A fantastically captivating book!,
By
This review is from: Tomorrow's Promise (Paperback)
"I promise I'll do it tomorrow" is such an easy phrase to say. But what if you weren't guaranteed a tomorrow much less able to make a promise to anyone?One woman faced with an uncertain future, runs away seeking a place of solace. What is she running from? Why is she running? Arriving at a place called Whitley Island, she meets a woman who is running recklessly into life seeking....something. What is she seeking and will she know it when she finds it? Forming what seems a tentative friendship at best, one begins to experience "feelings" for the other. One hesitates to form any feelings at all. Can they deal with life as it's presented on a day to day basis with or without a "promise of tomorrow"? What will they do when "Real Life" intrudes into the picture? Who or what is this real life intrusion? And will the old saying of "Love Conquers All" prove true? Radclyffe is a tremendously talented writer and once again rings true with her ability to hold the reader captive, taking them through a gambit of emotions during a dramatic tale of life, love, loss and the pursuit of happiness.

Today's Best Read,
By P. Bigelow - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tomorrow's Promise (Paperback)
The plot of this book is as described elsewhere.Whether you read Radclyffe's series books, like the Justice series or the Honor series or the Provincetown series, or you read one of her stand-alone romances, you can not go wrong. I have been reading lesbian fiction for many years, and can honestly say that I have never come across a writer that has so affected me. Her characters are strong, intelligent, and romantic. Naysayers will say that Radclyffe's characters are too perfect almost never flawed - either in looks or character. That may be true, but aren't you tired of the genre's penchant for ordinary? Radclyffe's characters are always enchanting, intoxicating, enticing, and intense. The stories, particularly in the series books, are all first class. Most of her series books are page-turners. And in two of the books, I actually turned to the last page to make sure that the main characters survived - something I never do. Radclyffe let us believe, at least for the duration of each of her books, that the grand passion, the true love, the happy-ever-after are all possible. She lets us believe that being a strong, intelligent woman does not mean that we will be alone and/or isolated. The only caveat I have is to read the series books in order. And if you enjoy watching a writer grow, then read the non-series books in the order they were written and watch Radclyffe's talent grow before your very eyes. 10 of 11 people found the following review helpful

Awesome and heart wrenching,
By K. Isserman "Kisserman" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tomorrow's Promise (Paperback)
Once again Radclyffe has written a book where you can feel the emotions of the characters.Adrienne has escaped her own tortured world, expecting to be left alone, but along comes Tanner... Radclyffe's character development and love scenes are the best in lesbian fiction today. You become invested in the characters and want to know if there is a happy ending. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful

Not Up to Rad's Usual Standard...,
By K. Johnson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tomorrow's Promise (Paperback)
For only the second time, this reader is giving a 4-star rating to a Radclyffe book. In `Tomorrow's Promise,' Rad introduces Adrienne Pierce. Adrienne is a recent survivor of a breast cancer scare during which she had a single mastectomy. Her lover of several years became distant and her career was put on the back burner. Adrienne decides to spend the summer alone on Whitley Point, a secluded semi-private island off the coast of Maine. There, she meets the enigmatic Tanner Whitley - wild child and heir to the Whitley fortune.Tanner is soon enamored by older Adrienne and the women find themselves falling into a tentative love relationship. Tanner is convinced Adrienne is there to stay and is devastated when Adrienne decides to return to her regularly-scheduled life. The book seems to end abruptly without closure to many of the issues introduced by the author. There is not enough time allowed (i.e., only a page or two) for the characters to embrace their future. Neither the characters of Adrienne nor Tanner seem fully developed. Only Tanner's past seems to have any dimensionality. Adrienne's only includes her career in the military and her estranged former lover/wife. As with any Radclyffe book, no collection of lesbian fiction is complete without including this one. However, it just doesn't seem to rise to her standard level of excellence. |
