(I really didnt like the book)
(Girls are back (they have never went away)!)   
(GREAT BOOK FOR ALL FANS!)    
(Re-tread fan)     Bought this book for my wife. She said there was more info in it about the actresses themselves than the characters or the show. Depends on what you are looking for I guess, my wife is more into the show than the real lives of the actors. It wasnt what I expected and it was really boring me and I am a BIG Golden girls fan!! Nice book for all true fans of the Golden Girls. Concentrates though too much on the "Girls" meaning in gay culture etc. trivial information. But even I as a devoted fan got a lot new information about the history and especially the creation of the show. I love the Golden Girls so when I heard about this book, I knew I had to have it! It's informative,fun, and a lot of laughs! I love this book! I used to watch "The Golden Girls" along with several other sitcoms. I really hadn't watched it in a while, but after reading this book, I am an energized fan! I loved all the trivia, backgrounds and insights on the characters, writing and the development of the show itself. This is a fun book to pick up and re-read. It is extremely well-written and layed out with lots of interesting sections and surprises. I highly recommend this one!
It's the classic TV sitcom-now finding a new generation of fans in reruns on Lifetime. Go behind the scenes withQ Guidesto find out just what it is about Dorothy, Blanche, Rose, and Sofia that so attracts both gay and young hetero fans.

(Captivating! For Straight Women. . For Once!)     This is a beautiful book printed on high quality paper. The substance is a little on the light side, but then again, this is more of a picture book than a how to book. I'd recommend the book to anyone who is generally interested in the subject matter (hetero girls getting together) and wants a pretty book of photography on that subject. This is the first (illustrated) book I've found which encourages love making between two hetero women - and it's utterly fantastic!
The cover photo - which resembles the timeless statue, "The Three Graces," by Antonio Canova -- was the first to catch my eye.
Once inside, I found the text to be both informative and poetic. Making love to each other is described in a very natural, matter-of-fact tone (with taboos only mentioned indirectly).
But it's easily the photos that are the most captivating. They are both breathtaking and sensual - without showing the most intimate places - or the most intimate contact (but pretty close).
The author teases us through all of the steps - starting with attraction (seeing other women as beautiful), the senses (touch, smell and taste), knowing thyself (masturbation), toys (getting things flowing), lips (for kissing everywhere first) and then tongues - as the key to girl/girl enjoyment (for both arousal and pleasure) -- and finally concluding with threesomes (not what you might think) and places (where to go online to meet others so inclined).
In two of my favorite photos, one depicts a girl being passionately kissed about her neck - while her friend slips her hand down the front of the girl's loosened jeans; and the second one captures the moment of discovery - as a pretty girl peeks under her friend's undies - as they are gently removed by two sets of hands. In later chapters, the young women are all nude - and the touching depicted is much more focused.
My favorite chapters - which were also the most instructional (and enthralling) - were those that dealt with oral sex. The author explains the power of the tongue for licking (and the benefits of kissing the same parts earlier) and how important it is to go slow - to allow your partner's arousal a chance to keep up.
Of special note, one of the later sections is entitled, "Three's Company," which is about having a threesome (duh!). Surprisingly, the ménage a trois suggested - is not with three women - but with a couple (male and female) and another girl. The author takes us through two points of view, 1) one being the woman in the couple, and 2) the other being the girl on the outside looking in. Each has its advantages.
Achieving a two-girl threesome - thus becomes another possible culmination for our same sex experiences - which is an idea I really liked. The difficulty of having a threesome, of course, is finding a single girl to play the third wheel - and helping her (or both women) to overcome their same sex inhibitions. Allowing women to "practice" by engaging in their own girl/girl experiences ahead of time is a great way to solve both problems. And as the author points out - making love to another female is also a great way for us to become more comfortable with our bodies - and with our sexuality as well!
The idea of loving other women before getting married (or having serious long-term relationship with guys) is not a new idea. The acronym, "LUG" for "Lesbians Until Graduation" demonstrates that girls may have already discovered this pleasurable experience for themselves.
To conclude, implicit in hetero women making love - is that doing so is not in competition with (nor is it a substitute for) making love with our men. I think of it as a very special and loving friendship. I hope that this beautiful tome, "Women Loving Women" signals - that we may have finally turned the corner. Please don't miss it.
