A Few Drops of Water to Keep the Peace

The Wife in the Attic by Rose Lerner

April 3, 2021 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

I’m going to be clear up front that I am not a fan of the Brontes and I really dislike Mr. Rochester. When he gets held up as a romantic hero my jaw clenches. When Rose Lerner announced she was writing an f/f retelling of Jane Eyre I was delighted.  I was delighted Mr. Rochester wouldn’t end up with the love of a good woman, and more importantly, Rose Lerner is an amazing author and I’d read her retelling of my grocery list. The Wife […]

What if I’m one of those people whose insecurities are right?

Knit, Purl, a Baby and a Girl by Hettie Bell

March 4, 2021 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

There was a lot I loved about Hettie Bell’s Knit, Purl, a Baby and a Girl. It deals so graciously with surprise pregnancy, abortion and choice in reproductive rights, friendship, growing up and new relationships. Bell also does something that is one of my big pet peeves, which I will discuss behind a spoiler tag. This is a “your mileage may vary” book from an author I want to see more of. Poppy and Rhiannon meet when Poppy goes to Planned Parenthood to confirm her surprise […]

There are no guarantees, but you can talk yourself out of trying for a good thing.

Get It Right by Skye Kilaen

October 27, 2020 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

There are plenty of problems to go around. Challenges are abundant, so why not take a chance on love? Ellen “Finn” Finnegan is newly out on parole after serving 5 years of her sentence for felony theft. She’s trying to find a job so that she can pay her parole fees and find housing that isn’t her cousin’s stepsister’s couch. While she was in prison, she worked in the infirmary and fell in love with Vivian Curiel, the prison nurse who treated her like a […]

A Genuinely Sweet F/F Hockey Romance

Out on the Ice by Kelly Farmer

August 20, 2020 by Emmalita 1 Comment

Kelly Farmer’s debut, Out on the Ice, is a sweet f/f romance. Hockey romance is a surprisingly large subset of m/m romance. When I saw a women’s hockey romance on NetGalley, I was delighted. I got this as an arc from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Amy Schwartzbach is a professional hockey player with the National Women’s Hockey League team the Boston Ice. Caro Cassidy has been retired for a few years and has opened up a hockey focused ice rink for girls, […]

YMMV on this one. I bounced hard off it but other people have really seemed to like it.

Something to Talk About by Meryl Wilsner

August 4, 2020 by narfna 2 Comments

NB: I received a free ARC of this book from Netgalley, but that hasn’t affected the content of my review. This was one of my most anticipated books of the year, and I ended up being pretty disappointed with it. It’s pretty rare that a book charms me the way this one did, only to fizzle out so hard later on. Usually if I’m going to dislike a book, I know almost right away. But really, the first third of this book was great! I […]
