Dieses Buch ist eine Einladung, den Basler Fotografen und Verleger Peter Heman und sein vielfältiges Schaffen neu zu entdecken. Heman hat nicht nur mit seinen Aufnahmen historischer und zeitgenössischer Bauten ein breites und international bekanntes Oeuvre hinterlassen. Seine 'Reportagen' aus dem städtischen Lebensraum Basels überzeugen durch ihren poetischen und doch realitätsnahen Charakter und erinnern zeitweise an grosse Vorbilder wie Henri Cartier-Bresson. Thematisiert werden auch die innovativen experimentellen Fotografien, die Heman vor allem in den 1950er Jahren für die Werbeabteilungen der grossen Basler Chemieunternehmen anfertigte. In grossformatigen Abbildungen lassen sich Hemans Werke im Detail erkunden. Der begleitende Text verbindet biografische Erzählung, fotografische Analyse und kulturgeschichtliche Einordnung.

I Loved It
Format: Kindle
This was my first time reading a book by Elle Alexanda, and it definitely won’t be my last! I was absolutely captivated by the Lou/Ava love story. I found Lou’s vulnerability so endearing. It was an excellent read, and I wish it were available as an audiobook. The story was a slow burn, but it kept me hooked. The flirting and banter between Lou and Ava were so entertaining. I didn’t want the story to end! Well done, Elle!

Romance with a side of Thrill
Format: Kindle
4.25 stars!
I was immediately engrossed in this debut novel, with the thrilling beginning and obvious future romance between Lou and Ava. I thought the setting of the town was wonderful, full of small charm and supportive characters. The little nods towards the continuing threat to Ava’s life were good. The budding romance was great, too! I think the intimacy scenes were soft and perfect.
The main reason this didn’t reach 4.5 stars for me (thus would’ve rounded it to 5 instead of down to 4), is because of the POV switches during chapters. They’re a bit jumbled in; the reader is suddenly seeing or hearing things from Lou when it started with Ava, but then it quickly switches back to Ava. It’s not my favorite way for a story to be shared.
I also lost a little steam towards the middle-end, right before the big finale. I’m not sure if my other hobby distracted me or if the story hit a slow spot. It’s possible I was hoping for a little more excitement. This story had more romance than thrill.

Blood and Muscle
Format: Kindle
I had this on my shelf for a while. lG reviews were great, the cover was pretty, and it sounded really interesting.
It was better than I expected! Love when that happens🥰
The story was great, the writing was good, and the characters were amazing! Ava and Lou's chemistry at first was a little charged. But as the story went and their relationship developed, it turned into something more tender and very intimate. Throw in the witness protection thing, and you have quite exciting romance. I will be reading this again!

Thrilling Fusion of Suspense and Sapphic Longing: Blood and Muscle Delivers with Depth and Desire
Format: Kindle
Elle Alexandra delivers a masterfully woven tale of suspense and romance in Blood and Muscle, a novel that seamlessly balances pulse-pounding tension with deeply felt emotional intimacy. Set against the stark yet breathtaking backdrop of Cedar Falls, Wyoming, this story immerses readers in a world where danger and desire are inextricably linked, and where trust is both a luxury and a necessity.
At the heart of the novel are Ava Bedford, a reluctant fugitive thrust into witness protection after witnessing a murder tied to a powerful political figure, and Sheriff Lou Harman, a woman whose life is defined by structure, solitude, and an unwavering sense of duty. Their dynamic is as compelling as it is electrifying, Ava’s sharp wit and warmth slowly chipping away at Lou’s carefully maintained defenses, creating a relationship that simmers with slow-burning intensity.
Alexandra’s character work is nothing short of exquisite. Both Ava and Lou are richly developed, imbued with layers of vulnerability, resilience, and undeniable magnetism. Their interactions feel organic, their chemistry electric, and their individual arcs deeply satisfying. The town of Cedar Falls, too, becomes more than just a setting, it breathes with its own quiet menace and rugged charm, a place of both refuge and lurking danger.
The novel’s pacing is expertly handled, with the tension mounting in a way that keeps readers perpetually on edge. Alexandra deftly balances moments of tender introspection with sequences of gripping suspense, ensuring that neither the romance nor the thriller elements overshadow the other. The prose is fluid, evocative, and often poetic, drawing readers deeper into the world she has so carefully crafted.
If there is one minor drawback, it is the at-times subtle transition between the protagonists’ perspectives. While both Ava and Lou’s voices are distinct, a more clearly delineated shift in POV would have further enhanced the reading experience, offering even greater immersion into their respective inner worlds. However, this is a small quibble in an otherwise exceptional novel.
Blood and Muscle is a triumph, an intoxicating blend of romance, intrigue, and raw emotion. It is a testament to the power of resilience, the fragility of trust, and the courage it takes to love in the face of uncertainty. Elle Alexandra has crafted a story that lingers long after the final page, making this a must-read for fans of sapphic fiction who crave both heart-pounding suspense and soul-stirring romance.
