You Say You Want a Revolution

Glorious Day by Skye Kilaen

August 1, 2020 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

The first sentence of Skye Kilaen’s Glorious Day sold me. The fact that it was a fast moving, thoughtful, quick read kept me. It had been difficult that morning to fit treason in around my duties as vice-captain of the castle complex’s security forces. Elsenna Hazen is providing information to a rebel faction and hoping an end to the current king’s rule comes swiftly. She does not expect to survive the coming coup, in whatever form it takes. The Princess throws a wrench into Vice-Captain […]

Anyone But You

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

Anyone But You by K.G. MacGregor

June 3, 2020 by surebitch Leave a Comment

**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

May 28, 2020 by surebitch 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 […]

The country house party from Hell.

Proper English (England, #0) by K.J. Charles

February 3, 2020 by narfna 2 Comments

This wasn’t nearly as good as Think of England, one of my top five books from 2019, but it was still top quality, as I’ve come to expect from my K.J. Charles books. Proper English is an indirect prequel to Think of England, as it takes place two years earlier than the previous book, and shows how Fen and Pat met (they are together at the time Think of England is grappling with its own disastrous house party). But you really don’t need to read […]

First the blurb, for context: A seductive thief Lady’s maid Molly Wilkins is done with thieving—and cheating and stabbing and all the rest of it.

A f/f Regency romance from a major publishing house. It’s a unicorn!

The Lady's Guide to Celestial Mechanics (Feminine Pursuits, #1) by Olivia Waite

December 20, 2019 by narfna Leave a Comment

For the most part I enjoyed this, despite a pretty significant misstep near the end. Firstly, I just want to say how happy I was when I heard this was being published. I have been looking for a historical romance f/f novel for a while now. I put out a call to my romance reading friends about six, seven months ago, and there were several novellas we turned up, but most published f/f is contemporary right now, and that’s not really my genre. And the […]