Women Loving Womenexplores the phenomenon of the contemporary "bi-sexual" or "lesbian" experience for the heterosexual woman. However, while women loving women is indeed an emerging trend, it is also an age-old obsession that this book also addresses and places in a historical perspective. The book investigates the reasons modern women are more open to same-sex encounters, how these experiences can connect people and help them grow, and how regardless of one's sexual orientation, there is much to learn here about the nature of love, sex, and physical attraction and its unconscious determinants. In addition,Women Loving Womenalso responds to how these same-sex encounters are less apt to create conflict in their heterosexual relationships, and actually might spice things up with their male partner (many men fantasize about same-sex women relationships), break the ice with a best friend, or simply add a new dimension to their sexual history.Women Loving Womenfeatures sophisticated photographs that will capture the warm and enlightening approach of exploring erotic possibilities with other women, even when you don't identify yourself as a bisexual or lesbian. Testimonials from heterosexual women who have experienced same-sex romantic encounters will be featured throughout. Sidebars will also feature quotations from women-who-have-loved-women throughout history, such as Virginia Woolf, Simone de Beauvoir, Anais Nin, and Eleanor Roosevelt, amongst others. The photographs, shot on location in New Hampshire, tell a story of three beautiful women who leave their boyfriends/husbands behind for a "girls weekend"-and discover a new dimension to their friendship Rerations < Women Loving Women: Appreciating and Exploring the Beauty of Erotic Female Encounters >

(A Feel Good Story)    Relationships can be very damaging. If your partner tells you you're unattractive and leaves you for someone else, it tends to make you believe her words. Beth Chambers knows exactly how that feels, only her experience was worse because she found her lover having sex with another woman as if to emphasize the point. Beth isn't sure she'll ever trust another woman, but that's OK because she has Dudley. Beth may have no self confidence, but she knows Dudley loves her unconditionally. After all, that's what dogs do. Which is why, when Dudley gets away from her one day during his walk and Beth is sure he's chased his ball right into the river, she doesn't hesitate to plunge into the icy water fully clothed to save her friend. That's where Amy Fletcher finds her. Standing in the middle of the river, soaked to the skin, crying desperately as if her world has come to an end. Amy has only gone there because the handsome little dog with the ball in his mouth that ran into the café where she was having coffee was insistent that she follow him. In Beth's eyes, Amy has it all, beauty, personality, a good job, she's everything that Beth isn't. They might be friends, but nothing else could ever come from them spending time together. Even when the friendship begins to show signs of something else, Beth can't believe that she's worthy of someone like Amy or ready to trust herself in another relationship. What she doesn't know is that Amy has been hurt also and needs Beth just as much. It begins to look doubtful that the women will realize what is happening between them, but never underestimate the power of Dudley.
Once is a nice story about two women trying to learn how to trust again, which many women will be able to relate to. They have been hurt by the actions of someone they thought they were close to and looked for some fault in themselves to blame. Beth and Amy are sympathetic characters and their struggle to believe in each other has a ring of reality to it. They almost lose everything because they are afraid to say what they feel and take a risk, which is a situation many have experienced.
Once isn't a romance loaded with sex scenes, but it can be an enjoyable afternoon or evening spent watching these women work out their feelings. And then there's Dudley the scene stealer. Two lesbians and a cute dog. It's pretty difficult to go wrong with that
The 'leftovers' from Beth and Amy's past relationships take a toll on each of the women. Following an emotion filled meeting in the park, a friendship blossoms and grows. Will this new friendship give Beth the support that she needs to find her way back to the woman that she once was? Beth and Amy's story is a sweet love story. I like the characters very much. 'Whether you feel the victim or the offender, you might, in fact, be a little of both.' Once upon a time, there was a woman called Beth Chambers. She wasn't a princess, by any stretch of the imagination, nor did she live in a fairytale kingdom far far away. What she did have was a broken relationship, a broken spirit, and a shattered view of life. After four years in a destructive relationship, Beth decides enough is enough. Then she meets Amy Fletcher, the woman who has it all . the woman whom she believes would never want more than friendship. But what she fails to realise is that everything is relative, and there is definitely two sides to every story. Rerations < Once >

(Between Friends- A Joyfully Recommended Title)    
(A tale of perfect friendship between friends)    
(This one from Sean is all heart!)     This is the first Sean Michael book I've read and I really didn't know what to expect. He's certainly a competent writer. The characters are developed nicely and well-defined. The problem I had with the book was the constant explicit sex. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a prude and well-written sex scenes can certainly add to a work. However, the sex scenes out-weigh the plot and that's a problem. This is one of those cases where less is certainly more. We needed more plot development. The major conflict was never really dealt with. I found myself skimming through the sex scenes to get to more plot material. The book left me unsatisfied. That's a shame. It could have been a really good book. Samuel and Peter's move from their apartment to a real home has Samuel more than a little rattled. There are so many things that could go wrong and what if they aren't happy. The simple fact that their friends Harry and Jason live within walking distance of their new home is a huge bonus. Both couples are vastly different but they're the best of friends and have always been able to count on each other's support to get them through any crisis.
