Happy Mother’s Day! In the United States, Mother’s Day falls on the second Sunday in May. I’m lucky in that I was able to share a whirlwind of a Saturday with my mom recently. We shed the hustle and bustle of city life behind, shopped the outlet mall, and had fun watching Dwayne Johnson saveRead More
Tierney reviews Oath of Honor by Radclyffe
Oath of Honor recounts the reluctant romance between Wes, newly hired head of the White House Medical Unit, and Evyn, dedicated Secret Service agent: though their attraction is immediate (as it so often is in romance novels), the two suppress their feelings in favor of their professions’ singular goal – protect the president. But asRead More
Elinor reviews Best Lesbian Romance of the Year: Volume One edited by Radclyffe
I am so happy I read this anthology. The introduction starts with an Audre Lorde quote, which is the right way to kick off a book. The stories ran the gamut from meeting cute to the culmination of decades of longing. Every story ended happily, those happy endings felt genuine and deserved, and drama andRead More
Rachel reviews Innocent Hearts by Radclyffe
Radclyffe, who established Bold Strokes Books, has written a beautiful, old-west lesbian romance, Innocent Hearts.

Anna M. reviews Homestead by Radclyffe
Radclyffe’s Homestead is a departure from the romances featuring doctors and first responders and so on that usually characterize her books.

Kristi reviews Best Lesbian Romance 2012 edited by Radclyffe
Best Lesbian Romance 2012 edited by Radclyffe I was excited to be able to get hold of a copy of this through The Lesbrary, as I have not picked up the last couple of years’ worth of editions. Radclyffe does well once again with seventeen stories meant to warm the heart – and libido. ARead More
Mfred reviews Passion’s Bright Fury by Radclyffe
Trauma surgeon Saxon Sinclair does not want Jude Castle filming a documentary in her top-rated NYC trauma center. Jude Castle does not want Bossy McBossersons Sinclair telling her a damn thing, ever. Both have emotional baggage and dark secrets to hide. Radclyffe gets so many things right, I find her romance books a joy to read.Read More
