True Confessions
Being in love with your best friend shouldn’t be this difficult.
Lynn Patrick returns home to Portland for the holidays and discovers that her lifelong friend, Jessie Greenfield, is separated from her husband. Lynn finally sees her chance, and during a game of True Confessions, expresses her love for Jessie. Expecting rejection, Lynn is shocked to realize that the feelings might be mutual.
But for Jessie, nothing has ever been simple. Her father was abusive, and she married a man just like him. Her husband has already put her in the hospital once and has threatened her since they separated. All Jessie cares about is protecting the people she loves, and that includes her six-year-old daughter.
When Jessie’s husband shows up looking to make good on his threats, will Lynn and Jessie be able to weather the storm, or will he succeed in keeping them apart forever?

Rating 4 stars because it did keep me entertained, but something was missing. I could feel emotion during the brief split and was internally devastated, but also pissed off that Jessie didn't simply tell the truth. I felt that a few parts were overlooked in the writing, or were contradicted. Almost gave it 3 stars, but again, I felt emotion and read quickly, it was just a tad shallow.
Either way, I'm so glad Lynn ended up with her girl.

Its a very cute, entertaining book but everything seems to happen in like warp speed... Would've loved if the author developed & expounded on the characters & the narrative more. But it was still an enjoyable read.

I had high(ish) hopes for this one,even though it's absolutely riddled with lesbian romance fiction cliches (and I like a beer and all, but the amount of drinking in these books always makes me feel hung over). However, the plot quickly becomes predictable and the abusive husband subplot quickly turns to melodrama. On the plus side, it was a very quick read!

My first
This is the first book I have read from this author. I have to say I really enjoyed the pace of the storyline. The storyline had me biting my nails the whole time. I really like the characters they all played their parts in the story. I would definitely recommend this book.

January 12, 2013It was nice but there was something missing.. and sometimes I got really annoyed with the main characters. Maybe it was for me.

Totally unbelievable characters leaves the reader completely un-engaged and the result is a very uninteresting story. A very disappointing read.

I regret picking this up because I like to finish once I've started. The idea was cool enough but I found the plot progression predictable and the characters shallow.
