The Beauty Queen Called Twice (Lesbian Light Reads Book 7) Kindle Edition

4.2 out of 5 stars 9 ratings

All Lauren Golden wants is to be the best journalist ever. The gorgeous redhead with pale white skin and hazel eyes wants the story and nothing else.

When an editor tells her to interview the CEO of a successful cosmetics company, she quickly realizes she has met the woman, Charlenae White, before. When Lauren was a reporter at her university newspaper, Charlenae was a student as well and competing in the state beauty pageant. Lauren wrote about Charlenae then and never forgot her long black hair, dark brown skin, and beautiful smile. After the story ran, Charlenae called Lauren to ask her out, but Lauren did not respond. Now Charlenae wants to give Lauren a second chance for love.

All Lauren has to do is believe her and, most importantly, believe in herself.

The Beauty Queen Called Twice is the seventh book in the Lesbian Light Reads series, but each book can stand alone. This lesbian contemporary love story includes graphic sex and is intended for adults only.

Excerpt:
When I arrived the next morning, Charlenae’s assistant met me at security and escorted me to Charlenae’s office. It was the kind of office even my editor-in-chief could only dream of. There was a huge brown desk larger than most beds with a few papers for her to sign and a couple of pens. Japanese artwork and numerous awards decorated the walls. The office was large enough for its own lounge area complete with a matte silver grey leather sofa and a pair of overstuffed chairs. The air smelled of perfume and flowers.

The assistant, a heavily made-up woman with hair so coiffed that it didn’t move, offered me coffee and croissants and apologized that Charlenae was running a few minutes late. She assured me that Charlenae would be here soon. I refused the refreshments and set up for the interview in the office’s lounge area. I had a brand new notebook and at least two pens. If need be, I had more pens in my purse. I was ready.

I started scribbling down my impressions of the office, but I didn’t have to wait long before Charlenae glided in with a coffee in one hand and a phone in another. She wasn’t wearing the chiffon trousers I remembered and loved so well, but her black, straight-legged pants and low heels suited her. Her hair was still long, although curlier and bouncier than I remembered it. The smile hadn’t changed. She looked like she had managed to mature without aging.

“Lauren!” she exclaimed.

She looked excited to see me. I was surprised that she remembered who I was.

“Charlenae,” I said as I stood up to shake her hand. The skin was as soft as I remembered it. “You haven’t changed a bit.”

“Oh, but things have changed so much,” she said enigmatically.

She took a seat on her sofa next to me, flipped her long hair and answered my questions about her business success. She had launched her company three years ago because she felt there was a market need for makeup that suited her aesthetic and her skin tone. She wanted strong but subtle colors for women with dark brown skin, and she wasn’t satisfied with what was already out there. She had spent about a year at a large corporation after finishing college before deciding that she didn’t want to work for someone else. She wanted to be in control of her work and her life. She sold her products online directly to customers, bypassing the department store cosmetic counters.

“People always want something different. Something that speaks to them and makes them feel good. I was selling that. People bought what I was selling,” she said as she reached forward and placed her hand on my knee. “And you know that gal who won last year’s best actress Oscar? She loves my stuff.”

She gave my knee a little squeeze. I tried to ignore it.

    I wish it didn't have to end like that - then again, maybe no ending would have been good enough for me. I enjoyed the book. It was "nice." I would have liked a little more conflict, disagreements, or something not so perfect, in their journey to Love. Arrgh, maybe I'm knit picking and speaking out loud, my conditioning in expecting relationships to have more turmoil. Kinda sad really. But nothing of the sort here in this story. It's happy-ever-after.

    Lauren is a reporter for an online newspaper who has been tasked with getting an interview from a college crush. Charlenae is owns a successful cosmetics company on the verge of hitting it big. Want more, yes, yes you do) then you will have to read it!

    As with all LLRs the storytelling in this book is flawless, powerful and descriptive. The sexy bits very sexy and the characters very delightful. This is a perfect quick read, enjoy!!

    This was my first book by the author. Nice short read ending could've been better but again it was a short read.
