Last summer ,I broadened my horizons by reading a lesbian romance novel, Courtney Milan’s Mrs. Martin’s Incomparable Adventure. It was an entertaining caper story about superfluous women who teamed up to take revenge on a horrible man.

A Little Light Mischief by Cat Sebastian is now the second superfluous women team up to take down a horrible man lesbian novel I’ve read recently and, as a result, I think this deserves a sub-genre of it’s own. I’m open to suggestions as to what we can call it. ^_^

Alice Stapleton is the daughter of a well-placed, and chronically abusive clergical father in England during some unnamed 18th-century-ish period, or maybe early 19th, it’s really hard to tell. She’s been rescued from a life of misery by a woman who knows the terrible secret in her past, and who whisked her away. But now, sundered from her family, Alice has nothing to do and nowhere to be. Worse, her benefactor has unwittingly puts her into the path of the man who harmed her.

Luckily for Alice, former criminal, now maid, Molly knows exactly that type of man and throws in with Alice to take him down. As they grow closer, Molly and Alice share their secrets, find love and desire in each others’ arms…and take down the rat bastard who ruined Alice’s life.

This book is a quick read and an amusing one, nothing here is designed to make an impression. Summer reading, vacation reading – not that any of us are taking vacations this year. If you’d like a cheap, fun read, this makes a nice investment of $1.99 on Kindle.

Sometimes we all need a cheerful “lesbians get revenge on a terrible man” story.  ^_^

Now, what are we going to call this sub-genre of superfluous women getting revenge on terrible men?  I propose Lesbian R&R (Romance & Revenge.) Let’s have your suggestions in the comments!
