About this listen

Is it possible to be so much alike that you're completely incompatible? Tess and Sidney have both committed the greatest online dating faux pas possible: uploading old pictures. When the two tough butches meet at a small town bar, they think they're getting the femmes of their dreams.

So begins the awkward - yet sordid - acquaintance of the only two lesbians in town. Local rancher Tess doesn't have time for women who aren't her type, and new-girl-in-town Sidney isn't interested in someone who only sees her as a piece of fresh meat.

Yet they keep bumping into each other...is it fate, or just small-town karma?

A bad date turns into a one-night stand. A one-night stand turns into a casual relationship. A casual relationship becomes Sidney's greatest amusement, and Tess's biggest nightmare as she's slowly forced out of the closet in conservative River Rock.

Desperate times are afoot in the sleepy, gossipy hamlet of rural America. It's going to take more than nerves of steel to survive the isolationism and people with nothing better to do than ruin their neighbors' lives.

It's going to take a whole lotta introspection - and love.

Funny and lovely story about two women with false expectations. It was funny and also hot. The problem about being gay in this conservative town was realistic and reasonable. The Chemistry between Sidney and Tess was great and Marie Smith did a great Job!! Thank you it was a pleasure.

Really loved these two butches

A great story of 2 butches who dupe each other. It is funny in places and brought the characters together in good times and bad. The narrator was good and told the story well. I definitely recommend this audio book. ❤
