Book Reviews of Infinite Loop

Book Review: A meticulously crafted, sweet journey with depth
Summary: 4 Stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's my first Meghan O'Brien, but on the strength of this outing it will not be the last. The reviews that rate this author as a good story teller are spot on. There wasn't any big drama or plot swirling around these characters. They don't meet because Mel has a case that involved Regan. They aren't thwarting an international conspiracy. This book very softly and sweetly concentrates solely on these two and their burgeoning relationship. We get the details of their thoughts and observations. We experience their hesitations and insecurities. They are real, and behave like real people do. They aren't perfect, but they are distinct.

The strongest part of this book was how it delved into the psychology of its characters. Only occasionally I felt that we were retreading once again an issue that one character or the other had already hashed out, and thus I got a touch impatient. The author has a refreshing take on things, and presents events from a perspective that seemed to stand-out from the average romance novel. She really takes her time to develop and flesh out main characters and secondary characters, and she doesn't miss the significant moments, while at the same time moving the story along. For instance, she doesn't assume the burden of describing every sex scene in intimate detail, but still refers to them having sex frequently enough to convince the reader of the attraction these two women share. Yet at the same time she doesn't neglect the details completely. She hits enough of these scenes with plenty of steamy particulars mixed with the shifting perspectives Regan and Mel experience through their communion that the book achieves a nice balance.

These women deal with issues we all usually face at one time or another: not liking our jobs, having a hard time opening up to our friends, shyness, lonliness, painful childhood experiences. It was nice to have a book about two clear introverts. It was amusing to have Regan be a computer/video-game "geek" and have that be ok. It was so sweet how Mel and Regan were drawn to each other not through games or putting on an act, but through honesty. They genuinely liked who the other woman was, flaws and all, and accepted one another.

I enjoyed the depth of this book, and the meticulous way the author crafted it. There's not much going on apart from the internal journeys of Regan and Mel, but it was a pleasure to take the journey with two decent, intelligent, sensitive women, so that was enough.

Summary of Infinite Loop

Regan O'Riley is a shy software developer who believes she'll never find a woman who can appreciate her self-admitted geekiness. Mel Raines is a lonely cop haunted by a painful past. She has spent years avoiding intimacy with anyone in her life, and she has no intention of changing.

Mel and Regan have a chance meeting in, of all places, a straight bar, and both are surprised at the instant chemistry that springs up between them. But their new connection is put to the test when tragedy strikes Mel's life, forcing her to reconsider her career and her path for the future. When Regan suggests an impromptu road trip to the American Southwest, Mel is eager to grab hold of a temporary escape from reality. But in close company, these two will be tested in ways they never expected. What will happen as they re-examine their choices and their definitions of family? Can Regan and Mel manage to get past obstacles that seem insurmountable?
