And Lee is challenged by a woman unlike any she has ever known.From Library JournalThe author of the Carol Ashton detective series has departed from her usual genre to write a diverting novel about a lesbian struggling with the problems of coming out. Employed as a tour director in Australia, Alexandra Findlay faces a dilemma when she falls in love with Lee Paynter, the openly lesbian head of a U.S. travel company, whom she has been assigned to escort on outback tours. An earlier affair whose exposure resulted in her lover losing a job has made Alexandra sharply aware of what public knowledge of her sexual identity could cost her, particularly since she works with Steve Monahan, a homophobe who is competing with Alexandra for a promotion. McNab has a sure hand with the colorful Australian setting, and the erotic scenes play well, but her serious theme demands characterizations with more depth.- Harriet Gottfried, NYPLCopyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.
