About me

Besides being a fervent reader, I’m also someones missus and mother of an eight year old boy. My work is the kind you take home with you. Not in the literal sense, but in my head. That’s why I love escaping my life and live in a book for a while. I read to relax, so don’t expect literary studies from me. My reviews are mostly about romantic lesbian fiction in their different appearances (detective, drama, mystery, fantasy, shapeshifters, etc). Some books I buy, others I get to read in exchange for a fair review.

The Mail Order Bride

by R. Kent

I enjoyed reading this book. However, after reading the blurb, this book was not what I expected it to be. My expectation was one of a slow-burn western romance novel, what I got was a raw western with intrigue and a tiny string of roman…

The Ungodly Hour

by Laury A. Egan

The canvas of this book is Mykonos, a Greek island that is known to be the most gay-friendly with gay bars and beaches. But if what is told in this book becomes reality, Mykonos is the last place you want to be as a gay person!
In this b…

Breathe

by Cari Hunter

I think Cari Hunter’s books are my best discovery of 2019. So when I started listening to Breathe, I knew I would not be disappointed. This book is a less sensational book than others I’ve read or listened to from Hunter, but still, the …
