2019 Rainbow Award Honorable Mention
This is truly an amazing book. I’ve never read anything like it! While this book is a romance it is so very much more. There is mystery, adventure, and a bit of paranormal thrown in to make things even more interesting! This is also a book about relationships. Not just between the insanely hot leads (Professor Jordan Armstrong and Professor Noeul Scott) but also their interactions with family, friends, and a deceased wife, who are key in making these two wonderful women who they are. Now to the good stuff… Romance is almost a given (as it is labeled a romance book) but the thing is, you have to wait for it…. Ms. Murphy is such a tease and so darn good at what she does (hot lesbian firefighters KNOW what we want!!!) has made Jordan a very respectful soul so this is a long and slow burn that will leave you wanting and needing long before the professors unite as one. OMG the sensual and sexy dance between them that started the flame flickering with lust and desire will make you burn and ache as much as they do… Very hot!! (I’ll bet you think of them for a long time after reading this book, whew!!!

I began to create lesbian fiction after my wife suggested I write her a story as a personalized gift. I was privileged to be mentored by another published author who helped turn a raw manuscript, into an actual novel. Upon completion, she encouraged me to submit to Desert Palm Press. DPP offered me a contract for my first novel, 'frame by frame' in 2017. My second novel, The Bucket List, was published in late 2018. I credit my storytelling ability to being an avid reader and having an adventure-filled occupation for twenty-five years as a career firefighter.
