Cara reviews Ex-Wives of Dracula by Georgette Kaplan
This is one of the best lesbian vampire books I’ve ever read. While not without its flaws, it stands out for the development of its two protagonists, its prose, its humor, and its well-developed setting. Mindy and Lucia start off by rekindling their childhood friendship on Mindy’s pizza routes, in the easy way that friendships develop when you’re thatRead More
Kathryn Hoss Recommends Lesbian Beach Reads
Every summer my entire obnoxious/lovable extended family rents a beach house in the Carolinas for a week, and every summer I end up scouring Goodreads, Amazon, and the Lesbrary for “lesbian beach reads.” Usually, that phrase yields zero-to-few results. I’m here to change that. Looking for a juicy tell-all for theRead 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
Marthese reviews Fat Angie by e.E. Charlton-Trujillo
“There’s more to you than how you look, you’re more than a package” Fat Angie is a book that I had been meaning to read for a while because it seemed like a complex and intersectional queer read. Spoiler: it is. Fat Angie is about Angie, a rerunning freshman in Ohio who has a lotRead More
Korri reviews Pembroke Park by Michelle Martin
As an avid reader of historical romance novels and lesbian fiction, I have long known of Michelle Martin’s Pembroke Park; it has a legendary status among readers, which is only heightened by the fact that it is currently out of print. When I got my hands on a copy via AbeBooks, I eagerly delved in.Read More
W. Davidson-Rhodes reviews Poppy Jenkins by Clare Ashton
[Possible Spoilers Ahead] I wouldn’t call this a retelling, but Poppy Jenkins is very reminiscent of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. The setting is similar, a small community of good albeit sheltered people. Far from the hustle and bustle of the big city life. I could imagine the quaintness of it all. The way authorRead More
Aoife reviews Training Ground by Kate Christie
I was not, unfortunately, super into this book. Training Ground is the first book in the Girls of Summer series by Kate Christie, and to be honest, it reads more like a prequel – the whole book is just backstory for book 2. She categorises TG as a ‘contemporary lesfic with a romantic arc, butRead More
Shira Glassman reviews Drag Prince Charming by BA Huntley
The pitch for Drag Prince Charming by BA Huntley: conflict-averse lesbian takes her girlfriend’s drag persona to meet Mom to avoid homophobic drama. The execution wound up being pretty cute and low-stress. Push past the slightly awkward, narrated beginning to get to some chemistry that really flows, both between the protagonist and her flock of sisters, and between the protagonist and her loveRead More
Kalyanii reviews Starting from Scratch by Georgia Beers
An author skilled at her craft has a way of holding a mirror to the psyche of her reader – which is often not the most comfortable of experiences, as enlightening as it may be – and, Georgia Beers is no exception. In fact, while writing in the seemingly innocuous genre of lesbian romance,Read More
