Who says romance is dead? The erotic stories of Best Lesbian Romance put a spin on the old "walk into the sunset" of lesbian love. In Lynne Jamneck's "Shooting Snow," set in Greenland, a photographer and the scientist who has brought her north gradually melt the glacier between them. Annika Jones's "Catching a Dreamer" follows a woman as she lures her lover into an erotic interlude with a pathway of words on paper. In Lisa Figueroa's "Under the Skin," a butch-femme couple on a tropical holiday discover the difference between new love and deep commitment. For nearly a lifetime, the heroine of Cheyenne Blue's "Glory B." yearns for the imaginary friend of her childhood, a corn-rowed, gap-toothed, black-skinned girl who tastes like guava. Will she conjure Glory B. at last?
2 stars. I didn’t care for this collection at all. Only stories that I liked were ‘Stepping Out’ by Cheyenne Blue and ‘Dreamtime’ by Fiona Zedde. Those were stands outs for me but everything else was a slog. My least favorite of these anthologies that I’ve read thus far.
So this was a rather cute collection of stories, some really gripping, but... most dragging on for ages.
If you binge read the stories in it, the switching between characters and viewpoints might get really confusing. I had to constantly look up the character and the story as not to mix it up with one prior to it.
Honestly, this just read like really fluffy fanfiction one-shots, and since the characters were all pretty bland, you can even insert your OTP over them!
I wasn't overly impressed, I could read this kind of stuff on FF.net, and even then it would be written better... So two stars it is.
