“Liv Braxton’s Felon Rule #1: Don’t get emotionally involved. Smash-and-grab thieving doesn’t lend itself to getting chummy with the victims, and Liv hasn’t met anyone on the mining colony of Nevarro worth knowing, anyway. So it’s easy to follow her Rules. Until her ex, Tonio, shows up with an invitation to join him on(…)

Dear Ms. Pacat, I thought about reviewing the two volumes of Captive Prince separately, but came to the conclusion that since they are two parts of the same story and absolutely must be read in order, this made no sense. I understand that there will be a third volume out in 2014, and I will(…)

Different for Girls (1996) Genre: Romantic dramedy Grade: B-/C+ Frankly, I’d forgotten I had this movie in my Netflix queue until I noticed that it was due to be taken off the streaming option. With a viewing deadline looming, I first pulled up the information to refresh my memory of why I’d decided to save(…)

“Abbey Brooks, Gila High freshman-to-be, never thought a hellish day of shopping at the mall with her best friend, Kate, could change her life. But when she orders French fries from the flirtatious Hot Dog on a Stick Chick, she gets more than deep-fried potatoes. Abbey tries to ignore the weird, happy feeling in her(…)

Dear Ms. Witt, You’ve been reviewed at DA a lot but never by me so when I saw you had a new book out, I grabbed the chance to check out your writing. DADT is history now so what else is there to keep two men in love apart when they’re both in the military?(…)

Shelter (2007) Genre: GLBT Romance Grade: B This movie had been mentioned so many times on other movie reviews here and at Netflix that I knew I needed to see it. I’m probably going to disappoint a lot of people with my grade but while I liked it, it ultimately comes across to me as(…)

Dear Ms. McCoy, I came to your novel “For Me and My Gal” in a roundabout way. Somehow I was on another website about LGBT books – sorry, I honestly don’t remember which one – and came across a year by year listing of books which had received awards. Happily I began to peruse recent(…)

I read a handful of m/m ARCs over the past month, with varying levels of success. I either DNF’d them or didn’t have enough to say to warrant a full-blown review, so I decided a lightning-review post fit the bill. In no particular order: But My Boyfriend Is by K.A. Mitchell Mitchell is an auto-buy,(…)

Dear Ms. Diaz, The blurb for this one just sounded like so much fun that I hurried to snatch it up from Netgalley. A superheroine with family issues – namely an ex who had turned evil – and who has to worry about childcare. These are certainly not our grandparents’ comic book heroes anymore! But(…)

Dear Mr. O’Neill, Recently I read a post on AOL about how The Abbey, twice voted the World’s Best Gay Bar, has decided not to host bachelorette parties anymore until marriage is legal for everyone. Gay owner David Cooley is quoted as saying he feels it’s a slap in the face to his regular patrons(…)

Dear Mr. Voinov, Your Dark Soul series has been a roller-coaster ride for me. It is not a genre romance, even though it has some very romantic moments. It features themes I rarely seek out, including menage, BDSM, and protagonists in organized crime. Purchasing all five volumes is not inexpensive. It is quite brutal in(…)

The Incredibly True Adventures of 2 Girls in Love (1995) Genre: YA GLBT Grade: C+ It’s hard to find good GLBT movies without some guidance as to what’s worth it and what’s dreck. As such, I often go with average ratings at sites like Netflix and IMDB. “2 Girls in Love” is a movie that(…)

Dear Ms. Masterson and Mr. Halpin: My interest in this book was piqued by an off hand remark but excited remark by The BookSmugglers. When it became available for review, I requested it. I’m a casual reader of Young Adult fiction books and my tastes run toward the YA romances more than issue books but(…)
