Taylor Stone is trying to survive in a world that has been devastated by a plague. Though it's never clear exactly what the plague was, it's killed millions of people around the world, more women than men. Keep moving, don't get involved has become Taylor's mantra as she struggles to get to her family in Indiana to see if any of them survived.
Then she comes to Burninghead Farm. She finds a community of survivors led by the farm's original owner Buck and his daughters. Through ingenuity and willpower the people have built a self-sustaining camp and invite Taylor to join them. Her intention is to only spend a few days while she strengthens herself for the rest of the trip. She doesn't need friends and she doesn't want friends, but the people in the community have a way of working themselves into her emotions. That's especially true of Kate.
Kate reignites Taylor's interest in life. She shows the potential for new hope and love, but Taylor doesn't find that as appealing as might be thought. Taylor has done things she's not proud of and she feels they make her unworthy of Kate's love. Kate could heal Taylor's soul, but Taylor isn't sure she can have that. She needs to find out what has happened to her family. That need may destroy Taylor's chance to create a new life.
The first thing that is interesting about this book is that Summers doesn't dwell on what caused the catastrophe. There is just enough revealed to know that a disease somehow caused the situation, but nothing about where or how it started because it isn't necessary. The message is clear that it doesn't matter how mankind failed. What matters is that it did. This book is about survival and what comes after the destruction.
It's not an odyssey either. Unlike many similar stories, the reader will not follow Taylor through the situations she encounters before she arrives at Burninghead Farm. Again, just enough of that is revealed to know that life hasn't been easy and that Taylor's soul has been scarred. What matters is the time that Taylor spends on the farm and the way it transforms her.
Taylor and Burninghead Farm provide an interesting contrast. Because of her experiences, Taylor is cynical and jaded. She trusts no one because she knows even people who seem friendly are probably waiting for a chance to take advantage of you. The farm is comparable to an experiment in utopianism. Things are almost too perfect in that the people work together peacefully with no disharmony. The only malcontents are expelled soon after Taylor arrives and though they reappear later, they're unimportant to most of the story. The people live by a common set of rules that appeal to everyone.
It would be interesting to see how this community was established in the first place and able to achieve what they had, but again, what is important is that it exists. Taylor and the farm represent the battle between despair and hope. Taylor will come to realize that, contrary to what she says, she's just as invested in the farm's success as the people who have been there all along. With all of the discussion about whether or not the world is about to come to an end, one can only hope that there is a Burninghead Farm out there for when it happens.
After the Fall is easy to read and tells a compelling story. Summers alternates third person chapters with those written in first person so that the reader is always aware of what is going on in Taylor's head and can follow her transformation. It makes a very interesting debut novel for Robin Summers; one worth reading.

Sometimes you see reviews that say, don't start this book unless you have time because you won't be able to put it down. When I say that about Beyond Instinct, believe it.
Sage McNally saw something she shouldn't have. She didn't know it, but what she saw causes her to be kidnapped off of the streets of Mali and taken into the desert by Tuareg warriors. Vaughn Elliot, former CIA agent and now a security expert for the State Department, hasn't known the diplomat long, but she knows she has to rescue Sage and determine why someone would do this to her. The women have fallen into a treacherous plot that stretches from Washington, DC, to Africa and on to Afghanistan.
Vaughn, who has watched a former lover be murdered in the line of duty, is determined that it won't happen again. A congressional visit appears to be at the center of the mystery and Vaughn has to determine how all of the pieces fit together. Sage holds the key if she can only remember what it is. The women are joined by a cast that includes highly skilled field agents, corrupt politicians, deadly assassins and heroes who are willing to die for what is right. Though Sage and Vaughn are attracted to each other, nothing can come before the mission. Too much depends on its outcome.
Lynn Ames has written a suspenseful adventure novel that can be compared with the best in the field. Beyond Instinct can stand against any Robert Ludlum or James Patterson novel on the shelf. The action is fast paced and the characters are defined just enough to see each one of them clearly and why that person had to be in the story.
The weaponry and technology that are employed in the book have obviously been well researched and their usage gives the book a very real and modernistic feeling. The emotions that come from the characters tap into the reader and create a feeling that the reader is sharing the fear, horror and relief that everyone is experiencing. As the reader nears the end of the book the need to read slower speaks to the reluctance to see the story end.
Ames does two things in this book that make it refreshing. The people of Africa are treated with great respect. Unfortunately, the stereotype in Western literature is to show them as poor, corrupt and backward. Ames' Africa most certainly contains poverty and illegal activities, but there are also characters who act with great dignity and honor. There is a very delicate balance struck in the Tuareg leader. Though he is going to perform a despicable act, he does it out of a sense of honor and has the decency to understand that what he is doing is wrong.
The other interesting point is the relationship between Sage and Vaughn. The fact that they are lesbians and feel drawn to each other is a strong thread in the story, but it doesn't dominate what is going on. There is never any doubt that the point of this story is to figure out who is behind what is happening, what their ultimate objective is, and how to stop them. This is never a story that is simply holding together scenes so that the women can hop into bed together.
One of the best things to observe in literature over time is the growth of an author. Anyone who is a Lynn Ames fan from her first books is going to find a very different writer in Beyond Instinct. From someone who wrote rather formulaic novels, she has progressed to something much more. Her use of vocabulary, characters and scenery has grown tremendously from her first books and gives this one a more mature feeling and allows the reader to flow seamlessly from scene to scene. Ames' development of her abilities is striking.
For anyone who enjoys a book that is based around adventure, intrigue and suspense, there can't be a better example than Beyond Instinct. Just one warning. Don't start it late at night because you won't be going to sleep for a while.

