Robin
Alexander has refined the straight-girl-falls trope into a fine art.
Stuck
in the airport, caught in a snowstorm, Lena Vaughn has to find shelter
for the duration it would take for flights to resume. She offers similarly stranded,
but less equipped to handle the disaster, Jorie Andolini, help with
finding shelter. The two women find rooms in the same hotel and spend time
together. Early on straight Lena knows Jorie is gay but enjoys the company,
while navigating a way to ensure that Jorie doesn’t get any ideas about her.
Their chances of flying back are slim, so they rent a car to make the trip back
home. There is more sharing, bickering, arguing, laughter and bonding between
the two on the way back.
Once
they return home and to their individual lives, Lena finds herself missing
Jorie. With a little help and push from her brother, Lena takes the plunge to
explore her inexplicable draw towards Jorie.
Thankfully,
Alexander’s books do not follow the tendency to bring in angst into a perfectly
well-developing romance. So this is an angst-free romance with typical OTT
crazy relatives that this author specialises in.
This
is a funny, lovely romance. Excellent read.
