About the author

I am your friendly neighborhood Sapphic romance writer, who has a knack for writing steamy romances, that also work as comfort reads. I know, a conundrum! But once you give my books a shot, you'll know what I mean!
I live in London, a few streets away from where Sherlock Holmes used to live, so... if I you find me taking too long to publish my next book, I am probably off with Mr. Holmes on an adventure.

Rowan Hale is a rancher in Texas, the latest in several generations of her family to run the ranch. She is a strong woman, both physically and mentally, caring for those closest to her, caring for her land and the people that work for her, being very protective of her privacy and that of her twelve year old daughter, Maisie.
Skye is a pop star with a huge following amongst teen girls. She writes her own songs, and much of her music hints gently at her sexuality. Her followers are expecting her to come out publicly soon. Her real love is rooted in country music, but her label is always pushing her towards the pop side because the financial rewards are far higher for them. She is in a contract where the label’s demands and her artistic integrity are in direct opposition.
Somehow, this one got me in the emotions almost immediately… Rowan trying to come to terms with Maisie growing up, trying to control everything, and then the concert in the first chapter, the emotional description of the last song. After that, it gets better and better. This was a story I couldn’t put down.
The first stories I read by Ms Goswami needed a lot of editing, but under that there was always a good story. Now her writing is so different, so much better. This is an amazing story. It moves at a good pace, with a lot of thoughtful detail, and some very intense and sexy, steamy scenes. Skye teases Rowan, drawing out the sexual undercurrents, making her - and us - want. Rowan initially thinks Skye is a superficial and spoiled star, but later Skye shows her integrity and loyalty, her insecurities and her vulnerabilities. My only slight issue is that some of the sex references were too crass and dirty for my liking.

I felt like something was "off" about this novel as soon as I started reading it. My task then, throughout the remainder of the novel, was to try and figure out which fanfic it was, or whether it was even written by a human at all. The narrative was just a bit too devoid of any real feeling, there were no contractions in the narrative at all, the characters seemed two-dimensional and the insta-love nature of their romance fell a bit flat for me. There was also a fascination/obsession/kink with the rancher's breasts which really put me off after reading several laboured paragraphs about their density, size, bounceability, pendulous nature, etc etc etc. I'm not sure the author has ever met a woman before and, if they have, their fetish with mammary glands definitely showed.

I latterly found out that this is potentially an AI author which, frankly, would track given the clunky nature of the narrative itself and the lack of any real personality in the characters. There was a really good book to be found in the exploration of the age-gap, polarised background, celebrity love story, but unfortunately this novel wasn't it.

The plot for this book was good. That’s about the only good thing I have to say. I swear in a 380ish page book, 1/3 of the pages had some description of the one FMCs boobs. I simply did not need to hear about gravity on her tits and how big her tits were and how bouncy her tits were every couple of pages. I’m also relatively certain that the person who wrote this has never had sex with a woman, sex scenes were not written well.

Fun, great characters and plot, fun banter and chemistry between the FMCs. I recommend if you want a simple sapphic romance, I enjoyed this read but it is in need of a thorough editing

AI Slop, embarrassed it took me as long as it did to realize

This was an enjoyable read. I liked the three primary characters (the two women and the older one's teenage daughter), and the plot is interesting. There are stakes besides romance, and the story doesn't closely follow the enemies-to-lovers trope as the title promises (or threatens). There is desire early on. The two women don't bicker all the time. One has a daughter to think about. There isn't nearly as much sex as other books I've read by Goswami, but that doesn't mean there aren't some great hot scenes. (Books can still be titillating without tons of sex). The writing quality is decent, though I feel Goswami tries too hard to come up with 10 clever metaphors on every page. The extraordinary difference in the two women's age and maturity level allows for some interesting dynamics and plot elements – the singer is a young 20. But the gap in age as well as fame, beauty, and income means you'll have to suspend disbelief a little - not uncommon in this genre. I just put myself in the rancher's boots and enjoyed the ride.

Music and ranching

Rowan has ranch come on by your ex-husband. Sky wants to shoot her video at the Hale ranch but Ronan is not in favor of it. This is a story about two different personalities from two different areas to find love. I found the plot very good and the book was very steamy and the love area. I like the characters and the way the story develop I recommend this book for all romance readers.
