Product Description
Best-selling romance author Jenna Hardy, aka Cassandra Hart, sprints through life from one appearance to the next, always on deadline, always in demand, always on the arm of a different beautiful woman. She has no personal life because her entire existence is public, and part of her appeal. She loves the tempo, the power, the thrill until the pace catches up to her and she collapses at a book signing. Her doctor orders rest, her editor wants a three book series yesterday, and her attorney informs her she has just inherited a farm in the backcountry of Vermont. Divine intervention or Fate's little joke? The only thing that might possibly save her from dying of boredom during a summer of forced R&R is a dalliance with Gardner Davis, the local vet. Unfortunately, everything about Jenna’s high-profile lifestyle is exactly what Gard wants to leave far, far behind, that and a dark secret that haunts the new life she’s made.

Good writing; lousy story development, Dec 8 2010

Ce commentaire est de: Desire by Starlight (Paperback)
I think Radclyff is a gifted writer. She draws me into her stories each time. Her "Honor" stories have to be the best lesbian romance series ever written. I always look forward to her new books so I was disappointed when this book turned out to be so "average".The book reminds me of a restaurant that has all great ingredients but never delivers on the promise of amazing food. The story line is so thin you can see through it. The relationship between the two women never really develops -- it is literally a wham, bam, seen-each-other-about -five-times and we are ready to make a life-long commitment. That is just ridiculous. Moreover, sub-plots never go anywhere -- what is the vet's hidden "real" story? Why didn't the writer and her "manager" hook up? Why did the great-great-great-great-aunt leave her estate to a relative she never knew?
I like Radclyff's writing too much to abandon ship. My impression is that she is writing fast and not thoughtfully. I would rather read a story-rich book than a plot-poor one. I wish she would slow down and develop her characters and story. We know she can do it based on the volume of amazing work she has already done.

I have read mostly all of Radclyffe's books. The is my least favorite of them. The plot is very thin. I would have liked to know why the Aunt left the house to Jenna. And what about the paintings from the Aunt?

Desire by Starlight is a beautiful, classic romance. For romance lovers this is it - Radclyffe hits every note perfectly.Her two main characters are compelling and intriguing. Jenna and Gardner are both actually satisfied being single; they find their own lives, work, and selves to be fulfilling. When they first meet, their connection is based a lot on their physical attraction to one another, and they resist anything deeper, because each of them has experienced a betrayal of the worst sort: finding out that what should be unconditional love sometimes isn't. The challenge these two characters face - to allow themselves to be vulnerable with each other - is difficult (even for those of us who have never experienced the type of abandonment that these characters have) and it is awesome and thrilling when they are able to do so. I like that their relationship begins with "mere" (ha!) physical attraction - I think that this is very real - and it doesn't undermine the authenticity or credibility of what grows into love.
In Radclyffe's worlds, the love of a woman is all-encompassing, and that includes passionate, intense, hot sex! This book contains one of the hottest and most romantic and lovely sex scenes she has written (imho) - I won't spoil it; you'll know it when you read it - and I promise you will love it.
For me, Radclyffe's message is that the love of a woman, and sex with a woman, offers redemption - it's good and it saves us. I can't get enough of this - and this book does not disappoint.
