I have never read anything set during Prohibition, nor have I ever read a book featuring 2 women in a lesbian relationship.  What an incredible surprise.  Alyssa managed to give me a taste of the historical setting and the flavor of that time.  Within a few pages, I cared what happened to the Preacher's daughter and I understood her confusion and uncertainty about her own feelings.  Her introduction to the girlfriend of the rum runner leads her to explore her feelings and desires in a simple, well choreographed romance that draws the reader in to the sensitivity of the situation and the young women involved.I enjoyed it immensely.
