About the author

Realistic. Erotic. Romantic.
These are words I try to encompass in my writing. I like to create characters you can imagine knowing in person and put them in situations where romance is unexpected and yet inevitable.
My themes tend to include coming out and May-December love, because both provide equal doses of resistance and surrender. I don't shy away from description, and plenty of it, because a romance should make your heart beat fast!
I live in Florida with my partner and assorted pets.

Lovely little book, and the leads were both easy to like. I do wish some of the angst had come a bit earlier in the narrative, so we could spend more time with them as a couple.

This is a nice little story. It is obvious that it is an early work of the author, but none of the awkward bits really detracts from the story itself. As a hopelessly heterosexual woman I was uncertain what to expect in the love scenes, but my worries were in vain. What I did find was a nice little romance, some discovery and some nicely hot love scenes, which were well written and involving without being crude or kitch.

I liked this story, and although it doesn't fall into the category of books I normally read, I'm glad I took a chance. I will certainly be looking again at this author to see how she grows!

Very sweet, short story, both characters are likeable, one of my favourite lesbian books I've read.
