Contemporary Romance (LGBT)

After meeting Marin on a bus in New York, a meeting that ended disastrously when Marin was hit by a car just as she got off the bus, Charlotte escaped New York and returned to her childhood home in Vermont. Working as real estate agent she is stunned when her new client is none other than Marin. 

After her accident, Marin’s life changed in big ways. She realised she was a lesbian and ended her loveless marriage. She quit her job and decided to make the change complete she would leave New York and take up a teaching position at a small university in Vermont. But with scars and chronic pain she is taking things slowly. 

As they look at houses, Marin fights her growing attraction to Charlotte who is straight. And for her part Charlotte is wondering if perhaps she is not as straight as she thought she was.

Margin for Error is primarily contemporary romance although with a mystery subplot in which Charlotte is trying to find out what happened to her mother who disappeared when she was a child. The sex scenes are quite steamy and honestly I flicked through those sections a little but I’m not lesbian, not even a woman so I’m not the target audience. 

It’s quite a sweet book and I enjoyed it despite the fact that it wasn’t written for me.
