Kayla is the school rebel, she we... | [

"You are what you drink."
I'm a huge fan of coffee but I don't buy my coffee in Starbucks or other coffee shops because I find it expensive. If you drink too much coffee like I do, it's economical to make it myself. LOL. So, I'm not very familiar with the kind of coffee and lattes being mentione... | [

My chest hurt at the desolation in his voice, as if he never expected to love again, couldn't really even believe in it anymore.
"Yes."

Measuring Up was a light and quick read for me. I've read and loved several Nyrae Dawn novels and I think this one is pretty enjoyable. Not her best, but still an entertaining read.
I liked the story, it's simple and well explained. The characters were so real and easy to relate to. Annabel is a 17 year old with body... | [

Hilarious, clever and absolutely adorable - I couldn't put it down!
I've just finished reading and now my face hurts because I've been grinning so hard. The characters are amazing, the pop culture references are all wonderful (and you get recced for a lot of great music) and the ship is so freaking amazing you can't ... | [

I'm sorry, Bree.
I think if I started listing all the things I hated about this, the things I rolled my eyes at and made me facepalm then I would exceed the character limit (okay, no, it's gonna bother me if I don't list anything.

This book was provided for free by the author via IndiGo Marketing & Design in exchange for an honest review.
This was a fast, tightly-written romance with two very likable leads who have great chemistry. I only wish it was a little more fleshed-out!

This book was hard to pin down but enjoyable nonetheless. If I was 14 and blind-browsing a bookstore for a new read, I'd probably be disappointed picking this one up. It requires you to have read both the Harry Potter books (a given for most) and Rowell's amazing contemporary YA book Fangirl, and if you didn't enjoy ei... | [

This was a hard one to rate. I hovered between a two and three-star rating because, while I really didn't enjoy the story, I know there will be a lot of people who will. It appeals to a certain mentality, and all in all, it's a technically sound piece of fiction.
I just didn't connect with it on any level.

I often dread mental asylum plots in fiction, especially historical works. Maybe the American Horror Story: Asylum scarred me for life. Maybe it's because, as a mentally ill lesbian, I'd almost certainly be in one myself if I were living 150 years ago. Either way, they always leave an unsettled feeling in my belly.

I was in the middle of three or four very good books, but I had a deep and sudden craving for more of Maris Black's intense, dirty erotica. Maybe it was the weather. Maybe I'm ovulating. Anyone's guess.

I read this series over about two days. It's exactly what a good romance series is supposed to be--fast, scorching, and fun. Originally, I read the first book, Kage, for the M/M Romance Author of the Month pick, and I ended up enjoying it so much I swept through the next two books.
This book definitely took a turn in... | [

I'm not quite sure how I missed the fact that Damon Suede has written four other novels besides my favorite M/M romance of all time, Hot Head. I feel like I've been checking in on his author page here and there, and all of a sudden he has a bunch of stuff out I didn't even hear about! While exciting, I can't honestly s... | [

This isn't your boy's club sci-fi. This isn't tech-heavy mumbo-jumbo you need Google and a set of blueprints to understand. This isn't grimdark or ultra-violent or edgy or brutal. It is intelligent, philosophical, carefully-rendered, entertainin... | [

There's a certain unsettling feeling I get in the pit of my stomach after I finish a really, really good book or series. Sure, part of it might be the simple feeling of sadness that I'm leaving behind great characters, but when it comes to LGBT fiction, it's something more. We all crave happy endings for the characters... | [

I liked this book better than the previous N.R. Walker book I read (Spencer Cohen, Book One). It had a more satisfying romantic climax, a better sense of humor, and more three-dimensional minor characters. However, a lot of things I disliked about Walker's other stories came out in this one, too. It was repetitive at t... | [

I was really excited to read this book, but I didn't like it as much as I expected to.
It feels a little like betrayal to say negative things about Fisher right now. I'm a big fan of hers and I think she was one of the most clever, innovative users of social media to date. However, I seem to laugh hardest at her humo... | [

In a continuation of my usual habits, I waited a week or so after finishing this one to write a review. It's not laziness exactly, or is it the need to let the text simmer a bit before I write down my thoughts. It's more due to the fact that after I finish a really good series like this, I almost get sad, knowing that ... | [

This book is fast. The pacing, the story, the drama, the interactions between characters--everything flies up and off the page, making your heart pound, making you want to read impossibly faster. It's excellent and exhilarating and quite possibly the best book I've read in 2016.

