Product Description

Seven months, eight months, nine months ... a lifetime. Exchanging gentle kisses at the top of Mt. Tam, Jamie and Ryan declare their love for one another. Studying for exams and training for the AIDS Ride, they experience the tentative fumblings and frustrations of adjusting to a new relationship. Though Ryan is determined to proceed at a pace that is comfortable for her neophyte partner, their need for each other grows stronger with every passing hour- whether they are together or apart. "We begin a magical journey. A journey of exploration, a journey of wonder, a journey of commitment. A journey we make together." The speech at the beginning of their 560 mile biking odyssey epitomizes their feelings about the Ride, and about the beginnings of the life they plan to share.

Customer Reviews

Sweet and spicy, you'll be hooked after page1
Ryan and Jamie are introduced in Awakenings, the first book in the I Found My Heart in San Francisco series. I'd suggest reading Book 1 to fully appreciate this couple and their love story but it isn't a requirement. Susan tackles the feelings and anxieties of coming out that every lesbian faces no matter what age she is. Plus she writes a sweet, funny and sexy love story that is appealing to any lover of romance. Buy this one - you won't be disappointed.

Delightful
Beginnings tells the story of Jamie & Ryan's courtship & deepening feelings. It's a lovely story. Trust me; any of Susan Meagher's lesbian romances are worth buying.

Depth of character that is an absolute treat
This is a wonderful story. Happy Sigh ...I Love this series and the two main characters. In Awakenings, the first novel of the I Found My Heart in San Francisco series, we met Ryan O'Flaherty and Jamie Evans, juniors at the University of California at Berkeley.

The two main characters, Jamie and Ryan, are as endearing as they were in the first book (I just can't get enough of them). The author explores them thoroughly so that the reader gets to know them well.

This novel is a substantial read to be savoured. Oh My Goodness, this was fun reading.

I was completely delighted to see this novel in print. Excellent writing, perfectly paced plot, lovable characters. I was riveted to every page and didn't want to put the book down. I always hold off opening this author's novels until first thing Saturday morning so I can read as much as possible in the next 48 hours.

Along with the great plot the humor is laugh out loud funny. The author, who I thought was perfection in her other novels, All That Matters, Cherry Grove and Arbor Vitea just keeps surprising me with one hit novel after another.

I am already clamoring for the next novel in this series. I must mention that the quality of the book itself is outstanding from the paper, to the cover to the printing. Terrific cover!

This is a Keeper!
