Here are Alicia Gael’s top sapphic reads of 2023:
1. The Headmistress by Milena McKay
The prose is so well written and the story so compelling, and then there’s the sex scenes…
2. Secrets Well Kept by Lynn Ames
It’s such a compelling story and the characters are so well drawn you’ll think they are real.
3. Steadying the Ark by Rebecca K. Jones
This debut novel and it’s follow up are so well written it’s hard to believe the author is new to writing fiction. Great story and characters.
4. When Women Were Warriors Series by Catherine M. Wilson
My book club chose the first book in the series The Warriors Path and enjoyed it so much we read the 2nd and 3rd in the series, Journey of the Heart, and A Hero’s Tale the following month.
5. Out of the Ashes by Rita Potter
I love the romance/blend genre and Rita Potter is one of the best at it. The research is impeccable without becoming boring or an info dump. The story and romance are full of angst, regret and redemption. Even with all of their faults the main characters are people you want to root for.
