Phoenix
Lisa Asher only wants to put the past behind her, but it keeps bubbling up, bringing uncomfortable memories with it.
When the statuesque beauty, Rachel King, her former client, rehires her as her lawyer, Lisa can't help but remember the reasons she had to leave her former law firm, nor can she ignore the desire she felt and still feels for the savvy business woman.
The same day, she recognizes her younger self in Bree, her new massage therapist. In her, Lisa sees the pure wide-eyed innocence and shy desire she'd felt when she was twenty-two. While seducing the young therapist, she relives the beauty of discovery without the entanglements she experienced as she realized who she was.
Lisa must now navigate this complicated world of love and lust, wants and needs. Will Lisa find herself up to the challenge?
The sex is sometimes rough and sometimes gentle, and the choices are sometimes natural and sometimes difficult, but the story is ultimately about woman loving each other and learning to love themselves.

A hidden gem
So pleased I chanced upon this great read.
Author Dierdre Winter gives us the story of Lisa, a thirtysomething lawyer establishing herself in a new city and coming to terms with her sexuality. Lisa is recovering from a failed relationship with a man. She has discovered that she is attracted to women and that monogamy doesn't work for her.
This is erotica with a heart, and a well-developed three-dimensional character in Lisa Asher. There is a great story and some scorching sex scenes to be found in these pages.
BDSM purists should be aware that Lisa participates in dominance/submission play, spanking and light bondage without the use of a safeword. Not smart in real life but I have no problem with it in fantasy like this story. Lisa is a polyamorous "switch", a fact her partners are aware of. There is no cheating in the timeframe covered by the book, though there are references to it having happened in the past.
4.5 "sweaty and desperate" stars. Very recommended.

A lawyer moves away and runs into an old client. Add in a young massage therapist and you have a very hot party involving women trying to start over and find themselves. This is a well-done erotic tale with three strong sex-positive women.

I've read many erotic stories with a few sex scenes and not much else. Phoenix by Dierdre Winter is not that. This is a full novel with a solid plot. The characters are fully developed. Short back stories give the reader the reasons for the main character's decisions. Dierdre must know a thing or two about business and legal matters because that aspect of the story is tight and advances the story. Then there is the sex which is fun to read and exploratory in nature.
It's well put together.

as a fan of bdsm (only from afar) lesfic i was in seventh heaven with this story, i did keep thinking the deeper lisa got into rachel and their close ties that her (lisa) and bree would become an iether her or me' and even at the end untill bree found lisa i thought she'd been dumped or forgotten, the sex scenes were excrushiatingly erotic i could have read three books by this auther on this theme with these three mains
ms winter this realy is a fine book and more please.