In my review for the previous book in the series, The Dream Thieves, I said that I liked the fast-paced plot. Everything seemed to race off the page, but instead of flying over my head, it just kept me breathless from beginning to end. In this book, the pacing is similar, but I didn't retain quite as much of it. For th... | [

This book heads in the direction that I've been longing YA to go in for the longest time. It shows that the genre is willing to take more and more risks as it develops. It is a violent, difficult, sad novel about high school, rape culture, and what it means to be a "good" girl, turning so much of the whipped-cream swee... | [

It took me a while to finish this series, but in the end, I was really happy with it. Lucien is a really fun character to follow around for three books--he's so perfectly flippant and exhausted and sick of your shit all the time, and Stephen is an excellent match for him. This is a series couple I felt had a really, ta... | [

This book seemed to pop up out of nowhere. I constantly mistook it for one of those "Raven Boys" books that I see all over Tumblr (all of which I have on my to-read shelf) due to the whole homoromantic male BFF themes with a lot of angst and smoking and casual violence. I decided to give the series a try.
Well, this ... | [

I've read many K.J. Charles books and I've enjoyed each one.

What a fun, sweet, gorgeous reimagining of the classic cartoon!

If I recall correctly, it took me forever to read this one because I just felt like the two main love interests couldn't stand each other. They reminded me of David and Keith in the later seasons of Six Feet Under...you want to root for them, but not if they're so miserable all the time.
Great writing, still. Will de... | [

The sheer number of times Leo (the dom) refers to Alex (the sub) as "boy" made me want to give this book one star. Any number of idioms ran through my head as I struggled to finish this book (if a dom calls his sub 'boy' and there's no one around to hear it, is the protagonist still as bland as oatmeal?), but I'm espec... | [

It is not secret that Roux's Cut & Run/Sidewinder books are my favorite gay romance series. They're intense, well-written, unbelievably erotic, and instantly memorable. It has been well over a year since I've revisited these guys, but the characters came back to me right from the first page (the plot, less so, but luck... | [

The dialogue between Bethia (the bright daughter of a Calvinist minister in Puritan-era Martha's Vineyard) and Caleb (a young Wampanoag man whose education in Cambridge pulls him away from his culture) ... | [

I think I'm starting to realize that I like romances that include parent-child relationships, but I don't care for romances that are about parent-child relationships. This is definitely a book that let the actual "romance" take a back seat to the "suddenly acquired child," and it just wasn't my sort of book.

As one of the first non-series YA books I've read in a while, this book reminded me why I gave up the genre during college. It was a good idea, and one that should've worked--we get the alternating perspectives of four different students during a 54-minute school shooting and we find out how all of them are connected t... | [

This is one of those books that you know is good--good characters, good story, good writing--but it feels almost too real. Uncomfortably so. Claustrophobic, almost. Because it holds up a mirror to those invisible illnesses that many of us have never seen in the light--even if we have them.

I really don't understand the hate this book seems to get here on GoodReads! Sure, it's a little fluffier than the previous sandbag, Touch & Geaux, and the plot is a little zanier (pun intended), and there's a lot more focus on Nick and Kelly than expected, but to me, this was the perfect mix of sweetness and action-pa... | [

Roux has a knack for rich characters and slow, careful romances, but I always thought her settings could be better, even in the fantastic (co-authored) Cut & Run series. Despite being on the road in the American West with a couple of grumbling lawmen and their dirty outlaws, I never felt like I landed in a certain time... | [

Stars & Stripes feels like a deep breath of fresh air after the intensity, drama, and violence of Armed & Dangerous, focusing more on the relationships between Zane and his family, much like how Sticks & Ston... | [

Wow, this was way shorter than I thought it would be! I was expecting a full book but it is more like a novella, and it only took me a couple hours to read. I also got the story "Bait & Switch" on my Kindle copy as well, balancing the slow-burn of Kelly and Nick's relationship with the heat of their short reunion.

