Critic reviews

"Well written...I loved No Strings Attached and recommend it wholeheartedly." ( The Lesbian Review)

Well done

I vote Ms Bliss' writing is becoming exquisite. What I loved? Over 40 characters and fantastic narration.

Pros: smart characters, good dialogue, realistic coming out jitters
Cons: well, it's a romance so some of the sex scenes are bound to come with typical commentary.

Familiar theme...

I could so relaye to this story as I, too, was,a,late-bien. Monkey's story took me back to my own coming out after having been married to a man, having 2 kids and coming to terms, at 42, with,my attraction to women. Very well written and very poignant for me.

An Amazing Read

I completely enjoyed this read ❤️. I loved the characters and the storyline leaves the reader compelled to keep coming back!!!! I encourage any new reader to try this book—then continue on with, “The Pink Bean” series. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy 😉.

Much needed story

A topic that doesn't get covered much- but needs to be. My only complaint is that I wish the book was longer...

First Book in Marvelous Series

Micke had divorced her husband a year ago and now that she and her two teenagers were settled in the new neighborhood she needs something to do. At the urging of her best friend she take a job at The Pink Bean, a lesbian friendly coffee shop. In her forties she gets a chance at her first relationship with Robin, an American woman. Great performance and author. Recommend Series.

Loved it!

Robin is my favorite character in this book...she reminds me so much of my best friend.

No Strings Attached

Well this was an enjoyable story about a divorced mom who is discovering her attraction to women after a long marriage.
The story flowed along nicely. It almost seems like it was page after page of some very detail sexual encounters. I was surprised at how much sexual activity there was. It wasn’t too much just more than usual. I liked it and I would recommend it.

The narration was of course spot on.

Not particularly memorable

Fantastic narration by Angela Dawe, but unfortunately a predictable unremarkable plot and forgettable characters.

Wonderful story

Loved the confusion and emotions throughout. i think I wanted an Australian narrator coupled with an American one…

terrible. don't bother

I don't know why I continue to try books by this author. I thought an audio version might be better than reading the print version. No such luck. Bad verbiage. Scenes that are partially nonsensical, and overly repetitive lines.