Samuel (a.k.a. Laffy) is often high-strung but Peter's dominance and mastery provides the grounding he needs and he couldn't be happier with anyone else. Once they're settled into their new home, it becomes apparent that all is not hunky-dory between Harry and Jason. Jason confides in Samuel that he is concerned over Harry's recent distraction. Luckily Harry and Peter are good friends so Harry has someone to express his worries as well as his reasoning for not sharing his concerns with Jason. Peter encourages Harry to talk to Jason and let him know what's going on, but Harry isn't willing to admit that he needs Jason's help to get through his upcoming ordeal.
As you read this book you'll wonder how you could possibly live without friends like these. They're there for each other through each ordeal and even egg each other on into doing some unexpectedly funny things like the spirited bowling team they form. The friendship between these two couples really struck a cord with me. They're honest with each other to the point where anger and laughter often combine to make these characters feel very real. Sean Michaels' BETWEEN FRIENDS goes beyond your normal one couple relationship stories . . . this book gives you two couples you'll love reading about and especially enjoy learning about their unique relationships - both as couples and simply as friends.
Chrissy Dionne (courtesy of Romance Junkies) Samuel and Peter are lovers. Their best friends Harry and Jason are also lovers. Sammy depends on Peter to keep him in line and Jason is the rock that helps Harry stay strong.
A horrific act changed Harry's life forever. Jase, Peter and Sammy helped him then, and when the past comes back to haunt him, it's his lover and friends that see him through once again.
The realism, characterization and storyline in Between Friends is amazing. Peter and Sammy, and Harry and Jase are perfectly paired. Harry's ordeal brought me to tears at times, especially at the end, but then they were happy tears. Between Friends is a poignant story with heartache, hot sex and incredible love.
Nannette reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed My new favorite from Sean, Between Friends, is the first book in the Between Friends series, a gorgeous story of two couples and four friends. Two couples who are distinctly different yet perfectly matched, connected by their strong bond of love and devotion for each other. Filled with intense, passionate moments of love and tender, heartfelt moments of friendship, this reads like four separate stories, twining together to create one tale of perfect friendship, between friends.
Samuel and Jason, friends since college confide in each other, giving the love and support of best friends. Harry and Peter, two strong men that have forged a friendship based on honesty and steadfast loyalty. Harry and Jason, have a comfortable and loving relationship, enduring and strong despite a traumatic event that threatens their happiness. Peter and Samuel, their love for each other intense and beautiful, are perfectly matched with their needs and desires.
Sean has outdone himself with this one, capturing the true essence of friendship and the healing power of love. The traumatic event that's shadowing Harry and Jason's relationship is past tense and off-stage. The story slowly reveals the past event, as well as the new event which is bringing back those painful past memories. This event isn't the focus of the story, as much as how it motivates the characters, the author concentrating more on their reactions and interactions.
There are so many warm, heartfelt scenes written into the story giving us insight into their individual personalities alongside the interconnecting relationships. Sammy has this overwhelming need to comfort with food, and when this guy's stressed, he cooks. Sammy's a delight when he's in full mother hen mode, and with the author deliciously detailing Sammy's kitchen creations, I wish Sean would have included a few recipes. But the bowling scene is my favorite of these moments, with the boys all decked out in their matching screaming pink bowling shirts. The dialog is full of playful banter and quite comical, their interplay exactly what I would have expected out of longtime friends.
For a character lover this novel is the ultimate indulgence. While there's plenty of delicious attention spent on the intimate encounters between the lovers, the focus of the story is definitely on the friends and their scenes of companionship. And when we are treated to the intimate encounters, each couple is given equal time. The author has promised that there are other novels, prequels, in the works for this series. I can hardly wait!
