Blurb: Annie's dreading the piano lessons that her grandmother's will demanded she take.until she meets her teacher, Emily. Far from the elderly cat lady Annie had envisioned, Emily is sexy, blonde and completely irresistible.
Emily has never been with a woman, but Annie attracts her in a way that no one else has. Despite Emily's initial misgivings, it doesn't take long for their relationship to move from teacher and student to something much more than either of them expected-something that might lead to the love of a lifetime.
Review: Beyond Curious is a short, snappy story that drops you into the life of a young widowed piano teacher and her new student Annie. Annie isn’t much interested in the piano lessons but is more interested in teaching the piano teacher a thing or two about physical love. The attraction is instant but happily the love isn’t and builds gradually. The story is believable and the characters likeable. Both Annie and Emily clearly define their roles early in the relationship. In only a few pages, the author brilliantly builds the attraction to a fevered pitch. The sex is hot although I thought Annie gave more than she receives. There are obstacles in the way of their becoming an open gay couple, and I found both their reactions to be realistic.
If you haven’t sampled f/f romance, this is a perfect quickie to whet your appetite.
