2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the read, November 29, 2007

Tobi, a doctor, and Ryan, a police officer, spend most of their time telling each other how they want each other but then agreeing that they must wait. I found myself skipping pages because I had read the same theme so many times I could not take it anymore. I found the writing to be too predictable, choppy, and frankly immature. I could not believe that there were readers who gave this one a five. They obviously have not read books by Radclyffe, Black, Vali, Good, Hill, Herring...just to name a few outstanding lesbian writer. This book will be passed on.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, especially as a first title., August 9, 2007

By	V. Meredith Toenjes (Kansas City, KS USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is listed as a "romantic thriller". It is a lesbian romance novel. There is a bit of a mystery involved. No, it's not likely that anything in this book is a great surprise but overall it kept me reading, the characters were believable and likeable and the writing was well done. I did finish the whole book and found it to be an enjoyable read. No, there's not going to be any great intellectual puzzles but if you're looking for a bit of escapist fiction, I don't think this book will let you down. Overall, an author I'd be happy to see more from.

1.0 out of 5 stars The cover is a lie. It's not romantic or thrilling. Horrible, December 9, 2008

By	lesbian fiction for escape (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews

When I bought this book K Johnson had the only review and it was a 5. Had I read any of the other reviews I could have saved myself some misery. I don't know why I have this sick need to finish a book I've started. I need to get help for that.
As mentioned in another review, they spend a bunch of time making out and talking about their attraction to each other but they always stop before anything happens. I'm pretty sure that they are living together for months before they finally have sex. Now that I think about it I guess they could count that as suspense.
The cop is a whimp who is always crying about how Stacey left her for another woman after they were together for 2 years. Let me open the book and very quickly find an example of how bad it was. (took me about 5 seconds to find one. Here ya go:
Why can't you accept that she isn't another Stacey?
I never said she was.
Come on you know that's exactly what was going through your mind last night.
No that is not what was going through my mind.
Well than Sergeant Smarty Pants, why don't you enlighten me?
For your information, I was just concerned that I always seem to mess things up.
You are afraid to open yourself up to Tobi because you know it would hurt like a son of a bitch if she were to leave you.
It's just... what I feel for her is so different than anything I've ever felt before.
BLAH BLAH BLAH. If the character is hurting make me feel it, don't just write out. I felt like I was reading the book she wrote as some kind of therapy.
