One of the J's at DA reviews m/m and bdsm exclusively (think it's SaraF/Joan?)
Thanks, I added that.
Thanks for the mention. You should probably want to add All About Romance (http://www.likesbooks.com), although they are more of a "R"omance only, with few eroticas and very little to no ebooks reviewed. But they are one of the biggest romance review sites at the moment, so it's a shame to overlook them.
Jayne over at DA has reviewed a couple of f/f books, too.
What about Wendy the Super Librarian?
Rainbow Reviews
Uniquely Pleasurable
Speak its Name (gay historical, digital copies gladly accepted, reviews any format.) www.speakitsname.wordpress.com
Bosom Friends (lesbian historical, ditt) http://bosomfriends.wordpress.com/ (still under construction)
Reviews by Jessewave (www.reviewsbyjessewave.com)
What about TRS (the romance studio) and TRS Blue and JERR (just erotic romance reviews)? I think TRS just started a LBGT romance section also. Both sites put out newsletters monthly, or more often, and also have websites with reviews, interviews, articles and other services.
Thanks,
Pat (I don't have a website etc, or I wouldn't be anonymous!) :)
I am adding these as I get the time, please do make more suggestions of you have them.
Veiled Secrets Reviews will review self published works and accept digital review copies. We will also review older works if requested.

You might want to add BookWenches. They review erotica and romance of all stripes.
Thank you for the mention. I am glad to see the others folks have listed. Wish I had additional ideas!
I am not sure what the list is for, but FYI, I do not accept any free books (digital or print) from publishers or authors, (except for the occasional contest!).
I review all romance subgenres.
Hi Jessica, I will add a note that you don't take submission. The list is a general reference rather than just for submitting, although I imagine this will be the main use for it.
Romance Junkies reviewe all types of romance (not sure about ff) in print and ebook.
I lurk over on emmyjag's blog.
http://emmyjag.livejournal.com/
I find her reviews entertaining, and while I'm a huge fan of m/m, if one sounds interesting (story/character) I'll check it out.
verification word: butsfer. ha! Butts for what? hehee.
Oops! here's the RJ link:
http://www.romancejunkiesreviews.com/artman/publish/
And that should be I'm *not* a huge fan of m/m.
Looking at your code for genres, if R is Romance, and E is erotica, and RE is erotic romance, does ER mean a reviewer reviews both erotica and romance, or is it just another form of RE, erotica romance?
