Pierced Pages: A Sapphic Romance
“Sometimes, the right person shows up quietly, turns your world upside down in the best way, and suddenly everything makes sense.”
Danielle’s life is all about stability—teaching English, raising her daughter, and keeping everything in order. But when she attends her friend’s recommitment ceremony and meets Morgan, a free-spirited piercer with a passion for spontaneity, everything starts to feel a little less predictable.
Morgan lives for the moment, rejecting anything that feels too structured or controlling—especially the expectations of her estranged, conservative politician mother. So when she invites Danielle to accompany her to her sister’s wedding as “friends,” she’s not expecting anything more than a little companionship.
As the wedding approaches, Danielle finds herself stepping out of her comfort zone, and Morgan begins to question if maybe it’s time to let someone in.
Pierced Pages follows the women of a sapphic book club in a heartwarming, opposites-attract romance that proves sometimes love doesn't follow a plan.

Danielle is a high school teacher, coping alone with her young teen daughter Lila, with occasional help from her work friends Melanie and Gerri.
Morgan is a piercer in a local tattoo shop, a lonely person except for her friend and colleague Jen, and her cat Reginald. Since an argument a few years before with her politically famous mom about her sexuality, Morgan has totally cut ties with her family, except for her cousin Kim. Now however, her older sister Felicia is getting married, and wants her there.
Morgan and Danielle meet at Kim and her wife Melanie’s recommitment ceremony, and Morgan eventually asks Danielle to be her date for her sister’s wedding. Morgan is up-front about this - one of the main reasons she wants Danielle there is to provoke her homophobic mom, seeing her with a female plus-one.
I felt this was a little anticlimactic. The story is good, the characters are wonderful, I especially liked Morgan, but it doesn’t really get deep enough. It seems reserved, not as good as I know the author can write. There is so much potential in the story but we never get the full emotions of any of the characters, and there are some large jumps in the narrative where I wished we could have seen more.
Overall, a cute, easy read story, but not deep or memorable.

Pierced Pages is a sweet sapphic romance and quick read. It is very low spice with just a few kissing scenes. I give it 3.5 stars but rounded up to 4 for the quality writing and it was nice to see a low to no spice romance.
Our main characters are a piercer named Morgan who is mostly estranged from her immediate family, and Danielle, a teacher who is a single mom to a 13 year old named Lila. They meet at a recommitment ceremony that Morgan’s cousin Kim is having with her partner Melanie. Danielle knows Melanie because they teach at the same school. At first Danielle and Morgan are adamant that they aren’t looking for anything more than friendship but there is just something that draws them to each other. Since Morgan finds herself really enjoying Danielle’s company she invites her to be her plus one to her sister’s wedding.
I did find it a little hard to believe Morgan would invite someone she just met to be her wedding date but her best and only friend Jen had to work that day. Jen is a tattoo artist at the shop where Morgan does piercing. Danielle seems to have a larger friend network with her coworkers. Her friends start a book club but it is not the main focus of the book. It is just a nice backdrop.
The drama near the end with the late third act breakup felt a little forced and unbelievable but I’m not a mom so maybe it was a normal reaction for Danielle to have. All in all this was a sweet and easy read. I’d use it as a pallet cleanser between heavier books.

Piercer Morgan meets Danielle at cousin Kim's renewal of vows, where she was sitting alone. Teacher Danielle knows the wife, Melanie, and they instantly click. They talk awhile, Dani curious about her piercings, and they exchange numbers.
Amusingly both their friends groups hear about it and start gently matchmaking.
Morgan gets a call from her estranged sister: Fiona, who wants her to go to her wedding. Which will inevitably bring her in contact with her disapproving Mom, a conservative Senator. While giving Danielle a piercing, she suggests they go together.
Danielle agrees, Morgan buys her a dress and they kiss going home. Oops. And again at the rehearsal dinner.
(I was wondering if the sister was trying to fix the family by bringing everyone together, but the mom seems awful.)
The wedding date goes well, but Dani's daughter Lila was hurt while they were out, and no one called Dani as they knew she'd rush home. Dani freaks, understandably.
Third act breakup.
Dani's friend Gerri points out it's less fear of Lila being hurt and more fear that her life is changing with Morgan there. Get back together, resolution.
3 stars. Its decent, didn't blow me away.

Strong introduction showing us the 2 friends who work together in the Piercing Place. Morgan is spontaneous and fancy free . Her estranged sister wants her to be bridesmaid but she is not speaking to their conservative politician mother.
Danielle is a single parent and teacher at the high school nearby. If she was ready to try something new she could get her ears pierced. Her teenager says to go for it. Of course its not really about the piercing, its the woman doing it.
Leigh Landry gives polished dialogue between Morgan and Danielle inviting her to her sister's wedding. Such a brave move but as friends of course. The 'friends' status is carefully driven.
Im so pleased Leigh writes mostly happy endings because I was gutted for a while. A great crush tale

Two women who have flawed reasons for keeping themselves out of the dating pool, plus an instant attraction, equals this lovely, anqsty gem. Pierced Pages has you always pulling for Danielle and Morgan as well as loving Lila and her encouragements along the way.
It's a sweet, cozy story about dealing with changing lives, growing up, reassessing your boundaries and found family vs blood. Leigh handles these topics very well and does so within the context of a very well crafted story.
