Book Review: A New Voice in Lesbian Action Novels
Summary: 5 Stars

Nicole Stone is a big city, veteran cop on the East coast. She's cynical and hard-nosed, not to mention closed-off from most people. She lives her life like so many cops do: with a great big wall up around her. All that changes when two things happen: her male work partner is shot and nearly killed, and his sister, Carly Jamison, flies into town.

The investigative aspects and the driven quality of Nic's search for the culprits who attempted to kill her partner is the center of the book. I was a ways into this novel when I realized that a lot of the fiction written by, for, and about lesbians doesn't usually have much action in it--not action/adventure, I mean. The author has done an especially good job on the scenes where Nic Stone has to deal with the bad guys. The growing relationship between Nic and Carly is important, too, but unlike many romance novels, it doesn't hog center stage. In the end, the author did a good job juggling the two interwoven plots--one of action/police work and the other of the growing attraction between the two women.

Previously published, this solid new edition has been re-edited to smooth out a few hiccups, and Pawlowski's first novel is set-up nicely for a sequel. VENDETTA has a complete and satisfying ending, but one is left wondering what will happen to the relationship Nic and Carly began to explore in this first book. I look forward to the next novel so that I can find out.

Summary of Vendetta

Nicole (Nic) Stone is a career-driven narcotics detective with a haunting past. Unwilling to allow herself to love anyone since her parents' brutal murder, she's spent the past ten years isolating herself from everything but her job. Now Fate has other plans for Nic. After someone tries to kill her partner in cold blood, she meets Carly Jamison, her partner's younger sister. An instantaneous and undeniable attraction catches both women completely off guard and totally complicates both their lives. Can Nic protect her partner and Carly from the clutches of a ruthless drug lord bent on revenge and still open her heart to the one woman who could change her life forever?
