New Lease Of Love by Arizona Tale is a sweet lesbian romance set in the Rainbow Central bar. The story between Olivia and Quinn is full of emotions and feelings, and with interchanging POV’s you really get sucked into the story from both character’s perspectives.

Arizona Tape has once again “wowed” me. New Lease of Love tackles a tough issue and does not shy away from the harshness of it. (I just had to read the synopsis to see if Tape mentions anything and does not so no spoilers rainbows!!!! Almost had me!) Tape introduces Quinn and Olivia’s first meeting on the first page and in the middle of it. We are literally dropped cold feet into their waters just as Quinn is in her new life.

Tape gives us both character points of view which is great as we see how they both deal with the changes that end up resulting from that first meeting. Then once Tape puts on the steam...whew. So much can be said in a kiss if Tape is writing it. The love scenes are fade-to-black, but who cares when a kiss goes on for a page?!

All I can say is that I want to sit at the Rainbow Central with a coffee after work and dance at it on a Saturday night. I just want more.

I received an ARC of this book and I am writing a review without prejudice and voluntarily.
