About Gaza Love by Lee Cushing
Kate was a dedicated aid worker, a doctor working in Gaza to relieve suffering and starvation. She was a compassionate human being, one to whom war was a completely unthinkable foreign concept.
Nia was a mercenary, trained to kill. She was an expert in dealing with absolutes.
The moment Kate and Nia met amid the horrors of war, their attraction to each other was undeniable. As their love grew amidst the carnage of war, the two women were thrown together in a situation that no one should have to face.
Review – You know I LOVE a good sapphic story and this one does not disappoint. I was very happy to receive a copy of this book, Gaza Love, and very intrigued by the title. Instantly, I dove in to give this novella a read so that I could tell you all about it. We are taken immediately to Gaza and quickly introduced to Katie and Nia in the middle of a war.
This is the fifteenth book in the “Girls Kissing Girls” series from author Lee Cushing. This is the first book I’ve read in the series but now I am very interested in going back to read the rest. This is a story that you will likely find tragic as well as transformative.
In the book, we are introduced to Kate, a committed humanitarian worker whose life’s purpose is to lessen suffering in Gaza’s war-torn areas.
Then we have Nia, a character that personifies the harsh realities of war. Nia, a mercenary by trade, lives her life under the constraints of survival and the need to make difficult choices. She is unparalleled in her ability to navigate the complexity of battle zones, yet beyond her stern demeanor is a complicated and fascinating inner life. Nia is quite clearly Katie’s opposite, from early on in the story.
Still, they are drawn to one another. They cross paths and an irresistible attraction that defies the chaos around them is sparked. In this story, we see Cushing explore the subtleties of love and the resilience it offers in the face of suffering. The connection between the two women is so strong and real, it’s hard not to want to root for them.

Author Bio:
There is nothing like two women kissing each other. The reason I focus on lesbian storytelling is that it adds elements that some people consider taboo, in the hope of enlightening others to the beauty of sapphic love. I may be straight but am a great supporter of gay rights.
My author name is a combination of acting legends Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing and I hope that my fans will check out their body of work – They may have appeared in terrible films but always gave 150% of their talent.
My interests include studying supernatural folklore, bizarre mysteries like alien abductions, the Loch Ness Monster and similar occurrences and am a fan of shows like Doctor Who, Star Trek and Buffy The Vampire Slayer, from which I draw much of my inspiration.
