Description:

She was aching for Laura, but didn’t want to disappoint her. Drawing herself away from Laura’s hungry mouth she whispered, “I don’t know what to do.” Laura pulled the woman tight against her and kissed her slowly and deeply. Then she leaned back and smiled, “Oh, I think you do…” At 39 years of age, Laura seemed to have it all—a beautiful home, her own advertising agency, and a stunningly beautiful lover. And in business where luscious legs and a dazzling smile can make the difference between winning and losing a new account, Laura won lots of new accounts. But something was missing from her life… Handsome and charming, barhopping Kelly is absolutely irresistible to all women, including herself. Everyone knows that when Kelly sets her sights on someone it is only a matter of time before she gets her way. And she’s got her sights set on Laura… A successful commercial artist who does business with Laura’s firm, Kate has also done well for her 23 years. She has brains, looks, talent—and a secret crush on Laura. But Laura has no intention of mixing business with pleasure—especially not with a “baby-dyke.” ### Review Laura is a beautiful, successful woman who has everything she needs, except a lover. Her painful memories of her previous relationship, however, make her think that true love and monogamous bliss are not for her. Lucky thing, because Kelly, a woman-in-every-port kind of gal, believes that Laura is just right to fill her occasional empty evenings. ...Ann O'Leary takes a fairly predictable situation and shakes it up very nicely, offering more than a few twists on an old story. Better than her plot twists, however, are her very well-developed characters. I especially enjoyed the baby dyke, whose puppy love reminded me of a time very long ago. With some laughs and a few tears, *Letting Go* is a pleasurable read that will open your eyes or bring back memories--or maybe both. -- *Deborah Peifer of the Bay Area Reporter*
