Product Description
The winds of fortune are fickle guides...and happiness or heartbreak may be the destination.

For Provincetown local Deo Camara, the only winds that have ever blown her way have been cold and lonely, and she doesn't expect things to improve when she is drawn into a family crisis against her will. Despite a decade of estrangement, however, Deo can't turn her back on the call of blood, no matter how high the price in heartache. Dr. Bonita Burgoyne is pleased with the changes she's made in her life...she has a rewarding new job and is looking forward to renovating the historic sea captain's house she has just purchased. She's content, and that's all she needs to be, or so she thinks until she hires Deo to head up the renovations. They have nothing in common except a shared legacy of betrayal by those they'd trusted the most, and an impossible attraction they would both prefer to ignore. Meanwhile, Bonita's new associate Dr. Tory King and her partner, Reese Conlon, must cope with the aftermath of the winds of war and the approaching fury of a very real gathering storm.

The fifth in the saga of the Provincetown Tales.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 4.0 based on 9 reviews)

Good

Compared to the other books in the series, I think this one is pretty good. Not the best, but good, a solid installment that kept me interested in the characters. Reese and Tory, have slipped in the background somewhat on this one, but are still the heartbeat of the novel--I would have loved more storyline on Bri and Carre, but I definately understand that this was Nita's story and journey-but I felt the reasoning for some of her issues just didn't compell me.

Radclyffe does it again

A Radclyfffe book is a guaranteed good book. This latest saga in the Provincetown series is the best one so far. I have grown very attached to all the characters.

Winds of Fortune

Winds of Fortune

Another good read in a series of good books. For me, a good book to read is a great way to reward myself and Radclyffe's books are the best reward there is.

Deftly woven tale handled by a master - 3 1/2 stars

I'll start off by saying that I rarely read anthologies or short stories because I'm always left wanting more, to know more, to experience more. That's just my quirk, and perhaps my attention deficit disorder, but it colors my reviews. For me this book hit a lot of similar buttons of mine: with so many characters going about their lives I sort of get frustrated and left with the over all impression that the book was somewhat shallow.

However, Radclyffe is so skilled at transitioning between the sets of characters and interweaving the story lines, that I can't stay annoyed. Other authors are not able to pull this off nearly so well. I've complained on multiple books about the lack of transitory language, and connection between scenes, and this is something I never have to worry about with Radclyffe. It's such a pleasure to just experience, and that alone is worth the extra half star.

I've loved the characters of Tory and Reese since Safe Harbor, and was pleased with the peace they found in this outing. Bri has grown on me; and Allie actually stopped being annoying in this book. I too would like to see a book with more of her, and her journey to getting her life together. Meanwhile, my enjoyment at getting to spend time with this family (I forgot, KT and Pia are also back in supporting roles) lends this book more depth than if it was written in a vacuum. Nita and Deo are intriguing, and their courtship is fraught with past hurt and anger, and it's nice to see them find kindred souls in one another.

Well worth the time of fans of this series, but if you haven't read any of the previous books, you'll like it, but you'll probably also wonder what all the fuss is about in what appears to be a fairly standard romance.

never disappointing

If you are a Radclyffe fan this will not disappoint you. Intelligently written and well rounded. The character development is strong and consistent. If you are not a Radclyffe fan... WHY NOT??? You're missing some of the best lesbian fiction on the market.
