Summary: 5 Stars
Everyone and everything has two sides. So which side do you choose?
Tennis star, C.J. Winslow, is beautiful, talented and aging in a sport that is quick to be cruel to those that are. CJ has suddenly found herself in the unenviable position of no longer being at the top of her sport. However, she was number one once and she is determined to be again. Now all she has to do is make some hard changes...to her game and to her life. Will CJ be able to do what is necessary? Even if it means that she has to put business before loyalty and friendship?
Sports physical therapist, Trystan Lightfoot has been brought in by the women's professional tennis organization to treat CJ and the other female players on tour. At the top of her profession Trystan seems to have it all --all that is, except personal happiness. Trystan has been badly scarred by an unrequited love, a memory she can't seem to let go of.
Mistrustful of each other in the beginning, CJ and Trystan find they must band together when an event from CJ's past collides with her present. It's obvious that life caused the paths of both women to cross. Could it be to bring Trystan a chance to love someone who'll love her back? Or perhaps, to help CJ learn that being true to one's self is the most important goal of all? Will defenses long held be lowered enough to let either of these things happen? Will strangers become friends? Friends become lovers?
Lynn Ames is a talented writer with a proven track record who enthralled readers with her intensely dramatic Kate and Jay series, The Price of Fame, The Cost of Commitment and The Value of Valor. With her fourth book introducing two new dynamic characters in Trystan and CJ, Ms. Ames proves that her track record is most definitely still intact.
Summary of The Flip Side of Desire
Trystan Lightfoot allowed herself to love once in her life; the experience broke her heart and strengthened her resolve never to fall in love again. At forty, however, she still longs for the comfort of a woman's arms. She finds temporary solace in meaningless, albeit adventuresome encounters, burying her pain and her emotions deep inside where no one can reach. No one, that is, until she meets C.J. Winslow. C.J. Winslow is the model-pretty-but-aging professional tennis star the Women's Tennis Federation is counting on to dispel the image that all great female tennis players are lesbians. And her lesbianism isn't the only secret she's hiding. A traumatic event from her childhood is taking its toll both on and off the court. Together Trystan and C.J. must overcome their challenges to find the flip side of desire.Lesbian Books
