Season of Love by Helena Greer

I was sorry to miss the recent Zoom with Helena Greer. I was not quite finished with this, her first novel when it occurred but more importantly life was kind of imploding here. Season of Love was just the right book to be reading — a romance set during the holiday season in a cold snowy upstate New York. It’s sort of like one of those Hallmark movies but this time for lesbians. Unlike a Hallmark movie though it gets into some heavy areas regarding […]

Ask yourself, “what do I want to do with my one wild and precious life?”

Hers for the Weekend by Helena Greer

I have been waiting for Tara Sloane Chadwick to gracelessly fall on her ass in love since meeting her in Season of Love. She is an ice queen lawyer, determined to always do the right things, to fit in perfectly with Charleston’s old money society so she can take it down from the inside. She’s looking for a lesbian marriage of convenience while she politely dismantles the carceral system. Tara wants to use her wealth and privilege to make the world better while keeping her […]

I’m feeling a little rusty in my reviewing skills and kicking myself for not getting this specific review written when I finished the book because I had thoughts and now, I have fewer. I should probably start by saying that I really, truly enjoyed For Never & Always by Helena Greer in much the same way I did reading her previous book Season of Love. For Never & Always is also a queer romance which unpacks big emotions, specifically grief and trauma responses and like […]

When she was little, Hannah Rosenstein’s parents traveled all over the world, and the only place she ever felt safe and settled was at the Christmas tree farm owned by her father’s great-aunt Cass. At Carrigan’s Christmas Tree Farm, she would also get to spend time with Levi, whose parents were the cook and groundskeeper at Carrigan’s and who in practicality ran the farm for Cass. When Hannah got older, she persuaded her parents to let her go live at Carrigan’s so she could go […]

You and me together, Nan…You are an evil genius, and I am your getaway driver.

For Never and Always by Helena Greer

Many of my favorite authors write characters I want to hang out with. Some of my favorite authors write characters I would run from if I were actually faced with them in real life. Helena Greer writes worlds I want to live in. For Never and Always is a second chance/secret marriage/marriage in trouble romance with inspiration from Rapunzel. Carrigan’s has been Hannah’s refuge and her place of power. The way her anxiety manifests, it has also been her prison. In her relationship with Levi, […]

This was just as delightful as Emmalita/Rochelle promised

Miriam is working towards finally opening her own art studio in Charleston when she is informed that her great-aunt Cass died (no one had even […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.

Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
