Incognito
Although Kylie is beautiful and brilliant, she floats through life without worrying if she's fulfilling her potential. Waiting tables, smoking weed, and hooking up are good enough for her - until her new coworker threatens to shatter her complacency. Starshine tries to keep the other waitresses at a distance. If any of them get too close, they might learn why she's working at a place like Jubblies. But as her attraction to Kylie burns brighter, hiding who she really is gets harder. Will Kylie discover the secret Starshine desperately wants to keep? And if Starshine reveals her true reason for being there, will Kylie even want to be around her?

Previously published as m/m fiction by A. R. Steele, under the title Live Fantasies.
Starshine and Kylie waitress at a restaurant called Jubblies. It's referred to as a breastaurant by Starshine. Kylie lives a fast and loose lifestyle, but takes more notice of Starshine than any other man or woman. Starshine fancies Kylie, but she's created a fictitious girlfriend to hide behind. Starshine's work at Jubblies is in fact Incognito. Her real name, profession and personality remain safely subsumed behind the twinkling Starshine persona.
As Kylie gets up close with Starshine, she suspects her of lying. At first blush, it seems Starshine could be a cop and drugs could be her target. Nothing harder than weed is being passed around the revealing restaurant. Starshine adamantly denies being any variety of law enforcement. Kylie keeps up her pursuit inside Starshine's bedroom, the restaurant and outside of both places. This is perhaps the best part of this terribly written book.
Kylie and Starshine are very young women. Their bedroom antics and physical attraction defines their blossoming relationship. Lies cloud any chance to find themselves in real love. Romance takes a back seat to their hot hook ups. I don't dispute that women have one and done encounters, but what happens between these characters feels decidedly unfeeling. Their day long hiking trips were their most authentic interactions. Incognito captured nearly no feelings. The characters had plenty to say about the beauty that they saw when they looked at each other. For Kylie, "Starshine was the most beautiful woman she'd ever seen." As their one night stand unfolds, Starshine has seen "Kylie's body, from her surface piercings to the tribal tattoo around her left bicep." Magical stuff, right? As they proceed to get naked, Kylie's "body was an absolute vision. Starshine salivated for Kylie." Sounds more like a hungry diner before a tasty meal, than a lover on the verge of romantic revelation. Perhaps in the m/m version, this fixation on all things physique works. The interplay between characters, the restaurant setting and the subterfuge in the plot left my temperature remarkably cold, even when the heat gets turned up.
