Color me shocked. Frankly I thought it might be Lynne Cheney too, except I was under the impression that it was some sort of a western and the *ahem* Sisterly love happened under a wagon.

For a book published in the early 80s in the romance genre, I certainly thought it was cutting edge.

Which is why, I think, we were both so surprised and even impressed, which at least for me was no easy feat in the midst of everything else associated with Edwards these past few weeks. In a way it deepened the mystery of the copying, but it also made me curious about Edwards in a different, less frustrated, way. And yes, if I can squeeze in reading it, I’ll definitely review it.

Than she began to really “take care of Drew” if you know what I mean and I think you do.

I don’t know why, but this is still cracking me up.

Holy cow. Cassie Edwards wrote girl on girl? *blink blink blink*

Shannon – you are right! ding. ding. ding. and Lisa, you are right as well about the plot of the book. Frankly, though, I thought it was much better written than the stilted excerpts that included the copying. I think Robin is considering reviewing it.

I have to admit I was completely gobsmacked when I read the book. I had to read the ending about three times to see if it said what I actually thought it said. For a book published in the early 80s in the romance genre, I certainly thought it was cutting edge.

Fast Women is a much better book in every way.

Okay, it doesn’t sound like something I should read. Maybe I’ll try Fast Women instead.

Or whoever happened to write it first.

That made me laugh for night on 2 minutes.

Oh, and by the way I only read this book once a good 20 years ago and yet it’s burned into my memory

Thank you Shannon Stacey, I would have never remembered the name of that book. I think it is the only Cassie Edwards book that I have ever read.

Don’t be embarrassed, I too was a teenager when I read this book. I think it was because it was scandalous at the time that drew me too it. I mean come on you have a hero who was an unadulterated jerk to put it mildly. A heroine who spent her time watching her employees, who I think were sisters if not twins have sex with customers. The first girl on girl I’d ever encountered in romance, and a whore who seemed to be too good for all of them. Or at least too good for Drew and Eugenia.

Janine, save your self the misery, even at 15 or so I knew it wasn’t good. But like a car wreck you just can’t look away.
