Rebecca reviews Seeing Red: A Sapphic Fairy Tale by Cara Malone

May 26, 2018 by Danika Ellis

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

March 24, 2018 by Danika Ellis

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. After twenty-five years of dedication and determination, Marianne Gordon has finallyRead More

Rebecca reviews Dreams Unspoken by R.J. Layer

January 27, 2018 by Danika Ellis

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. We have rugged lesbian cowgirl Jo Marchal who has moved back home to be near to her dying father. Her parents do not accept her sexuality and after years ofRead More

Rebecca reviews Heartsick by Tracey Richardson

December 24, 2017 by Danika Ellis

Heartsick is a pretty good read with a decent slow-build romance between an ER physician and a paramedic. While I do like this book and I recommend it, I would have really loved this book if it had slightly better characterization and writing. The book switches perspectives between our two protagonists, Angie Cullen, a former soldierRead More

October 7, 2017 by Danika Ellis

Virginia Hale’s debut novel Echo Point is a quick and well-written read which packs substance and heat and has a sweet slow-build romance. Our protagonist is Bron who, after many years away, has returned to Australia after her sister Libby’s death. Bron has spent the last three months trying to come to terms with her grief andRead More

Love on The Road 2013 edited by Sam Tranum and Lois Kapila is an anthology of twelve stories depicting love and travel in diverse locations like India, Alaska, and New York.

Annameekee Hesik’s 2014 Driving Lessons is a cute and quick but also meaningful read. The novel follows teenager Abbey Brooks as she attempts to navigate her sophomore year at Gila High. Abbey’s journey is relatable, funny, and touching as she tries to get her driver’s license, survive high school, navigate the basketball court, come out to herRead More

Rebecca reviews Crooked Letter i: Coming Out in the South edited by Connie Griffin

July 1, 2017 by Danika Ellis

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
