Return to Me: A Remi/Claudia Story by Fiona ZeddeMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a quick short story about a relationship between a young woman of 29, Remi, and an older woman of 50-something (I've the idea the number 53 might have been used), Claudia. They've been in this relationship for the past two years, and even though both seem quite into each other, quite loving of each other, and even though neither is showing signs of straying - the younger woman is suffering greatly by certain fears. Not that the older woman would leave her. But that Remi would be the one to stray - because everything about this relationship is somewhat out of character for Remi.
Sure, Remi has/had lusted after her friend's mother for a longish while, and didn't act on it until she was an adult. And sure she loves being with her, loves her not just the situation, but . . . she fears being fully herself with Claudia and therefore fears her needs will force her to stray. So she's hiding a part of herself from her lover, and possibly leading down the path to relationship ruin.
Claudia, being smart and stuff, takes things into her own hands and 'fixes' stuff.
This is listed as being 2.5 in a 4 book series. Since this is the first work I've read by this author, it is easy to see that I've not read anything else in this specific series. I do not know what I may or may not have missed in the prior works, but this short sexually explicit story seems fully formed and readable without a lot of previously acquired knowledge. Granted the story begins with the couple already being a couple and if readers need to know how everything came together before reading this story, then don't read this story first. I prefer couples stories, rare as they are (possible I might not prefer them if they weren't so rare).
