Exceptence

Charlotte North’s narration is so compelling that the listener immediately falls into the world created by Harper Bliss. This one is set in a small town in Texas. Two middle aged women are looking for love, both coming at it from a different direction. Tess lived in the small country town her whole life and has trouble finding another lesbian in her small world. Laura comes from a shattering situation in Chicago and feels she is ‘damaged goods’. How they fall in love is the journey you take with them in this sweet story of loss and finding happiness.

Not your usual lesbian romance

This book takes the reader on the different journey to many romances. It addresses something I think the lesbian community doesn’t talk about, but needs to. Domestic violence and domestic abuse in lesbian intimate relationships. It’s not the focus of the book and it was dealt with well. As for the rest of the story, it’s well worth taking the time to listen to. Credit to the author and reader.
