Title: Watching You Author: Sheri Livingston Publisher: Loose Id  Genre: Contemporary F/F Publication date: June 2007 ISBN: 978-1-59632-481-7 Pages: 131 Reviewer: SReign Heat Level:  Explicit sex, toys, bondage     Rating:

Are you a control freak? Want to be dominated? Step into the commanding world of 911 operator Paige Waddell and police officer Kellie Hamrick where things aren’t always as they appear.   Paige is secretly obsessed with officer Kellie Hamrick but when Kellie refuses to defend the honor of women and allows her chauvinistic partner Randy to demean women, Paige is racked with rage. Being a 911 operator is stressful enough as she deals with life and death issues on a minute-by-minute basis, but when she has to deal with misogynistic attitudes, not only by narrow minded men but also the one woman she dreams of nightly, Paige needs something to relieve her anger and stress. She finds an opening online in a certain playgroup.   Kellie loves being an officer but hates her piggish partner whom she’s made a devilish deal with in order to maintain her career and the honor of her uncle. Having to cower down to the obnoxious Randy and lie about his shady dealings in order to maintain her own scandalous secret is getting to her. But nothing bothers her more than knowing she can’t defend herself or the sexy Paige whom she’s got a thing for. She, too, finds relief on a certain online playgroup. Neither knows about the feelings of the other.   But what’s done in the dark always finds a way to reveal itself and when these two lives collide and secrets are revealed, many lives will suddenly be changed forever.   Watching You hooked me in from the very first sentence and wouldn’t let me go. Sheri Livingston’s writing is energetic and sensuous. I enjoyed the dialogue, the realistic characters who jump off the pages and the fast paced action. The storyline and incredible plot are added incentives. There are adventures and places I haven’t come across until reading this book but Sheri Livingston makes these transitions easy and delightful because her style is realistic and passionate. Don’t be fooled by the bondage and explicit sexual content tagged on this novel; beneath all of that is a romantic love story anyone can enjoy!

Teaser
	Paige is a 911 operator, a woman whose daily life revolves around stress: that of the callers, transferred to her own mind. What she needs is to relax, not to be jerked around by male chauvinists like Randy, a porky cop whose female partner Kellie is the Sergeant’s niece. An additional problem is that Kellie has caught Paige’s eye, and although Paige is as yet unaware of it, her heart as well. Paige is distraught and angry that Kellie never seems to stand up against Randy’s slurs about Lesbians, women in general, and female cops; it’s worse when Kellie appears to support him. Then Paige’s friend and co-worker Gail lets slip, intentionally, that both Gail and Kellie hang out at an online BDSM site, and Gail urges Paige to participate as well. Gail realizes what neither Paige nor Kellie will admit even to themselves, and she is definitely not above a bit of playing Cupid, more than once. Paige gives the site a try, and soon finds out that the line between dominance and submission is more easily crossed than she thought, and now she’s just not certain on which side of the line to take her stance. Meanwhile, Kellie’s in a boatload of trouble, in the midst of a secret powder keg that’s just about ready to explode. Her attraction to Paige, and Paige’s refusal to acknowledge her, just intensifies the stress she herself feels as she tries to walk a fine line between integrity, and protection of her loved ones. Little does she realize that Paige will be the one to light the fuse—all of them. When this reviewer considers the topic of f/f erotic romance, the first author that occurs to me is Sheri Livingston. Once again, she never disappoints, and Watching You is a non-stop adrenaline rush from first sentence to last. I don’t think my heart dropped out of my throat the entire time I read the story, and I read it fast, feeling as if I was being jerked along behind a runaway locomotive. That’s how powerfully Watching You affected me. Sheri Livingston’s books deserve a bedtime-tale Keeper Shelf all of their own. This author doesn’t have the capacity to write a dull story; and any reader who can sit through reading Watching You, without reading it in the midst of an ice shower, is stronger than I. “Publisher's Note: Watching You is a non-traditional romance. It contains bondage and explicit homoerotic sexual encounters between women that may offend some readers."
