Jo E. Meyertons

Gerry Hill is a great writer, but...

Revisado: 06-15-21

I thought this story started well and moved along reasonably well but the characters were a little too two-dimensional for me. Our protagonist was meek and obedient for years while our "bad guy" character was never really filled out. The ending seemed satisfying but a little too abrupt - an epilogue would have been nice.

Lots of problems, disappointing and boring

Revisado: 03-11-21

Problems in this book include lots of intrusive "advice" from various side characters that just feels annoying, the weird way the book seems to accuse the woman who broke up with the cheater of abandonment and of somehow being against the kid, the trans character who seems to be a pointless add on who adds zero of any interest to the story, and the fact that hardly anything ever really happens because we are mired in so much dull repetition.

Seriously, the only thing I liked about it is the description of the food the father cooked. It's too bad, because the premise had promise. I like the idea of reunions and second chances, I love lesbian love stories, etc. - but this was just bad.

Too formulaic.

Revisado: 10-23-20

You've read this one before, probably several times. I found the kids annoying, to the point where I started skipping ahead, and the adult protagonists didn't seem very mature to me. At least, I expect women who are old enough to have children that age to be more confident.

Irritating

Revisado: 10-08-20

The characters aren't very likeable and I hate any story that has women rooting for other women to have a double mastectomy.

This one hits all the notes

Revisado: 07-07-20

I love strong lesbian characters, I love sexy romance and I love well written imaginative stories that make me think. Praise for Noyes for gifting us all with a book that hits all of these notes, and praise for Abby Craden for voicing it so perfectly. This one was so good I listened to it twice in a row because I didn't want it to end, and the ending was just what I needed. A true original!

Overall good, with flaws

Revisado: 04-07-20

It drags a bit here and there. We don't really need to hear the mundane details of what people did in their day. I think at times this story is hot and interesting and others rather dull. I wish the authors of these books would understand that lesbians don't gushingly support every single queer trend out there - in this case, drag queen reading hour at the children's library. Very strange to stick that in a lesbian romance and something that concerns me quite deeply in real life.

Whole lotta angst for no sex

Revisado: 02-20-20

This book includes a ridiculous amount of phone calls and yearning, but very little action. There's not even much soccer description. It's otherwise well written - it just frustrates because it goes nowhere.

Pretty good, if kind of cringe inducing

Revisado: 01-28-20

Lots of dom/sub sex in this that starts with prostitution, so it made me cringe more than once, yet the story moves along and ends strong.

Nothing but despair

Revisado: 12-26-19

Avoid this book if you are skirting any sort of depression. One terrible tragedy after the next. Hated it, dropped it halfway through.

Annoying

Revisado: 12-26-19

The story line could have been hot, but the author seems to be aggressively pushing some sort of they/them agenda. Easily half the book is spent on the Z character, who, although often present, gets spoken about in the 3rd person so they/them can be used at every possible opportunity. It made the attraction between the two main characters seem almost irrelevant, and that's a shame. Using the singular they/them needs to die; it is confusing and distracting to the reader.