The second novel which is a prequel is available here: When Harry Met Jason
This story from Sean has the right balance between hot loving sex and emotional content. The 2 couples here are most appealing, a Dom with his caring and hyper Sub who swears and loves to cook, and a cop hunk with his loving professor. Peter and Sammy are of course into hot BDSM while Jase and Harry who have been together for a long time are the good old fashion but no less loving couple. These 4 men are very close friends and care for each other deeply. Their lives are marred by a terrible rape which happened to one of them. This story is all heart as it describes movingly and emotionally how each one deals with the ordeal while at the same time helping each other to heal. I love the chemistry and stirring interaction among the 4 guys and would love to read more about them. A great one from Sean about true friendship as much as about love. Two very different couples. Two very different lives. Yet somehow they manage to keep things between friends. Schoolteacher Jason and Harry the cop have a pretty good life together. Or at least they always have in the past. When Harry starts acting strangely, withdrawing from Jason and displaying bouts of mysterious anger, Jason starts to wonder if hes losing his hold on what he and Harry share. He turns to his friend Samuel, a college roommate, for a little moral support. Antique dealer Samuel has enough on his plate, buying a new house with his lover, Peter, and keeping up with their inventive love life. Luckily for Jason, Samuels lover, Peter, is also a good friend of Harrys. When Peter hears about the troubles between Harry and Jason, he forces Harry to confront his demons, and to give Jason the chance to help. Can Harry and Jason come to terms with secrets that might change their lives forever? With Samuel and Peters help, they just might, as they find out what friends are for, and what it means to let someone help share the load. Sean Michael creates a finely woven web of friendship, where two couples and two sets of friends become family, and where the intricate dance of everyday life comes alive in the most beautifulway.

(HOT HOT HOT: Give me MORE)    
(Can't wait for the sequel!!!)    
(Not what I expected or hoped for) 
(A refreshingly REAL read!)     This story was SOOOOOOO well written! I love this story from beg to end. I have NEVER read a book where I can relate to ALL the characters. I need the sequel like yesterday! I took the time to read the reviews of this book before purchasing. At first I thought, "Wow could a lesbian novel really be that good." I hate to say it but I hadn't read many that were. However I was shut up quickly after reading the first page. I like many others on here could not put the book down. It was like someone glued it to my hands. However shame on you for leaving us hanging like that in the end, where is the sequel????
I literally have a friend just like each one of the characters, I have about 5 friends like Cooley (shame i know).
Listen to me people, you want to get this book. No other lesbian novel has made me want to write a review on Amazon. No other lesbian novel has made me want to buy the sequel. No other lesbian novel has left me thinking about it for days after I read it.
I agree with one of the other reviews, Skyy should be up there with E. Lynn. She is the lesbain E. Lynn. It's been a while since I have read a lesbian book that I could actually relate too and feel like I know the characters. This book absorbs and immerses you in the lives of the characters. Read this book when you don't have any plans or anything to do because when you start reading, you will not stop. I read this book in one day, and I immediately went online to confirm that there was a sequel in the works. This is one for your lesbian book collection. Skyy is beyond talented, and I can not wait to read her next book!!! When I found out about his book I was extremely excited to see a narrative written about black lesbians by a black lesbian, however reading the actual book itself was a total disappointment. The first think that struck me was the number of typos (I personally counted 9 before I decided to stop counting them all together) that were in the copy of the book that I purchased at a college book signing by the author. The second disappoinment I had was with the actual story which for me lacked deep and multidemensional characters. Another was that it was full of mundane and ho-hum language that made reading it an elementary and repetative experience. I think the most shocking and hurtful disappointment that I had with this book was the compulsatory heteronormativity of all the relationships expressed in the novel. Although I am happy to see a black lesbian drama/love story novel on the market, I am still waiting for one that I am proud to have in my own library and to reccomend to others. Skyy had a great idea with her first book but it completely lacked the quality that it would need to be seriously considered as anything more than a nice try. Let's hope that the sequel, which is currently in the works, has a little more careful consideration in the editing process. I've been hunting down this book in Canada for ages. It was sooo worth the wait. The book is amazing. What surprised me most of all was how real it felt. I felt like I saw Cooley before...as if she was one of the girls in my own school. I fel that way about all of them.
