A gritty urban fantasy about a lesbian romance between a girl and an elder god in human form. It can be quite dark (TW: Discussions of rape, pedophilia, and some fairly brutal violence) but it's balanced out by the fluff of the elder god not understanding how to interact with humans and falling in love with a girl. Like there will be a scene of the elder god taking apart a group of drug dealers, and then a scene of her trying hot chocolate for the first time and declaring it witchcraft. Another thing that help is that though are protag is a monster, she's a monster that hunts monsters and a protector of the innocent. She's brutal and overpowered but she uses her power to put down evil things. There's a supernatural hit out on the girl and the elder god takes and unbreakable vow to protect her, mostly because she's pretty and has a good smelling soul.

​

​

It's honestly one of my favourite books now. I love Ryn (the elder god) so much. She's powerful and old beyond human comprehension, but she's never dealt with people before and doesn't know how to do it. She's monstrous but adorable in a way. part of her want'd nothing to do with humans, but another part of her is lonely and just wants to be accepted, and she's worried that if she shows Naomi, her love interest, what she really is, she'll be rejected.

​

​

Naomi on the other hand, slowly falls in love with Ryn, but won't admit it to herself due to having a bad case of compulsory heterosexuality. She has her whole life planned out, and being gay wasn't on that plan.

About “Hooking Into Love”

Ex-biker-turned-businesswoman Stacey Waters moves back to Syracuse, New York, to mourn the loss of her wife. Grief and loneliness keeps her a solitary figure, and she likes it that way. There’s no room in her broken heart for anything else. Hooker Izzy Webster left New York City and most of her demons behind, but she still only knows one way to make a living. When she spots Stacey in a club one night, it seems she’s found her mark. But Stacey proves nicer—and their connection far deeper—than she’d bargained for. Their arrangement quickly becomes too complicated for Izzy, who has other things on her mind: namely her BFF and wayward roommate, Katz. Izzy owes Katz the world, and even as Katz’s drug addiction destroys all they have, Izzy won’t leave her behind. Besides, Stacey knows nothing of Izzy’s home life, too caught up in her own head to think much beyond the crazy heat she and Izzy share. But when trouble comes to Izzy’s door, putting her life in danger, Stacey must set her grief and anger aside to pick up the pieces of Izzy’s shattered heart and her own. .

One night she stumbles onto the private beach in a dream state. She doesn't know how she got there but is quickly in the company of the most striking man that she has ever seen.

In the United States during the 1890s, Caleb Hannigan is an attractive young man with the reputation of a heartbreaker. He is always out and about in his western town with the intention of having a good time, no matter how reckless and sinful it is considered to be.

Jane hates it. Her little brother cannot be living life like this forever. He shouldn’t be living life like this, at all.

Determined to make sure Caleb straightens up and becomes respectable, Jane interviews several women who have the potential to be a good wife to Caleb. If anyone can get Jane’s brother to settle down, it would be a beautiful woman.

However, Jane’s plans get skewed when she meets one of these women’s older brother, Joe Merriweather. He is handsome and kind, and Jane finds herself falling for him fast…a man who is rather protective of his sister and rather hateful toward Caleb.

Heather is a lonely 30-something woman, stuck in the monotony of a single status and having to watch her best friend, Tracy, live the dream just next door. She cannot help but feel like she is missing out by watching her best friend go about her daily life with her handsome husband and beautiful life.

When she meets Tracy's college-student son, back from his studies, she cannot help but find an attraction. He's gorgeous and seems to think the same about her. When Jesse's parents leave on a vacation, days after him getting back from college, Heather is in charge of watching over the house and keeping Jesse company. Keeping things friendly with Jesse may be too much to ask and taboo desires are the hardest to ignore.

Claire may not know anything about baking, but she does know how to keep her cool when confronted with the harsh realities of customer service. It’s only around Annabelle that her confidence becomes unsure, and as the two work together they both realize that they’re each other’s rock in the storm.

Valorie doesn’t think much of the freshman, Kat Shnover, when she first arrives to their dorm room. Kat is a quiet thing covered in dark clothing while Valorie Heyward is a junior student who is outgoing and a fun-loving writer. She is a generally bright person who is happy with her life while Kat is…Kat is hard to read, most days.

But after Valorie and Kat spend some time together, the mousy freshman has Valorie questioning herself—her confidence, her identity, and even her dreams. Is she as great a writer as she always thought? Does she prefer dating men or…or women? Valorie had never been so insecure until Kat entered her life, but Kat—beneath the dark layers of clothing and the stoic silence—is one of the sweetest people Valorie has ever known. She has a magnificent talent for art, and she has a surprising amount of bravery when it comes to being sincere.

