West Wind is the third novel in the Return to Eaton: When Love Speaks contemporary romance series. 
Here's a review:

 
5 out of 5 stars Distracted, East of Eaton and West Wind: The Trilogy 
"Distracted, East of Eaton and West Wind are filled with independent, strong, wonderful women. This series shows women the way they should be. Able to cope and function on their own, but increased when they add the right man to their life. Doing their job and raising their family the way everyone should, when these men happen into their world. Love comes without them realizing it but with all the bells and whistles.
"I very highly recommend this series to everyone!! It's romantic, sweet, funny and will cause butterflies in your stomach. This is romance the way it should be written. Not about some woman who can't live life without a man, but a strong woman made stronger when you add the man she loves. It's a terrific series that I've read 3 times already. You will enjoy this and end with a smile."

The only problem is-I've spent my entire life believing I was straight, and this little show we have to put on has me questioning a lot of things.

The Way Love Changes You; Book One: Love's Firsts by redisle_love

It can feel like a nightmare that you can't wake up from. Love changes people in many ways, from mild to severe, whether it's beneficial or detrimental in anybody's life, no matter if you're lesbian, gay, straight, bisexual, pansexual, or a person who just loves people without a label. How does love change you? ******* It's like your basic high school love story, except it's with adults in their early-mid 20s, and they're either still in college or have graduated from college and have jobs. It's a modern slice of life narrative novel about lesbians trying to find true love or wanting to get back into the love game. Five of these lovely characters share their own little tales of how love changes them first go, or their first time in forever! Their perspectives on love as it takes effect either get sensual, dramatic, or to the extent of a slow burn, as they also deal with life's obstacles along the way and share a part in each other's stories. There are ups and downs as their own stories go along, and it all gets more suspenseful towards the end where problems unfortunately arise. Will things get better or worse from here for these lovestruck lesbians as the story goes on?

He was her father, mother, and best friend. He was her everything. Then he was gone. Julia was the closest thing left to her brother. Adreanna's intentions were to just get to know the woman her brother married, look after her on his behalf until she could look after herself again and eventually return home. But life wiped out those plans before they even cemented as the two women, in a time of hurt and grief, seeking closure, companionship and love, formed a bond they didn't even realise was growing until it was too late. Now they're stuck at a crossroads, having to decide between love and ethics. The sequel to Drea is out now. It is called Mrs Jones. You can find it on my profile. <3
