Mary Springer reviews Desperate Times by Hildred Billing

June 4, 2019 by Danika Ellis

This review contains spoilers. I will state when I am about to go into them, so if you want to read the first few paragraphs to get a general gist of the book, you can do so safely. Romances between two butch lesbians are hard to come by, so when I found this title IRead More

Mary Springer reviews Five Moons Rising by Lise MacTague

April 2, 2019 by Danika Ellis

Malice, known as Mary Alice to her family, is a trained hunter for paranormal creatures. Ruri is the beta werewolf of her pack, has been around for a couple of centuries, and is not a werewolf to be trifled with.

Mary Springer reviews Backwards to Oregon by Jae

March 5, 2019 by Danika Ellis

This book was every trope and every plot device I ever wanted all rolled into one. This is one of those books that you put down and it stays with you for days afterward. I immediately purchased the sequel and the short story collection that is in this same series. Nora works in a brothelRead More

Mary Springer reviews Love Out Of Order by Ellie Spark

December 4, 2018 by Danika Ellis

Do you ever find a book that just fits everything you’ve been looking for? It has all your favorite tropes wrapped up in a neat package, just waiting for you to pick it up. That was this book, Love Out of Order by Ellie Spark, for me. This is the story of two women who experience lifeRead More

Mary Springer reviews Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu

November 6, 2018 by Danika Ellis

This review contains spoilers. Given that this was written in 1872 by a presumably heterosexual cisgender man, I was not expecting a happy ending. This is the story of a lesbian vampire preying on an innocent young woman and being killed by said young woman’s father and her father’s friends (yes, all men). This isn’tRead More

Jessie takes her job as a stuntwoman very seriously and will allow for nothing to distract, not even the stunningly magnetic Elliot Chase. But as the two are forced to work closely together on a new film, Jessie finds it’s impossible to resist. Elliot has always avoided relationships, but Jessie makes her reconsider everything sheRead More

Mary Springer reviews And Playing the Role of Herself by K.E. Lane

August 7, 2018 by Danika Ellis

Caid has landed a lead role on the hit TV show, 9th Precinct, which is a spinoff of another show that stars Robyn Ward. Caid sometimes costars with Robyn and shares her trailer, but is often tongue-tied around the gorgeous woman. However, when changes to the script mean they have to spend more time together,Read More

Mary Springer reviews In Development by Rachel Spangler

July 3, 2018 by Danika Ellis

Cobie has been in nice, safe romance films for too long. She wants to challenge herself with by acting in the lead role of Vale, but studios won’t take her because she lacks an edgy public persona that will sell the character to audiences. Lila is a pop star who is taking the world byRead More

Mary Springer reviews Snow White and Her Queen by Anna Ferrara

June 5, 2018 by Danika Ellis

Trigger Warning: the book contains scenes of suicide, rape, and assault and this review will discuss them. This review contains spoilers. Katherine was married to the King of the Northern Kingdom when she was thirteen. Seventeen years later, she plans to kill herself, but she is saved by a beautiful young woman. Soon she findsRead More
