I found this book to be very average. The character who played the rock star did not come off as a very sympathetic or likable person. I also could not figure out why her new girlfriend (a successful writer) loved her so much. Overall I found this story not very compelling. The loves scenes were not even good.

This review is from: Love Letters in the Sand: A Novel (Paperback)

Novelist Sydney Sanders is invited to a party by one of her fans. Little does she know the love of her life, a woman no less, is waiting there for her. That woman is L.C. Hackett, a rock star who hasn't won a grammy in several years and is trying to get back on top. This reader enjoyed the story, but won't spend the time to read it again. The romance was great and most of us would love to have a relationship like theirs, but nothing really happened in the book. Sure, there were angst and issues surrounding making two lives one, but the story was bland and unexciting. It almost seemed like a "day in the life" of these two women instead of an exciting new relationship.

Recommended for when you're in a melancholy mood and don't have anything better to do... accompanied with a cold beer and a bag of chips. This one only takes a few hours from start to finish.

This review is from: Love Letters in the Sand: A Novel (Paperback)

Sydney Sanders is an award winning writer and has two failed marriages. She has always considered herself to be straight. L C Hackett is a Grammy winning rock star and her career has come to a halt.
The pair meet up at a party and sparks fly between them. The questions are, will Sydney be able to love another woman? Will L C be able to make a commitment to Sydney?
The path will be rocky and there will be outside influences trying to sabotage their fragile blossoming relationship.
I enjoyed this book. It shows that people as different as chalk and cheese can not only be attracted to one another, but can actually be good for one another.
