Wolf Queen
When they were teenagers, Amber and Stevie were so deeply in love that nothing could drive them apart. Until the one night, when Amber needed Stevie to be there...and, instead, Stevie disappeared without a trace.
Seven years later, Stevie appears in Amber's life again with a long scar across her stomach, and a pretty fantastical explanation for her disappearance that night. Sparks fly between the two women, and they are drawn together with a passion neither of them can ignore. But Amber needs the truth about what happened that night.
Can Amber forgive Stevie, or will the true story of that night be too hard to believe?

Amber works for a gay newspaper in Chicago named "Proud and Windy". There's basically three other people working there, and one's a bird. The kind with feathers. She's 25 and has lived in Chicago for seven years. After fleeing her gay hating (apparently) little town in not-Chicago Illinois (specifically Kankakee Illinois). Her mother's dead, she has a sister, and she was raised by her minimum-wage working father who loved her, but whose love is conditional on not learning that she was this evil fithly gay person. That she was. So, at 18, she was going to move to Chicago. With the woman of her dreams, Stevie.
Except Stevie didn't turn up.
Well, as I said, it's seven years later. Amber's given an assignment to interview the new owner of Howl, renamed Wolf Queen. Who, it turns out, is someone Amber hasn't seen in seven years. That Stevie person who disappeared on her.
I'd already overloaded the first paragraph or I'd have put there that the newspaper that Amber works for is, as the owner of the place calls it (well, Amber's boss, maybe he isn't the owner) - mostly used for it's personels section. And is only in operation because of the advertisements. Oh, and Howl has promissed to put a full page advertisement in, which is one reason Amber's given said assignment to interview the owner.
Ah, stories that start off in "modern times" then suddenly jump elsewhere. Like this one. In which, suddenly, after being shocked into not being able to move or talk by bumping into the new owner of Howl/Wolf Queen - Stevie, we are lead back to Kankakee. Not even as quick a trip as back to that night seven years ago when she was going to leave the town. No, all the way back to when she was ten and saw Stevie for the first time and knew that one was the one for her.
It's vaguely weird when you read about love at first sight. Especially when the people involved are both ten years old. But, meh. heh. Then it's weird to learn that the deeper kind of love wasn't realized until 16. Strange, that. Realized as in, realized loved them that way.
Hmms. And this short story is only 87% of the Kindle file. And . . . just kinda . . ended. What the hell? That's the story? There's no bloody story. Two women were apart for seven years and found each other again. The end. mmphs.

Yes, she did it again.
This was amazing. All the pain, being alone, not knowing why. The trust, accepting, this is about real love. Another wonderful story of Bridget.

oh wow…
I was truly surprised how captivated I was by this story. The amount of emotions I felt while reading this book. The love as well as the heartbreak was palpable. I wished it was a bit longer. I wish I knew how long and hard she searched.
I was totally invested in these two finding lasting happiness. When only 10 years old, she knew. And why did Stevie smell her hair like she did? Does that mean something?
Anyway. I hope there is more to come. This book should be the start of a series.

Beautifully done novella.
In just a few pages, you have the back story, the drama, the resolution, the sex scene and the hope for a bright future !
Short and steamy, and heartwarming at the same time. That's how I like my PWP ! With a micro plot to keep the reading going.

I don't think I'll ever get over my dislike of the word panties.

A great quick read!
A quick but great read. I absolutely love this author and how well she can tell a story in such a short time.
Would have liked for the book to be a little longer but I'm not complaining at all. The storyline is great and the message of loving someone no matter what can be used in anyone's life.
Definitely looking forward to more titles from this very talented author!

Amber and Stevie have loved each other since they were children. On the night they were suppose to ride off into the sunset Stevie was a no show. Seven years their paths cross again and Stevie is begging for a second chance. This tender short story is just perfect. The love these women have has survived the test of time leading little doubt they are soul mates. When you learn the reason Stevie disappeared your heart will break for both of them. Truly a beautiful tale.
