Customer Review:
This is not your mother's library! It's the library where I wish I'd spent all my youth though. Imagine going to the library and there at the desk is this cute, sweet, honest, knowledgeable, kind, OUT LESBIAN there to answer your every question. I would have asked *this* Marian the Librarian where... more info

4. Painted Moon Painted Moon
from Bella books
Price: $10.36

Customer Review:
This book was recommended as "comparing favorably with Katherine Forrest's 'Curious Wine'". I would disagree; the writing does not compare. These characters are not well-developed and some are not even believable. I suppose if the reader is very young or naive she might enjoy this story. I stuck it... more info

5. Making Up for Lost Time Making Up for Lost Time
from Bella books
Price: $9.71

Customer Review:
If ever a book was meant to be read on a beach, this one is it. It's really witty, romantic, and diverting. Just what a vacation needs. Warning to all readers on a diet, though -- when Jamie starts talking about all the chocolate she needs to mask her feelings for Val, you'll find yourself getting... more info

6. Embrace in Motion Embrace in Motion
from Bella books
Price: $9.71

Customer Review:
Like many heroines in the early pages of a lesbian romance, Sarah takes one look at Melissa and falls into a state of red-hot lust. Chapter 1 of this book is steamy stuff!

A short time later, Sarah and Melissa are settling in together to start a new life. Most writers might have tossed in some... more info

Customer Review:
Grab the tissues and settle down for an intense journey with Sabrina Starling. Karin Kallmaker has truly outdone her own previous work with the portrait of a woman driven by talent and frustrated love to conquer her profession while making a hash of her personal life.

This is an erotic, moving... more info

8. In Every Port In Every Port
from Bella books
Price: $10.36

Customer Review:
Some books set in the past read like history lessons and are just about as dry and dull, too. But not this one. Instead of lots of emphasis on events and who did what, this novel is like a history lesson in the emotions of a burgeoning lesbian-feminist. I take for granted a lot not just how far... more info

9. Wild Things Wild Things
from Bella Books
Price: $9.71

Customer Review:
I HAVE READ ABOUT 6 OR 8 LESBIAN ROMANCE NOVELS SO FAR. I DON'T CONSIDER MYSELF AN EXPERT. BUT I DO READ ALOT IN ADDITION TO LESBIAN ROMANCE. I FOUND I KEPT WAITING FOR MORE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHARACTERS. THEY HARDLY GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER AND IT WASN'T A SMOOTH TRANSITION FROM ONE CHARACTER TO... more info

10. Touchwood Touchwood
from Bella books
Price: $9.71

Customer Review:
I read Touchwood and Watermark in reverse order. Watermark, Kallmaker's ninth novel, is writing of a very high level and it is really interesting to see the seeds of Kallmaker's talent in Touchwood, which I believe is her second book.

Touchwood is far more romance novel than Watermark, but it is... more info

from Bella books

Customer Review:
This book was exactly what I needed when I read it. Coping with the loss of someone very close to me was wearing me down and a friend gave this book to me to read. I am a big romance reader, but did not get this one (by one of my favorite writers) because I thought it would be depressing. I could... more info

12. Unforgettable Unforgettable
from Bella books
Price: $9.71

Customer Review:
I wanted this book BAD. And when it finally arrived it was everything I hoped for. Truly satisfying in every aspect. I want to buy Rett Jamison CDs now! Music, show biz and the high school reunion from hell all came alive. The characterizations are so skilled for a romance novel.

I didn't start... more info

from Bella books
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
I bought this book because I really like two of the writers but the other two I'd never read. I figured I was sure to like half, and I'd also really liked "Back to Basics" from publisher Bella Afterdark.

I didn't know what to expect and was really quite surprised -- pleasantly so. The erotica was... more info

14. Seeds of Fire Seeds of Fire
from Bella books
Price: $12.95

Customer Review:
I don't know what book the reader from Wilmington, De., was reading, but it doesn't sound like the same book that I read! Seeds of Fire is a fast moving, engrossing story that goes places I would never have expected to be taken. It's peopled with three dimensional characters -- intelligent women... more info

Customer Review:
At long last, I finally read Kallmaker's critically acclaimed book, SUBSTITUTE FOR LOVE, and believe me, it was time well spent. This book is noteworthy and remarkable, and it very much deserved the Lammy nomination it got.

SFL is a well-plotted, intelligent, and nuanced book made all the... more info

16. Night Vision Night Vision
from Naiad Pr

Customer Review:
There's no sub-text here! No coy looks or cuddles -- this story is about LESBIANS. It's a great story, too. I really liked Maddy's character. She's very real and funny. All these unbelievable things start happening to her and she really doesn't believe them until she has proof. It's way better than... more info

from Bella books
Price: $8.96

Customer Review:
This is a yummy collection of short stories based on all of Karin Kallmaker's books. Each story is like dropping by to see what your friends have been up to. On two occassions, Kallmaker takes the opportunity to develop the story around relatively minor characters from "Unforgetable," and... more info

from Naiad Pr

Customer Review:
"There is no United Federation of Planets. There are no Vulcans." This is one of my favorite lines from this book. The aliens are coming, and some of them are Not Nice. Sharon, a visitor from a female-only species planet called Pallas, tries to tell Amanda this bitter truth. Sharon herself makes... more info

Customer Review:
Someone once commented that you don't have to be a house to be haunted. You're not likely to meet a more haunted character in lesbian fiction than Autumn Bradley. When you first meet her, Autumn is struggling through life with little memory of her past. She makes ends meet as a magician in a small... more info

from Naiad Press

Customer Review:
I recently read Karin's "Frosting on the Cake" and loved every bit. When readingit I realized I had never read this early book of hers.

Not only was it just as funny and about as lighthearted as any book of hers, it really had some beautiful musical prose. Like the short story in Frosting, this... more info

Kudos to Ms. Kallmaker for writing an intelligent and moving lesbian romance. She tells the story of two women deeply in love who must defeat an age-old evil to secure freedom and happiness.
