Second Season

Ali Vali has created another fantastic story! In my opinion Vali gets better with each book and with each book comes another passionate romance. Second Season is well written and the characters are well developed. As the reader, you can feel each characters emotions throughout the book. This book is full of love,loss,lust, budding friendships, wicked humor, and a little what goes around comes around. Throw in passion, romance, and a little sex...you have a great story by Ali Vali! I can't say enough about this amazing writer...she is well worth the read! I read this book in 2 days and loved every minute of it. It will stay in my collection to read again. Keep up the great work Ali!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The high quality writing, multi-dimensional characters and phenomenal premise are what I've come to expect from Ali Vali. The talented author has a gift which keeps this reader hungry for her next publication. Here, Vali introduces four women whose lives are intertwined. There is Kara Nicolas, a surgeon who is being sued for negligence in the death of a child. Kara, who isn't fond of children, is having an affair with Jessica Badeaux - mother of two. Jessica is married to Tully Badeaux, the prosecuting attorney in Kara's lawsuit. Tully buys coffee every morning from and tutors law student Libby Dexter. Libby has a crush on Tully and bonds quickly with Tully's two children. One can only imagine the drama that comes from this concoction of characters. Add the trauma of Hurricane Katrina to the mix and you have one heck of a great story. It takes a lot of imagination to combine these ingredients into a successful story. The author does a nice job keeping everything and everyone `straight'; I didn't pick up on even one timeline or relationship error. On a personal level, the addition of Katrina made the story even more dramatic (I grew up near Biloxi and still have family there) and I applaud Vali's courage to write about such a tragic event. Keep them coming Ali. This reader can't wait for more.

. . . because that's all you'll need to read this book. I love this writers' books and have gladly awaited the release of this one. I was NOT dissappointed. Love lost, new love found, family first. Those are the true premise of this book. Sprinkled here and there with rich, believable characters. Add some current events like a huge hurricane that wreaks havoc and you have one great book. A must read, I look forward to reading more from this talented writer.

I really enjoy reading all of Ali Vali's books and Second Season does not disappoint. The characters are initially faced with loss, disappointment and fear. The story takes the characters through discovery, growth, love and security and in the end all is basically well and the girl gets the girl.

Great book and not just because it pays homage to a fantastic city in my home state! What great writing! I had never read a book by Ali Vali but I will definitely read another. Second Season is about romance, love, heartbreak, betrayal- all the factors that make for a great romance novel- with the added factor that the main players are lesbians. And what a wonderful way to honor a great city that saw such tragedy with Hurricane Katrina. Cudos to Ms. Vali! Laissez Le Bon Temp Roule,La Lousiane
