Kathleen O'Donald: A Novel door Penny Hayes

I really enjoyed this book as I have the several other books by Penny Hayes I have read. I did not realize what type of hardships new immigrants faced, in the early 1900's. I can only imagine the increased stress, anger, frustration, etc. of a "Romantic Friendship" in those times.
Along with the limit of options available to any young woman from another country with no realatives, friends, job, etc. waiting for you in America after leaving your native land and traveling all those days in wrenched conditions and just hoping you live to see America!
Penny Hayes is one of my favorite Lesbian writers and love how she usually combines romance with historical history. I certainly enjoy her "history lessons" mixed with lesbian lives.
I recommend this book and all the other books by this author.… (meer)

Yellowthroat door Penny Hayes

Another cute story from Penny Hayes. Female bandit Margarita Sanchez is terrorizing the New Mexico territory. Julia Blake is in the wrong place at the wrong time (or perhaps right time). Mediocure writing but entertaining enough.

The Long Trail door Penny Hayes

A cute love story between Blanche and Teresa. Blanche is an overweight, engaged, unhappy, and just plain bored woman living in post-Civil War texas. Crossing paths with Teresa, a prostitute at the BlackJack saloon. Cute plot, mediocure writing.
