Sappho’s Sisters by Berengaria Brown
Purchase: Kindle | Nook
Genre: Lesbian Historical Erotica

My Thoughts:
This story wasn’t what I was hoping for when I purchased it. Thankfully, it was cheap, so I’m not too heartbroken over it. Live and learn, I always say. Well, I lived through this short story and here’s what I learned: Sappho’s Sisters’s is pretty boring fare. Two-dimensional characters, a too-simple angst-free plot, and a mechanical writing style really didn’t do anything for me except disappoint. I had trouble suspending disbelief that a young and sheltered regency miss would know so much about oral sex, fisting, etc. There was also a touch of OK Homo to it that didn’t sit well with me. I know it’s supposed to be an erotic fantasy, but too many things kept pulling me out of the story. In the end, I just didn’t find it very enjoyable or erotic.

Rating: ★★☆☆☆
