review 1: I have read all the author's novels and look forward to the next one!The producers of my favorite Soap Operas (All My Children & General Hospital) sure could use Lynn Ames' talent - she certainly writes a dramatic compelling story!Dara is a top actress in Hollywood who also graduated from Yale. From the first page it is pretty clear she is burnt out of that career, it doesn't appear to give her enjoyment or fulfillment. Luckily for her she is also a Pulitzer Prize winning novel under a pseudonym (Constance Darrow), writing is her great joy and also a closely guarded secret. Between the two careers she has a wonderful social life with close friends but love is not to be found. This is very believable to me - look at all the actresses out there who are single or have been si... morengle for several years.Rebecca is a college professor in Vermont and is including Constance Darrow's work in her curriculum. She writes to Constance's publisher and gets a reply, from Constance! A professional and academic correspondence begins that eventually turns social and the two women really enjoy the other's correspondence.The POV from multiple characters was never confusing. One thing I was missing was more physical passion, and after all they went through in their lives I thought they deserved alot more (me too - lol). One thing in the plot caught me off guard but I try to keep spoilers out of my reviews so you will have to find out for yourself.I liked Rebecca right away, Dara took a bit longer - I thought she came off as a diva in the first chapter but she grew on me.
review 2: Well written with engaging leads. But not "hot" by any means... would have liked sexier sex scenes and more description of these two supposedly gorgeous femme leads. I can't remember what these leads looked like at all. Even so, I would have given it a solid 4 stars but felt the paranormal elements were totally unnecessary. It was just too much. WAY too much. Also, the ending was so ridiculously perfect that my brain couldn't register it as even remotely plausible, and I was left with a disappointed feeling. I don't wanna feel that way when I finish.Excellent writing. Cheesy, hallmark romance.3.5 less
