I have read this book three times back to back in 4 days

Cinnamon Roll by Anna Zabo

by 5 Comments

I am on a streak of extraordinarily good books. Anna Zabo is a phenomenally good writer. I know kinky queer romance isn’t everyone’s bag, but Zabo is such a good writer I want everybody to read them. They write so beautifully I have been unable to review their novella, Weave the Dark, Weave the Light because it is beyond my ability to describe. I can only say the language cuts you like a knife and then you say thank you. Maxime and Tom have circled […]

Soft and angsty romance

Best Laid Plans by Roan Parrish

by Leave a Comment

There are three thing I know about a Roan Parrish book before I open it. It will be queerly m/m. It will be rich in emotion. The two main characters will be messes who make each other better people. My only consistent critique of her work is that I wish her characters went to therapy more often. In real life, I would insist on it, but in fiction I can sink into their emotional lives and become mushy with them. Rye Jannsen is at the […]

Okay, I Finally Get the Appeal of the Enemies-to-Lovers Thing

Anyone But You by K.G. MacGregor

**Spoilers Below** I was starting to think I’d never find a contemporary F/F romance that would make me swoon in the same way my beloved Lady’s Guide did. The stack of DNF recommendations was starting to embarrass me, because I like sticking with books, but found myself abandoning a dozen after a chapter or two. The ones I did finish struck me more by how annoyed I was after I read the last chapter than anything else. Then I came across A Proper Cuppa of […]

Nothing to Care About

Something to Talk About by Meryl Wilsner

by 2 Comments

I’m a cover whore. Oftentimes, it only takes a cute cover for me to buy a book. I know it’s a compulsion I should reign in, along with buying drinks because the can is adorable, but alas, I haven’t yet. When Something to Talk About popped up in my Goodreads feed, I was in love. My anticipation for the book was sky-high—finally a Sapphic book with a cover that made me swoon but that wasn’t about teenagers (nothing wrong with that, but I remained closeted […]

Ambushes Are Not Christmas Miracles

A Swedish Christmas Fairy Tale by A.E. Radley

by Leave a Comment

I’ve read quite a few of A. E. Radley’s books recently. I can happily say they are easy, breezy reads, but also interesting enough that while you can probably read this on your commute, the characters will make you want to stick around. Well, some of the characters, probably. Because the bad news is that I could barely make through one of these romantic stories without hating at least one of the women involved and wanting the other to stay alone. I’m pretty sure that’s […]
