Sorcha Rowan is a remarkable author, a woman of both sweetness and kinkiness, a veritable Mistress of fetish with as much a flair for romance as erotica. Her stories are more than just wonderful reads, they are gorgeous escapes into the realm of women who love other women.
Sisters (But Not Like That) is one of those stories that lands gently on the sweetly romantic end of the bookshelf. It is a period piece, set in the more innocent (and less progressive) era of the 1950s. Jessica and Bobby have been the best of friends since they were preschoolers, and while circumstances have prevented them from being more, Bobby has always dreamed.
The problem is, as much as Bobby loves her, Jessica is the daughter of a strictly religious family, and she has always had to play the good girl who only dates good boys. She has, however, been secretly been in love with Bobby for years, and when another date ends badly . . . she seizes the initiative and claims the kiss she has so long desired.
"We aren't going to be able to walk down the street and hold hands . . . So no, I'm going to take every second I can to just look into this soft blue eyes. I'm going to hold your hands and kiss your fingertips."
What I loved so much about this was the passion between the two young women. Even when lost in the moment, enjoying the pleasures they have to offer, they never lose sight of that friendship - especially since those stolen moments are all Jessica can have. That does not mean they cannot get kinky, or that they are above exploring boundaries, but it is always romance, not lust, that guides their actions. Just a lovely tale, with a lovely happily-for-now ending that lets us hope they might one day be able to live and love openly.

Sisters (But Not Like That) by Sorcha Rowan is (and let’s get this out of the way early) about sorority sisters Jessica and Roberta (known as Bobby) that are closer than any “family” could ever hope to be. Jessica is regarded as straight, and is dealing with heartbreak from some boy or some similar malaise for what’s surely the tenth or so time this year. Always there to comfort her is Bobby, who while I won’t make an assumption about her overall sexuality, is madly into Jessica sexually and emotionally. Today was finally enough, as Bobby makes an assumption about Jessica’s inability to see Bobby in this way...which is quickly debunked by a firm romantic kiss from Jessica. Friends for life and turning into lovers sounds wonderful, but this couple quickly begins to learn some of the bumps in the road that they’ll have to endure as a true romantic couple.
The finest mark of this story (to my mind) has to be the examination of the challenges to their lesbian relationship. Bobby and Jessica’s love is of course without question, and emphasized by the amazing sex scenes. In between the steamy moments, there are firm doses of reality, as not everyone in their lives is going to be diving in for the big win. Jessica comes from a conservative family, and that’s going to be tough sell in itself, but there’s a more local problem to address as well. One particular member of the sorority house has taken notice of this new love, and makes it known that she has a serious problem with it. The exchange had an odd hitch, and Bobby merely counters that the stuck up bitch is in dire need a good girl-fucking herself...
Despite this unusual exchange, the rest of the budding relationship’s qualities are both wonderful and wonderfully written. I’m rooting for this pair, and the earnest sexual moments between a person new to this style of love making, and the woman who’s loved her for her entire life...I mean how can we not appreciate that?!
Verdict: Sisters (But Not Like That) by Sorcha Rowan counters the growing standard of lesbian erotic fiction by including what goes on beyond the high intensity of the make outs and glass fogging fornication. The sex scenes fit the steamy standard we’ve come to know and love with this author, and the chemistry displayed won't be undersold. While the sex is fantastic, the commentary on the difficultly of such a relationship is what’s going to be most remembered by this reader. Bobby and Jessica won’t be able to fuck all their problems away, but for the little things: what’s the worst that could happen? Game on.
