Kellen’s Moment is right up there with other Robin Alexander classics as Scaredy Cat and The Fall. But who am I kidding… after giving 21 of her books a 5 star rating I guess they are all classics in my book. So yeah, I am partial to her special brand of humor.
I just love the way she tells a story. Her main characters mostly fall into a drama-free relationship. They just have fun together, they are mates and most importantly (and this is something we miss a lot in romance novels these days) they communicate. I always find it refreshing how the author can bring some hilarity to the bedroom as well. Maybe it’s because I’m around the author’s age, but I just can relate to her a lot.
So yes, it’s maybe predictable and boring but this is another 5 star review from me and Kellen’s Moment will find a spot on my favorites shelf.
f/f explicit
Themes: oh my gawd there are so many fun parts, Stevie’s mom and her Fleetwood Mac fetish is just hilarious, I basically loved the whole cast, as per the usual we are presented with a butt-ugly cover but I have come to love that as well ;-)

I suppose I am kind of alone on not enjoying this book. Nothing I'm not used to.
My issue with this book was the way it was written. The plot had some potential, unrealistic as it may have been (with the crazy, childish family feuds that somehow two whole towns worth of people seem to just ignore). But the writing ruined it for me.
Here's the thing. This isn't a teen romance novel. The writing would've been a little more bearable had it been. But no, we are reading about a bunch of adults who talk and act like children. Every single communication between two or more character's sounded so immature. We are reading about two grown women falling in love, yet when they talk to each other they sound like children. It just didn't feel right to me.
I would've given this about 3.5 stars for the story alone had the character's actually seemed more realistic and, I don't know, their age? I'm giving it an extra star for there being two, somewhat nicely represented same sex couples in a pond of heterosexuality. But the rest... gets 1 star from me.
