This novella is so well-written. Rey manages to develop her two characters quickly and with enough detail, that the reader will fall in love with both of them. While the storyline has been told before by others, Rey’s writing makes the story seem fresh and new. This gem of a book is a must-read for all readers who love LesFic.

Adorable

Jude is adorable and makes me think a little of Sheldon on “The Big Bang Theory”. I was rooting for her and hoping Gabby saw her heart. HEA

Cute premise, liked it overall. Spicy scenes were good. Hated the main conflict though, didn't need to happen and made Gabby come off as super immature imo.
