Synopsis

It’s aspiring actress meeting photographer, femme meeting butch in this light-hearted lesbian romance set in Hollywood. Aspiring actress Amanda Clark and photographer Michelle Osinski are two women burned by love and not looking to test the fire again. And even if they were, it certainly wouldn’t be with each other. Amanda has never been attracted to a butch woman before, and Michelle personifies the term butch.Having just landed a role on a hot new TV show, she’s determined to focus on her career and doesn’t need any complications in her life. After a turbulent breakup with her starlet ex, Michelle swore she would never get involved with an actress again.Another high-maintenance woman is the last thing she wants, and her first encounter with Amanda certainly makes her appear the type. But after a date that is not a date and some meddling from Amanda’s grandmother, they both begin to wonder if it’s not time for a departure from their usual dating scripts.

About Jae

Jae is the author of twenty-three award-winning lesbian romance novels. She lives in the sunniest city of Germany, near the French and Swiss borders. The writing bug bit her at the age of eleven.

She used to work as a psychologist but gave up her day job in 2013 to become a full-time writer and a part-time editor. As far as she's concerned, it's the best job in the world.

When she's not writing, she is an avid reader of lesbian books, indulges her ice cream and office supply addictions, and watches way too many crime shows.

|| 2.5 stars || It’s difficult to pin down my exact thoughts on this book. On the surface, this seems like a novel I would love: two people, who appear to be complete opposites of each other, form a connection where both would do anything to be with the other person. That premise seems right up my all......more

What a story. I found myself glued to this story from the first chapter. Suddenly, everything was in the way of me reading. I loved the characters. Both down to earth knowing what they are looking for, neither scared of sacrifices if needed to be made. There is something in the way Jae writes that e......more
