Book Description:
Ellen Webster, professor of history, can't help but fantasize about her next door neighbor Kate Foster- after all, she sees her on the evening news every night.

Sexy and smart, Kate is Ellen's dream girl, but the dynamic TV newscaster doesn't know she exists. Struggling with a steadily worsening self-image and at a loss as to how to turn her life around, Ellen decides to take time out to finish the book she has always wanted to write. But a rainy night and near-tragedy changes everything when Kate is involved in an automobile accident and turns to Ellen for help. Withdrawing from the world, Kate comes to depend upon Ellen for far more than she realizes-until the day Ellen tells her that she is leaving on sabbatical.

Ellen and Kate's journey takes them beyond the transitory nature of external beauty and into the heart of what is meaningful in a relationship, the inner beauty of each other.

- hot
good summer romance read!!...loved it... this is the second book I have read from
KI Thompson... love this author so far!

- I admit, predictable *possible spoiler*
I admit. This story is "predictable". But then again, every lesbian romance is. The characters go through a series of obstacles to finally come together. However, the truth is, we read and/or write stories to see where the journey takes us. We've all started something, so clearly knowing the result, only to wonder, how the hell we'll get there. I enjoyed seeing the obstacles the characters go through, the things they have to overcome in order to succeeed together. Beautiful story, heartwarming. Probably will not make it into the literary cannon, but definately made it into my heart.

- Enjoyable read on the beach......
Being my first book of KI Thompson's I enjoyed the story line. I thought the characters were well developed and had very believable situations. The self-esteem issues on both characters were refreshing (we all can't be buff and strong like some lesbian characters get portrayed, though there is nothing wrong with buff and strong....... :-)..but just nice to see some true portrayal of body image. I enjoyed the story line and especially liked the references to the civil war as research. I thought both characters were well written and the lesson, things can be overcome and true love can be found when looking beyond the surface of our outer beauty, was good - looking forward to more from this author.

Rating:

- A good effort
I was a little disappointed in this one, as I thought "House of Clouds" was much better written. I appreciate the effort to develop two characters with serious issues...one recovering from a debilitating car crash, and the other with self esteem problems from being overweight, however, both characters could have been developed a little more. Also I thought the dialogue was stilted at times and didn't always ring true. The POVs alternating from paragraph to paragraph is a pet peeve. I look forward to KI's writing developing because I think she has great potential.
