Breaking Away

Summary: Loved It!
Review: I didn't think I would like this one, but I was wrong. Very powerful characters. Open and honest emotions filled with spark. The author did a wonderful job of capturing the essence of relationships. How love changes us, how it makes us vulnerable, and how its all worth every bit of trial. It addresses lesbian parenting issues well and is very rich in bantering humor. I was drawn into the story and I didn't want to see it end.

Summary: Two books in one
Review: This is definitely a deal because you get two books under one cover. I read a lot of lesbian literature and this ranks as one of the better ones produced in recent years. It features another Xena couple, tall, dark and brooding and small, blonde and talkative, but the story is told so well, that it's not as distracting as in some of the books. Lacey is the right hand "man" to a Mafia type boss and meets Rachel, who has a dark past herself. The two books tell how they try to build a life together, solve mysteries and separate themselves from Lacey's criminal background. The second book is actually the better one as far as plot and story development. Unfortunately, I remember reading that the author died from cancer, so this is her only work, but she left behind a very good work.
