Some Kind of River by Andi Marquette
Lesbian Book Reviews/Romance
TITLE: Some Kind of River AUTHOR: Andi Marquette
ISBN: 978-1-60370-270-6 PUBLISHER: Torquere Press
BOOK BLURB: River guide Dez Parker is looking forward to another summer rafting and kayaking, this time in Idaho. She's also looking forward to another summer with fellow guide Melanie "Mel" Hammond, and for reasons Dez has only just started to explore. Problem is, Mel seemingly isn't interested in anything but friendship with Dez and Dez struggles to bury her feelings in the interest of maintaining that friendship. But when Mel reveals that she has a crush on someone in the guide camp who she won't name, Dez is forced to confront her own emotions. She can either continue to keep her attraction to Mel a secret and risk losing her to someone else, or she can tell Mel how she really feels and risk losing her for good.
BOOK REVIEW: I enjoyed Dez's struggle with remaining friends with Mel and her blossoming feelings for her. I haven't read any lesbian romances in quite a while, but this novella grabbed me by the heart and forced me to fall in love with these two women. Andi's descriptions of the Idaho camp made me want to go camping and rafting, even though I'm not much of an outdoorsy dyke. I'm more of a pampered, city-girl femme, but the author's descriptions are so alive. The scenery and the characters breathe fresh, outdoor air into the reader.
Since I don't want to give away anything, I will simply say that this novella is for all the lesbian romance readers out there. In fact, all romance readers will enjoy this no matter what their orientation is. Highly recommended romance!
