A Holiday Romance with Depth: Season of Love by Helena Greer

December 28, 2023 by Danika Ellis

Buy this from Bookshop.org to support local bookstores and the Lesbrary! Every year, I intend to read a bunch of queer holiday romances in December, but I don’t usually follow through with it. The holiday romances that I have read were often flops, which doesn’t help. This year, I gathered together my collection of sapphicRead More

Fake Dating Meets Single Parenting: Make Her Wish Come True by A.L. Brooks

November 6, 2023 by J.P.

Buy it on Amazon with this Lesbrary affiliate link! Make Her Wish Come True by A.L. Brooks was released on October 23, 2003 and is a contemporary romance about two women who are absolutely not in a place to date. Or so they keep telling themselves. Abby Baxter had to grow up way too fast,Read More

Meagan Kimberly reviews Make You Mine This Christmas by Lizzie Huxley-Jones

December 31, 2022 by Lesbrarians

Christopher and Haf meet at a university Christmas party one night and after drunkenly kissing under the mistletoe, they’re mistaken for a couple. Rather than own up to the truth that they were simply strangers making out at a party, they go along with the idea. Haf agrees to fake date Christopher during the breakRead More

Kait reviews When You Least Expect It by Haley Cass

November 3, 2021 by Lesbrarians

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link This is my first review for the Lesbrary, and I know that a review is only as useful inasmuch as you, the reader, agree with (or at least know the tastes of) the reviewer. If I, a total rando with no other qualifications than my sexual preference andRead More

Shana reviews Comet’s First Christmas by Delilah Night

December 17, 2020 by Danika Ellis

I love sappy holiday movies, and Comet’s First Christmas nailed the sweet and silly tone of some of my favorites, glossing over any plot holes with Christmas magic.  It’s a sweet, earnest, PG-rated novella about a reindeer shifter who falls for an elf. The worldbuilding is excellent, but the storyline is unlikely to appeal toRead More

Kayla Bell reviews Mistletoe by Lyn Gardner

December 5, 2020 by Danika Ellis

After this dumpster fire of a year, I am very much looking forward to the holiday season. Christmas music, holiday movies, and baking are the distractions I need this year. So when I saw Mistletoe on sale on the iBooks store, I jumped at the chance to read what seemed like a sapphic Hallmark movie.Read More

Kayla Bell reviews Gingerbread Hearts: Six Lesbian Christmas Stories

January 2, 2020 by Danika Ellis

Just like last month, this month I wanted to read a cozy, sweet holiday themed book because I don’t think there are enough queer ones out there. This short story collection from 2012 was a decent addition to that list, and if you’re looking for a very fast Christmas read, this anthology might be forRead More

Danika reviews Mistletoe Mishap by Siri Caldwell

December 15, 2018 by Danika Ellis

I went into this fully expecting it to be lesbian Christmas erotica–which would have been fine, as a fun, quick read! Instead, Mistletoe Mishap has a lot more nuance that I expected. Viv and Kendra are married, and their sex life has fizzled out a bit. Kendra is trying to reintroduce sex to the relationship, and theyRead More

Julie Thompson reviews Mistletoe Mishap by Siri Caldwell

December 12, 2017 by Danika Ellis

For science professors Kendra and Viv, winter vacation means catching up on paperwork and maybe squeezing in research, too. They’re a long-term couple with a wonderful rhythm, but romance gets buried beneath the layers of routine. Long hours dedicated to the geology and immunology departments at the university plus professional obligations equals short evenings atRead More