Skyy created characters who all ring true. There aren't many books about young, black lesbians in the setting of a university. This may actually be the first one. So hats off to Ms. Skyy for possibly making history and setting a standard for writers to come. READ THIS BOOK. You will not put it down until you're through! Set on the campus of Freedom University, a historically black college in Memphis, Tennessee, the lives and choices of four women are intertwined. Sexy and smart, Lena Jamerson has her whole life planned out for her. The daughter of two of Freedom s most prominent alums, it is a given that she will fulfill her Chi Theta Legacy as well as become engaged to NBA-bound Brandon Redding, or is it? With wealth, prestige and a beautiful body she could choose anything ... even someone new. Denise the reserved women's basketball champion has no time for dating. Her only choices are grades, game and becoming the first in her family to graduate, until a sexy stranger enters her life, causing her to reconsider her options. Playa of another flava, Cooley sparks curiosity of her own with women on both sides of the orientation fence. Will the choices of her past prevent the romance of her future? Meanwhile, Carmen's choices have given her a new exterior and a new lease on life. Can her sexy new shape get her into Chi Theta and a new romance? Or will the same internalized insecurities keep her from finding the love she deserves? In the school of life and love, what choices would you make? Rerations < Choices >

Usually ships in 24 hours customer 's review (Every newly out guy should have this book)   
(Excellent book)     Yes, this book deals a lot with baggage issues, but it will help you work through your issues and get a better understanding of why gay men flake out etc. This is a great 'intro to being gay' book. Although I've been out for a few years, I'd still recommend it to anyone who wants to better themselves for a relationship.
Another valuable piece of info herein is the 3 stages of a relationship, which is important if you have one or get one and treasure it enough to make it work. Joe tells the stories of numerous clients to make his points, so that keeps it interesting. I'm very much not a reader, but I highly recommend this book! I've been doing workshops for a men's group here in New York and this book as well as Mr. Kort's previous text have been excellent resources. Not only the scenarios but the root causes of why men develop as they do in relationship to their sexuality are excellent. The referencing to Erik Erikson and Harville Hendrix (tests I also utilize) as well as the specific application of the tomes to activities and insights is stellar. What surprise dme most about the book was how it balanced accessible language and yet was able to present enough psychological/psychiatric/therapeutic language/technique for the lay person to understand. A lot of the "why's" about men and sexuality and actions and integrity or lack thereof was answered. One of the things I constantly do in my groups now is remind the men how they were socialized as boys, how it was enforced/beaten out of them not to portray their sexuality or sexual thoughts/interests and how this indoctrination carries over and manifests itself in adult life. You can literally watch the lightbulbs of enlightenment go off in the heads of the men as they start to link simple things like sit still, don't flounce, don't sigh, don't cry, don't whine, don't, don't don't---in order to be masculine/a "man" to being what caused a lot of confusion. What happens to someone who's identity is constantly challenged, taunted, corrected---they adopt an identity that is pleasing to the masses, however they are then thrust into a society where the two identites--one false and one repressed are incongruous and therefore enter into a lifestyle that has very few mature standards/practices. Suddenly men make sense! I've already gone on to Mr. kort's site and plan on finding a way to travel across the country to attend his workshops and I have made both of his books a staple in my workshops and college level classes. If you're stuck in bad dates, bad relationships, unhappy with your lifestyle's results, confused about what to do now that you've declared a sexuality, this book is key in helping the normal person "feel normal" abotu their identity. One day this and perhaps half a dozen books will be prescribed in schools around teh country to not simply help men (and women) figure out this nebulous/variable area of sexuality (sexual orientation and sexual behaviour two entire different things) to the point of identity satisfaction. My only criticism of the book would be that it had another 200 pages in it that could've been created to outline more couples/individuals to illustrate a variety of issues. Ok, that would make it easier for me to break it down for others and teach but the intellectual density of this book made me want to have some parts that were snippets and could be used outside of the larger chapters.
The author of the best-selling10 Smart Things Gay Men Can Do to Improve Their Livesturns his attention to the burning question of love. "There are few books for gay men on not only what to look for in Mr. Right but how to become Mr. Right. My book will address both. It is not just about finding him, it is what you do after you find him," says author Joe Kort. A certified Imago Relationship Therapist, Kort has employed the ideas put forth by Imago founder Harville Hendrix to transform the lives and relationships of the countless gay couples he has worked with in 20 years of private practice. In "Your Sexual Shadow," one of his new book's 10 life-altering chapters, Kort unveils a surprising and groundbreaking idea that explores how decoding sexual fantasies can often unlock the mystery to what gay men are looking for in a partner and why. This will be particularly elucidating to men who have been conditioned to believe their sexual fantasies are an obstacle to long-term relationships. How can the secret logic of "dark" sexual desires help you find Mr. Right? "So many of my clients say they have to get better before they find Mr. Right," reports Kort. "I think that is often a reason to avoid relationships and simply not true." His new book is a practical guide to set gay men on the path to true love today. Joe Kortis a therapist in private practice since 1985, specializing in gay-affirmative psychotherapy as well as Imago Relationship Therapy, which is a specific program involving communication exercises designed for couples to enhance their relationship and for singles to learn relationship skills. His first book,10 Smart Things Gay Men Can Do to Improve Their Lives, was a national gay and lesbian bestseller. Rerations < 10 Smart Things Gay Men Can Do to Find Real Love >

(Nice story, great sex)   
(EXCITING)    
(Not enough umph!) 
