Amazing series! the beginning of a really good romantic,love story & also detective series which involved two strong female leads plus some good supporting cast. Both leads themselves had trust issues and lots of other stuff in their lives but manage to end up having feelings for one another. Then there is other characters in this town that has problems and efficient side stories for readers to fish through --enjoyable,intense,entertaining and action pact..recommended series (paperback!)

Aww, my friends Tory and Reese. Have read the book more than once and this time it was a re-listen. Before you judge me, I just visited Provincetown so this seemed like the only choice for my next audiobook! ‘Safe Harbor’, published in 2004, is the first installment of the Provincetown Series, which has a total of seven books (and hoping for more).Reese Conlon has just become Provincetown’s new sheriff after leaving active military duty. Raised by her career military father, her future was alway...

Just finished the audiobook version. I had already read it twice, so a review is overdue. It's one of my favorite from Radclyffe and I really enjoy this narrator voice, so I was like, "Why not ? Let's go for it. "I did and I'm quite mixed about it. :s The narration is mostly great. And the story is good. Reese seems too good to be true but the writer put enough cracks on her surface that it magnifies her and her complexities . Tory is a pretty good match and I really enjoy their exchanges. The

ExcellentThis is a great story to read. It has everything. Love, Honor, pride, friendship and great scenery. Radclyffe puts you right there. Her descriptions are awesome. Her characters are very realistic. The storyline isn't far from reality either. She deals with some difficult topics with compassion and sincerity. Great book, great read. I loved it. Off to look for more.

I think finished is a bit strong. I was listening last night and when I woke up in the middle of the night and then by morning I was apparently on the last chapter. ;-)Much as I like Radclyffe, I do struggle with how you could be 30+ and completely asexual and then almost overnight turn into "hotest lover ever." Did that strike anyone else as a bit strange? I think I'm good with either extreme, but it's hard to put them together in the same character. Maybe if Reese had been in her early 20s, I

Looking forward to the seriesA longtime fan of Radclyffe, I had never got around to reading her Provincetown series and having read the first one I'm sorry it took so long. Have already lined up the rest of the series. Just love the characters and look forward to more of their stories

Why have I not read these before now?? My new favorite couple!

The constant head-hopping was just awful to read and pretty useless imo. Additionally, being constantly told that every woman in town, including straight and married women, found one of the MCs irresistible (and the many mentions of the importance of being good-looking) was tiring and made for an unrealistic read that felt like a heavy-handed fantasy of a self-insert. On top of that, that same character arguably being acespec was extremely poorly handled, especially considering her LI is a lesbi...

Radclyffe knows like no other how to build a romance at a rhythm that is realistic. You will get to know the characters little by little, and you you go along in the developing love story.Okay, Radclyffe does not write the most original stories, when I look at originality, I would have to rate it 4 stars. But when I rate these kind of books, I take into account the feelings and emotions the writer is creating. And I believe Radclyffe is a master at that. Her books grow on me every time. I think

I wanted to like this book, really I did! I've read some awesome books by Radclyffe and the reviews for this one were good. But she is not a sure thing either. Sometimes I find myself being completely annoyed by one of her stories, and this is one of those times!I try not to rate books that I don't finish. But I still do.. because I think it says a lot about a novel when it can't keep a reader interested, or when it bothers the hell out of them from the beginning. Because I seem to be one of ver...

I LOVE Radclyffe's books! I find myself not wanting this series to end, I want to continue reading about these people. I don't usually like fiction but I will read ALL of Radclyffe's books....

This one hit the spot for me. I guess I like stories where the characters are a little older, have a bit more history behind them and know things can't be perfect, but need to just pick a course and hope for the best. In fairness, there's a lot of perfection in this (location, heroism, dedication, abs) and between kayaking and split-shifts and emergency calls no one ever seems to need to sleep. But it is escapism. And I escaped right into it. Added bonus, it's the first of a series. Deadly!

Safe Harbor is the first book in Radclyffe series Provincetown Tales. It also happens to be one of my favorite books. I’m madly in love with Reese Conlon and Tori King. They are such strong female leads and yet so tender and loving. Their chemistry is off the hooks. Reese feels something missing in her life. She’s been career military since high school. She leaves and joins the sheriffs department as second to see if she can find something to quill her discontent. She reconnects with her mother

A mysterious newcomer, a reclusive doctor, and a troubled gay teenager learn about love, friendship, and trust during one tumultuous summer in Provincetown.Reese Conlon, LtCol USMCR, is the new sheriff who has heads turning amidst speculation as to who will be the first woman to capture her attentions. DoctorVictoria King has been betrayed by love once and refuses to risk heartbreak again. Brianna Parker, the teenaged daughter of Reese's chief, fears her father'swrath when he learns that she lov...

