Audrey reviews Adieu, Warm Sunshine by C.E. Case

June 17, 2016 by Danika Ellis

Sunny’s a spy who works undercover as a cop. It’s complicated. Pamela’s a dancer on Broadway. She’s not the star, and despite having a certain something, she’ll never be the biggest draw, because she can’t sing. But she’s arresting. Sunny can’t say why she shows up behind a theater on Broadway after a (lousy) showRead More

Audrey reviews Honor Girl by Maggie Thrash

April 9, 2016 by Danika Ellis

Mild spoiler warnings–nothing you wouldn’t get from reading the jacket copy, though. Reading Honor Girl is painful in the way that reading your old diaries is painful. Not the “Wow, I was stupid-shallow” parts, but the moments of earnest hope where you can see the younger you before your first real, crushing heartbreak, before youRead More

Audrey reviews Ask a Queer Chick by Lindsay King-Miller

February 13, 2016 by Danika Ellis

Obviously, it’s an advice book. Yes! It’s based on an advice column from the website the Hairpin. Ask a Queer Chick is in chapter format, not Q-and-A, so it’s nicely conversational, but it’s derived from a whole mess of questions from a whole phalanx of queer chicks (and not queer chicks) of varying degrees ofRead More

Audrey reviews Gay & Lesbian History for Kids by Jerome Pohlen

January 9, 2016 by Danika Ellis

The full title is, Gay & Lesbian History for Kids: The Century-Long Struggle for LGBT Rights, With 21 Activities. We’ll get to the activities part. First, as this is a history and reference book for children, I want to break down my impressions. Layout: Are kids going to want to read this? Is it attractive?Read More

Audrey reviews Warm and Willing by Lawrence Block writing as Jill Emerson

December 12, 2015 by Danika Ellis

Lawrence Block isn’t known for his lesbian romances, but the novelty factor of the mystery author’s name showing up on an LGBT-tagged book in my Oyster suggestions was enough to make me give this a try. Block wrote a few lesbian romances under the name Jill Emerson, but these were written way back in theRead More

Audrey reviews Snow Angel by Ronica Black

November 14, 2015 by Danika Ellis

Maggie’s been hurt before. She’s happy with her life out in the woods, with a few close friends and her dog for company. She knows how to survive.   Ellie doesn’t. She’s an actress on an incredibly popular television show, and she needs a break. She and Maggie have a close friend in common. EllieRead More

Audrey reviews Warm November by Kathleen Knowles

October 10, 2015 by Danika Ellis

After a really fun experience with In Every Cloud by Tina Michele, also published by Bold Strokes Books, I downloaded Warm November. Hayley and Merle are both older lesbians, but Hayley’s newly out of the closet, while Merle’s just out of a long-term relationship. The last sentence of the synopsis is, “Can they overcome theirRead More

Audrey reviews In Every Cloud by Tina Michele

September 12, 2015 by Danika Ellis

Having read this book at the end of July, I was happy to remember that I had written a couple sentences about it to my fiancee, because I was having fun. In looking back, it was more than a few. Here’s the initial raw impression: “I was completely delighted to go to NetGalley (on theRead More

Audrey reviews Bound with Love by Megan Mulry

August 8, 2015 by Danika Ellis

If you used to like Georgette Heyer and still love Jane Austen but are a little gayer than you used to be, perhaps it is time to check out Megan Mulry’s Regency Reimagined series. Bound with Love is a confection involving lurid pasts, long-kept secrets, and at its center, a smolderingly sensual relationship between Vanessa,Read More

Audrey reviews Femme by Mette Bach

July 11, 2015 by Danika Ellis

Femme is a nice little YA coming-out novel. It’s told by Sofie, who eventually identifies as a femme (I’m not giving anything away by saying this, seriously), and involves Clea, who fits, as Sofie’s boyfriend Paul says, “the classic jock lesbo stereotype.” Femme is safe to add to school collections (the publisher recommends it forRead More
