Georgia Beers

What happens when you've already given your heart and love finds you again? Three years after Courtney McAllister loses her partner in a car accident, she's finally trying to move forward. She's even dated halheartedly over the past year, but no one is able to penetrate her emotional barricades until she meets aggressive real estate broker Rachel Hart. Despite Rachel's cool facade, Courtney is drawn to her—when she isn't furious with her. Still, despite an undeniable attraction, Courtney has given her heart once and doesn't have room for that kind of love in her life again. Rachel isn't looking for love, especially not with a woman who belongs to someone else, and taking second place has never been her long suit. -- publisher's website.

Ah now ... this is where my true colours appear to come out. I’m a sucker for romance. I picked this book up because Amazon kept telling me I’d like it and then it was staring at me when I was shopping one afternoon at AfterStonewall (displaying the cover definitely makes a difference when you have 10 foot tall bookshelves crammed with lesbian themed novels). The main character, Courtney McAllister, is slowly putting her life back together after her partner passed away three years ago. She’s trying to move on with her life and move from the house that they had shared. After a rather disastrous first meeting with Rachel Hart, her realtor, the two women proceed with a rather touching romance as their relationship develops slowly and they both deal with their own doubts and fears. Courtney’s grief and guilt are still raw and need to be dealt with – which Beers handles admirably and made me stop and think about what the loss of a partner would be like. As this is a romance, the focus of the book both of them and their relationship are well developed and there are lots of sweet, funny and poignant moments between the two – and a nice bit of chemistry. A very nice romance novel.
