⭐⭐⭐⭐
Kathryn Hawthorne has been burnt in love and wants to play
it safe by avoiding all emotional entanglements. Pam Phillips is recently
widowed after twenty-one years of loveless marriage.
The death of her husband feels like freedom to Pam, who
takes up a job in a high-end boutique store as a first step to rediscovering
herself. Kathryn comes to the store and is utterly captivated by Pam…who is
straight. On a whim, Kathryn leaves her number with the tip card. Serendipitously,
a chance conversation with her best friend, Judy, eggs Pam to make a call to
Kathryn leading to a coffee date.
Things take off from there between the two women, neither of
whom is ready for a relationship with the other for their own reasons.
This is really a story about Pam and her self-discoveries
and growth. Her relationship with Kathryn is the catalyst for her changes and
the relationship is written so well that the reader feels every emotion with
the two women. This is a lovely tingles-down-your-spine kind of romance,
written lovingly…almost like this is how the author wishes her love story to
have been.
This is an excellent read…for the romance and also for the
single, rather nicely detailed sex scene (the rest of the sex is implicit…but
still wonderful).
