Brilliant story!

Anyone But You by K.G. MacGregor

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


What a brilliant story!

I might have missed that one, if Clare Lydon’s review had not shown in my feed. I liked all I read of her books so far, so her 5 star review got me hooked.

Not only is this book in my momentary favourite genre. lesbian fiction, It deals with a struggle I have had professionally myself since 1995, clean energy versus fossil fuel, only in my case have also been protesting against nuclear energy since 1970.

So of course the book drew me. As an author of a crime/romance mix novel I could write a book aboutt how difficult it sometimes is to ramp up the tension again and again without losing or even killing off the romance, even more so if it is a lesbian one. Here, though, it has been done perfectly and so has the romance!

Some of the arguments of the MC’s environmental group are a little narrow minded, but I really should not expect a writer of romance novels to know as much about the topic as a technical consultant with a highly scientifically minded training and 20 years of experience in living with a maximum of energy self-sufficiency and organic food production.

As it is a brilliant thriller I can even recommend it to non lesbian and/or non romanctically minded readers, as you could just skim th love scenes focussing on the dialogue and you probably wouldn’t miss anything important of the fascinating action.
