In the third installment in this acclaimed lesbian romance series, Jennifer Fulton brings together an ensemble cast in a story that combines themes of love and loss, renewal and spirituality and of course her trademark humor and sensuality. Successful tech industry survivor, Merris Randall does not believe in love at first sight until she meets songwriter, Olivia Pearce. But Olivia is deeply scarred from a damaging relationship, and has no plans to love again. Thrown together in a sensuous paradise thousands of miles from home, each woman discovers the unexpected--in herself and in life. UCLA anthropologist Dr. Glenn Howick is also on Moon Island, chasing the career-making discovery of a lifetime. Glenn must decide if she can exploit the woman-centered spirituality of another culture. A moral dilemma also looms when post-grad student whose love threatens both Glenn's reputation and her most secret self. Life seems complete for the island's owners, Cody and Annabel, but there's trouble in paradise. As preparations underway for the secret rituals local women conduct on Moon Island, Annabel's cousin Melanie shows up with a young baby and a desperate problem.
There were too many characters in this 188-page book to provide a satisfying read of which Fulton is capable. The real romance was tepid as a result and was decidedly un-romantic. The first two books in this series were good and can be read without having to worry about this one, so do yourself a favor and skip it.
