Most free and/or cheap ebooks fall into one of four categories:
- Classic literature
- Trashy romance
- Bad trashy romance
- Self-published works of varying quality
Sometimes it’s important to read for quantity and not quality, which is why the following books are all category 2: trashy lesbian romance. Concentration of sex scenes and/or subsequent U-hauling may vary.
Taming The Wolff, by Del Robertson
Featuring a rogue pirate with the sea as her mistress and a woman abducted and held for ransom, Taming the Wolff is the lesbian version of all those pirate-riddled Harlequins your grandmother possibly read and may have lent you when you were definitely too young and also too gay for them.