Vivid depiction of life and a fascinating look at life in a remote Alaskan village. Bettles is the small dot located above the Arctic Circle and when the land is not frozen is only accessible via the air. With twenty-four residents, all are dependent on each other for existence and entertainment.
Bryson Faulkner is forty years old and lives on her own in her remote cabin north of Bettles. She absolutely loves her life, when not ferrying goods or people to and from remote locations to Bettles or Fairbanks, she can kick back and read and enjoy the gorgeous scenery. A native of Alaska, she has followed the same career as her father. The one thing she would like to add would be someone to share it with. But in the remote location she has chosen, her options are few and she isn't interested in settling for less than the right thing. Bryson is wonderfully self-confident, a good person and friend to all who know her.
Into her life crashes thirty-five-year-old Karla Edwards, an ER nurse from hot humid Atlanta, Georgia. Karla's life in the last two months has been turned upside down and inside out, and at this point, there is nothing permanent or steady for her.

A. J. Quinn has written an exciting book of romantic intrigue which grabs the reader on its first page, and doesn't let go until the last satisfying page is turned. This is exciting suspense at its very best! Hunter Roswell is a survivor of a horrific kidnapping which happened when she was seventeen. Now twenty-seven, wealthy, beautiful and highly successful, the past has returned to haunt her. A serial killer has become obsessed with her.
Sara Wilder is a psychologist and a former FBI agent who has been asked to help catch the serial killer. As the FBI and Hunter's own security team work to keep Hunter safe, Quinn skillfully allows the tension and danger to build. In addition, she shows how PTSD lingers long after there was supposed to be "closure."
Sara, Hunter and the rest of the characters are very well drawn and quite likeable. The setting, San Francisco, adds to the fun of this very good read. This one is highly recommended.

Riveting “Who Done It”
There is so much plot in this book that it keeps you wondering where the author is going to take you next.
Living in Dallas, Texas, thirty-four-year-old Parker Casey is top of her class in law school, and will have her pick of any firm when she graduates. She is working her way through graduate school by tending bar, liked by all who know her, but what you learn about the decade before she became a law student will impact all around her.
Morgan Bradley is not having the best week of her forty-year-old life. She is a high profile lawyer who could retire at any time after tremendous success in court and has a national reputation as a defense counsel who can win cases for high-profile clients. Her lover of ten years has just turned their lives upside down after they have moved to Dallas and the last thing she probably needs is a new relationship with anyone.
Beyond the intriguing mystery of who murdered Camille Burke, beyond the love story, is the background of what it takes to bring a case to trial. I was completely entertained by all the side stories and bits of information that added up to a wholly satisfying read. Lots of dry humor thrown in make the characters very human and fit the story.
Can't wait to read more from this author.

More than a romance, this story was pure pleasure to read from the first page to the very last. I loved how the strength in the relationship shifted back and forth between Kicker and Madelyn.
This is an honest, insightful, and very believable novel of how two women find each other, decide to live their lives together, and take the courageous steps to make their dreams a reality. It isn't easy to make happily ever after a reality but it is a joy to watch the picture of their lives unfold.
At 360 pages this is a substantial read that doesn't skim over the smallest detail. The author depicted the era for me perfectly. The characters and setting rang true at all times. Never did I come out of the moment that this story took place in 1899.

