Product Description

Ninety minutes, twice a day. Five days a week.

Car pool heaven turns into car pool hell when Anthea Rossignole realizes her lover is having an affair with the other woman sharing their daily commute. It seems that Anthea’s successful career as a cost analyst at an oil refinery is the only thing she can really count on these days. Now she’s looking for someone to share the long drive.

Shay Sumoto desperately needs a car pool. Though wildly overqualified, the environmental biologist takes a low-paying job testing well samples to keep body and soul together. The debt from her father’s terminal illness and the loss of the company she and her father owned have left her with no money, no time and no sense of humor.

When Shay and Anthea begin carpooling together, they find that first impressions of each other don’t bode well, and second impressions don’t improve their chemistry much. But when Shay uncovers alarming test results in her work — information that could cost both of them their jobs — Anthea is the only person she trusts for advice. Can two very different women find common ground?

It's Never an Easy Commute on the Freeway of Love.

Love on the Freeway
I am an avid reader of lesbian fiction ,book seller and writer. Reading Karin Kallmakers books are always a delight. I am completing the reading her entire body of work ,as her writing have been mastered as a wonderful story teller.This book is as varied as all of her different plots and enjoyable characters. I enjoyed Carpool the book kept me waiting for the final resolution I recommend this highly.

I Had Forgotten...
...how enjoyable this book is until I picked it up and re-read it recently. I have always been a fan of Kallmaker's, and this particular novel ranks among those that I would pass along to my friends. (In fact, it's in a bag waiting to be picked up by a friend now.)

The characters were well developed and interesting, the plot was never tiresome, and the romance tugged at your heartstrings in all the right ways.

Wonderful story of real people facing real problems and overcoming them beautifully.
This novel was worth reading if only for the first chapter. By the end of the chapter you are totally invested in the two main characters and feel you want to meet them as real people. The scene where Anthea confronts Lois is simply and amazingly real. I really admire the characters and how they deal with the hardships and delights that life throws at them. It also has the best written gay males (friends of the two main characters) in any lesbian romance I have read.

I love how the characters confront a workplace bigot - it was really well written (I just wish I was there to see it and hope other authors include a dose of such realism when appropriate).

The love scenes are delectable and so well written you wish the novel was longer. They advance the story perfectly and illustrate the characters as dialogue never can. Liberally laced thoughout the novel is delightful humor. The scene illustrating the need for good kitchen hygiene will never be forgotten.

This novel is a keeper you will read again

I can't wait to read the short story sequel in the author's anthology 'Frosting On The Cake'
