Our heroine, or both heroines, has been strictly heterosexual, but finds herself falling for a person of the same gender.
Available at Harper Bliss webshop The cover of this book is so good! When I think of this book, I also think of a swimming pool. Among other things 🤭. In any case, Seasons of Love is a great novel to read during the summer holidays. During the winter holidays also works in keeping you nice and warm 🥵😂….

I like novels, romantic, sweet, sexy, angst, everything. So in general I like sweet and sultry stories. Having said all that, it seems my tastes have changed slightly. I find that I find ‘dark stories’ that are edgy, so to speak, extremely interesting. That’s why I enjoyed this novel by Lianyu Tan so much. And also the beautiful cover! In The…
Apparently, I’m in a nostalgic mood. Because I was recently thinking about this novel by Jennifer Fulton, originally published in 1993. I read it in the late 90’s and then read it a few more times. I thought it was such an impressive novel, not least because of the complex main characters. It is a book that is…
One of Gerri Hill’s first stories was published on the Academy of Bards. Since I have to read everything from Gerri Hill, of course, I also read this. And you know what, I loved it so much! While it’s…yeah, how shall I put it, it’s kind of dated. But maybe that’s exactly the reason why I liked it so much,…
I would probably never have read this book if I hadn’t seen countless tweets about it. Tweets by the way from lesfic authors and readers. I became very curious and finally gave in to my curiosity. Oh, and I’m so glad I did. What a fantastic book Taylor Jenkins Reid has written with this. And what an indelible character she…
At Seventeen is one of my top favorite books by Gerri Hill. Everything about this book is so beautiful and fun and sweet and sexy. There is also some angst in the story. But that only adds up to the beautiful love story. In At Seventeen, Madison Lansford and Shannon Fletcher meet when they are 10 years old. A…
I first read this book in the fanfic world. It was published in 2005 as ‘original fiction‘. There were quite a few of such stories online at the time. I guess that still happens today. I don’t know if that was really behind it. However, it’s a good way for authors to gain writing experience besides writing fanfic. In any…
The only Dutch title I’ve read so far ❤️. Weg van Mel vertelt over Annelies die verliefd is geworden op Mel, een van de moeders die ze heeft ontmoet op het schoolplein.
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…
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…
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…
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…