Park Ranger Samantha Takoda Tyler is assigned to Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. The majesty of the park does little to soothe her painful memories and old regrets. Sam leads the quiet life of a loner, doing her job and interacting with her coworkers on a superficial level. So when she is assigned to escort a young photographer and journalist named Halie Walker on assignment in the Tetons for an international wildlife magazine, Sam isn’t very happy. At first, she’s annoyed with Halie’s interloping presence, but slowly, Sam warms to Halie, and the attraction the two women feel for one another becomes inevitable.
As Sam and Halie explore the park and their relationship blooms, Sam’s fears of starting a new liaison, only to lose the person she cares deeply for, interferes with the progress of the budding romance. In addition, there are the park-related difficulties of keeping people out of trouble, and Sam proves to be a classic Hero figure in this compelling story, saving children from drowning and intervening when an abuser attacks his wife while vacationing in the park.
When Sam goes to work on a fire line in a nearby forest, she begins to realize that she can no longer deny what she feels for Halie. She decides that she should try to mend their broken relationship by trying to be honest with the object of her affection. However, because of Sam’s jealousy of another park employee who has tried to develop a relationship with Halie, albeit, a possibly predatory one, Halie acts impulsively, boarding a helicopter with people of questionable background and motives on a lark, which leads to disaster for all aboard.
Just as Sam returns from the fire, determined to talk to Halie, she discovers that Halie was on the helicopter that went down in the mountains. This begins the Hero’s final journey. If she can overcome her exhaustion and her fear of history repeating itself to reach the chopper and rescue the love of her life, she may well be delivered from the demons of her past and find both love and salvation. However, there are roadblocks to be overcome—both internal and external—and whether or not Sam will be successful is in question throughout the last half of the book.
Hanel gives us vivid descriptions of the beautiful Grand Teton area throughout the story. Sam is a strong, though flawed, character for whom the reader will root. In spite of her debilitating and painful past, we want her to recover and succeed. Halie is an innocent with something to prove, especially to Sam. We recognize her beauty and her potential to play a part in Sam’s healing, but wonder if she’s strong enough to endure. In the pages of Love Another Day, a story unfolds that is both challenging and compelling—and sure to hold the reader’s interest page after page.

Title: Marching to a Different Accordion
Author: Saxon Bennett

Chase Banter has gone from being a moderately successful lesbian fiction author to an overnight success of epic proportions writing mainstream mysteries under a pseudonym. As Chase moves through her life, we watch her cope with the foibles in dealing with her success and her everyday life. However, the other star of the story is Chase’s four-year-old daughter, Bud, who starts out speaking a form of gibberish that only Chase can understand. To the consternation of Chase’s partner and Bud’s biological mother, Gitana, she can’t figure out a word of it. In the end, we discover there’s a reason for Bud’s polyglot enigma, which sends her into a new phase, speaking in sentences of which a doctoral candidate would stand in awe. The child is a source of humor and wisdom throughout.
Bud’s celebrity notwithstanding, the story centers around Chase’s writing friends, and a group she’s been more or less forced to join to overcome her inappropriate outbursts of “telling like it is.” Chase has gotten into trouble at a book signing and her outburst hasn’t served her best interests or her book sales, so her publisher has assigned her to a remedial group. As the group coalesces into an unlikely team, they are mustered into action to help promote the demands of the Council for the Continuation of Lesbian Culture, a force to be reckoned with in Chase’s estimation. The Council demands that Chase give some time to continuing her lesbian fiction to ensure the continuation of the genre. After some reflection, Chase realizes that this is good thing—not only for the greater good, but for her authentic self as a writer.
This is a laugh-out-loud story. The lines, as well as Chase’s outlook on life are fraught with pitfalls that are expressed with wit and humor. As mentioned above, Bud is a delightfully precocious child who forces Chase to deal with her issues while keeping a toehold in the world that only the innocence of a child can bring. Chase’s partner, Gitana, although a minor player in the story, is a strong character displaying her own brand of grounding each time she appears on stage in the story. This Saxon Bennett offering is thoroughly entertaining and evokes laughter with and cheers for the reluctant heroine of the story over and over again.

The novel opens when thirty-four-year-old Major Logan Sharp, a Canadian doctor serving at the military hospital, meets Pulitzer-award-winning photographer, thirty-six-year-old Michigan native and Columbia graduate Jillian Knight on a crushingly hot landing strip in Kandahar, Afghanistan. Over a two-week period the two are inseparable. Their friends, Captain and nurse Meg Atwood and fellow photographer and BFF Mark Kennedy, observe the chemistry between the two.
But a romance doesn't seem possible. Jillian is in a committed relationship with her partner of seven years and they have a two-year-old daughter they both love.
The events that unfold 15 months later were a huge surprise. But I can't say more or I would give the story away.
This was a fun read and a great look at the day-to-day life on the military base; the description of the places and events were so realistically presented I have to wonder if the author had been on location.

