From the Publisher
A runaway best-seller with seven reprints in its first edition, Passion Bay is now released in an updated and expanded second edition almost 25% longer than before. Book I in Fulton's unique Moon Island series, this classic light romance belongs on the shelves of every lesbian romance fan.

From the Author
This is the first edition of Passion Bay. I have now released an expanded second edition (find it under ISBN 1932300252). The sequel Saving Grace is also in an expanded second edition (ISBN 1932300260). A brand new third novel in the series, The Sacred Shore is now also available. Thank you to all those readers who've written to me requesting this long awaited sequel.


Customer Reviews

Unique and sensual5
This is a really original story that is also funny and hot. The characters are incredibly real and their romance is touching and passionate. It's hard to find a lesbian romance that is truly romantic and sensual, but which also has SIZZLE. Passion Bay gets it right first time.
Being an avid reader of romances, I have found many seem to be written according to a formula and some authors write the same book over and over. So it was a breath of fresh air to read a novel as unique as this one. The writing is intelligent and well crafted and the story doesn't take itself too seriously. This is one romance you won't regret buying!

Good, But . . .3
The plot for this book is as described elsewhere. The author certainly has a real feel for her location. Her descriptions are vivid - so much so that you can feel the sticky heat and see the ocean curling in on the beach.

However, the author does not yet have as good a talent for character development. I never got a feel for the characters that I do in, say, a Gerri Hill novel. The characters come from vastly different backgrounds, but you never got the feeling that there would be conflict - certainly a computer geek and a commodities trader would have trouble communicating outside the bedroom upon occasion. Although the author told us there was a soul-level attraction between Cody and Annabel, the reader just never felt it.

It also seemed like the author rushed the ending - here we are in the middle of a life-threatening hurricane and on the next page there's sunshine, and every one is safely home. The tension of the storm could have been a real page turner of an ending for the author.

This author has real potential to be a first-class writer of lesbian fiction. And I will read book 2 in the Moon Island series, but won't read beyond that if the character development in the second book is as shallow as this.

Wow! This captured me from the beginning and kept imprisoned5
Annabel, and Cody were easy to imagine and seemed to come to life from the pages. The story was well developed and their was real development of the relationship that let you believe they were falling in love. I am glad to know that I will meet these two who are old friends to me now, in Saving Grace. Thanks Jennifer and can we have another!
