Lesbian Fiction Reviews
Artist Parker Lee has lost her Mojo. Her art is bland, her energy level is low and her revolving bedroom door hasn’t moved in far too long. And then Lucky comes into her life.
This was the first novel by Storm aka Linda Kay Silva and it won’t be my last. I liked the story, a free spirited 50ish San Francisco artist with conservative daughter and rebellious granddaughter decides to shake her life up. On a whim she purchases a Harley and the rut she’d been living in is thrown to the wind.
Elated to secure her first paid political staff position, Bijal Rao is eager to focus her efforts on the election of her candidate to U.S. Congress. However, Bijal’s first unforeseen obstacle is her profound and unexpected attraction to their opponent—incumbent Congresswoman Colleen O’Bannon— who is outspoken, charismatic, and openly lesbian.
An even greater hurdle is the subterfuge and pretense that pervades the climate in Washington, D.C., where small missteps are readily painted as major gaffes, and lies are explained away as “in the public’s best interest.” During the heated campaign, both Bijal and Colleen struggle not to cross the lines of propriety—and perhaps more importantly, their party lines.