Photographs of Claudia is about the relationship between two women in two different decades. Leonora Westcott is hoping to be accepted into a program for photographers and she needs to put together a portfolio. She meets Claudia Galloway, a teacher intern, who agrees to become her model. As their sessions progress, the pictures become more intimate and an attraction grows between the women.
Claudia is scheduled to marry a very wealthy man, so Leo is afraid to tell her how she feels, but Claudia takes the lead. She decides that she wants to spend her life with Leo and returns home to tell her family. She never comes back. Years later Leo, who is now a successful photographer, agrees to do a friend a favor and take wedding pictures for a young woman who turns out to be Claudia's daughter. The passion that was once there reignites, but Leo has risked herself one time. Twice might be more than she's capable of.
This book starts off a little slow; however, it is well developed and tells a poignant story. The women meet in their twenties and don't see each other again for a quarter of a century. It's rather sad to think about what they missed in their lives, but there is no guarantee that their situation would have worked out anyway. As mature women, they might have a greater chance of success.
MacGregor is an accomplished writer. She knows how to give a story a sad twist without it becoming maudlin. She also knows how to resurrect it into something happier. The characters are appealing, the plot flows at a good pace for most of the book and it's an enjoyable book to read. KG MacGregor is a dependable writer, so spending the time on one of her books really isn't a gamble.

Sexiest and darkest in this series. Characters are either living, reliving or planning their romance on almost every page, and when they aren't, the author has them being followed by a mysterious stalker.
WOW! Let me assure those who are new to this series that you don't need to read the prior novels to enjoy this novel. For those who have read each entry you will totally enjoy how the author subtly recaps over the chapters where the characters are today without extensive and boring exposition.
Five years since the first novel in the series, Safe Harbor, we find Reese, the town sheriff, recently returned from Iraq, Tory, the town physician, dealing with the aftermath of the hurricane a week earlier and getting their life to a point where they can spend a quiet evening at home. Making a brief appearance after being featured in the last novel, Winds of Fortune, are all-time hottie Deo Camera (what a great name!) and Nita who is the other doctor in Tory's practice.
Bri, the town deputy, and Carrie, a budding artist, have to deal with their harsh past that's come roaring back to town. Allie, another police officer has become something of a player since fraud investigator, Ashly Walker, ended their new romance when the age difference seemed a barrier to a future.
I was so happy to see prominently in this novel the couple from Storms of Change, which had Carter Wayne falling in love with Rica the art gallery owner and mob boss' daughter, resulting in the loss of her law enforcement career. One of my favorite moments was seeing KT O'Bannon come to the rescue like the hero she now is.
A terrific thriller of a story with lots of erotic heat and plenty of romance. The writing is smooth as ever as you race from one chapter to another and can't wait to pick up the book again for a second read.
Finally, I love the author's feel for the place; you really get a feeling that you are in the car with the people when they make a U-turn in a restaurant lot or walk up the main streets and side streets.

So happy - such diverse stories - really something for everyone, 23 stories from different authors - each story I read gave me more incentive to read the author's novels. I love it when they use the short story format to revisit a character in a novel.
A really neat thing is that in front of each story is a brief profile of the author.
Radclyffe writing as LL Rand brings us the last story, a delightfully written werewolf tale set in the Adirondacks.
“The Lies That Bind” by Lea Santos, what can I say but that my mouth dropped open in horror for Esme Jaramillo about two pages in and I hung on every word until the end.
Kim Baldwin's “Meeting My Match” showcases a unique "finder’s fee" for an extremely successful dating service.
“Finding Grace” by Lisa Girolami is set in Paris and OH MY! Saying more would spoil the story.
KI Thompson's “Constant Companion” is the dearest romance.
“Tenebrosidad” by Nell Stark and Trinity Tam takes place 100 years before their novel everafter.
VK Powell's “Return to Me” resolves the question how do let your BFF of 23 years know that she is the one?
“Privileged & Confidential” by Carsen Taite is an interesting portrait of two couples at opposite ends of the marriage spectrum.
Ali Vali's story “Hooked on Quack” answers the age-old question “what do you do when you are a political consultant and you are attracted to the boss's daughter?” Go duck hunting of course.
“The Twelfth Rose” is a very sweet office romance by Lesley Davis.
Leslea Newman's playful story of a forty-two-year-old firefighter by the name of Zoey B. Jackson was whimsical and sexy.

