Consequences, the sequel to Choices, is an action packed, drama filled novel that is a fast and enjoyable read. The story revolves around three relationships that are in various relationship stages: Lena/Denise, Cooley/Misha, Carmen/Nic. These ladies have a hard enough time dealing/communicating with each other, but then add to the mix a husband, ex-lovers, a stalker, and a host of secondary characters–it’s the perfect recipe for conflict.

Each leading lady in Consequences has either one of two issues: she’s not satisfied with the life that she has but doesn’t know what she wants, or she yearns for a relationship she can’t have while settling for less. Both situations lead to an atmosphere that is ripe for heartache and heartbreak.

Though not perfect, the characters are multi-faceted and, even when they are doing wrong, you still hope that they see the light and do what’s right.

This Saturday, I’ll be part of a panel on butch/butch lesbian relationships:
