Alice have seen Joy, Miranda’s 29 years old daughter, grow up, but there are few details about Joy’s life that are unknown to Alice, and are about to affect her. The same evening Alice had arrived to what she thought would be her relaxation paradise; her intended solitary vacation is hampered by Miranda’s call announcing Joy’s arrival.

Finished it in a day! One of my better reads this year, the atmosphere and tension were just so well done. Once the protagonists got together, I was pretty surprised to see how early into the book I was- it felt like the sexual tension was building for much longer than it was, which is just how I like it. Realistic discussion of the consequences of the relationship, stays sympathetic to everyone involved, doesn't really make a "bad guy" out of anyone. I did have one issue that knocked it down a bit for me- the conversation about men not being able to do monogamy struck me as a bit strange. Not that I expect a lesbian romance novel to only have good things to say about men, it was just a bit out of place. Felt like an odd stance to take and the suddenness/confusion took me out of the story a bit. Otherwise, this was an almost perfect fun read with just enough angst to keep it interesting without making you cry. I plan to check out more from the author!

This book is amazing. Can't stop reading!