This is the first book from Radclyffe that I've ever read. I found it on the Audible romance package and I decided to give it a go. I really enjoyed this book. The way it was written was fantastic. The characters were well developed, as were the secondary and tertiary characters. All the story lines flowed perfectly. The dynamic between Tori and Reese is captivating. Both characters are strong and competent. The build of their friendship and relationship was executed splendidly. (the narration w...

What a prolific writer! So far, I'm more of a fan of the Provincetown series than the Honor series. Radclyffe definitely likes her main characters to have goddess like characteristics, which is a little bit cliché and seems to be the defining rule of all the lesbian series I've read so far. But she is a good writer, especially since she is churning them out like nobody's business.

I really enjoyed the characters, in particular Dr. Victoria King. Independent, feisty and dedicated to her patients. I also enjoyed the interaction between Tory and Reese. The care and concern for each others' well-being is a wonderful way to build romance and a relationship.

Has a lot of local references

Ok if you haven't read this book I am telling you that by the end of it you are going to find yourself completely inlove with Reese. My god this book was AWESOME!

It's so funny how much lesbian romances have evolved since this book was published. Still, I know this is a community of people I want to get to know better.

4.5 stars

My favorite series by Radclyffe.

Episode 18:2. I’m trying to find LGBTQ literature with a happy ending for my best friend. She is extremely annoyed with not only lack of representation in the LGBTQ community, but also annoyed that almost every time there is an LGBTQ story is has a sad ending. I’ve recommended her Maurice (she doesn’t like classic literature because she doesn’t like to work to understand the text), and gave her Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe (she thought the writing style was to simplis...

My first Radclyffe book, and what a disappointment. Flat writing, characters needed something more to be multidimensional (they often felt like cardboard cutouts), unrealistic everything most of the time (and I don't mean the average amount of suspension that reality usually needs in a typical lesbian novel). Transitions within the book weren't smooth, and the sometimes rapid switching between character viewpoints was dizzying and frustrating. Overall the book had great potential, but missed the...

Reese Conlon is new to Provincetown, a haven for gays and lesbians. While many of the women in town are intrigued by her beauty and her tendency to stick to herself, she stymies many with her lack of personal details. Included is her boss, who doesn't really get Reese but appreciates the time she spends mentoring his daughter Brianna. Not really curious about Reese, Dr. Victoria "Tori" King. At least not until her clinic is broken into and Reese is the responding officer. The two begin a delicat...

I love reading stories set in P-town. This story is full of angst for the protagonists. The characters are believable with rich back stories. The interactions between Reese and Torie are fraught with misunderstandings and false starts. It took them a long time to get together. I felt that the portrayal of Torie and her struggle with her injured leg and her reluctance to let anyone care for her felt genuine. I struggle to classify Reese and her late arrival to love. Her story resonates with me as...

I love this book. Dealing with social prejudices is always a touchy subject, but Rad handles it wonderfully as she explores the relationship between the ex-marine, now sheriff, Reese, and Victoria, the small town doctor, with a tragic past. This book has special meaning for me, having spent many summers on the cape. Weekly trips to Provincetown were almost a given, and I have visited many of the places mentioned in the book. There is something comforting in reading a work written in a framework

So, yes, this book and the characters are incredibly unrealistic with the way they’re all apparently perfectly attractive and intelligent and funny etc etc. And yes there are parts of the plot that are just like ??? And ABSOLUTELY Radclyfe does write the sex scenes like a hetero man who’s painfully cringy. BUT, despite all that, I did quite enjoy the book. I’ve never really been into het romance novels because I found them quite boring, and this is my first time reading a queer (specifically les...

Well written angst a drama BUT when does “no” or “don’t” or “stop” not mean just that. That really bothered me. I guess it it’s supposed to be romantic BUT..,. And how did Reese no how to make love having never participated before? That just didn’t make sense. Lost stars on those points. I’m just really sensitive and opposed to portraying “no” not respected especially since this book is so much about respecting and accepting LGBT people.

While I prefer Radclyffe's more action packed series. This book is a refreshing change of pace. The romance is light hearted, with a good dash of family drama.The author takes you away to the beautiful Provincetown. A great cast of characters falling in and out of love will keep you going. A great read at the beach or someplace else where you want a happy escape.
