When faced with a book this bad, the hard part becomes deciding which of its enumerable faults not to share, purely for length. As such I apologize if this review seems to drag, and plead only that this would accurately convey the experience of trying to read this. After being introduced through their membership in ...

I was told this book was going to be bonkers. It is, but in an entirely good way. Usually being written like a fanfic would be a bad thing, but this is a wildly unselfconscious crack-fic, the sort of thing you read while cackling with surprised delight. An absolutely unhinged and violent female lead spends ... Read more
It s a terrible pity a book that goes so rough on the male lead (with numerous scenes of torment and bondage!) absolutely fails to be able to imagine a world where the female lead doesn t need to be humbled and submit. This is a problem in a lot of ostensible femdom romances, creating a big ... Read more
This one is a technically well constructed partial trope reversal of the “Mars Needs Women” concept. It wasn t exactly to my personal tastes as far as the dynamic between the leads, but there is an enjoyable inventiveness. While it has its problems, the flaws are really more of a symptom of the trope the story ... Read more
I feel like this book’s curse is that it is trying to be Romantasy when it really isn t. It’s an epilogue for the villain, after a trilogy that followed the main couple and an additional book for another side character pair. But, as other reviewers have noted, it’s extremely underbaked as far as creating much ... Read more
This one was an outside recommendation, initially seeming like another version of the big warrior woman (Una) paired with a squishy male scholar (Owen) trope. That s practically old hat by now, at least in indie works, but it makes sense this had now proven bankable enough to get a foot in the trad published door. ... Read more
This one is another favourite, an 100% for dommes F/m delight about a gruff space admiral (Kira) and the ruggedly handsome slave (Mak) she rescues and then comes to love and appreciate. I think what I enjoy most about this book is that it s not only completely focused on wish fulfillment, and not afraid to ... Read more
What in heaven’s name did I just read? This is a gothic lesbian sex farce. In the large part it is amusing, but brute force style, and full of awkward inconsistencies amidst the self indulgence. I would best describe it as having class clown energy, cracking jokes at any cost to itself. When it is ... Read more
After deciding that my original pick for this week was so terribly bad that reviewing it would be a simple unkindness to myself as much as the author, my plea for some more sapphic or queer suggestions turned up a much better replacement, Kiss of Seduction, as well as a few other books I can ...

This is book 4 in a series (Salcious Players Club), a contemporary age gap romance about an F/m relationship between a 34 year old and the 22 year old son of her business partner. Despite the relationship being a bad idea for numerous reasons even outside of a 12 year age difference, Maggie and Beau ... Read more
