Sometimes you just know...

This short read packs a lot of heart and soul (and angst, and heat) into its pages.

Ree is a popular lesbian fiction author and Jo has been assigned as her personal bodyguard during a romance convention. Both women feel an immediate attraction when they meet though they aren't each other's "usual type".

Over the course of a weekend, we learn about Ree's past as she lets down some barriers and begins to connect with Jo. She has had a hard life, with trauma which might be distressing to some readers being handled with sensitivity by author Char Dafoe.

This is a story that happens around Christmas, but Christmas is not all central to the plot and I feel it could be enjoyed any time. Ree and Jo are very likeable. I enjoyed spending time with them as I'm sure you will too. ( )
