    About this ebook

    Mystery writer Bethany Lange wasn’t prepared for the twisting emotions that left her breathless the moment she laid eyes on folk singer sensation Ali Hart. Of course she was flat on her back and looking up and backward at the gorgeous singer, but that didn’t stop her body and heart from bursting into a kaleidoscope of want, need, and lust. Scared at the intensity of her feelings, Bethany does everything she can to avoid Ali at Camp Jacomo, the camp designed specifically for children of lesbian and gay families where Bethany volunteers every summer. The camp director convinces the hottest singer at the moment, Ali Hart, to spend a week teaching the children music to everybody’s delight except Bethany’s. On her last day at camp, Ali approaches Bethany with an offer of friendship, but they both know it’s the prelude to something bolder. Should Bethany take the risk? Does she really believe she can balance her quiet private life with Ali’s outspoken one?

    Kris Bryant

    Kris Bryant grew up a military brat living in several different countries before her family settled down in the Midwest when she was twelve. Books were her only form of entertainment overseas, and she read anything and everything within her reach. Reading eventually turned into writing when she decided she didn’t like the way some of the novels ended and wanted to give the characters she fell in love with the ending she thought they so deserved. Earning a B.A. in English from the University of Missouri, Kris focused more on poetry, and after some encouragement from her girlfriend, decided to tackle her own book.

      I wasn't sure what to expect with the title being what it was.It was the story of Bethany and Ali. Bethany, a mystery writer and counselor at a summer camp called Jacomo. IT's a camp for gay and lesbian youth. Somewhere where they can be safe and free to be themselves. (Although the PR material made the camp sound like it was for the kids of gay and lesbian parents). And Ali's a famous musician who knows the head of the camp, Renee, and on her time off from her tour she stays the week, teaching the kids and generally relaxing and gaining back her strength for the rest of the tour.Oh, and of course, she's meeting Beth as well.It was interesting because while the Camp was an important setting, more of the book actually seemed to take place after Ali left the camp.It was a pretty typical lesbian romance novel, none of the twists were immensely surprising. But I liked the characters. Val and Renee from the Camp were cool and some of Ali's family was hilarious. But, even more than a lot of books I've read this novel really focused on the two Main Characters and I liked that about it.I do have to say that when I started the book I was worried. I'm not crazy about books that are written in present tense, I've read a few that were so very bad. And it's true that at first I didn't like the present tense, but, as I pushed through that feeling in the first few chapters, something weird happened, the story pulled me in and suddenly I was at the end of the novel thinking 'Whoa, that was a cool and fast ride, oh, and I didn't even notice what tense it was in for the second half of the book'. I think it speaks to the engrossing nature of the plot and characters that I was able to lose myself in the story and not get hung up on the craft of how it was told. A very good thing.I got this advanced galley through Netgalley on behalf of Bold Strokes Books.
