The  relationship between the two protagonists was realistic, they both made  sacrifices for the other in order to maintain their 20 year partnership.  I understood why they loved each other and the conflict within the  narrative was simple yet compelling\u2026 I would recommend this book to  anyone who likes realistic and\/or angsty romance.&#8221;&nbsp; <\/em>&#8211; Dani<\/p>\n<p> <em>\u201c<\/em><em>It can be hard in erotic romance to strike a good  balance between sexy and emotionally satisfying, but \u201cDaisuki.&#8221; does it  beautifully. Billings has an evocative narrative voice, her characters  are compelling, and the story &#8211; a Japanese lesbian couple approaching  their 20th anniversary, with some snags along the way &#8211; is very  engaging. It doesn\u2019t hurt that the sex scenes are top-notch, either.&#8221; &#8211; <\/em>Alexis<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Now available for only 99 cents on ALL retailers in ALL regions!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B009GALNKQ\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=senshicalico-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B009GALNKQ\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a> .:. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/daisuki-hildred-billings\/1113062644?ean=2940015498066\" target=\"_blank\">B&amp;N<\/a> .:. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kobobooks.com\/ebook\/Daisuki-\/book-mLqmu5VsAkeoteyF3WTqQA\/page1.html\" target=\"_blank\">Kobo <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NOW 99 CENTS FOREVERor something like it. &#8220;DAISUKI.&#8221; book 1 of the REN\u2019AI RENSAI lesbian erotic romance series.
