Summary: A wonderful story with a major writing flaw
Review: LJ Maas has created a wonderful story that was well worth the box of Kleenex it took to get through it. The characters are so real, as are the fears, that it's hard to put the book down. I loved the book with one major exception. I don't know who decided that lesbian fiction should ignore names and instead lean heavily on such worn out descriptions such as "the tall dark haired woman said," or "she kissed the short blonde." The characters have names, for gosh sakes! After wading through multiple, physically descriptive euphemisms for names on page after page, it really, for me, detracted from the story. LJ Maas, like Radclyffe, tells a great story, but this one flaw is why I'll probably never buy another book from either author. A 5 story with a 3 writing convention. Recommendation: Conditional Buy (4).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One word: Awesome
Review: My favorite of LJ's works! This was the first story from LJ Maas that I found on the internet, and I read it at least twice in that first weekend. I was thrilled when I realized it was in print, and received my own copy - what a gift! - and it is now dog-eared and very well-loved. The characters are amazing and so easy to connect with, the writing it excellent, and this is just one of her books.

The friendship that sparks between Taylor and Torrey comes right off the page. You'll find yourself smiling at their banter, tearing up at the hard times, and wanting to shake some sense into them more than once. Through flashbacks that show the development of these characters, LJ takes you along for the ride as they grow - both individually and together, and you are left feeling as though you've known them for years. It is a sign of a great author when you get to the end, close the book, and sigh with a smile.

You will not be disappointed... this is the type of wonderful reading to keep you up late at night, wanting to read just one more page, and before you know it, it's two o'clock in the morning and you've finished it! So what do you do? You start over and read it again.

None So Blind is worth a read or two... all right, so at least four or five.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome
Review: This is one of my favorite books. The characters are so believable and alive, and it's a treat falling in love with them as youngsters only to realize that they're both so much better when they get older. The yin-yang symbol is so perfect for them and they compliment each other so well.

The story is that of two friends who need to grow up before realizing that the love they feel for each other is real and durable. It's a story that tells us that love for a child has nothing to do with biology. And most of all, it tells us that true love exists, and it does conquer everything.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Reading
Review: This is one of the best lesbian fiction books I have ever had the priviledge to read. The characters are compelling keeping you reading from the very start. Unlike most romances, although I was sure of a happy ending, I spent the entire time wondering what was going to happen next. I read this book yesterday in 5 hours and I'm already re-reading it again today. Definately worth the wait.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best of LJ Maas
Review: This is without a doubt my favorite LJ Maas story, although Rebecca's Cove is a close second. The author deals with the reality of addiction and its affects on family. Throughout the story you can feel the deep loving bond between the two main characters, Taylor and Torrie, even if it takes them forever to figure it out.

My recommendation? Buy it. Read it. Read it again. I still love the story after multiple reads. A must have lesbian romance.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A wonderful story
Review: This story captivated me from beginning to end. It takes us through two women's lives from their days as college roommates, and into their late 30's. LJ Maas weaves a beautiful tale of friendship and love. I highly recommend this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good to the last page!!
Review: This was a great book. It grasped the real meaning of friendship, family and love. I was hooked from the first
page to the last, I never really wanted the story to end.

We all hope to find a love and friendship as rare as Torrey and Taylor's. A bind that was so great neither one of them wanted to give in to the real thing that held them together love.
