People of Color – one or both of the MC’s is a woman of color
I believe this was the first of Eliza Lentzski’s standalone novels I read. I was hooked after that. Her novels are so sweet and romantic. Hot too! And her characters are amazing. They are often sweet, charming, awkward, aloof, strong willed, stubborn, but always likeable and they feel real. Same goes for flight attendant Alice…
I promised myself I wouldn’t do it. There are so many fantastic stories yet to read, so many ships to adore. If I would expand my fanfic horizon then Caitvi was next in line. And then I would venture into Korrasami land. It seems that I am easily persuaded😇. This story was recommended to me…
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 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…
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…
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…
Madeleine Taylor is the pen name of Lise Gold. I have also read some of her books under her own name, that I also enjoyed. But this erotic novel stood out. Because it’s erotic, yes, but also because of the story. Sex with plot, what more could you want 😏. In Online, Valerie accidentally comes into contact with lesbian erotic novels. She…
It is a known fact. A couple not ready for a relationship embarks on a no strings affair. Enjoy each other, no hassle. Entirely right. Almost always goes well. unless you want more from the person you have great sex with and who you actually feel very comfortable with. Such an incident happened to wealthy stockbroker Isabelle Rhodes. According to her…
I’ll be honest. It took me some time getting used to this understated novel by Eliza Lentzski. But just like the wine that Sour Grapes is about, the book had to mature a bit in my experience. This metaphor is a bit far-fetched, but accurate nonetheless 😂. In Sour Grapes, June St. Clare is heading towards a promising future. She…
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…
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…
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…
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…
