Editorial Reviews

EdgeBoston
"RICHLY ENTERTAINING. . . . Celebrates gay New Orleans in fine style. . . . Fully loaded with plot, heart, and rainbow-colored characters. Everything you could want in a gay romance set in New Orleans is present and accounted for: the historic districts of the city, the wedding (complete with sudden twist), foreign nobility, hastily shed tuxedoes, harebrained schemes carried off with bold strokes, and the enigmatic, ultimately tigerish Southern Belle. . . . Oh yes, and the ghost of Tennessee Williams, whose presence haunts the novel like a scent of magnolias . . ."
