She thought she had it all. A beautiful wife. A curated life. A clean slate. But Sophia is unraveling behind the scenes—haunted by sleepless nights, unfinished wounds, and a marriage that feels more like a cage than a home. And then Blue shows up. Her college best friend. Her first real heartbreak. Butch. Brilliant. Dangerous in all the right ways. They haven’t seen each other in years. But the moment Sophia looks into her eyes, it’s all still there. The ache. The chemistry. The questions she never dared to ask. She’s still married. Blue doesn’t care. What begins as a reconnection spirals into something deeper—darker, hotter, riskier. A slow-burn emotional affair that cuts too close to the bone. And the truth is coming, whether she’s ready or not. Set against the sun-washed decay of Los Angeles, A Blue Kind of Love is a queer love story steeped in betrayal, obsession, and the electric pull of butch/femme desire. If you’ve ever had a love that almost destroyed you…
Wow! This is definitely not your typical sapphic romance. This is real and raw and heart wrenching. The author brings you in to a story with little insights into the mind’s eye of the characters as well as utilizing an amazing imagery that lets you see and feel the characters. Lotrian is able to wrap the reader into the story while they watch the characters love, hate, break and everything in between. This book is powerful. It’s not just another sapphic romance. It’s just as messy as real life can be, it can be spicy, it can bring tears to your eyes, it gives you that element of magic and mystery and romance all in one sweet package. The author’s awareness of the butch-femme dynamic is spot on and she nails it on both sides. I cannot recommend this book enough. So very worth the read. I binged it in one sitting and it was worth a nights rest to read it! Give it a try.
DNF. I'm not sure what to really say about this book. It's complicated to follow. It switches between "scenes" like every two pages. There were several editing mistakes and even entire paragraphs repeated in error. There's no way you can connect to the characters because the story is told in a way you'd expect from someone who has a lot of points to make but can't complete one before starting another. It's just not good.
