Kayce Asher is the Creative Director for Emerson Thurgood in New York. After her last relationship, she’s more than a little hesitant about dating again. Texanna Dilworth is a photographer who is the complete opposite of Kayce…tattoos, tomboyish, outspoken, and not afraid of letting her know she’s interested. Just when she’s willing to give Tex a chance after a trip to Provincetown, someone turns Kayce’s life upside down. Her time is divided between her budding romance with Tex, her ex Lora who wants her back, and trying to figure out who’s stalking her and why. Sometimes we think we know someone, but we only know the perception they’ve created. A suspenseful lesbian romance novel.

Remember: two stars is not a bad thing!
The book starts off a little confusing. The prologue is longer than most and I almost thought it was really the beginning of the story. Chapter 1 is where the story starts with the background of how Kayce meets Texanna. The story follows from there.
There were times in this story where I thought the author did more telling than showing. It felt very passive in writing. The dialog between the major characters were written quite well.
There was some inconsistencies in the story. Tex felt vulnerable about Kayce’s cheating, but it was never resolved This almost made feel like the relationship they had was walking a one-way street.
The thriller aspect went on a bit too long and dragged the plot down in parts. The antagonist was not built up at all, and therefore I didn't feel anything after the climax. That felt like a missed opportunity.
The ending felt abrupt.
Sexy bits start in chapter 9 and continue in chapter 16.
Chapter 15 repeats prologue.
I saw one glaring typo: narrow-mined. I think it was suppose to be narrow-minded.
Not a bad plot; tightening up the suspense would have made it better. This story would be good for readers to like really sexy bits woven into a thriller. But the sexy bits never came when the plot was trying to thrill.
