The Price of Salt – Patricia Highsmith
The Price of Salt is also known as Carol, like the title of the famous movie with Cate Blanchett and Roony Mara. This is a beautiful, romantic and well-written novel.

To The Edge – Cameron Abbott
I’ve read this novel by Cameron Abbott at least 4 times. I love the delicious slow burn in To The Edge. It’s a friends to lovers but man, the buildup is terrific!

In Every Port – The first one by Karin Kallmaker
I recently re-read this first novel by Karin Kallmaker. First published in 1989 it bears the sign of the times. It’s probably one of the reasons I like this book well enough to read it more than once. In fact it was probably the 3rd or 4th time I read it. In Every Port tells…

Lucifer Rising: A hot detective romance by SL Bowers
Link naar Epub *repost with Epub file* This story was originally an Uber Xena fic. Later it was first published in 1999. I had a copy but after a few reads, the pages fell out. Tried to buy a new one but it’s out of print (used only). Fortunately, the story is also still available…

Heaven Down Here – Rebecca Hall
It’s time for a XWP classic! Heaven Down Here was released in 1996. When I began to think how many years ago this is, I couldn’t believe it has been 26 years 😱! That is a bit frightening, to tell you the truth. Luckily my brain still works, and I can remember this story as…

Age Gap Romance in Touchwood
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…

Casey and Tessa: A Forbidden Romance in XWP
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…

Above All, Honor – Radclyffe
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…

An Emergence of Green – Katherine V. Forrest
As far as I’m concerned, this novel by Katherine V. Forrest does not fall into the ‘light reading’ category. It’s a pretty intense story. Originally published in 1986. Dated? Maybe, but certainly in some cases unfortunately still current. Paul and Carolyn Blake live a sluggish and bourgeois life. And Paul tries very hard to keep it that way. He doesn’t…

Just Between (serie) – Gina L. Dartt
Ok, ok, ok, here’s the godmother of the J/7 fanfics 🥰! Gina started this series in 1998 and it has become 50 stories spread over 5 seasons. And I just don’t know where to start, this is so good. Everything you could have imagined, hoped for, fantasized about a love affair between Janeway and Seven comes…

Towards Sunset – Della Street
Xena as a bandit in a western story? Yes, anything is possible in fanfiction 🪅. And luckily so! In Towards Sunset, the bandit Jess resides in the town of Meyersville. To pass the time, she goes after the good schoolteacher Mattie. Mattie is intimidated by the arrogant Jess, who seems to care about nothing and no one. But looks are…

Kara’s Moon – Gerri Hill
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,…

Resistance – Della Street
Della Street is one of my favorite XWP authors. She knows how to describe the Xena/Gabrielle dynamics so beautifully. And her stories are so romantic 🥰. Her story Resistance is a classic for me. Literally now because she wrote this in the late 90s. It’s a Conqueror story, a timeline in which Xena didn’t choose the light. And I like…

Queen – L.N. James
Oh, this one is so good. It’s been years since I’ve read this story, but I still remember it like it was yesterday. This XWP story of LN James is not just 🔥🔥🔥 the characterization of Xena and Gabrielle is so well described too! God, it’s like watching an episode of XWP but then one you’ve always actually…

My Protector – J.C. Wilder
Finally, here’s my first XWP fanfic fav I’m writing about. I have quite a few that I would like to share. Unfortunately, not everything can be found online. And now, I had burned everything to a cd disc years ago (yes, it’s been that long), but I can’t find that disc anymore?! Fortunately, there are quite a few available…

The Birds and the Bees – Omega13
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…

Painted Moon: snow bound romance
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…

Curious Wine – Katherine V. Forrest
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…
