After eleven years on the anchor desk at Channel 4, Ashley Giraud is one of the most beloved figures in Tampa Bay. That's how she likes her love--distant and impersonal. Outwardly sociable with her coworkers and viewers, she can't wait to get back to her gated home and garden. When her longtime stylist goes out of business, she follows a colleague's recommendation to Rhapsody, a small salon that serves as a hub for an eclectic group of lesbian friends. Despite Ashley's efforts to remain aloof, she soon trades her solitude for roller skates, swing dancing and the emotional ups and downs of new friends. Never before has she felt so contented in the company of other women. Even so, there's always the whisper from the past. Would any of them, especially Julia Whitethorn, the charismatic, appealing owner of Rhapsody, care about her if they knew the terrible secret she's kept for twenty years? Lambda Literary Award winner KG MacGregor spins a story about the power of secrets and the risks of love with her trademark wit and insight.… (meer)

I enjoyed the book. It didn't quite turn out the way I expected, which was sort of refreshing but I still feel a little dissatisfied. Don't get me wrong, the story held my attention and the characters felt true. I'd say that nearly half of KG MacGregor's books make it on my "Oh! I love that book" list, this one just wouldn't make the cut. ( )

I really liked the first two books I read by this author (Touch of a Woman and Etched in Shadows), which apparently showed me a kink that I never knew I had: straight woman falling for a lesbian. It has nothing to do with my ex-girlfriend and wanting to "right" the way that our relationship ended horrifically, I am sure. But I just thought that this book was okayish.

Ashley was so withdrawn and self-contained that it was hard to like her character. It is revealed that she was sexually manipulated by a much older woman when she was a teenager, which accounts for most of this. Julia was nice but just too perfect for my tastes; she didn't feel all that realistic to me. And the romance took a backseat toward Ashley opening up and befriending a group of lesbians; while this was nice, it just didn't engage my emotions.

I almost feel like I should apologize for not liking this book, since everyone else seems to like it! ( )
