Review: An Introduction to Sappho

An Introduction to Sappho by Xavier Edwards

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sweet, quickie story about best friends exploring each other sexually. One girl is a lesbian and experienced in the ways of pleasing a woman and the other is straight, but obviously curios about experiencing the pleasures of being with another woman. I am not typically into reads that only contain f/f interaction, but this one was great!

Color Her Red

by Crystal L. Shaw

Beautifully Damaged

by L.A. Fiore

AYE YA YAI! My head is swimming! What on earth did this story turn in to? BEAUTIFULLY DAMAGED started out strong – strong heroine, strong hero and a strong plot – I was hooked until about 85% and then the debauchery, twists and uncove...

The Submission of Alistair Ingram

by Kelli Maine

Meh... this one was just o-k for me. I was really enjoying the idea of the story, because I love it when famous people take a liking to a non-famous person, but this one needed a little bit more character and plot development in my opin...

In the Service of Women

The Love of My (Other) Life

by Traci L. Slatton

Love Revealed

by Sorcha Mowbray

Insatiable

by Meg Cabot

I enjoy Meg Cabot and I've read a lot of her work - so I wasn't expecting some deep, brooding vampire love story when I picked this up. But for me, this went too far in the realm of unbelievable and annoying characters - to the point th...

Evernight

This was just ok - I found myself skimming some paragraphs because it felt like there was a lot of filler. It was just good enough to keep me reading, but not much more. Ironically when I finished the book I found myself considering re...

The Boy Who Sneaks in my Bedroom Window

by Kirsty Moseley

The Vincent Brothers

by Abbi Glines

Lock and Key

Where She Went

by Gayle Forman

All The Wrong Reasons

by J.L. Paul