Can two very different people find love together? Or will their differences ultimately drive them apart?

Im not a lesbian. I'm not a woman, in 2003 or so I was going through a tough time. I was about to go through a transitional period of life, and I randomly picked up a book and began to read. The book was about a group of lesbians who worked in industrial plants, or mining jobs, and they would hang out at bars. I learned about femmes, bull dykes, and the culture of what i think was late industrial revolution lesbian blue collar workers. I am interested in reading it again. I can't think of more information.

Oh. My. God. Never have I been so enthralled by an author. For that matter, I've also never found such good lesbian fiction. 'The Paying Guests' is the newest and the first of hers I've read so I would definitely say it's worth a read. 'Affinity' was the second I read and somewhat less satisfying but still a good read. I'm moving backwards in time and just started 'Tipping The Velvet' and needed to post about it because I am absolutely in LOVE. It's an older one, one of her first, but if you're looking for a great novel it's so worth it!

Free Access to "Kissed by Her First Lesbian" [One of my most recent Lesbian Romance Short Stories], from 09/22 - 09/26.

The story is about a young woman, who's hard up for intimacy. In an effort to break out of her isolation, she masturbates in the public library. Turns out she was discovered by exactly the right person.

I really wish some other writer would post here but oh well. I'm not going to NOT take advantage of being able to post here.

For the next few days, A Slice of Quietude is free on Kindle.

Here's the blurb:

The Quietude, a psychic realm accessible by only a select few, is Kat’s secret for improving her deadly focus. It’s how she became a high level Midnight Slicer, an elite assassin. But when she meets Tristien Waef inside the Quietude, Kat knows she’s outmatched. Tristien, scarred from head to toe both physically and emotionally, displays unheard-of abilities inside the Quietude! In a rare move, Kat throws caution to the wind, and joins Tristien and her two friends: the battle-hardened Cela and the almost-famous bard Kinjara, in their travels. But will the Midnight Slicers allow Kat to shift allegiances? And can a budding relationship with Kat get Tristien to move beyond her traumatic past?

"Hey! This book ain't about just that! That part's only got you two." interrupts Cela. "It's about fightin’, drinkin' and carousin'. You know, slicin'!” With one arm, the tall warrior slashes her two-handed sword through the air.

Tristien sniffs, "Fighting and drinking isn't going to sell the book. The more unique aspects will."

"Presentation factors as well," says Kinjara, bowing. “The honor should thus drape across the bard’s shoulders." Clearing her throat, she stands up, “Love and redemption, thrills with chills, devious deities along with myths of yore and lore, build foundations upon which 'A Slice of Quietude' rises..."

Kat never looks up from sharpening her daggers.

Here's a blog post that announces the winners: https://marygriggs.wordpress.com/2015/07/26/2015-goldie-award-winners/

Let's breathe some life into this subreddit. How about suggestions on some good reads from fiction to non-fiction, from erotic to mysteries to romances to fantasy. Also list your reason so we know why we should read your suggestion.

I'll start by suggesting Mothering the Movement by Sushawn Robb. It's non-fiction about the Women's Building in San Francisco. In the 70's major cities all over the US had Women's Buildings, centers where women of all races, classes, sexuality could gather resources and find like-minded individuals. In the 80's almost all of them disappeared but in SF, the board of directors decided to pool resources and purchase their building. This is the story of that journey, told with poignancy and funny anecdotes.

Hey! I thought I'd share a gem I found on Tumblr - Queer Book Club

Great lists, which include books about people of color, trans people and asexuals amongst everybody else. Enjoy!

I love a good YA book--as far as fiction goes, it definitely is where I'm drawn to first. But as a 25-year old, I would love to read a book where an adult character is lesbian...Most of what I find is erotica, but I'm really looking for real, grown-up fiction, with plot and setting and everything else. I read anything from JoJo Moyes to Ian McEwan to Colm Toibin to Tawni Odell, so quite the gamut...

I just finished reading this today. It was really good. I had read a few other things by A.S. King, and picked it up for that--I had no idea that it would be a coming out story!

I recently finished it...it was interesting to say the least, a good read especially given the time it was set/written

though one thing that stuck in my mind was the main character didn't seem to have the highest opinion of "butches" and even used the "why not just date a man" thing

of coarse I can understand the characters dislike of the idea of fitting into a "role" and everyone has preferences....also just because a character expresses certain sentiments does not mean the work/author itself believes that , still that kinda stuck out to me
