Review: a revelation for me, as I have not had the opportunity to read many stories involving a post-op transgender woman. From both POV’s the story unfolds, allowing us to touch the broken, scared, nervous, revealing and beautiful parts of their lives and their growing relationship. Venetia has lost almost everything of her past life, a huge sacrifice she’s willing to make to live her life whole, complete as a woman. Roy faces the heartbreak of losing his brother, asking for forgiveness, and getting over some of his own bias to pursue love. I admit to looking up a few facts for myself, but I think that is the point of this story…to come to a better understanding, to realize that our differences make us human, and to think beyond gender, to that human soul beneath it all. For such a short story, it packs a lot of thought and some steamy romantic scenes as well. Recommended read.
