If ever there were a lesson to be learned in distinguishing between the intentions of the author and those of her protagonist, it would be within Jae’s short story, “The Morning After,” which recounts the Valentine’s Day misadventures of actress Amanda Clark. Whereas I assumed the role of the indignant reader on my first pass,Read More
Elinor reviews Same Time, Next Week by Emily Smith
Same Time, Next Week is an incredibly fun novel to read, though not at all what I had in mind. I picked it up because it’s billed as a butch-femme romance. I love romance and I love butch-femme. But I didn’t like this love story or either of the heroines, and I couldn’t get investedRead More
Julie Thompson reviews Trusting Tomorrow by PJ Trebelhorn
This review contains spoilers. Trusting Tomorrow opens with Logan hunkered down in her car, not quite ready to face her father’s empty house. Having never met Logan, Brooke calls the police to check on a suspicious person parked out front of the duplex where she lives with her grandparents. Much to her mortification, Brooke learnsRead More
Audrey reviews Warm and Willing by Lawrence Block writing as Jill Emerson
Lawrence Block isn’t known for his lesbian romances, but the novelty factor of the mystery author’s name showing up on an LGBT-tagged book in my Oyster suggestions was enough to make me give this a try. Block wrote a few lesbian romances under the name Jill Emerson, but these were written way back in theRead More

Marthese reviews Aces by Kathryn Burns
‘I did not adult well’ Aces is a short book on the relationship between Astrid and Hollis, two very creative women living in Seattle. They both work in retail but have a shared passion for writing. The story is told from Astrid’s perspective. This story feels real, is not that cliché and is very diverseRead More
Audrey reviews Warm November by Kathleen Knowles
After a really fun experience with In Every Cloud by Tina Michele, also published by Bold Strokes Books, I downloaded Warm November. Hayley and Merle are both older lesbians, but Hayley’s newly out of the closet, while Merle’s just out of a long-term relationship. The last sentence of the synopsis is, “Can they overcome theirRead More
Elinor reviews Olive Oil and White Bread by Georgia Beers
Olive Oil and White Bread is an unusual romance in that it doesn’t focus on the process of falling in love. Instead, it charts more than two decades between a couple, both their highs and lows. Jillian and Angie check each other out at a New York state softball game in the late 1980s andRead More
Rachel reviewed The Locket and the Flintlock by Rebecca S. Buck
From Bold Strokes Books comes an unusual story of love amidst pre-Victorian England. The Locket and the Flintlock by Rebecca S. Buck starts in 1812 when Lucia Foxe, daughter of a wealthy British aristocrat, and her family are robbed by a band of thieves called Highwaymen. The thieves steal Lucia’s treasured locket and leave, butRead More

Melissa Brayden’s follow-up to Kiss the Girl is Just Three Words, the second in Brayden’s Soho Loft Romance series about four lesbian/bisexual friends who met in college and started an advertising business called Savvy. This time out, the plot focuses on structure-craving accountant Samantha Ennis and easygoing graphic designer Hunter Blair. The rent is raisedRead More
