Geez Loueeeeez.  W.T.F. is up with some of these f/f book covers?!?!  It's bad enough so many of my lesfic publishers put pictures of trees and hospitals on the covers and are afraid of getting too sexy... but these publishers who cater to the f/f pool of readers (mostly men, I gather) are afraid of putting butches on the cover.  Or they SERIOUSLY never look like the leads inside.  Or it looks like the cover of Penthouse.  Is there no honesty or a happy medium???  pfft.Okay.  Got that off my chest.  I like Paisley Smith but I never bothered ever reading the synopsis of this one due to the cover until I got REALLY interested in her work, lol.  Glad I did.  This is definitely one of my favorite Paisley couples.  (And no, I don't blame writers for what ends up on their covers)In this one we meet an early 20something boyish lesbian in boots and jeans....  who falls for her very mature and widowed 30something piano teacher.  Emily Granger is beautiful, wealthy, and blonde.  I love the classy way she is described and the fact that she hasn't been sexually fulfilled before.  Love an author who doesn't forget to give me a visual of her lovely legs.  Or her lovely skirt.  Or the way her hair falls about her shoulders.  I love these visuals.  Emily's femininity emanates right off the page... my favorite thing about Paisley's femmes.  They are genuinely feminine and delicate... and just passive enough to create a very delicious dynamic with a butch who knows how to take control.I can't get enough of her butch / femme couples when they are like these two.  It's what I liked about Beguiled.  And Beauty and the Butch.  Unfortunately, it's not a long story and won't take more than an hour to read at 50ish pages.  Even so, I'd of probably rated it 4 stars if the stupid drunken brother-in-law hadn't cut in on this story with the lame conflict.  The last bit of the story was... meh.  But I liked the epilogue.The sex is very hot.  I'm not sure why this butch didn't show up packing to those lustful piano lessons at LEAST once... that no-harness dildo scene just didn't cut it, Paisley.  The butch shoulda been packing!!!!. lol.  Other than that... loved the sex scenes.  Very, very sexy couple.  Loved them both.I would love to see this one as an erotic-romance novel.  It's the perfect draft for such a better story.3.5 stars
