It’s time to crown this week’s Best of the Best Winners.

How do we decide on the sapphic books to include in these polls? We value reader input, so we ask them on Facebook and Patreon to nominate their favorites. We take those nominations to create a best of the best poll and put it to the readers for a vote.

Nominating and voting is a fantastic way to show your favorite authors some rainbow love.

We’re grateful to Shay Paris for sponsoring today’s post. Please check out The American Superstar Series.

Before we get to the Best of the Best Winners this week, it’s time for Guess the Author

Reality In Check

By Emily Banting

What price is an ice queen willing to pay to follow her true path in the world?

When You Least Expect It

By Haley Cass

Caroline Parker knows three things to be true.

First, she is going to be Boston’s most sought after divorce attorney by thirty-five. Second, given how terrible her romantic track record is, falling in love isn’t in the cards for her. And third, Christmas only brings her bad luck – being broken up with not once, not twice, but three times during the holidays is proof enough of that.

When she runs into Hannah Dalton on Christmas Eve, she has no reason to believe her luck will change. After all, though Hannah is probably the most gorgeous woman she’s ever seen, she’s also straight. And married to Caroline’s work rival.
