V. Dalmatina writes sapphic romances where love is sacred — a gentle, healing force that endures beyond time, karma, and even death. After decades spent managing crews on mega-yachts, sailing between glittering ports while her own stories remained locked inside, she finally returned to her beloved Dalmatia. There, surrounded by the scent of pine and sea she knew from childhood, she unlocked ten years of silenced words. In her richly connected universe of sun-drenched islands, hand-drawn maps, ancient villages, past-life portals, and eternal soul recognition, women find each other again and again — across series, across lifetimes. Whether in tender contemporary healing stories, slow-burn vampire bonds, or karmic romances that span centuries, love here is always monogamous, tender, and redemptive. Healing is never a plot device. Healing is the entire story. Welcome to her world. Many readers say they never want to leave. #HolyLove #KarmicRomance #SapphicHEA #HealingWLW
Heart of Love is an incredible story about resilience and trust between 2 women who feel broken in different yet intertwined ways. The wide array of intense and at times very painfully displayed and navigated emotions make this a rollercoaster of epic Sapphic connection. As with other books in this series, one of the most striking things for me was the open and often frank discussions regarding intimacy. Thus far in the series each couple has had their own history to navigate, making each book unique. I am in a place personally where the emotion and relationship journeys that bring the MCs together speaks to me loudly in a very validating measure. I really loved the relatable characters. This book at this moment was such an unexpected gift. It’s one more reason I have become such a quick fan of V. Dalmatina. There is not a negative piece to say about this book. If you’re afraid to cry before you smile and LOL read one of her other books. Tears flowed with this one for a bit. I am grateful I was given the opportunity to read and share this review after receiving an ARC from the author.
I really enjoyed reading this slow burn romance, the hope and healing in it were very encouraging. Recovering from the death of a loved one can be so difficult, but it was handled well in this emotional romance. I am really enjoying all the books in this series.
This is an interesting story about Alana who lost her wife, Lada, in a car accident and hasn’t moved on with her grief still overwhelming her. Dona has been plagued in dreams and visions by Lada to go and help Alana so she too can move on. Dona has no idea who this Alana is until one day she sees her in a cemetery and her dog drags her over to say hello.
It’s a clever plot that’s well executed with other members of the extended witch family having important parts to play and information to deliver.
