Judy was born in Oklahoma and raised in Kansas. With the end of a sixteen year same sex relationship, Judy has devoted her time to her love of writing.
In the past four years of the single life, and retirement, Judy has been busy writing lesbian romance novellas. To date she has published sixteen on Amazon, with another fourteen waiting to be edited and published. As usual, she is busy writing yet another book.
Judy’s books are lesbian romance but most include important social issues, such as, lesbian domestic violence, family incest, forgiveness, ghostly happenings, online dating, older women finding lesbian love, homophobia, childhood abuse, a young girl’s acceptance of having two moms, a female war vet with lasting physical and mental issues. Judy prefers to write with characters in their mid-thirties, with the oldest being sixty-nine and seventy years of age.
3.5. Obviously it's an age gap romance. Lot of conflict though. So. There's that. Which is odd considering it's a novella. Usually in shorts and novellas you don't really have time to include the bad feels.
As much as I wanted to enjoy this book, it was nearly impossible. The book has no beginning, the main chars meet and we are told they are in love after one weekend spent together, where all they do is have sex. There's no conversation that could indicate them getting to know each other or deciding what do they want from each other. We just find out they are in love and suddenly they argue about telling others about them when they haven't even decided what they are. Then there's suddenly a dead ex that poses a problem for Dane to be in relationship when she had no reservations about being in a relationship, quite the opposite, she was pushing for one. I think the book could be quite good if it was actually developed properly, and the main characters would be allowed to do more than have sex and argue.
The well developed characters in this very well written tale make for an engrossing story that flows from the pages. You can feel the pain of each woman as they struggle to overcome the large age difference between them. Then tragedy strikes, and one woman disappears. This book should be added to your must-read list.
Excuse me? This book ends in the middle of a sentence and in the middle of a situation. If there’s a sequel in the future it’s a very rude way to hint it. I’m going to give one star only because imho ending in this ways is disrespectful to the readers.
