opportunity to read her latest book, Switch. Kelly says on her website that most of her ideas are adapted from real events, and this book addresses the repercussions in the lives of two women when it is discovered that theyRead More
