Angel's memory loss cover story? Lame. Robbing a passing ruffian of his shirt to cover her naked body? NOT a good way to avoid attracting attention! As a science fiction geek, Kim felt herself uniquely qualified to watch Angel and thwart her dark mission...once the alien got around to it.

He hired me because of my brains, but it wasn't long after coming to work for him that I realized he's interested in me for more than my intellect. And because of his pursuit, I now find myself in the midst of cat fights I didn't start, office backstabbing I can't seem to stop, and jealous innuendo from my female coworkers, the likes of which I've never encountered.

JACK - My life ended when I was 16. Not literally - I’m no ghost, I just feel like one. It's a byproduct of losing your pack to a plague that skips you by like you’re not worth the effort. Chose all the good ones and you’re what was left behind. Survivor’s guilt, people call it. I just call it like I see it. I do a decent job of going through the motions. I’ve got a good reputation as an alpha, and everyone loves to joke about the only vegan alpha in North America. Some days even I’m convinced that this is it. As good as it gets. Then Dylan Kapernit walks into my shop.

I've always wanted a family of my own. But I never thought I'd be able to afford it. That is, until my billionaire boss made me a proposition: I give him a baby, he gets to rehabilitate his image, he saves his father's company, and I get to raise a child who wants for nothing. Of course, the fact Jonathan Dane is utterly irresistible doesn't hurt. He might be ruthless, but he's putting everything I've ever wanted at my fingertips. A girl can pretend, can't she?

After several decades of looking for true love and never finding it, aging model and lingerie designer, Alexa Ranger, has finally given up the search. A couple of years ago, she got tired of the game completely and just stopped dating. Now friends and family keep her mostly content, so it's shocking at 50 years old to find herself suddenly wanting a sex life again. It's even more shocking to be attracted to a much younger man this time. She definitely thinks Casey Carter is sexy, but not handling her own age well, Alexa just can't get passed their 12 year age difference to even consider a fling.

I've spent my entire adult life avoiding dating, which is funny because I work for a matchmaking service. My boss calls me "The Beast" because of my no B.S. attitude. My job is to scare away problem clients - the unmatchables. In waltzes Mister Alfred Barnes. He's stuck up, brazen, and mouthwateringly gorgeous. Guys like him think they own the world, but in here I'm in charge. Kicking him out of my office is one of my greatest pleasures...until I find out that he totally lied about his identity.

Summary
Lesbian private investigator series set in 1920’s New York - 20 bite-size episodes.
Tired of the routine life of trying on dresses and looking pretty, Ella Quick has taken up a new job at Manhattan private investigations firm, Emerald Inc. As a secretary, Ella expects to spend her days making coffee and filing paperwork, so it’s a pleasant surprise when her boss, Josie Desroches, takes her on assignments that not only open her eyes to the world but also teach her a thing or two about herself. Soon Ella finds herself falling in lust with her boss as she enters a decadent underground world of speakeasies, sex workers and the mafia.
Full Series: 1920’s New York Mystery
Set in historical New York City in the Roaring Twenties during a period of social revolution for women everywhere, bringing about significant change from fashion to suffrage to gender and sexual expression. Sapphic in the Shadows is a racy series that follows Ella’s adventures as she and her feisty boss solve mysteries, get entangled with drugs, prostitutes, and the mafia, and encounter the biggest, most ingenious crime organization that the city has ever known.
Does it complicate things that Ella seems to be having romantic feelings for her boss? Certainly. Will it confuse matters further when Ella discovers her boss is a queer sexual deviant of the LGBT variety? A flirtatious and outlandish lesbian who regularly uses her attributes to get what she wants? Definitely.
Has Ella bit off more than she can chew by taking this job or would she have been better off staying at home, looking pretty, and hoping to snag a rich husband?
Listen on to find out...

The Shadow and the Many Lesbians
Sapphic in the Shadows is a wildly inaccurate historical piece of erotic lesbiana, a turn on the lesbian pulp fiction genre in which older lesbian brings out younger lesbian etc. and their adventures. The younger lesbian gradually learns to stand up to the older. The younger gets a girlfriend with whom she is happy. Older lesbian is a private eye who hires the younger one to join her agency. They investigate the disappearance of several working girls, discovering an organized crime group, “The Shadow”, and a bunch of crooked cops.
Maybe some the historical details are true, like the party in which many women are having sex with each other in each other’s presence. I don’t know. I do know that the authors describe one character’s behavior as “passive-aggressive”, a term coined by WWll psychiatrists in 1945. Also, the use of “info dump” to describe a character giving info to the newspaper was highly unlikely in 1920.
The narrator unfortunately mispronounces several words. She says Ms., formal millennial term for any woman, instead of Miss, the classic title for an unmarried woman in the early 20th century; gauche becomes gaash , and furrowing is somehow farrowing. She also reads rapidly, so the listener doesn’t know where paragraphs begin and end. We don’t get to really enjoy the story that way.
For all my nitpicking, take a listen to “Sapphic”. Once I got over my cheap self I enjoyed it, and not just the sex scenes either, though they are very pleasant indeed.
