I"m almost always a little worried (at the back of my mind at least) when one of a novels' characters is a fic writer. I worry that I'll be so distracted by the question of 'Is this author-meta or just a story'. Thankfully for the most part I got so engrossed in the story that I didn't ask myself that question during the reading of this book.

It was the story of Gard, a veterinarian in VT with a past that she wants to keep in the past, and Jenna, a writer (also known by her pen name, Cassandra) who also has a different sort of past and wants to keep it there.

Their lives collide when a relative Jenna didn't know about dies, leaving her estate to Jenna. At the same time Jenna gets told by a Doctor that she has to slow down or something worse than faiinting could happen. So Jenna goes to VT to finalize the estate and sparks fly between she and Gard right from the beginning.

I have to say that the title deeked me a little. I was expexting something quite different based on it. Instead it was a very cool, down to earth story line that I got quite caught up in. I also liked the Rina/Alice stuff, a fun little surprise subplot in the novel.

The only thing that was quite jarring was the end. It seemed very, very rushed compared to the rest of the book. Still, a nice Lesbian Romance. ( )
