With the Come Again series, centered on a group of old and
new friends with ties to the sex shop Come Again, Miranda
Baker writes erotica for the 21st century. Though she
generally adheres to the boy-meets-girl expectations of the
romance genre, Ms. Baker has crafted intriguing characters
who take ownership of their own sexuality and aren't afraid
to embrace the unconventional in the bedroom. The women in
particular tend to be unapologetically flexible in their
sexual preferences while still willing to embrace the
happily-ever-after.
In GIRL TROUBLE, Ms. Baker flips to girl-gets-girl to gives
us Bonita's story. Owner of Come Again, Bonita Pritchard has
watched her friends find their soul mates, all the while
hiding her own heartbreak. She can't have the woman she has
loved most of her life, Kat St. James. Kat left town at 18
for Hollywood. Now she finds herself trapped by the image
that made her a star. Kat worries that admitting she is gay
will destroy her career yet she is desperately unhappy
without Bonita, the woman who has refused to even speak to
her for three years. Bonita, unable to resist Kat's pull
any longer, shows up on Kat's doorstep knowing that it's
only a matter of time before she must disappear in order to
protect Kat. Can Kat convince Bonita that she's willing to
risk everything so they can be together?
GIRL TROUBLE is a tender and sexy story about risking it all
for love. Bonita and Kat have a shared history that adds
emotional depth to the story. They were best friends and so
much more but have had to deny that due to family and social
pressures. Ms. Baker deftly illustrates the risks they must
take and the hope and love that makes those risks possible.
Bonita and Kat have a very strong chemistry and a commitment
that kept me rooting for their happy ending. Most of the
action takes place in California, but we do get to hear some
welcome and familiar voices as Bonita calls home for moral
support.
Bonita Pritchard has tried everything to get over the one
woman she can’t have, movie star and secret lover Kat St.
James. Yoga, tantra, psychotherapy, even BDSM. Nothing has
helped for long.
Hanging on the thinnest thread of
denied desire, Bonita heads for Hollywood to get her Kat
fix, fully intending to return straight home to her sex-toy
boutique, Come Again. Until she sees the surprise Kat has in
store for her.
Playing the talented bad girl kick-started Kat’s career
twelve years ago. Now she’s famous, filthy rich…and totally
miserable. Leaving Bonita in Norton was a mistake, and she’s
planning one last attempt to fix it—by transforming her
king-sized closet into a dungeon. And using her training as
a Domme to satisfy her lover’s latest kink.
Soon,
their white-hot need for each other transcends their desire
to protect Kat’s heterosexual screen-siren image. But when
compromising pictures surface, Kat realizes there’s only one
way to beat the tabloid gossip that’s tearing them apart.
Fight fire with fire…
Warning: This book contains kink in the closet, sexy games
in an SUV, and D/s in the middle of the living room. And
love strong enough to break all bonds.
