I wanted to see older genderqueer and butch masculine-masculine couples having hot sex and BDSM shenanigans. I wanted toRead More

May 2, 2013 by Danika Ellis

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

Anna reviews Roller Coaster by Karin Kallmaker

January 9, 2012 by Danika Ellis

As I’ve mentioned before on this site, I’ve read pretty much everything written by Karin Kallmaker, and I am pleased to report that Roller Coaster is her best effort in years. The novel is almost twice as long as her usual work (according to her blog it’s the longest book of her career), and her deliberate approach pays off asRead More
