Okay, Lee Winter is the absolute queen of sapphic romance. Everything she writes ends up being so much richer and more layered than you could ever expect. Take, for example, First-Class Villains. You’d think four villains from four of her novels meeting in an airport lounge would just be a quick joke, but it ends up being a deeply emotional interqual for Natalia, and the way the characters interact is so perfect and humorous.

Also, having the white themed party turn up twice (as well as a particular balcony!) is so good.
