Tate Grafton has a tough exterior, but underneath she's kind, caring, and fiercely loyal. That's why she first started working at Out in Portland Coffee-it was her way of repaying the shop's owner for taking her in as a homeless teenager. Nine years later, the coffee shop is floundering and Tate feels like she's letting life pass her by . . . until she shares an unforgettable night with a beautiful stranger. When the mysterious woman disappears the next morning, Tate doesn't even know her name.
Laura Enfield was supposed to be in Portland for only a few days-just long enough to oversee a simple business deal before joining her conservative father on his political campaign. But when the closeted Laura romances an employee of the coffee shop her company is shutting down, things get suddenly complicated. Now, the lies she's told for years are beginning to unravel, and her biggest secret is about to be exposed. Laura can't stop thinking about the barista with the soulful eyes, but after a lifetime of deception, can she finally embrace something true?
My Review
I'm having a bit of difficulty in trying to write a review for this. I didn't really like the book, but I didn't dislike it, either. It was..."meh". I couldn't connect to most of the characters, nor the story. I've just read too many books that were very similar, except this time there were lesbians. It was well written and flowed wonderfully, I just couldn't get engaged. I did like Tate, though. I kept picturing Trubel from Grimm when I was reading about Tate! This book also made me want to visit Portland and go exploring, as I've never been before.
The one real complaint I have is that it seems very anti-male. The only men in the story were NOT complete a$$hats were gay. Not all men are this way! Trust me, my husband and sons are not bad people simply because they are not gay. That really bothered me, and unfortunately is the main point of this book that is sticking with me.
I recommend this for those who like romance bordering on erotica.
