Customer Reviews

Great story, but something missing.......

As most readers of KG know, she is one terrific author who makes it very hard to put down her books. This book was no exception, and the story was very exciting. What makes her such a great author is her ability to make you feel as if you really know the characters and you cant wait to see where the story line is going next. She definitely built up the sexual tension between the two main characters, Spencer and Ruth, and the reader would expect to eventually read about their first time together. However, for some reason, KG left the reader hanging at the end without giving us another one of her very erotic and sensual lovemaking episodes. Not sure why she left it out, it only required one more chapter. Still loved the book though.

Fast paced lesbian drama

I couldn't put this one down! Ever ypage was a pleasure to read. Both Ruth and Spencer are on the run. Spencer for her life, and Ruth from an abusive husband that is trying to steal her daugther. The blossoming of friendship and love between the two women is an added attraction to this fast paced action novel. I loved the book!

Edge of my seat

If you like the adventure type book, this one is for you. I really like they way the book flowed to bring the characters together without alot of unnecessary information. Fiction is a great way to tell a story that is either far fetched or just barely unbelievable. This book is in the barely unbelievable category. Motorcycle- car chases, on the run, no money and a story you yourself would not believe is what one of the women in this book faces. The other on the run from an ex-husband, a small town, with your own daughter who you trying to save from the abuse she is subjected to. Want to know more? Get the book.

Action! Suspense! Romance!

KG MacGregor has done it again! If you've read Shaken, you know KG is great at writing action-packed stories filled with great, compelling characters. (If you haven't read Shaken, go read it immediately!) While I don't have to reiterate the plot, what makes this book so great is that (as K. Johnson mentioned in her review), even though it is fiction, the plotlines are completely believable. There wasn't a moment during this book when I was forced to make an allowance for "artistic license." These characters - from the young daughter who is caught in the middle of divorced parents to the neighbor who has enough charisma and depth to her personality that you want to read a book just about her life - really jump out of the book and aren't just incidental to the main characters. KG also doesn't force the romance; the kindness and affection which grows between the two women feels like a very natural progression. This is an excellent read! I agree with K. Johnson that you might as well grab a beverage and some snacks because it's very unlikely you'll be able to put this book down until you are finished. And once you do finish - the characters will stick with you for days.

Wrong Place, Right Time

Ruth Ferguson is a teacher with an abusive ex-husband who has custody of their young daughter. One weekend, a desperate Ruth runs away with the girl and begins to make a new life far away. In the meantime, programmer Spencer Rollins runs into trouble at work and is framed for murder. After a long night of running from the law, Spencer hides and falls asleep in the back seat of a car in a Wal Mart parking lot. Unfortunately for Ruth, she discovers the sickly, unwanted passenger only after she arrives back at her new home. The caring Ruth can't bring herself to throw Spencer out and the two develop a tentative friendship as Spencer gets well. As the women begin to trust each other and disclose their own stories, new feelings begin to develop. Together they work through their friends, both new and old, to get back on the right side of the law. I truly love KG MacGregor's writing. She keeps the story exciting and (relatively, it is a fictional romance) realistic. Her editor also does a wonderful job (typos annoy the heck out of me). Very highly recommended for a nice, quiet weekend night curled up in front of the fire. Don't forget the wine and crackers!
