Love is not an easy thing to come by – a concept born from undying appreciation, it is something that requires the unrequited endeavour to make someone happy, whatever the cost.
This book explores love and life, and how the joy of infatuation and fate can bring together people in the strangest of ways, regardless of past experience, personal preference or social normality. However – there are more elements that surround love which also play an important part here. While love is difficult to come by, trust is all the more difficult to even entertain the possibility of.
The consequences and after-effects of trust are explored by our main character, in relation to love, and the themes pertaining to everyday life can resonate with all of us.
Love, freedom, lust, danger, youth, thrills, and regret; all singularly important to live life at its fullest, and all to come as you delve into the story that follows.

"a short, well-written thriller and those looking for more prurient detail will find themselves disappointed."
Reviewer: Angel for Bookangel.
When Jessica falls off a park bench and bangs her head, she is rescued by someone with beautiful blue eyes, something that sticks with her. The lady in question, Caroline then accepts a date and the pair of them start a relationship. The trouble starts when the police visit her house looking for Caroline and Jessica finds that the love she had started to believe in, may not be as true as she thought.
This is a short, well-written thriller and those looking for more prurient detail will find themselves disappointed. There is a lot packed into a few pages, from the initial meeting, through the relationship and then to finding out the truth. It's well described and you easily get a sense for how the protagonists feel about each other, and though some of the descriptions are brief, they are more than enough to describe what is occurring in vivid detail.
I'm honestly not sure why this is so heavily advertised as Lesbian Romance when, quite frankly, it is far more of a thriller. The Romance in it could be of any type and it could be quite believable. Rating:4
"Fans of psychological horror or thrillers might want to pick this up. For those looking for books with lesbian characters this is excellent, but I'm not sure romance would be the right word"
Reviewer: Reader for Bookangel.
An accident in the park leads Jessica to a date with the mysterious and beautiful Caroline. Enthralled and obsessed, Jessica never thinks to ask how much she really knows about her lover and the truth when it comes out is nothing she had ever expected.
We picked this up to check the content because considering the cover the club we were worried we'd have to ban it for explicit content. There is some mature content, but it's extremely soft-focus (think James Bond) and plot-relevant so well within the guidelines.
What we actually found was a taut psychological thriller with far more twists than its length would make you expect. Written in first person the ride inside Jessica's head is gripping. The author weaves Caroline's spell so well that the reader falls under it, making it so easy to see why Jessica is entranced. It's a very short story so I won't say much to avoid spoiling it, but it is original, explores love, lies, and betrayal in depth even in its short length, and I really enjoyed it.
Fans of psychological horror or thrillers might want to pick this up. For those looking for books with lesbian characters this is excellent, but I'm not sure romance would be the right word, as it throws some severe curves into the plot. Rating:4
It is amazing how much people's eyes can move you and tell you things that you might not be able to find elsewhere. Maybe it is cliche or corny or cheesy, but I still like it and I would like to think that it makes for a good basis for story. That said, this one seems interesting, so I will have to look into it.
