As with The Cottage, this book by Gerri Hill made me cry again. And I really never cry when reading a book. Well, almost never then. Somehow Gerri Hill manages to strike that particular chord with me. At least After the Summer Rain did. Erin Ryder is a workaholic and after she gets dumped by her girlfriend, her work ethic increases…
If I were to keep lists of, for example, ‘best kiss’, one from Night Tide would be number 1. This second book in the Seal Cove Romance series by Anna Burke is so good! I really fell in love with the story of Lillian and Ivy 🥰. The story of Lillian Lee and Ivy Holden is one of hate, rather than…
Of course, I am not superficial at all. But I have to admit that this book caught my eye because of the beautiful woman on the cover! And I just waited for her to turn around. So much for the somewhat superficiality. Beautiful Dreamer is one of the first lesfic novels I bought when I started reading seriously again. I…
Available ay Bywater Books Love in the Balance is a book that I read when it came out in 1998. Back then it was a very topical story and written in the era. If you read it now for the first time, I can imagine that it all seems a bit outdated. After all, it’s been almost 25…
I often have trouble getting to know new authors. Then I prefer to stick to what I already know because I think that’s good. I view new authors through colored glasses. Then, I often lose interest because they do not captivate me. I know, it’s a problem and I’m working on it. But I didn’t have that problem…
Thrilling novel by Gerri Hill. Not only exciting, but also quite intense, frightening, shocking, surprising and of course there is also room for a romance. In fact, that’s what I find most special about this book. I don’t think I’m easily shocked myself. But I think I occasionally read this with an open mouth. Gerri Hill succeeds in describing…
Star Trek Voyager, a female captain, plus a super sexy Borg, that’s all you need to write an appealing story, right? Omega13 probably thought so too but manages to give an interesting twist to the story in The Birds and The Bees. The crew of Star Trek Voyager encounters the Gaelians, a species that appears to be…
First off, I’m probably one of the last fanfic fans to read this story. In case anyone doesn’t know it yet, here it is. If you don’t know it yet… I’m jealous that you can read it for the first time 😉. This story is comprehensive. Or in another word, long, very long. I don’t think I’ve ever read…
Painted Moon was initially published in 1994. This copy is a special issue celebrating the book’s 25th anniversary. You can look for the 1994 version. However, this one is even more fun. Karin Kallmaker added 2 additional short stories, 8 and 25 years later. She has also written a foreword. In it, she shares what she discovered. After…
The Cottage book is one of my favorite Gerri Hill books. There are more of her that deserve first place but this one has impressed me the most. When you read other reviews about this book, you are invariably warned to have tissues ready. Well, I’m not that scared of these kinds of warnings. I see them often and…
I’d heard of The 100 but wasn’t much interested in it. Seemed like something more for younger people 😬! Who I did know was Alycia Debnam-Carey, the actress who played Lexa in The 100. I knew her from Fear The Walking Dead. In her role of Alicia Clark, I really thought she was becoming a strong character. And I…
Roslyn Sinclair is an author I got to know through reviews from TheLesbianReview . This story was first a fanfic by Telanu (penname for Roslyn Sinclair). The fanfic was from the fandom The Devil Wears Prada. It really never occurred to me that Andrea and Miranda could be or become a couple. With some apprehension I read a fanfic story by Telanu…
I am a real fan of some authors. The same goes for Harper Bliss. This Belgian author writes novels that are sometimes quite controversial. So, I like that. It’s good to step out of your comfort zone every now and then. And then again, all her novels are also very respectful, so that’s a good thing. This book of hers is…
Ok, well generally sex occurs in lesfic to a greater or lesser extent. Frankly, I like it, so to speak, when the main characters can express their love passionately in a book. Meghan O’Brien does that very explicitly. That is why her books certainly belong to the erotic genre. Then again, sex for the sake of sex is…
The Scorpion is an exciting thriller. It could easily be made into a movie. In fact, that is true of most of Gerri Hill’s books. But this one is just different from the other novels written by her. The Scorpion has also won a so-called Goldie, it’s that good. Goldie or not, I also thought this was a fantastically good…
This book by Katherine V. Forrest was first published by Naiad Press in 1983. As far as I’m concerned, this book is the Godmother of the lesbian novel, the founder of the lesfic genre! I read this book a long time ago. And I was immediately sold. This was the proof, that romance novels with women who loved women existed. It’s…
Spindrift is the first Anna Burke book I’ve read. By then I had already read 100+ lesfic novels. I didn’t know Anna Burke yet, but review sites were very enthusiastic about her, so I thought let’s try it. I always have to get used to a new voice when I read an author I don’t know yet. But with…
