Mistletoe Mishap by Siri Caldwell
Lesbrary Reviews

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

Shira Glassman reviews Ripped Pages by M. Hollis

October 14, 2017 by Danika Ellis

Ripped Pages is a cute addition to the thank goodness growing collection of YA where a fairy-tale princess’s happy ending is with another girl. I’ve said before that since for so many of us, fairy-tales are our first exposure to romance, whether it’s bedtime stories or Disney movies, and that means for those of us whoRead More

Danika reviews Bearly a Lady by Cassandra Khaw

October 11, 2017 by Danika Ellis

I will admit, I was sold immediately when I heard “Bisexual werebear novella.” The book opens with Zelda (yes, Zelda) irritated that her transformation into a bear is continually destroying her wardrobe. She works for a fashion magazine, so she doesn’t take this lightly. This is such a fun, light read. It’s quippy and snarkyRead More

Susan reviews Knit One, Girl Two by Shira Glassman

September 13, 2017 by Danika Ellis

Shira Glassman’s Knit One, Girl Two is a story about a yarn dyer who meets a local artist while searching for inspiration, and they fall in love over fandom, cats, and crafting—and it’s extremely cute! Clara (the yarn dyer) and Danielle (the artist) are both really well drawn characters that I was immensely fond ofRead More

Tierney reviews Bearly a Lady by Cassandra Khaw

August 24, 2017 by Danika Ellis

Werebear Zelda is lusting after hunky werewolf Jake–while simultaneously nursing a longstanding crush on her gorgeous coworker Janine. (Yes, werebear–as in, Zelda turns into a bear once a month.) And on top of everything, she’s been tasked by her boss with guarding Benedict, an insufferable member of the Fae. All of which combined leads toRead More

Julie Thompson reviews Freiya’s Stand by Anastasia Vitsky

August 8, 2017 by Danika Ellis

Freiya’s Stand gives room for queer women to embrace their religious faith, kinky desires, and career aspirations, as well as room for dreaming. Freiya and Sabrina live strictly compartmentalized lives as teachers at St. Agatha of Sicily, a private Catholic school for primary and secondary students, lest anyone find out that they’re dating. Both womenRead More

Megan G reviews Knit One, Girl Two by Shira Glassman

June 15, 2017 by Danika Ellis

Clara Ziegler is a part-time theater clerk, and a full-time knitter. Clara dyes yarn, and sells it as part of her sock club – a subscription service for yarn, where every other month you receive a surprise colour of yarn. The only problem? She used all her best ideas on the first round, and isRead More

Meet Chris Morrison, a young music lover who works at a bookstore and takes life in as it happens. When Josie— an attractive, high-spirited and easy-going ballerina— is hired at the bookstore, Chris falls head over heels, often losing her wits in the awkward butterfly moments. This leaves Chris caught in the middle of aRead More

Marthese reviews The Tchaikovsky Affair by Marie Swift

June 23, 2016 by Danika Ellis

“She’d been utterly transfixed by the brunette practically making love to her cello” The Tchaikovsky Affair by Marie Swift is a romantic novella about two musicians in the New York Philharmonic orchestra. It starts more like a romantic comedy then evolves more towards drama but in between there is a lot of fluff and probablyRead More

Marthese reviews The Housing Crisis by Kate McLay

March 24, 2016 by Danika Ellis

“She transformed from sullen hipster to beautiful girl” I don’t tend to read many contemporaries but the plot in this novella sounded interesting. The Housing Crisis is set in Chicago and follows Alyssa, who’s suddenly one roommate short and Hannah, who needs to find alternative lodging soon after a break-up. Hannah is sure of herRead More
