Here is the list of Jae’s five favorite lesbian romance books…of All Time:
1. Lesbian Romance: Ask, Tell by E.J. Noyes
Captain Sabine Fleischer is a U.S. Army surgeon deployed to a combat hospital in Afghanistan. She’s intimately familiar with the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT) policy. So, when Sabine meets Colonel Rebecca Keane, an enigmatic career officer, she knows nothing can happen between them, especially because of that ring Rebecca wears. So why does it feel like it’s meant to be?
2. Lesbian Romance: And Playing the Role of Herself by K.E. Lane
Actress Caidence Harris has finally made it! The star of a hot new police drama, she’s Hollywood’s “it” girl. She won’t let her attraction to costar, Robyn Ward get in the way of her dreams. Especially since Robyn seems entirely unattainable. But, what if all is not as it seems? Is Caid willing to risk her career and her heart?
3. Lesbian SciFi: Without a Front by Fletcher DeLancey
Raised in the halls of power and holding the highest title in the land, Lancer Andira Tal is used to being prejudged because of her rank. When she meets a woman who sees beyond it, she finds her own lifelong assumptions brought into question — at a time when high-stakes political maneuvering jeopardizes everything she holds dear.
4. Lesbian Romance: Jericho by Ann McMan
When librarian Syd Murphy flees her failed marriage to the small town of Jericho in the Appalachian Mountains, she expects quiet, solitude and the chance to get her life together.

She also manages to become fast friends with Maddie Stevenson, the enigmatic physician who has returned to the backcountry community to take over her late father’s medical practice. This is a soft, slow-moving romance that showcases the beauty of Virginia and of a newfound love.
5. Lesbian Historical Romance: Galveston 1900: Swept Away by Linda Crist

That’s it from Jae! Watch this space for the rest of our team’s favorite lesbian books!
Jae grew up amidst the vineyards of southern Germany. She spent her childhood with her nose buried in a book, earning her the nickname “professor.” The writing bug bit her at the age of eleven. Since 2006, she has been writing mostly in English.
She used to work as a psychologist but gave up her day job in December 2013 to become a full-time writer and a part-time editor. As far as she’s concerned, it’s the best job in the world.
When she’s not writing, she likes to spend her time reading, indulging her ice cream and office supply addictions, and watching way too many crime shows.
Thanks, I am going to read these books. I trust JAE as an author and feel good about her “reads” as well. Debby
Totally on the same page my top five will always depend on the day. That said, I’ve read and loved 4/5 and I am looking forward to reading Linda Crist’s novel. She’s “new to me” but I’ve been to Galveston and it will be very neat to read this fictional account of big one.

Dear Jae!
I have read almost all your books and was wondering why the ones that are e-books have never gone to books? Also, when will your next book come out!?!?! Thank you again! Love all your different characters! My partner loved your old west stories!
Hi, Keschia,
All of my novels are out as paperbacks too. The short stories are too short to print, but most of them are available as short story collections as a paperback. You can find all the links on my website:

Manhattan Moon, which is a novella, will be out as a paperback on July 15.
My next book, Wrong Number, Right Woman, will be out at the end of August through Ylva Publishing and at the beginning of September everywhere else.
