  • LGBTQIA Small Town Romance

    Lockset by Brenda Murphy University Square #2 Eunice Park never thought she would return to her hometown but when she did reach home again one of the first people she saw became her tower of strength. Both women grew up in the same town but did not know one another from childhood. Their road was not easy but they do manage to weather all that comes their way and build a strong relationship as a result of it all. What I liked: * Eunice Park: lawyer, intelligent, focused, professional, career-minded, estranged from her family, too busy for a relationship. * Morgan Wright: locksmith, warm, caring, animal lover, family oriented, loving, empathetic, unlucky in love, a great person. * Rudy: the rescue dog that Morgan meets near the beginning of the book * Morgan’s family: diverse, interesting, there for one another, supportive, likable, and everything a person would want in a family. * That the main characters were both mature, knew how to communicate, were gainfully employed, and were open to love * The story, writing, secrets, mysteries, and resolution * That the story felt believable and events described – good and bad – can and do occur in the real world. * The food – I looked up several dishes mentioned and am eager to make a few or try them if I can find them. * Seeing some of the characters mentioned in the previous book * Wondering who will be up next in the next book of the series What I did not like: * Realizing that some of the bad things that happened in this story in fact do occur in real life and relationships. Did I enjoy this book? Yes Would I read more in the series? Yes Thank you to NetGalley and Ninestar Press for the ARC – This is my honest review 4 Stars

  • A nice sequel to On the Square

    Eun is a mess. Her career is her whole life but is it worth it? Five years ago, she left her father’s house yelling at him after he tried some intervention to stop her from being a lesbian. His sudden death brings Eun back to her hometown and highlights how lonely she really is. When she meets Morgan, the locksmith who took her father’s dog in (not that Eun even knew he had a dog), it’s lust at first sight. I find instalust in books much more plausible than instalove. And the way Brenda Murphy exposes it makes total sense. How it turns into more too. Because she’s a mess, Eun is pretty frustrating. She’s always done what was expected of her (except the lesbian thing) so she’s not sure what she wants. Morgan is incredibly patient with the back and forth but she, too, has her own insecurities (how could a woman like Eun want a woman like Morgan?) so she screws up too. And that’s when I wanted to yell at the both of them. Talk, people! You can’t accuse the other of stonewalling instead of talking if you run away too. Ugh. Fortunately, Brenda Murphy doesn’t write stupid people so the not-communicating didn’t last too long. They did have a lot of sex, and while I’m usually all for it, it felt a bit repetitive. Lockset is the second book in the University Square series but can be read as a standalone. I may have liked it a little more than the first book, On the Square, and I recommend reading both. I received a copy from the publisher and I am voluntarily leaving a review.

    Thanks for your feedback!
