Another Winner, May 22, 2006
Whether you read Radclyffe's series books, like the Justice series or the Honor series or the Provincetown series, or you read one of her stand-alone romances, you can not go wrong.
I have been reading lesbian fiction for many years, and can honestly say that I have never come across a writer that has so affected me. Her characters are strong, intelligent, and romantic. Naysayers will say that Radclyffe's characters are too perfect almost never flawed - either in looks or character. That may be true, but aren't you tired of the genre's penchant for ordinary? Radclyffe's characters are always enchanting, intoxicating, enticing, and intense. The stories, particularly in the series books, are all first class. Most of her series books are page-turners. And in two of the books, I actually turned to the last page to make sure that the main characters survived - something I never do.
Radclyffe let us believe, at least for the duration of each of her books, that the grand passion, the true love, the happy-ever-after are all possible. She lets us believe that being a strong, intelligent woman does not mean that we will be alone and/or isolated.
The only caveat I have is to read the series books in order. And if you enjoy watching a writer grow, then read the non-series books in the order they were written and watch Radclyffe's talent grow before your very eyes.

Intense Drama! Romance! Intrigue!, March 22, 2005
Introduced in the fantastic book, Shield of Justice, Detective Sgt. Rebecca Frye and Dr. Catherine Rawlings relationship continues to develop as Rebecca, who was critically injured while on a case, returns to duty. Assigned to a task force headed by the Justice Department, Rebecca is joined by JT Sloan, who was introduced to readers in A Matter of Trust, and her team of cyber experts.
What type of case could the task force be investigating that would involve the Justice Department? Drugs? Pornography? Weapons Dealing? As Rebecca emerges herself in the task force's investigation, Catherine finds herself with several questions. Has Rebecca returned to duty too soon? Will her injuries keep her from giving her best or put her in extreme danger once again? How much strain could this put on their relationship?
And when JT's lover Michael is critically injured and fights for her life, Rebecca, along with dealing with everything else that's going on, is forced into keeping JT from going off on a vigilante mission. Questions arise: Who was the intended target? Was it JT? Rebecca? Michael herself? As signs start to point to someone else within the task force having their own hidden agenda, more questions surface. Who is this person? Will their agenda put any or all of the task force members in danger...to the point it could cost someone their life?
Extremely talented in fusing drama, intrigue, suspense and romance Radclyffe is truly one of the supreme writers of our time. Adept at weaving captivating tales as displayed in her "Honor" series: Above All, Honor; Honor Bound, Love & Honor, and Honor Guards, as well as in her other books: Passion's Bright Fury, Tomorrow's Promise, Love's Tender Warriors, Love's Masquerade, Fated Love, Safe Harbor and its terrific sequel Beyond the Breakwater along with the aforementioned Shield of Justice and A Matter of Trust and my personal favorite, Love's Melody Lost. Her upcoming book, Distant Shore, Silent Thunder can only be another terrific book by a truly terrific writer.

Don't miss any of the books in this fabulous series -
A Matter of Trust
Shield of Justice
In Pursuit of Justice
Justice in the Shadows
Justice Served
from the publisher's website: In the dynamic double sequel to Shield of Justice and A Matter of Trust, Det. Sgt. Rebecca Frye struggles to return to duty after a near fatal shooting. Joining forces with enigmatic computer consultant J.T. Sloan, Rebecca accepts a temporary assignment with a Federal task force investigating an Internet child pornography ring.
Rebecca's obsession with finding her partner's killer and her involvement in the multi-jurisdictional investigation threaten both her life and her new relationship with Doctor Catherine Rawlings. When Catherine becomes professionally involved and an attempt on the life of a task force member ensues, the pursuit of justice becomes a deadly race against time
