Summary: What A Great Story!
Review: Once again, Laura DeHart Young has written a superb, enjoyable novel! I especially loved the character names the wonderfully surprising ending. It's hard to find lesbian romance novels that are of this calibur. This author is someone that is quite talented. I hope she continues to write for many years to come!

Summary: Could Have Been Better
Review: The story is good, but the book is disappointing. Meg Rhyland discovers she might have a half-brother who is entitled to half of her inheritance. She investigates to determine if his story is true. This is where the good stops and the disappointing begins due to erratic plot lines.

For instance, Meg is investigating this man on her own then suddenly meets with private investigator, Susan, at a restaurant. Although the back cover talks about a PI, her abrupt appearance is confusing. What helped Meg decide to hire her? What is her background? How did she find her?

Another disconnect is Meg's relationship with her lover Kit. Is Kit straight or gay? What does Kit's sister have to do with the story? What is the point of Kit's alcoholism? How does this add to the main story line? If Meg is truly devoted to Kit, why does she turn to Susan?

This is a well-written book, but the asides are distracting. Young missed a true opportunity here.

Summary: Wow! Get your fill of intrigue...
Review: This book is a wonderfully written book with many twists and turns in the story line. It definately is not what I'm used to reading. This is my second Laura Dehart Young book. I enjoyed them both. However, it's length left me feeling happy that I bought this book used. Pretty short. But worth what I paid for it. (Approx. half price)

Summary: What A Great Story!
Review: This book was really entertaining. I liked the setting (in Nantucket)and the characters seemed very genuine. They were strong women and I liked that. The plot was well developed and you could get a sense of the characters and what they were all about. The book is a mystery romance adventure and there are all kinds of twists and turns if you like that kind of book. The ending surprised me a lot. The only complaint I have is that the story ended too soon. I wished the book had been longer.

Summary: Wonderful and Crazy
Review: This book was so much fun to read. I wished the book could have been longer! The charecters were very real and the storyline were very believable. I will defiantely tell others about this book! I was disapointed in Kit, but the outcome really was for the best..I really liked Susan. I was in suspense until the end...I liked not being able to figure out the book before I read it! This is a wonderful book!
