It's
funny isn't it, how there seems to be a lot more support for M/M
romance than there is for F/F romance?
That's
not to say that M/M romance doesn't deserve support (it totally
does!) but F/F romance shouldn't have to linger by the wayside.
Now,
I have a habit of reading... pretty much anything I can get my hands
on, which includes F/F romances, of course!
But
I also tend to go for cheap/on-offer, and free books where possible (I'm broke
dammit!) - so in this post, I review 3 short (novella/short story)
contemporary F/F books that I managed to snag as freebies. (Woo!)
All three of these books are classified as lesbian romances; there isn't an awful lot of non-lesbian F/F romance out there, which is another reason F/F romance needs more support!

Flashbang
Author:
Lee Winter
Verdict:
OK,
this one is 18+ only guys, on account of sexy-times.
This
is about two journalists at a glitzy Hollywood party.
To be honest,
there's not much plot – it's a short pre-sexy-times scene, followed
by a sexy-times scene.
But
it actually feels really... intimate, and lovely.
It's got real
heart, and it's a small snapshot of a relationship that clearly means
a lot to the characters involved.
Title:
The Morning After
Author:
Jae
Verdict:
This
is really sweet, fluffy, and enjoyable.
Kathryn
wakes up at a strange apartment, with a hangover, not remembering
much from the night before.
I
really loved the stomping all over stereotypes, and the realistic
characters, in this.
I also love the conversations between our main characters, lesbians Kathryn
and Michelle, and the whole sweet 'when you least expect it' vibe.
If
you're looking for something sweet (but not too
sweet,) light, and free of sex-scenes, I really
recommend this one. It's well written t'boot! :)
However, some people might find some of the language used in the opening
date scene ableist towards people with mental health problems.
('Psycho,' 'loony,' - that kind of thing.)
I
personally wasn't bothered, but I can see why it would bother a lot
of people.

The Sexy Librarian
Author:
Nicolette Dane
Verdict:
This
one is also 18+ on account of sexy-times.
This
was actually less trashy than the title would suggest (or than the
cover would suggest...)
There's actual plot here! (Which I know from M/F romance/erotica, isn't always the case!)
Don't get me wrong though – there was still
a lot of graphic sexy-times!
What
I loved about this one though (aside from the romance stuff) was the
real love for books and reading in general that shone through the
writing. That was awesome.
Not
so great was the occasional... odd verb choice... when it came to the
sex scenes. It wasn't terrible. It was just... a bit odd.
Perfect
indulgence reading though.
