Seeing Red is a cute and quick read with a sweet romance and really well-written characters. It’s loosely based on the fairy tale and I absolutely enjoyed this modern take with relatable characters. Hunter has too much on her plate. She’s living with her sister, Piper and helping with the bills and her two nephews. She’sRead More
Rebecca reviews Sparks Fly by Llinos Cathryn Thomas
Sparks Fly by Llinos Cathryn Thomas is a cute space romance novella between two older women with a happy ending. While I did like the characters and the plot, I wish Jo’s character was more developed and the setting was better written and more established.

Rebecca reviews Dreams Unspoken by R.J. Layer
R.J. Layer’s Dreams Unspoken is an okay read with a dull and dragging plot and the slowest burning romance ever. The book features two very different protagonists.

Heartsick is a pretty good read with a decent slow-build romance between an ER physician and a paramedic.

Rebecca reviews Crooked Letter i: Coming Out in the South edited by Connie Griffin
The 2015 non-fiction collection Crooked Letter i: Coming Out in the South edited by Connie Griffin is interesting and moving but sadly not very diverse. The book focuses on the coming out experiences of Southern lesbian, queer-identified, gay, and transgender people. The book’s unique title is inherently Southern. It comes from the chant that young Southerners useRead More
