REVIEW:
Prairie Women in Love set in the 1800’s was a delightful tale of school teachers, young love, and forbidden love. The ending made me smile and left me plenty to think about, one of those being, ‘I wonder how many women duped as spinster’s were in fact in lesbian relationships.
Civil war Women in Love – Wow this one left me reeling. I haven’t read many stories with black slaves and their white bosses. I couldn’t even begin to imagine how these two heroines could have any hope of a HEA! The story is heart wrenching, and far from plain sailing, especially when the girls go on the run. However, the ending left me smiling, thank goodness.
Dames with Dames – This story features a private ‘dick’ and his secretary, when she is sent undercover and meets up with Teresa things become interesting and heated in more than one sense of the word.
West Point Women in Love – This was probably one of the most fleshed out stories. It starts in the year 1976 and spans to an epilogue set in 2008. A great deal of the plot revolves around life as a cadet. The time spent at ‘Beast’ (boot camp) is told in great detail. The daily grind, holding elbows just so, rigid regimes and so on. Some will love that, others perhaps not so much. I found the narration a little odd, its told as if an outsider is looking yet also from the character’s point-of-view. It’s difficult to explain.
In summary these four stories were a mixed bag. One suffered a little from head hopping but all were well edited and easy enough to follow. I’m sure many readers will enjoy this thought provoking collection.
