Falling Gracefully by Cara Malone

GENRE: Contemporary Lesbian Romance(Some Sex)

This was a well written, quirky, sweet romance story. It dealt with finding yourself and overcoming obsticles. The characters were developed but not deep. I did enjoy the secondary characters and they added to the story. It is a nice, quick, enjoyable read.

Walkaway by Cory Doctorow

GENRE: Scince/Political Ficion, Dystopian

As usual Doctorow makes you think. This novel deals with a world where the division between the have and have nots has become insurmountable. It really had a very slow start though. The characters seemed whiney and aimless. The plot seemed to have little direction. This changed a little over halfway through the book when the pieces all began to fit togther. At this point the book began to become recognizable as a Doctorow book making political commentary and making the reader think. Best advice is do not give up on this book.

If She Only Knew by Jade Winters

GENRE: Contemporary Lesbian Romance, Short Story

For a short story this one really packed a punch. It had angst, humor, love, and was kinda hot. I plan to read more by Jade Winters after getting a taste test with this quick but very well developed read. Not easy to put that many complexities in 10,000 words. Kudos!

Alias by Cari Hunter

GENRE: Thriller, Mystery, Lesbian Romance

This was an incredible suspense/mystery with abit of sexual tension thrown in. The chemistry between the two main characters was really well developed as were the characters themselves. The complexity of their relationship had as many twists and turns as the plot. What makes a book great in this genre for me is not being able to predict what will happen and Hunter definately achieved that with this story.

Girl Games by Mia Archer

GENRE: YA Lesbian Romance

Archer does a great job of making being a nerd cool. She is a master of creating a sweet love story between girls you would think would be total social opposites. This book, like others I have read by Archer, is YA/teen friendly so it can be suggested to those young girls just coming out. In fact both main characters deal with questions about their sexuality throughout most of the book.

McCall by Patricia Evans Jordan

GENRE: Contemporary Lesbian Romance

The setting description in this book was amazing but it was the characters that really made this story.  The main characters of Sara and Sam were well developed and the secondary characters added life to the small community. The way the relationship developed had a good flow. I really look forward toreading more books by Patricia Evans Jordan.

Coming Around Again by Beth Burnett

GENRE: Lesbian Romance

Ever feel that your timing just sucks? That is one of the main themes of this book. You get to see the two main characters evolve over the course of their lives. Their lives and choices are what drive the plot very much like most of our own lives. I like how Burnett shows we all make mistakes but we can never lose hope.
