The Last of the Loudens by Robin Alexander, narrated by Lori Prince
Gaby's Review of The Last of the Loudens by Robin Alexander, narrated by Lori Prince
A hilarious and quirky romance Robin Alexander is the author of more than thirty Sapphic novels which are gradually being released on audio mostly narrated by Lori Prince. The Last of the Loudens was originally published in 2016. Taryn Louden has inherited her father’s family home which needs an urgent renovation. Vicky Andre is the sexy contractor in charge. Both women have very little in common…

Something’s Different by Quinn Ivins, narrated by Anastasia Watley
Gaby's review of Something’s Different by Quinn Ivins, narrated by Anastasia Watley
An original premise I liked this book’s premise of identical twins switching places in the workplace. As I love Quinn Ivins’s writing, I set aside everything to read this book. Even though I enjoyed it, it didn’t live up to my expectations. Caitlyn Taylor is an unemployed academic who comes home after finishing her PhD with no perspective of finding a job in her field any time soon. Her identical…

Hotshot by Clare Lydon
Gaby's Review of Hotshot by @ClareLydon
Another entertaining romance by Clare Lydon I’ve listened to Clare Lydon talking about this book in the podcast Lesbians Who Write which she co-hosts with TB Markinson. Since then, I was intrigued by this novel. Sports is one of the favourite tropes for Sapphic readers and with the Women’s Soccer (Football in the UK) World Cup 2023 approaching soon, what a better time than now to read a Sapphic…

Charm City by Monica Mccallan, narrated by Lori Prince
Gaby's review of Charm City by Monica Mccallan, narrated by Lori Prince
An entertaining and low-angst romance Monica McCallan’s stories are like warm hugs to the soul, they are normally low-angst, steamy, funny, and sweet, all in a well-written package. However, I have to admit that it took me ages to engage with Charm City as I couldn’t connect with one of the mains. So much so that I left it for a while and then picked it up again a few weeks later. I’m happy that…

Future Wife by Nicole Pyland, narrated by Blair Baker
Gaby's Review of Future Wife by Nicole Pyland, narrated by Blair Baker
An entertaining time travel romance I haven’t read much by Nicole Pyland, not sure why, but she’s an established Sapphic fiction author and I liked the little I read. I’m not a fan of time travel stories but I really enjoyed One Day You’ll Leave Me by Debra Flores so I had high expectations for this one too. Ryder has been working on a time travel machine for all her life, inspired by her…

The Loudest Silence by Olivia Janae, narrated by Abby Craden
Gaby's Review if The Loudest Silence by Olivia Janae, narrated by Abby Craden
An opposites-attract romance featuring the world of music and deafness This story (as it happens with many books published by Ylva) was first conceived as fan fiction, more specifically, a Swan Queen alternative universe. Originally published in 2015, it’s been released as a book in 2022 and this year as an audiobook narrated by Abby Craden. Kate Flynn is a rising cellist playing at the Windy…

The Value of Sylver and Gold by Michelle Larkin
Gaby's Review of The Value of Sylver and Gold by Michelle Larkin
A great addition to this series This is book 2 of the Sylver and Gold series which should be read in chronological order. Even more, I recommend reading book two immediately after reading book one, Sylver and Gold. This is because the main characters’ relationship arc, along with their professional careers, relationships with colleagues, and family lives pick up where book one left and readers…

Not for a moment by Cheyenne Blue
Gaby's Review of Not for a moment by Cheyenne Blue
A good slow-burn fake relationship romance I like the way this author writes, my favourite book is Code of Conduct which I recommend if you like sports romances. I also like the fact that there are always Australian influences in her writing though not that much in this book. Sarah Santoro is divorced and fully devoted to her daughter Noa. When her former in-laws start a custody battle, Sarah…

