This one was cute. I’m sure it was difficult writing a sequel to such an amazing book, The Brutal Truth. It definitely doesn’t reach the same altitude as TBT did for me but still excellent. If you liked TBT, you’ll like this one.

I honestly think this was one of the best narration jobs I’ve heard from Dawe. She is so good, it’s always difficult to listen to another narrator after one of her books.



Lee Winter is my favorite author in the game. Her stories are addicting and extremely precise. The attention to detail is what I love. Not a majority of the text dedicated to MCs thoughts. I hate when an MC in a book spends too much time on their thoughts… going on and on about what they’re thinking and not enough dialogue between characters. Lee Winter is masterful with her words that I am always super engaged.

The book was okay, I can’t believe I finished it, it was not my thing whatsoever. Big thing is it reads like the author is in high school. Not only is the story about high schoolers it sounds like it’s written by one. The words lulz and jelly as in jealous, and “wheels” are spoken. Very YA. I don’t mind YA, but I suppose I prefer a more mature tone? This book was too sunshine and rainbows. Nothing heavy, no angst, just so very cheesy.

I’m 35 if that helps. :/

Lee winter and Angela Dawe is perfection. Lee winter absolutely destroyed the rest of the lesfic books in existence for me. She reset my expectations and I can’t find fulfillment in other authors anymore. I’m not being hyperbolic, it’s the truth. She’s that good. While this book wasn’t as fantastic as The Brutal Truth or Requiem for Immortals, I blew through it in a day. There’s a great premise, character development and story. It lacked the heat of the two aforementioned books, but it was plenty entertaining. I hope Lee Winter sticks with Dawe in the future, I didn’t enjoy the red files series and Changing the Script as much as I would have had Dawe Narrated. The woman who narrates Requiem was the exception, that book is perfection.

Purchase this book without regard, it’s fantastic.

I haven’t finished yet 6 hours left) but I figured I’d write to perhaps warn people? This book is long yes but my biggest issue is the sheer amount of internal dialogue the main characters have. The author describes what the POV character is saying 85% of the time. It grades on you after a while. I almost quit this book when one of the characters has a lengthy discussion with herself about underwear. Should she wear sexy ones, what does it mean if she does, what the other character might think etc etc.

I love the premise of this book, I enjoy politics, but if it’s not your thing definitely skip this one.

Also, no one has mentioned in their reviews yet about the beginning of the book. It starts with a lot of messaging back and forth on a dating app. Not a biggie, but every single message prefaces with NAME, TIMES STAMP and then the message. Every single one. This goes on for a while and I almost quit. It doesn’t however go on as long as I was expecting. Thankfully.

Lori Prince is one of my faves but her voice comes across as whiny a lot of the time, especially when the person talking is Reagan.

Sutton’s character sounds like a teenager a lot of the time and that detracts from my enjoyment.

This book is a YA novel in my opinion. The characters are older than that but their actions are young like at times, especially Sutton.

It’s not a terrible book, I’d say if you have some time to kill it’s for you. If you’re a bit older and picky with lesfic, I’d say pass this one.

Spoilers.

I thoroughly enjoyed this boom until about 2/3 through, it was entertaining but then something switched. The excruciatingly slow burn romance part started to drag on and on. I enjoy a slow burn but this one was a bit dragged out. The protagonists lady has this sister who became ridiculously annoying and tried to force a man upon her. It was like 30 minutes Gerri could have cut out or spared for the INSANELY RUSHED ENDING. I got whiplash, at one moment I’m inwardly groaning that the two women were still dancing around the issue having kids interrupting their first kiss and the next thing I realize the book is had 15 minutes left. The amount of time dedicated to the crucial plot points were so rushed and the flashbacks and work stuff (that part was actually interesting) were the bulk of the book. This is my first Gerri Hill book in a hot minute and I honestly enjoyed it more than most of that isnt obvious but I guess I wanted more dedicated to Kaye. She really wasn’t a big part of the book. Her coming out was the denouement the story yet it took 5 minutes of audio at the end. Grrrrr.

