A blonde white woman (Tara) in a teal and yellow dress leans over the back of a pink couch so that she is face to face with a white woman with curly red hair (Holly). Holly is wearing a white tank top and blue shorts that show off the tattoos on her legs.

Ask yourself, “what do I want to do with my one wild and precious life?”

Hers for the Weekend by Helena Greer

June 9, 2024 by Emmalita 4 Comments

I have been waiting for Tara Sloane Chadwick to gracelessly fall on her ass in love since meeting her in Season of Love. She is an ice queen lawyer, determined to always do the right things, to fit in perfectly with Charleston’s old money society so she can take it down from the inside. She’s looking for a lesbian marriage of convenience while she politely dismantles the carceral system. Tara wants to use her wealth and privilege to make the world better while keeping her […]

For Never & Always by Helena Greer

January 11, 2024 by faintingviolet Leave a Comment

For Never & Always is also a queer romance which unpacks big emotions, specifically grief and trauma responses and like […]

For Never and Always by Helena Greer

October 13, 2023 by Emmalita 8 Comments

Many of my favorite authors write characters I want to hang out with. Some of my favorite authors write characters I would run from if I were actually faced with them in real life. Helena Greer writes worlds I want to live in. For Never and Always is a second chance/secret marriage/marriage in trouble romance with inspiration from Rapunzel. Carrigan’s has been Hannah’s refuge and her place of power. The way her anxiety manifests, it has also been her prison. In her relationship with Levi, […]
