Unique and wonderful read

Not Single Enough by Grace Lennox This was a really fun read, so different from 'normal' lesbian romances. I haven't yet read a book where the main characters one, had a corrected cleft palate or two, a cop who was stressing over the care of her mother who was sliding into Alzheimers disease. But these two women meet under equally odd circumstances and find that their quirkiness suits each other just fine. It was a delightful book, insightful about human nature and quite sexy too. On the hot meter this was 9; on the love meter it was a 10. **Remember - if you want your favorite authors to keep writing for us they have to be able to earn a living doing it. If at all possible try to buy the book NEW. I know it sucks but if you're not going to keep it in your collection put it in the recycle bin to make another book.**

Quick, funny, and sexy read... and true NYC atmosphere to boot!

Other reviewers have commented on the rich humor, vivid characters, and unusual plot set-up of this romance, so I won't dwell on that other than to say that all three worked very well... much to my enjoyment! I had no idea that Jennifer Fulton also wrote under the nom de plume Grace Lennox and was struck at how distinctively different in tone (in a good way) this story is in contrast to her Moon Series (A Guarded Heart is one of my favorites). A common thread across her books, written either under Fulton or Lennox, is the humanity of her characters, who are sometimes scarred emotionally or physically, and it's often quite sweet and satisfying to read how these characters develop and blossom in their own way. Finally, as a born and bred NY-er, I have to give extra kudos for the author's spot-on descriptions of this story's setting... NYC, of course! Either the author (or someone very close to her) spent a good period of time in NYC or she's one heck of a researcher, because some details (such as the "mesothelioma" law firm Weitz & Luxenberg and the outer-borough Queens neighborhood of Jackson Heights) are rarely seen in run-of-the-mill stories set in NYC. My only somewhat major quibble is with Giselle's slight brush-off of the restaurant Daniel. While this is totally consistent with this down-to-earth character, I can't imagine anyone who has actually eaten at one of Daniel Boulud's restaurants knocking their food!

Funny, romantic, sexy - I adored this book

Oh My Gosh this book was a delight and wonderfully well written! From the opening page to the last this was a fun and fabulous read. I laughed out loud again and again. This was also a very sweet romance, filled with passion and compassion. 28 year old Giselle deserves every good thing she wishes for - she is truly a great character. The secondary characters are fascinating, Nashleigh, Giselle's amazing mother, who develops throughout the story, Fabio (lol) her fiance; Dale's family - her mother with onset of dementia and her sister, Penelope Avaryss, with her non-stop scheming. Loved the nod to Gone With the Wind. This is a do not miss story.

Wonderfully on the Fringe

I've always been a big fan of Jennifer Fulton, regardless of what name she stamps on the covers of her books. However, she seems to stretch herself as Grace Lennox, introducing characters on the fringe and stories with incredible depth. Her first Lennox book, `Chance,' was quite good, but `Single' far surpasses even that accomplishment. Here she introduces the emotionally fragile Giselle whose life has recently taken several unfortunate turns. One night on the way to her home, Giselle finds a left-for-dead baby in a dumpster. Taking the days-old infant home, she seeks help from her neighbor - a doctor who lost his license due to his own life tragedies. Buying breast milk on the black market and trying to find a way to keep the baby, Giselle defends her actions to her best friend Sandy. However, Sandy can't just sit back and watch Giselle break the law. In comes Dale, a local detective who takes the baby to ensure she is placed with the correct authorities. Dale is normally emotionally unavailable, but she finds herself taken in by the distraught Giselle. As they get to know one another, the lines between the law and her heart begin to blur for the detective. What a great story. Not only are the protagonists believable, but the supporting characters are colorful, adding a secondary level of dimensionality to the book. The writing is elegant and mature, making the reader anxiously await the turn of each page. Here's hoping Fulton writes another Lennox book soon. This is one fan who can't wait.
