It Doesn't Get Better Than Radclyffe
Let me start with the disclaimer that I love Radclyffe's writing as a whole and have read all of her published works at least twice. The author does not disappoint with this one by any means. In fact, it is a great pseudo-prequel to her Justice Series. The main characters (Sloan, Michael, Jason/Jasmine, and Sarah) are very well developed and seamlessly make the tranistion to the Justice story line.

Rad does a masterful job developing even the minor characters in 'Trust.' The most complicated character, Michael, is a wallflower genius who lets her husband handle much of her social activity. That is, until Michael finally gets fed up with his infidelity and decides to file for divorce. Before she can proceed, she has to protect her intellectual property -- her company. After hiring the mysterious, yet talented, JT Sloan to handle the task, Michael finds herself drawn to the woman and subsequently falls in love. Sloan comes with her own emotional baggage as well. The combination of lust and reluctance lends itself to a phenomenal story the reader can't help but enjoy.

Radclyffe has produced a winner in which she tastefully mixes lust with erotica... suspense with intellectual pursuits... hidden worlds with mainstream reality. Very highly recommended. No collection of lesbian fiction is complete unless it includes this one.

Romance at its Best
A Matter of Trust by Radclyffe has been re-released as a 2nd edition, and it was just as much fun reading it the second time as it was the first. True to her style, Radclyffe has written a sexy, powerful love story filled with angst, discovery and passion. Quite simply, she seduces the reader with her prose, only freeing us after we have read the final pages.

A Matter of Trust, now the prequel to the Justice Series, was originally written as a stand alone romance. The story's main characters eventually become critical players in the Series, but in this book, we are first introduced to Michael Lassiter and JT Sloan. Michael hires Sloan, an expert cyber sleuth, to protect her company from her ruthless husband, but their relationship, which is tentative at first, develops into something much more than a business affair.

While both Michael and Sloan have been involved with others before, they are empty inside and in their own way, feel unworthy of a deep all-encompassing love. Their journey to get to this new kind of love is what makes Radclyffe's romances so rewarding to her readers. She is the master at spinning romances where the characters discover a truly passionate and fulfilling love for the first time. Along the way, we experience everything that the characters feel. Radclyffe's words build anticipation and give us release. She captures the uncertainty of first love and its discovery as the plot deftly differentiates between love and sex.

Even if you have read A Matter of Trust before, it is well worth a reread. And if you have not, this book is a must for all those that enjoy getting swept away with a tender and sizzling romance.

Dramatic! Suspenseful!
When a client walks into the office of a computer security company, she is most definitely NOT what they were expecting? There to hire someone to protect her company from a security invasion, one woman finds out that the security "expert" is not what she thought either. Once past the surprise that they are both women, they band together to fight the threat. Just exactly who is the security threat coming from and why? Spending a great deal of time together, both women discover the beginnings of tentative friendship where secrets long held by one are slowly discovered. What are these secrets and what could they cost one or both of the women? Will the ghost of a past cost one a new chance at love and another chance at love for the other?

Radclyffe continuously displays considerable talent, masterfully combining romance and intrigue in the world of the written word. A Matter of Trust is a thoroughly interesting and well-written story of the lives and adventures of very diverse people brought together under stressful circumstances.