Out on good behavior by Dahlia Adler, narrated by Samantha Summers
Gaby's Review of Out on good behavior by Dahlia Adler, narrated by Samantha Summers
An entertaining story with a very good narration This is the second book I read by this author, the first one was Home Field Advantage, a YA sports book. This novel is older (2016) but the audiobook version has just been released so I decided to give it a go. Out on Good Behavior is book 3 of the Radleigh University Series by this author, the previous two books are m/f romances so I haven’t read…

The Carlisle Series by Roslyn Sinclair, narrated by Abby Craden
Gaby's Review of The Carlisle Series by Roslyn Sinclair, narrated by Abby Craden
A great audiobook version for a fantastic series Unlike many other reviewers in our genre, I’m not a follower of fan fiction. But for as long as I’ve been reviewing Sapphic books I was told that I shouldn’t miss Telanu’s Truth and Measure. I admit that I was put off by 271,584 reasons, the number of words of just the first installment out of five in the Truth and Measure verse. But now that Ylva…

Off the Rails by Rachel Lacey
Gaby's Review of Off the Rails by Rachel Lacey @rachelslacey
A cute and steamy novella This is a very cute and short novella (86 pages) which is offered for free if you subscribe to Rachel Lacey’s newsletter. As with many of Lacey’s stories, it is low on angst and high on chemistry between the mains. Both main characters are lovely and relatable, perfect for each other and even though the story is short, there’s space for a very steamy scene. The author is…

Siren Queen by Nghi Vo
Jules's Review of Siren Queen by Nghi Vo
A fantastic book Siren Queen is an absolute ride of a book. I had to hold on tightly and there is not a single moment where I felt I could take respite. The main character is never named but rather steals her sister’s name, Luli Wei, when she breaks into the movie industry. With the silent stars of Nickelodeon actresses becoming her night and day, Luli walks onto a local movie set, willing…

She drives me crazy by Kelly Quindlen, narrated by Piper Goodeve
Gaby's Review of She drives me crazy by Kelly Quindlen, narrated by Piper Goodeve
An entertaining Young Adult Romance I’ve never read a book by this author, nor listened to anything narrated by Piper Goodeve but this story had great reviews so I decided to give it a try. I’m happy to say that it was a very enjoyable Young Adult romance. When Scottie Zajac and her high school nemesis Irene Abraham are involved in a car accident, they are forced to ride to school together.…

Unexpected by Jennie Frame, narrated by Nicola Victoria Vincent
Gaby's review of Unexpected by Jennie Frame, narrated by Nicola Victoria Vincent
A great performance by Nicola Victoria Vincent I’m trying to tackle my long TBR list and this book seemed the perfect choice to start. The fact that the audiobook version is narrated by Nicola Victoria Vincent, an outstanding British narrator, made it hard to resist. Business owner Dale McGuire’s life is upended when a 10-year-old boy appears on her doorstep claiming that he’s her biological son.…

Payback's a Witch by Lana Harper, narrated by Jeremy Carlisle Parker
Gaby's Review of Payback's a Witch by Lana Harper, narrated by Jeremy Carlisle Parker
A very enjoyable listen I needed a light audiobook to finish the year and I asked my friend Jude for an audio recommendation. I’ve seen this book some time ago but as I’m not a fan of the fantasy genre, I never checked it. I’m glad I did now because it was very entertaining. Emmy Harlow is a witch that left her magical hometown of Thistle Grove after a bad breakup with Gareth Blackmoore. Now…

Honey in the Marrow by Emily Waters
Gaby's Review of Honey in the Marrow by Emily Waters
A very good debut novel that will give you all the feels You won’t be surprised that what caught my attention about this book is its title… The romance genre is full of commonplace titles possibly to make clear the type of story to expect. It’s ok, I get that not all the books can be called The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo or The Lady’s Guide To Celestial Mechanics but it’s always exciting when…

When a chance encounter gets them together, Rachel is hopeless against Cate’s charm. But will Rachel be able to handle the reality of dating a superstar?