If there's one celebrity who I could pick who everyone likes at least a little bit, it would be Amy Poehler. She's funny, smart, down to earth, and takes no shit. She's a comedian, actress, and performer. She's part of one of the most popular comedy duo-friendships of all time. And, as we discover from Yes Please, she'... | [

This was one baffling story filled with baffling choices on the author's part. It didn't really start or end strong, the characters were just on the brink of being compelling, and if you put a gun to my head, I still couldn't tell you what the hell was going on with the plot.

I had a lot of issues with this one. While it was capably-written, had a compelling main character, and kept the action coming, I thought the plot was severely muddied and some of Jae's characterization exoticized him a bit.
For the first few pages, this feels like a very run-of-the-mill M/M romantic mystery. Cole is... | [

I've long gotten weary of the type of fantasy stories with characters who live for hundreds of years and cause trouble along the way, but I didn't get any of those cliches or tired tropes in Wild Seed. After a long break from fantasy-science-fiction, this book was a refreshing return, and I can't wait to read the rest ... | [

Though it is one of my favorite sub-genres, LGBT historical fiction is hard to perfect.

In the other hand, historical settings make for perfect romances, no matter what the characters' pref... | [

I won't write an extensive review for this book because I'm pretty much the last person in the world to read it and you don't need my opinion on it, but I must say that it really had me from the first page--I had no idea where the hell the story was going, and I was damn shocked at at least three parts along the way.

I've always thought Malinda Lo was a little too hyped as a YA author.

Her two fairy tale re-tellings, Ash and Huntress, were decently-craft... | [

There were some great ones in this book ("Butterflies," "Homeade," "Last Day of Summer," and "Conversation with a Cupboard Man" being my favorites), and as a set, I enjoyed them.

Yeah, I loved this book. I have little to say and little to review because I swept through it so fast--it's a romance novel through-and-through, one that is sensual and slow-burning and rife with romantic tension between the two leads. It didn't read quite as well as the Cut & Run books, but I feel that it's on a whole... | [

I've read Megan Abbott before, but I've never read this Megan Abbott. Her excellent book Die a Little was similar in tone but the plot itself was much less memorable. Her modern classic Dare Me is a masterpiece of a completely different genre. But this book, based off a previous short story of Abbott's, is ideal in len... | [

Well, what can be said about Eleanor & Park that hasn't already been said? I love it. This novel, quite simply, is just a good story. The characters are multi-dimenstional, interesting, and sympathetic, the storyline keeps us interested, and even the dozens of pages that include nothing but teenage musings and stumblin... | [

This is a good book and I'm glad it was written, but it didn't leave me feeling any more optimistic or go-getting than I felt before I read it. In fact, it just made me feel more pressured...no matter how many times Sandberg says women "can't have it all" and we should avoid that saying in the first place, she sort of ... | [

After reading 50 pages of Little Bee, I thought for sure I'd be giving it 5 stars. The language of this novel is beautiful; I love the syntax, the metaphors, the descriptions, the characterizations. On a technical level, this is a simply amazing novel. But about halfway through the book, I felt like the plot fizzled a ... | [

It has everything I love about a good paranormal romance--a mystery, a weird little town, a great historical atmosphere, and a charming romantic pairing.

I've always meant to read this one, but it was never a story I was particularly excited about. Victorian romance is so subtle and chaste in general, so I figured a Victoria lesbian romance would deal in shades of grey, with a lot of friendly kisses and cuddles and declarations of gal-pal love. I also knew that it would... | [

So, in addition to being incredibly ho-hum, this short story also has the worst Kindle cover I've seen in a long time. It looks like they used a stock photo from a 90's Gap advertisement. We don't expect much, but c'mon.
