This Used To Be Easier by Katia Rose

December 11, 2022 by Abi Leave a Comment

It feels kind of silly to be writing another review of a Katia Rose queer romance after I have already submitted my “Farewell for now Katia” review of the last one of them that I read, but I sort of forgot to review This Used To Be Easier so here we are. That is no knock against the book itself, a masc4femme lesbian romance about two girls who were best friends growing up, but were forced apart by circumstance and expectations. Meg is returning to […]

Just Might Work by Katia Rose

November 30, 2022 by Abi 1 Comment

And so, my journey through the sapphic romances of Katia Rose comes to an end. Originally this review of Just Might Work was going to be “Oh hey so this one has the best smut of the lot” but then I read Mistakes Were Made by Meryl Wilsner and frankly that blew everyone out of the water in the smut department, so with all due respect to the smut, I will be forced to talk about the way in which I liked the characters, very much […]

Girlfriend Material by Katia Rose

November 6, 2022 by Abi Leave a Comment

There is a photo, one of the canonical sapphic photos of the internet. It shows one woman lying down on her back, staring up at another woman’s face as she is straddled and the latter does her makeup. It’s an incredible photo and basically every queer woman I know wants that moment for themselves. Girlfriend Material by Katia Rose makes a book out of it and honestly, people should keep doing it it’s wonderful. Allison is the proverbial golden retriever nerd girl who is a […]

Y’all heard about this thing called Girls????

Catch and Cradle by Katia Rose

October 15, 2022 by Abi Leave a Comment

Katia Rose is really good at writing two people who want to kiss each other. It’s a simple thing you would think, from a romance author, but damn if this isn’t two books in a row I have read, after The Devil Wears Tartan, where I really was so into the idea of two girls kissing. I mean, this is a pretty standard position for me to take, but this time I was really into it. Catch and Cradle is the story of Hope and […]

I Swear the Fact That This Book Uses Photograph by Nickleback as an Emotional Beat is Good, Actually

The Devil Wears Tartan by Katia Rose

September 23, 2022 by Abi 3 Comments

So funny thing about me is that I’m Scottish, kinda. I’m like, the right amount of kinda Scottish to vibe with the way in which this book is kinda Scottish. It’s set in Ottawa. I live in London. Moira Murray (a name so Scottish my parents are wishing I’d changed mine to something similar instead of making it so that my Scottishness is no longer the first thing that anyone immediately knows about me) and Kenzie Andrianakis (closer to my current level of Scot) are […]

Love In Plaid

The Devil Wears Tartan by Katia Rose

TikTok got me on this one. I found myself watching a video where the author promoted her new romance novel where two women from rival highland dance schools hate each other and then…really don’t. I ordered it immediately. It was delightful. Moira is still reeling from a breakup that happened some time ago where her ex-girlfriend called her boring, something she really took to heart. All she really wants is to keep teaching at her family’s dance school, but she feels like she’s supposed to […]

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 “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.
Dixie on Track Her Down by Melinda LeighI am just starting Track Her Down and I have read them all in order till now and thought I...
Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
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.
