Summary: Kallmaker leaves me wanting more.
Comment: I read Touchwood before I read Watermark and I have to admit to having mixed feelings about the first book. While I thought Louisa was a great woman, I never really bought her relationship with Rayann. That said, I absolutely adored Teresa in Watermark. She was intelligent, witty, and well-written. She is, by far, one of my favorite Kallmaker characters. I was definitely hoping she and Rayann would be successful in their romance. Kallmaker handled Rayann's "hurt and pain" throughout the book realistically. While the romantic in me wanted more from Teresa and Rayann by the book's end, I still recommend the book. Kallmaker succeeds once again in presenting us with two beautiful leads and a bookful of wonderful and memorable characters.
Rating: 5
Summary: Quality
Comment: I always hear lots of complaints about the lack of quality of lesbian romances, but it seems that given a book of high quality writing, like this one, people still want a big happy ending without any mess from real life. Well I was pleased even though the ending was ambiguous for Teresa and Rayann. Mostly because the writing was so beautiful and this book is as close to life as a 'romance' can get. I really did not want things to turn out the way they did for Louisa but life is like that. It was unexpected from Kallmaker, who I think defaults to making readers laugh and sigh. She made me cry instead. Which is good for me once in a while.

Summary: Heartbreaking!
Comment: This book was so sad and I cried and cried. I thought about it for days afterward. Images from it haunted me and scared me. I help my girlfriend a little bit tighter and wondered what it would feel like on some ordinary day to get a phone call like the one that Rayann did.
But like Rayann, after time went by, I began to get past all the grief, and I realized that Terese is witty and smart, honest and rash, flawed and lovable. Very, very different from the first great love of Rayann's life. Like Rayann, it just took me some time to see it. Once I did, I fell for Terese in a big, big way.
This is an unusual romance novel, but ultimately it gave me what I always look for in a love story: belief that love is real and we all deserve to have it in our lives. That feeling is why I read romance novels.
