Guilty pleasure-- lesbian novels I re-read
By an Amazon.com customer
Madam PresidentMadam President by Blayne Cooper
Buy used from: $32.96
Cooper is a relatively new discovery, and I am very impressed. I haven't been disappointed with any of Cooper's books-- co-written or otherwise
Heart's PassageHeart's Passage by Cate Swannell
Buy new: $14.00 / Used from: $6.45
Actually, the sequel, No Ocean Deep is my favorite... Very well plotted, interesting and strong characters, and a great location, my adopted home of Australia.
Into the DarkInto the Dark by Sharon Smith
Buy new: $15.80 / Used from: $3.86
Who is Sharon Smith, and why hasn't she written more books? This is an exremely hot, and well-crafted story.
The Light FantasticThe Light Fantastic by LA Tucker
Buy used from: $49.98
Okay, this is looong, but it also made me spew Diet Coke out of my nose-- it's very funny. The ancillary characters charm right along-side Sara and Clhoe.
The DealThe Deal by Maggie Ryan
Buy used from: $69.55
I have never, ever seen an episode of "Xena" and have to desire to do so. I enjoyed Ryan's two lovers, and the setting of television news and women's golf.
Infinite LoopInfinite Loop by Meghan O'Brien
Buy new: $12.89 / Used from: $7.37
I confess, I have read this book more than once, then loaned it to a woman I hoped to seduce. Hasn't happened yet... When the shy geek gets the girl, I just melt.
Fated LoveFated Love by Radclyffe
Buy new: $11.96 / Used from: $8.00
No list of faves would be complete without a book by Radclyffe. She is a consistent, and accomplished writer, and her books do not disappoint. Quinn and Honor are amazing characters.
Gulf BreezeGulf Breeze by Gerri Hill
Buy new: $10.04 / Used from: $6.00
I put this on my list because it is the first Gerri Hill novel I discovered. It's funny, sweet, and very horny. Hill's other novels are also worth checking out.
TouchwoodTouchwood by Karin Kallmaker
Buy used from: $3.89
Kallmaker is another writer who seldom disappoints. Touchwood has a special place in my heart, for its May-December theme. Not to mention the hot sex.
Life's Little EdgeLife's Little Edge by Roselle Graskey
Buy new: $13.59 / Used from: $11.99
Okay, the plot is over the top, but it's amazing fun.. Again, well written, well plotted and gives glimpses into the "dark" side of love.
Cemetery Murders: A MysteryCemetery Murders: A Mystery by Jean Marcy
Buy used from: $3.96
Dense plotting and characterization... why aren't there more Meg Darcy books?
Accidental LoveAccidental Love by B. L. Miller
Buy new: $18.50 / Used from: $9.51
It;'s sappy, it's over the top, and it's over-written, but I still adore it.
In Too DeepIn Too Deep by Ronica Black
Buy new: $10.85 / Used from: $5.43
along with Wild Abandon raise the bar for lesbian suspense. Hot, compassionate, and intricate plotting.
A Grave TalentA Grave Talent by Laurie R. King
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01
If there is such a thing as "mainstream" lesbian fiction, then King qualifies. Her Martinelli mysteries are intelligent, complex, and haunting.
Imperfect PastImperfect Past by Jessica Casavant
Buy used from: $20.00
One of my pet peeves is lists of books that are unavailable. That said, this series featuring a group of friends is a favorite
