I had the honor of reviewing your book through TwoLips reviews. It truly was an honor. The story was beautifully written and only a women can write such beautiful prose.

keep up the good work.

And in that, I think, f/f is not so different from m/m. The big difference is there’s a much smaller pool of books to choose from, and therefore fewer good ones floating around in it.

The way to get more quality f/f written is to demand it–that is, give both positive and negative reviews when they are deserved, and bring some exposure to the genre. I know I would read more of it (and f/f/m), if I could only find it. I can’t possibly be the only one.

Now all we need is for DA to review a f/f/m menage…

Such a review probably won’t come from me since menage books do nothing for me.

I like reading f/f and since there is a serious lack of it and even worse, of good quality

I read lots of f/f and most of it is like this book in story telling quality

Oh dear. Those two comments aren’t promising.

That said, you did an excellent review of this book. I haven’t read it, and probably won’t because I read lots of f/f and most of it is like this book in story telling quality, so I don’t need to read it. But you clearly pointed out the flaws in this story, which look valid to me, and didn’t just dismiss it because of the f/f aspect. I thank you for that even though unfortunately the first f/f reviewed here turned out to be a lemon.

There are some very good quality f/f book out there, but it’s rare. I do hope that you continue to review more f/f in the future.

Thank you!

I also hate the trope of bad white people/good saintly Native American people in historical romances featuring Native Americans. I know historically, horrible things were done to the Native Americans by the ‘white man’ but they weren’t innocent of crimes against white people either and they weren’t all saints, just as all white people back then weren’t all evil, even if many of them were socially taught to be racist. To me, a good story has to have some truth or heart to it, and if an author paints everything in black and white or uses cardboard cut-out archetypes, it’s very hard to keep me interested as a reader or invest anything in the characters.

And I hate, hate, hate deus ex machina! Except it would have been nice in Brokeback Mountain if Jack had faked his death in the end and gone to live up in the woods on Brokeback Mountain and then let Ennis know so that he could pretend to turn into a crazy hermit and go live up there with Jack. That would have been fine, Ang Lee. :D
