The more of Chace Verity’s books I read, the more I love them. Their characters are soft, accepting, respectful, funny, and extremely horny. hen they get to the point where they are having sex, there is so much joy. Chrystal loves writing video games even though the small company she works for is rife with toxic […]

The Holiday Trap by Roan Parrish

by 1 Comment

Very early in 2022 I found a couple of holiday romances to place on this year’s to read list for reading during the holiday season as I wind down my reading year. Roan Parrish’s The Holiday Trap was one that found its way on that list by virtue of its place on Buzzfeed’s Most Anticipated LGBTQ Romances of 2022 list and that I had been meaning to pick up a Parrish book anyway. Honestly, the premise of The Holiday but queer was likely going to […]

Season of Love by Helena Greer

by 4 Comments

Season of Love would not have made its way to my holiday season reading if not for emmalita’s lovely gifting of it to me, but it does check several boxes for my recent reading input: it is a queer romance which unpacks big emotions, specifically grief and trauma responses.

Calling the Shots by Kelly Farmer

Kelly Farmer’s Calling the Shots is a solidly entertaining and emotional contemporary sapphic romance. This is the third in her On the Ice series about professional women’s hockey players.

The characters are more comfortably layered and complex and the push/pull of Regan and Tierney relationship flows easily, even the third act break-up. Regan Lane has gone from being a professional women’s hockey megastar, to an assistant coach for a middling professional men’s hockey team. She has […]

Dead Dead Girls (Harlem Renaissance Mystery #1) by Nekesa Afia

by Leave a Comment

Dead Dead Girls by Nekesa Afia has a beautifully illustrated cover that caught my eye. I (wrongly) assumed this was a cozy mystery set in the Harlem Renaissance. But it’s a historical mystery about a serial killer murdering Black girls who work or visit speakeasies. The book follows Harlem resident Louise Lloyd who is unintentionally famous for surviving a kidnapping as a teenager. Known as Harlem’s Hero, she rescued her fellow captives. In the present time of the book, she wants to move past all […]
