Sex occurs regularly in this book or story. The sex is explicitly described but is not the main thing in the book or story. It’s exciting though 😏. And sometimes the amount of sex is the only difference with explicit.
I recently reread this beautiful novel by Karin Kallmaker. It’s because I remembered a particular scene that stuck with me years after I read it. Reading it again was as powerful as I remembered. And now I understood Faith better. Still don’t understand the title though 🤔. Or maybe the title has something to do…
Wow, reading One Simple Refrain was like watching Brothers & Sisters. With Leona obviously being the character played by Sally Field. Sorry, this is slightly off topic. But it is true though, this book reads like a movie or TV show. Most of the book consists of dialogue. And since I am a big fan…
I love to immerse myself in lengthy novels. Not too long, but enough to flesh out the whole story and characters. Sometimes though I come across some fantastic shorter stories. Like this one by C_AND_B. In Always Too Soon to Figure Out How to Be Without You (short story, lengthy title 😏), Lena is about…
Have you ever had a celebrity crush? If so, did you ever think what would happen if you met that person in real life? Perhaps there be a mutual attraction. Not though, I mean… But From Fan to Forever is a romance novel, and anything is possible. Cate Whitney is a beautiful movie star and…
I am flabbergasted. This book by Eliza Lentzski is fantastic! Not that I am really surprised by her fabulous writing, but I am surprised she wrote such an amazing story set in an post-apocalyptic world. In truth, I am not really looking for stories like this in lesfic. I guess the main reason for that…
I love Supercorp fics so much. It’s because of this delicious ship of course, but also the diversity in the stories. There is lots of variety in the stories, and there is a lot of variety in writers as well. For me that is one of the greatest things about fanfiction, and fiction as well….
I experienced No Rings Attached as a hidden gem. To me that is, for it’s a very popular book. But when I read the blurb I thought, ok well this seems like a nice romance. I like the fake relationship trope, heard good things about it, and about Rachel Lacey, so why not. And it…
I put the tag ‘enemies to lovers’ on this one. But it is not really. It’s more like a ‘dislike to like’ thing 😏. But this works so well in Red Tide at Heron Bay. This one is another Gerri Hill win for me. Lauren Voss lives a quit life in Rockport. She runs her…
This book by Harper Bliss was actually a (lesfic) dream coming true for me. It’s a guilty pleasure of mine to fantasize. Sometimes I imagine the female leads in a movie or tv-show actually, you know, hit it off 😉. Does that make me weird? I don’t know. Probably not though. And you know, maybe…
Wow, what a bizarre sensation. I first read Touchwood by Karin Kallmaker some 25 years ago. Back then I thought it was strange that the 29-year-old Rayann falls for almost 60-year-old Louisa. I didn’t think it was sexy, and not romantic either. In the meantime, I seem to think otherwise. Of course, it’s unrelated to the fact. I have now taken…
I started reading this book right after Chef’s Kiss and again, this was a wonderful story by Stephanie Shea. Perhaps a little less layered than Chef’s Kiss but still a title I would call a favorite. Missed Connection tells the story of Ky Logan and Avery Dimaano, an acquaintance from Chef ‘s Kiss. They meet at Sydney airport and travel back to the US…
I had seen Stephanie Shea’s books before. But an interview with her in The Sapphic Book Review made me very curious about her books. This was the first book I’ve read by her and, okay, I’m a fan. She writes beautifully 👏🏼. Laure Green’s podcast is very much recommended by the way. Laura interviews lesfic authors in her unique way. She asks…
Frankly, I read this one a while ago. But I remember very well that this book was also a bit ‘ An Infatuation ‘ for me 🥰. I will also read it again as soon as possible. At her husband’s work party, Lise Cabot sees a woman who makes a huge impression on her. Lise feels an unlikely attraction…
Homosexuality and religion don’t really go hand in hand 😒. This usually is a subject that is best to avoid in a lesbian novel. But Gerri Hill is not so quick to answer to what is appropriate or not. She just writes a novel in which the subject takes on a leading role 😯. In Artist’s Dream, Cassie…
Harper Bliss regularly writes novels with an unconventional theme. This certainly also applies to A Breathless Place . In this book, the main character plans to commit suicide. Neither she nor her co-star in this romance are “spring chickens”. And yet it works, as always in her books. The beginning of the book is immediately confrontational. You meet Isabel…
Another XWP ‘blast from the past’. LJ Maas was a Xena fanfic legend. She has written great stories in the Xena fandom. Stories like this one. This was an uber fiction story, what would now be called an Alternative Universe. Casey is Meridio’s Daughter. She is on her way to Mykonos, the Greek island where her father lives. It’s also where she grew…
A while ago, Timber Falls, Gerri Hill’s latest book, came out. And then I thought, now I have to wait for the next book. Or just read her books again, never a punishment. But then I thought to myself: do I really have all her books now? I checked it out, and sure enough, I didn’t have Moonlight Avenue yet 👯♂️! Immediately…
Being a lover of lesbian novels, I have of course read a number of novels by Radclyffe. She knows better than anyone the art of writing an excellent cun-uh heart throbbing romance. Above All, Honor is one of her first novels, I think. First published as an original fiction story on a fanfiction platform. Where you can still find it with a…
Jesus, this one was so good! This fic is from 2015 and I had it on my e-reader for a while. I wasn’t quite sure what to make of it, but I was curious anyway. And I’m so glad I read this. It’s been a long time since a story touched me like this! This is certainly also due to…
Lately I’ve been reading almost all Supercorp fanfic. But I knew I still had some SwanQueen fics I was curious about. I read this one first on the list and…wow! What a beautiful story 🥰. Makes me want to read more SwanQueen stories again. In this fic, Emma and Regina are good friends. They have been through a lot together in…
