5.0 out of 5 stars A Wicked Good Read 18 Nov 2004
By Mary Chowen
Format:Paperback
Set in the snow covered scenery of Bailey's Cove on the coast of Maine. Christina a middle aged and wealthy land owner is being harrased by her not so friendly neighbours.
Forst Ranger Miki is drafted in to do surveillance on her property.But it turns out that it's mostly not the intruders that catch her eye.
Christina is beautiful, married & presumed to be straight.
Although Miki is drawn with a more masculine role, she still portrays a sensitivity that is attractive.
Here begins a slow & gentle development of a relationship, with the professional role of protector juxtaposed with lover.
This is a beautifully written book, Sensuous & compelling. It was not easy to put this novel down.

3.0 out of 5 stars Why define the characters with such "butch" & "femme" traits 24 Aug 1999
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This book could have been a very good romance/mystery story, but I was a little annoyed by the authors decision to make the "Ranger", Miki so overtly masculine that i was constantly asking myself....what does Christina see in her. The only physical traits the author describes for Miki is that she is 6ft tall and has short straight brown/blonde hair. But for the "femme" character, christina, we are told she has the "figure of a model with a small waist" and that her eyes are black and she has a long graceful neck that her looks are equal to Nefertiti. The book contradicts itself because the character Miki states that looks have never been important to her in a lover and yet she falls in love with a woman who looks like a woman whose name means "beautiful one", Neferiti. Miki describes Christina as a willow that bends easily and needs to be protected. In short I found the book to be sexist and the characters one dimensional.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wicked Good Time 7 Feb 2000
By "book2have" - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I came across this book by accident and will subsequently be purchasing the first book written by the author.

I am glad to say that there is another author out there who will become one of my favorites. I agree with the first reviewer about Miki being so overtly masculine. I would have liked a more in depth description of Miki, as in depth as Cristina. And yes, I did have some difficulty in believing what attracted Cristina to Miki, but if you believe that opposites attract and beauty is in the eye of the beholder than you can overlook the physical polarities of the characters and move on from there. What I was extremely impressed with was not so much the plot (which was good). There are many interesting plots out there for books and alot of authors have created, revised and published them. What really impressed me was the authors writing. This lady can write very well and believe me there is nothing more annoying than to have an excellent plot pulverized by someone who can not write. Everything flowed naturally, it was somewhat suspenseful, there was a build up of attraction between both characters and their intimacy was not accomplished within the first half of the book. It occurred later on. Of course there is nothing more interesting than a story of a straight woman who suddenly becomes attracted to someone of the same-sex and gives in to that attraction and pursues the relationship.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wicked Good Time 11 Dec 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Loved Diana Tremain Braund's second book. In fact I was online hoping to find a third book in print. I guess I will have to wait. I noted a previous reviewer complained because of butch-femme images in the book. I thought all the characters in the book were well defined and the plot fun. Plus it kept me on the edge of my seat. I think if anything, the book demonstrates how we should celebrate our diversity rather than pretending our differences don't exist. I hope Diana Tremain Braund continues to write more and more books, because I plan to continue to buy them. Thanks Amazon for carrying them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wicked Good Time is an enjoyable read! 19 Nov 2001
By Burdas - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is my first Diana Tremain Braund book. I was pleasantly surprised. The characters are well developed and the scenery is great. This book shows that a perfect amount of description can be obtained without overkill.
The characters keep you pulling for them to get together. This of course is the basis for any great lesbian romance book. It will not disappoint you.
The mystery portion is a bit predictable but entertaining none the less.
I definately suggest this book to anyone who loves lesbian romance.
