Half Broke by Ginger Gaffney

Shannon reviews Half Broke by Ginger Gaffney

November 14, 2020 by Danika Ellis

I’m not much of a nonfiction reader, but the synopsis of Half Broke, a memoir written by Ginger Gaffney, peeked my interest. It’s not a story about being a lesbian. Rather, it’s a heart-warming story about a woman who loves horses and how she uses that love to change the lives of a group ofRead More

Danika reviews Of Ice and Shadows by Audrey Coulthurst

December 30, 2019 by Danika Ellis

Has it really been three years since I fell in love with Of Fire and Stars? I never had a chance against a high fantasy YA about two princesses falling for each other. I was eager to pick up the sequel, and it definitely did not disappoint. In fact, I think this second book has a strongerRead More

Mary reviews Hidden Truths by Jae

September 2, 2019 by Danika Ellis

I loved the story of Luke and Nora in Backwards to Oregon by Jae, in which a woman in disguise as a man marries another woman in what starts as a fake relationship to help each other on the long Oregon trial, turns into a romantic, slow burn favorite of mine. You can find myRead More

Marthese reviews Tracker and the Spy (Dragon Horse War trilogy #2) by D. Jackson Leigh

April 5, 2019 by Danika Ellis

“Not a sparkler, a blazer” Tracker and Spy is the second book in the Dragon Horse War Trilogy. I have to say that I liked it better than the first book, mostly because the main characters were Tan and Kyle, which I liked better as a pair than Jael and Alyssa. We still see partsRead More

Megan Casey reviews The Small Town Series by Iza Moreau

September 21, 2016 by Danika Ellis

It’s not that hard to review an entire series of lesbian mysteries as long as you read them consecutively and within a fairly short time. Unfortunately for the genre, many series novels are just the same book written again and again with different minor characters who commit slightly different crimes. The Kylie Kendall mysteries byRead 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
