 2008-11-19 - Something to be Desired
Radclyffe does a wonderful job of introducing and personalizing her characters in this fun, passion-filled romance. Readers are guaranteed to identify with these lonely women as they mend broken hearts and explore secret desires. While enjoyable, the sex and intimacy in this novel left something to be desired. I'm anxiously awaiting a Radclyffee romance that can rival or surpass Shadowland's intensity.
 2008-07-20 - Lesbian Erotica meets Sex in the City !!
Philadelphia to be exact - in this case, the city of Sisterly love!
Oh My! what an erotic book! and yet it had just the sweetest love story!
From hospital corridors to not so private sex near the softball diamond this book has it all!
Thirty year old Bren is attractive, thoughtful and introspective, she has a fulfilling job directing the rare books department at Temple University but has never been in a long term relationship.
Twenty-seven year old Candace, a model pretty blonde, has a high stakes job as a self-employed commodities trader who lives and loves in the moment.
Thirty-five year old Liz Ramsey is a medical attorney who is lovely inside and out.
The three met during their college days and have been fast friends since. Totally supportive of each other but that doesn't mean that they know all each other's secrets.
And gorgeous thirty-one year old orthopedic surgeon Dr. Reilly Danvers is a joy to read.
As a bonus for her readers the author has nice appearances from characters from her excellent novel 'Love's Tender Warriors'.

2008-06-14 - I was lonely...
Once it ended. Friends thought I had disappeared for a day when I started reading this book and made other plans! Seriously though, great book, intriguing characters, sex-surprisingly not all that much, but enough to really keep you interested. Anyway, Radclyffe proves that whether weilding a pen or a scalpel, she can cut to the heart of a her readers and her characters alike.
2008-05-26 - She Has Done It Again!
This is another one of Radclyffe's that I couldn't put down. Excellent story. Excellent characters. Great portray of true genuine friendship. It was good that there were three different storylines going on all at the same time, yet all linked together.
I really liked Bren. The soft spoken friend (well it appeared that way at first). I hope there is a sequel to this one. I would like to read more about her character in the future.
As usual I am never disappointed when it comes to Radyclyffe.
2008-04-23 - Radclyffe should stick with this type of book
Radclyffe does her best work when she writes her stand alone novels. Unlike her series, which sell books, but have gotten rather mundane, this book has a fresh concept. It's not often that a lesbian novel features a central figure who is pregnant and alone. While Liz and Reilly are the major focus of the book, the most interesting character might be Bren, who has a couple of secrets she's kept from her best friends. Any of these characters could have carried the book and that makes them stronger than is usually seen in this genre. This is what Radclyffe excels at when she writes her stand alone novels. She should stick with it. The Lonely Hearts Club is a good read.