(Captivating and fun)     This book is so touching and realistic. I love this writer's style of writing. You will be drawn to this book the minute you start. I read this whole book in one day by accident because I just couldn't put it down. It is very suspenseful and detailed. This is a must in any woman's library to have. I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone. The main characters took a little time to gel for me, but by the middle of the book, I could see them more fully realized. Carmen was fully fleshed out and was an attractive character. Judith took a bit for me to warm to, but her personality was slower to emerge. The love story was good and their sex scenes were delightful. Like some other reviewers, I also wanted more closure to the ending. It was just too abrupt for me. But I enjoyed the book, nonetheless. THIS WAS THE FIRST BOOK I HAVE READ OF KG MACGREGOR AND I HAVE TO SAY IM HOOKED ! I LIKE THE WAY SHE TAKES HER TIME FOR THE TWO MAIN CHARACTERS, CARMEN AND JUDITH TO MEET AND ROMANCE EACH OTHER.YOU GET TO READ ABOUT BOTH THEIR FAMILIES AND GROUPS OF FRIENDS, SO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU KNOW ALL ABOUT THEIR LIVES.I WOULD RECOMMEND ALL OF KG MACGREGORS BOOKS AS THEY ARE SO WELL WRITTEN, NOT RUSHED, SHE TAKES TIME FOR YOU TO REALLY UNDERSTAND THE CHARACTERS AND HOW THEY'VE GOT TO THIS PLACE IN THERE LIVES.LOVED IT Out of Love left me a little cold. There wasn't enough meat there in terms of plot...very little actually happens, and while the author is trying to develop the characters by providing many boring day-to-day details of their lives, it ends up being just plain...boring. The two main characters also "fall in love" too fast. Initially they are intrigued and curious about each other and then too quickly realize they're in love. The relationship between Carmen and her best friend Brooke was annoying. Brooke is a weak person who is always crying to Carmen about her marriage woes. She gives nothing back to Carmen and yet Carmen has somehow secretly been in love with this selfish, one-dimensional woman for years. So this part didn't ring true without a lot more development of their relationship. Overall, the book was predictable and a little on the boring side, although the writing style is decent and the humor is better than average. The mark of a professional writer is that each book is better than the last. KG McGregor has, in my opinion, consistently grown as a storyteller. It's always nice to read a book that's cleanly written, with just enough twists and turns to keep you guessing, but not so many that you lose your way.
KG has created fun, interesting and thoughtful characters who pull you into the story. The women are adults in every way. They know who they are and what they want. They may be thwarted sometimes, but not because of wishy-washy personalities or fake conflicts. These people try to live their lives honorably and honestly, and, in my view, that's relatively rare in a lot of fiction.
I got six solid hours of pleasure from reading this book, and, since it cost about a much as a first-run movie, that's quite a bargain. And I can read it again without anyone noisily eating popcorn next to me.
So, I not only recommend the book, I recommend skipping the next big-budget, plot-starved action movie and diving into this well-crafted tale. You'll definitely get your money's worth. Clients and coworkers know Carmen Delallo, owner and CEO of a Chicago consulting firm for the travel industry, as a smart, engaging woman driven to succeed in business by a genuine love of her work.
Judith O'Shea is focused on her work too. Born and raised in Brooklyn, she makes do in a small studio apartment in Chelsea, wondering how she will salvage a livelihood in a dying field. Career motives take a back seat when she finds herself falling hard for the enigmatic Carmen Delallo.
For Carmen Delallo and Judith O'Shea, falling in love proves to be the easy part. Separated from Carmen by miles, economic class, and a duty to care for her family, Judith won't allow herself to imagine her life fulfilled. And Carmen, whose secret, unrequited love for her married best friend has compelled her to devote her life to her work, must break both addictions before her love for Judith can flourish.
