About time someone, who better than a dyke, should expose the issue of DV in our community. This book is great because it exposes a topic that too many of us perfer to keep hush hush. It's great because it has an intelligent plot and its great because its a sexy read. Great mix.

This book opened my eyes to the situation of same gender DV.

I had 'heard' about it, but it's only while I was turning the pages that it really hit me that women are not exempt from violent mood swings and neither are we, lesbians. If you're in it just for the sexy bits, there's plenty of that 2.

Tamara and Emilie are the women in love.

The DV moments are about laurel and melissa. There's also Jill and whats-his-name, the husband. Nothing sexy there. just life as it is for many of us.

Hard-hitting because of the issue highlighted = hetero and same sex DV.
Sexy because the
- great sexual tension,
- frustration,
- surrender,
- layered love scene between Tam and Emilie (the best I've ever come across)
Relevant because of all of the above.
Great read.

Risking-me is really about 2 of the 3 things I most worry about: one is my fear is of ever repeating abusive patterns as I've known them for most of my life.
The other is of putting my emotional self at risk. So, I can say that I found that novel very relevant.
Besides, there's a sex scene in there that set up from the beginning, but ... if you're patient, it'll come to you as a delicious reward. Very sexy.
