Book Reviews of Whitewater Rendezvous
Book Review: Predictable Romance.
Summary: 3 Stars
If you're expecting a fast paced adventure novel like "Hunter's Pursuit," you won't find it in "Whitewater Rendezvous," Kim Baldwin's third novel. Although it's set against the background of an Alaskian kayaking vacation, the journey is not as thrilling as I expected considering the rapid speed excitement of Ms. Baldwin's first novel.
The story centers around Megan, a workaholic lesbian from New York who has to be convinced to take a vacation with her friends to Alaska, where she meets Chaz, a lesbian biology professor and one of the guides who leads the group on a whitewater kayak trip. Chaz is the spitting image of Megan's ex who left her for another woman, and so Megan immediately despises Chaz and gives her the cold shoulder. Chaz is so easy going and laid back I kept wondering when she was going to grow a back bone. Of course, these two will eventually get together in the end, there's no surprise there. I was hoping there would be some twists and turns along the way that would make their impending romance fun to watch unfold, but the rush of the whitewater was more of a trickle.
Kim Baldwin is an excellent writer. However, she should leave the romance novels to all the other lesbian novelists out there and do what she does best -- the action adventure with a bit of mystery thrown in. It's not that she can't write romance, just that there are few who can write the lesbian adventure novel like Ms. Baldwin that it's a waste for her not to go against the norm.
Originally, I gave this three stars because her third book did not measure up to the first. However, after reading a different author's work I realized just how good a writer Kim Baldwin actually is. So, I'm upgrading this to four stars because it's well written. But, it still loses a stars because it could have been so much better.
