Wonderfully written romance full of the details that complete a great story

I really enjoyed this novel set in Melbourne & Queensland Australia and was able to read it in one weekend. It's the story of a successful career woman in her early-thirties who has a very well rounded life - she loves her job but makes time for her friends and outside activities. Having had a childhood where she was raised by an absentee father and no mother from the age of 5 she avoids developing a committed relationship. However her father is dying, she is attracted to a new woman who wants more than casual sex and has unresolved issues with what happened to her mother. All of this is written beautifully, the author has a love relationship with the written word and beautifully describes the time and place so you feel you are watching it all through the camera lens. The characters are truly likable and human. They make mistakes and feel pain. They find happiness and you feel their joy. I found two other novels by this author (Letting Go and Julia's Song) and wish I could find more. Don't miss this book! From the back cover - Tall, athletic Joanna Kingston has a roguish way about her that draws women like a magnet. Yet, as too many lovers have discovered too late, though Joanna's bedroom door is always open, she keeps her wounded heart under lock and key. Knowing too well Joanna's "love 'cm and leave 'cm" reputation, beautiful Fiona Maddison is determined to keep their friendship platonic -- unless she can break through Joanna's impenetrable public persona. But as the sexual tension between them starts to smolder, Fiona's resolve starts to melt...

fantastic!!!!!

One of the best books I read in a long time. I couldn't put it down. I'm a Radcliffe-file and few writers hold up to the comparison for me. You won't be disappointed.

One of the best novels I have read in a long time

I *really* enjoyed this book.Well written, with interesting, believable main characters, and a plotline to keep you hooked. Ann O'Leary has also done a great job with the supporting characters, I found them to be well fleshed out. A great job all round, congratulations Ann.This *is* a book that you will not want to put down after you start it, so don't start reading too late at night :)I'm now off to search for more work by this author.

Complicated Women

I enjoyed this book very much. These were complicated women caught offguard by basic emotions. It was very erotic without being trash --in short, a wonderful, romantic, realistic book I heartily recommend.

Just Three Words...hot...hot...HOT!

You've already got a pretty succinct synopsis from the author herself, Ann O'Leary. Believe her.If you want a hot--can't put it down-- all through the night--wake up sated or at the very least smiling--read--This Is The One.O'Leary's funny, contemporary, languid prose and dialogue, will draw you into an intense love story of wounded women who find each other down Aussie way. Never mind that her character profiles of these two lovers may leave you thinking..."yeah, too beautiful to be true," but your read will leave you dreaming, shaken, and definitely stirred.
