The Woman In The Barn

A Novel

By: Christine Waters

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Natalie Garner-Bjorge lives with her father and with the fear that she has lost everything she ever loved and cared about—her son. She buries the grief and tries her best to stay afloat, holding onto hope that one day he would return with his father. But the world is nothing like it once was.

Then she finds a woman hiding in her barn.

Tawney Ann Merritt is bruised, broken, and afraid when she shows up in Nat’s barn, on the run from her abusive husband and the cops.

Against Nat’s better judgement, she offers the stranger shelter. What begins as a cautious cohabitation soon grows into something deeper. Two lonely women, scarred in different ways, slowly begin to heal in each other’s presence. They find passion and love they cannot live without. And when an unexpected visitor threatens to destroy that, Nat is faced with the biggest decision of her life; let them take Tawney or do anything she can to keep her safe.

The Woman In The Barn is a steamy, slow-burn lesbian romance set in the backdrop of a post-pandemic world that explores the lengths some will go for love, and the darkness they embrace to protect the ones they cherish.

The virus

Not sure I would call it steamy or slow burn. Yes, it starts out with fear due to zombie apocalypse happening. Once Tawney is cleared of not being infected, Natalie has to brought in the house to nurse her back to health. They get close fairly fast after Tawney is up and about. Natalie has always wanted to be with a woman, but married a man to appease her father.

The story ending without knowing a few ending points. What caused the virus and what is that orb?

I consider the mature content as spicy, not steamy. 🌶️🌶️🔥

Of course virtual voice might have something to do with the rating, as it was awful.