Humor and really hot romance. Three couples leave snowy cold Rochester, New York (where the sun shines maybe 3 months out of the year - lol), for an extended cruise of the Caribbean in the dead of winter.
Yvonne and Steph have been a couple for years and have a wonderful relationship. Their friend, thirty-seven-year-old Mississippi native Natalie, has booked the cruise with the plan that she and Steph will go off and do their thing during the day while Yvonne and her new friend Navy veteran Kelly will go adventuring.
I adored Kelly, loved Kelly, Kelly would have been too perfect except she was so real. She is confident in who she is and what she wants without being egotistical and she is so fun to read about. Kelly hasn't dated since she moved to Rochester two years earlier, which may explain why she is instantly smitten with Natalie.
Also cruising is forty-two-year-old Didi who broke-up with Natalie two years ago and is now perfectly matched with much younger new girlfriend, Pamela (Pamela is an all out terrific person, her one blind spot might possibly be Didi). Didi and Natalie still own a fashion business together that Didi would like to buy Natalie out of and move it to NYC.
Being the two singles in the group, Natalie and Kelly meet for the first time and share a room. Turns out Natalie may be wanting to give her relationship with dead-wrong-for-her Didi another try, while Kelly will do anything for her including helping her get Didi's interest.
From here on it is one adventure after another with humor and really hot romance. That being said, my favorite scene takes place in an island boutique where the five women take a stand for the newbie of the group - the book is a must for that moment alone.

Lee Hammond is going nowhere in her relationship and her life, and she’s ready to run away from both by getting on a motorcycle and speeding headlong into the unknown. When she finds herself in the midst of a thunderstorm (which seems to reflect her inner turmoil), she crashes a funeral looking for shelter. In a strange turn of events, she picks up a former acquaintance and high school cheerleader who’s into spiky shoes and strange adventures and the two are off on the journey of a lifetime. However, Lee doesn’t bargain for two things: falling for the hetero-woman, and running for her life from people who want to kill her companion, Vivian, in a guilt-by-association relationship.
Vivian is running from more than the men in black chasing her. She’s running from a past that’s not everything it’s cracked up to be, and mostly from herself, first on the back of Lee’s Harley, then in various other modes of transportation used as getaway vehicles, whisking them from one near-death experience to another.
For her part, Lee struggles with her feelings for Vivian and marvels at the adventure they are on together. However, she gets herself into more trouble than she’s bargained for by engaging in a one-night stand with a man she’s using to forget Vivian.

This one is full of heart-stopping turns of events that will have you screaming, “Don’t do it!” into the pages of this book.

When Janet Bouton shows up at Sallie Lee Hybart’s diner in Pennington, Alabama, she’s in pretty bad shape, both physically and emotionally. After a night with nowhere to go, she’s worse for the wear and hoping for a friendly face. To that end, she ends up back at the diner a second time, where Sallie Lee takes her under her wing and Della, Sallie Lee’s partner, looks at her with a combination of begrudging acceptance and a tinge of suspicion. The distrust is only born of Della’s concern and protectiveness for her friend “Lee.” Della has nothing to fear, though, because Janet is a broken woman, who doesn’t really understand why she’s drawn back to Pennington after many years of separation and personal suffering.
Trouble brews as Lee and Janet are drawn together when some townspeople, with long memories and little concern for the truth, consider Janet’s return as a source of danger. As Sallie Lee opens her home—and a heart filled with unconditional love—Janet must decide if she’ll stop running long enough to learn that not everything or everyone is as bad as they seem. If she can slow down, she may someday find deliverance from the pain of her past.
Unbroken Circle is a story of redemption for a woman who has suffered one injustice after another in her short life. In some ways, Janet doesn’t even realize that she needs redemption, but as the pieces of her life start to fall into place, others step out of the darkness seeking the light of forgiveness—and Janet is the one they come to for help.
There is a sad simplicity about Janet, even in the midst of all she’s been through, and she is counterbalanced by the strong, loving woman that Sallie Lee is. Together the two women take a journey that neither could have imagined was possible alone.
This is a very distinct and poignant story, not your usual romantic interlude. The story is both fascinating and riveting. The characters stay with the reader long after the story is ended. They are the type of people that we’ll think of often, wondering how they’re doing as time passes. An excellent first offering from author Mary Griggs.