Abby craden was great as per usss

This book is like a warm hug. A romantic movie, romantic comedy all of the things. I know about nothing about fashion, but this book doesn’t beat you over the head with it. There’s no stereotypical (at least in most LesFics) breakup that makes absolutely no sense besides lengthening the book. I hate those. Lee winter usually strays from that nonsense. This is a slow burn through and through with excellent side characters. Angela Dawe’s French, American, Australian accents were perfect as well. Lee Winter made the absolute perfect choice in narrator. I am glad I listened to this instead of read, Dawe is that fantastic. She brightens the story.

Seriously, this book will ruin lesfics for you. Lee Winter will. There is no match to her story telling. It spans continents and time. The only book that can follow this one in my opinion is Requiem, also by Winter.

I’m mad at myself for taking months to give this (FREE) series a shot. Since wasting an entire weekend reading season one, I have heard all 5 seasons and still can’t get enough. I’ve even listened/read a lot of Harper Bliss’ novels. I did not enjoy the Pink Bean series, so if anyone else is in the same boat as me, don’t worry. This series is fantastic. Im 33 and had no issues getting excited and addicted to a series about 35-50+ years old women.

In season 4 there was one couple I couldn’t stomach tho, and that was Zoe and her grandmother aged gf. The Aussie accent graded on my nerves and I cannot get into such an older lady’s sex life. Other than that this entire series is a must for any lesbian romance fan.

Favorite character has to be Nadia. What I wouldn’t do for a woman like that. Minus the dominating sex I like 50-50, but I digress.... Read this series y’all.

Since I am one of the first people to review this book, I feel it is my responsibility to warn all of you out there who are Georgia Beers and/or Lori Prince fans to stay away from this one.

Spoilers ahead y’all...
Iif I didn’t know, I would’ve thought this book was released in 2001. The plot is so 1999. The big drama in this movie is so stereo typical that it’s almost embarrassing as a lesbian to read it. The big problem with these two main women getting a HEA is... one is famous (which they don’t really go into much detail about her celebrity i forgot multiple times she was famous) and her manager is a lesbian. The famous one is in the closet even though there is no mention of her sexuality or any flirting or any kind of link between the two characters prior to them sleeping with each other.

Oh and the one “huge, sexy, romantic” moment is on a small bed in one of the girls’ parents house on thanksgiving, with her whole entire family under the same roof. So frickin unsexy...

This is not a slow burn romance, this is two girls just chatting with each other for over half the book. They talk about mundane, and very boring things, then they have to sleep on a bed together and wake up in the middle of the night and start making out. Despite there is no talking about it prior, no indication that either of them liked each other. Ok, there was probably a couple mentions about how one or the other internally discussed how attractive the other one was. There’s literally no flirting in this book, chemistry, no romance, no slow burn, nothing. This book is so vanilla it makes my freaking ears hurt. I really wish I could get my money back but at least I got to listen to Lori Princes’ voice for a few hours. Even though it’s one of her worst performances. If anybody knows/loves Lori Prince, listen to the sample audio, notice she sounds bored reading it.

The huge conflict! 🙄🙄
“Did it mean anything to you, our night together?” –Sophie, the celebrity character to Diana, her manager, directly after Sophie does the most stereotypical lesbian action of all, spying on the other chics phone.
That’s the moment. The climatic moment of this book. Also the first time the two protagonists even mention sleeping together that one time.

I love Abby, usually enjoy Beers but this book was so awful I had to double check that I read it correctly. After looking at other reviews on other sites I realized that I was not alone in being disgusted with one of the MCs and the whole entire book. The one mc I refer to practically rapes one of the the other mcs. The big butchy les who hates the beautiful icy boss character and harbors feeling for 25 years for the sweet naive assistant of said boss. The boss and assistant like each other cuz duh. The almost rape scene is so pathetic I have to warn you people. The butch finally tell her bestie (the assistant) of her feelings by taking advantage of her while she’s drunk and emotional. The woman says no more than once and even feels bad for her at the end of the novel. This book is utter trash. Trust me.

I’ve read (listened) to plenty of lesbian fiction romances and this one takes the cake as the cutest. It’s cheesy sure. It’s also witty and addicting. I found myself actually laughing and grinning throughout the entire book. If you want a cute romantic comedy that involves two adorable women then look no further. Throw your judgement aside and just enjoy an absolutely angst-free romance. I wish this was a movie. I sincerely mean that. A mainstream romantic comedy. Read this book. The narrator sounds young yes but it didn’t bother my 33 year old ears.
