*Short Story - 46 pages*This one follows the awakening of romance book rep, Maddie Jacobs, who has been running from commitment (with her boyfriend)... but finds something solid in a woman she meets while vacationing in Bella Key, Florida.  That woman runs a beachside Bed and Breakfast where Maddie stays alone with her.  It's instant, u-haul love after a day or two.... after sharing fish and a frat boy fantasy masturbation scene.  How else do hot femmy chicks hook up?!One mark of a good story for me is if I'm reading it Sunday night instead of watching my zombie soap opera (or at least reading it during the commercials!).  I didn't even consider picking it up.  I only picked it up later at all to finish it.  And I only finished it because it was pretty short.  I don't even have much to say about this one... it was pretty boring and I didn't find the lead chemistry or sex very believable.  Characterization was so shallow I didn't even care about them. In about an hour I won't even remember their names.  I think the other woman, Sunny, was even Hispanic... she does say "Chica" at the end of every sentence, lol.  Didn't even care, though.  But I thought it was funny that this language pattern suddenly appeared pages and pages after meeting her.I gave it an extra star for making me chuckle upon meeting the romance writer Maddie meets in Florida... best-selling romance author everyone thinks is a woman (because his sister impersonates him), but he's really a plump little man, lol.  You know it happens...Overall, the writing was pretty simplistic.  Some writers, like this one, who normally write m/f stuff can cross over into f/f okay... not in this case.  Just couldn't get into it at all, Chicas.
