Despite period pieces being more expensive to produce (The outfits! The props! The research!) this curiosity of how people, particularly marginalized people, used to live, pervades the mainstream—seemingly more so than how people live and struggle now. D’Vaughn Miller is just trying to break out of her shell. She’s sort of neglected to come out to her mom for years, so a big splashy fake wedding is just the excuse she needs.

Erebuni helps Nar see the beauty of their shared culture and makes her feel understood in a way she never has before. But there’s one teeny problem: Nar’s not exactly out as bisexual.Darcy is tired of her brother trying to fix her up, so after a disastrous blind date with Elle, his coworker, she fibs and tells him that they were a match.

All they have to do is convince their friends and family they’re getting married in six weeks. If anyone guesses they’re not for real, they’re out. Cora Kempf Bristol, Duchess of Sundridge, is known for her ruthlessness in business. It’snot money she chases, but power. When she sees the opportunity to secure her position among her rivals, she does not hesitate. How difficult could it be to convince the mercurial Miss Caceres Galvan to part with a parcel of land she’s sworn never to sell? When their son, Lizzie’s best friend, James, begs her to be his plus one at his perfect sister Cara’s wedding, things go wrong immediately, and culminate in Lizzie giving a drunken pep talk to a hot stranger in the women’s bathroom—except that stranger is actually the bride-to-be, and Lizzie has accidentally convinced her to ditch her groom. It’s just this confusing thing that keeps happening. You know, from time to time. For basically their entire teenaged existence. Eden’s desperate for her star to shine bright again, but when her team suggests a collaboration with an up-and-coming young star to give her a boost, she balks.

‘Disobedience’

Anna’s tired of being defined by her bubbly persona. She wants to be taken seriously as an artist, and a duet with Eden could be just what she needs. When she meets twenty-eight-year-old A-list actress Valeria Sullivan around the office, Luna thinks she’s found her solution. She’ll use Valeria’s interest in her cinematography to get a PA job on the set of Valeria’s directorial debut—and if Valeria is as gay as Luna suspects, and she happens to be Luna’s route to losing her virginity, too . . . well, that’s just an added bonus. This lesbian romance book also features a reality TV show storyline and sounds too delicious to pass up.

Not to mention she really needs to focus her energy on escaping her emotionally-abusive-but-that’s-Hollywood talent manager boss and actually get working under a real director of photography anyway. When Erin Stewart hires a fake date for her parents’ anniversary party, she gets more than she bargained for.

But the scheming Van Dalen family won’t give up the company without a fight, and Gemma and Tansy’s newfound happiness might get caught in the fallout.

Her life is in New York, with her photography career finally gaining steam and her bed never empty. Sure, it’s a different woman every night, but that’s just fine with her. This book honestly had me at control freak. I cannot wait to see what Ari is all about and how she brings Nina out of her shell in this new lesbian romance for 2023. Lesbian romance books are finally really breaking out in popularity and gaining a huge following and I for one am all for it. To help you find your next great read, I’ve got the best and most popular lesbian romance books in the genre and I cannot wait for you to read them. Will Eddie be forced to choose between her friendship with Rose and her literary dreams––or will she be able to write her own happily ever after? There’s nothing wrong with a period piece. In fact, the more queer filmmakers can retell centuries of straight-washed history, the better. But we need more queer representation in all forms, for all eras. Without the balance of seeing, understanding, and just being entertained by the way women-loving women live today, in current times, an enormous cinematic gap must be filled. If not we risk perpetuating the idea that heterosexuality is superior, that queer stories aren't with telling, understanding, or feeling. We risk audiences never seeing or believing that love is universal.

I absolutely love books with characters who find love after an epic break-up that crushed their heart. I like seeing how they learn to trust again and it sounds like Ash doesn’t have a choice when it comes to Rose. year-old Phoebe is everything Grace isn’t—a gregarious jokester who plays with a joy that Grace lost somewhere along the way. The last thing Grace expects is to become teammates with benefits with this class clown she sees as her rival.
