Love. Sex. College. Studs. Femmes. It\u2019s all one big circle in beloved author Skyy\u2019s newest installment of lesbian drama, CONSEQUENCES<\/strong><\/em>, which follows our favorite ladies and gents as they navigate their senior year together.<\/p>\n

Consequences <\/em>begins exactly where Choices <\/em>concluded, with Lena readying herself for marriage while still pining over Denise. Despite having what appears to be all she wants \u2013 a fianc\u00e9 who\u2019s pro-basketball player, money and a chic apartment \u2013 she can\u2019t help but imagine another life with Denise. The kiss they shared at the end of last year changed everything, and even the love of Brandon can\u2019t stop her fantasies of the stud who stole her heart.<\/p>\n

Denise, meanwhile, has tried to move on from feeling like Lena\u2019s second choice. The women she\u2019s been spending her time with aren\u2019t up to par \u2013 one is a certified nutcase \u2013 and they certainly aren\u2019t Lena. It\u2019s hard to see her former roommate, whom she fell in love with, marry another man. But Denise doesn\u2019t want to let go of their friendship, and only hopes Lena will realize how deep her loyalties lie before she walks down that aisle.<\/p>\n

Cooley, Cooley, Cooley. It took Misha to tame that wild heart of hers, but when she did, Cooley wound up alone after being caught in some mess that wasn\u2019t her fault. No worries, though, Cooley\u2019s had the summer to get hoochies out her system and conspires to win back Misha. However, she didn\u2019t plan on Misha being with someone else or settling for being \u201cjust friends\u201d when Cooley\u2019s heart says she\u2019s the one. This is a move the former player surely didn\u2019t see coming.<\/p>\n

And finally Carmen, the previously portly beauty, has maintained her relationship with Nic. While the couple plans their future as they approach graduation, Carmen\u2019s past threatens to destroy their present. She still has insecurities when she sees Nic around other women, no matter how much Nic professes her devotion. Carmen can\u2019t believe she\u2019s found someone who loves her so much \u2013 and begins to sabotage what she has. Can she see what she has in front of her before Nic gets fed up?<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a lot more in Consequences<\/em> than I can describe here, but I don\u2019t want to give it all away.<\/p>\n

Most will agree that Skyy is the new queen of black lesbian romance, and the writing of Consequences <\/em>proves it. She\u2019s our version of E. Lynn Harris of Invisible Life<\/em> fame, but with a style truly all her own. Despite its long wait following Choices<\/em>, Consequences<\/em> was well worth the pure uproar women created about the fate of Denise, Lena, Carmen and Cooley, and who would end up with whom. We sincerely care about these characters as our own, as the animated discussion at my book club proved.<\/p>\n

Skyy\u2019s Consequences<\/em> will\u00a0not only answer your questions, but will gladly provide you with cliffhangers to the next chapter in these women\u2019s lives. When the next book arrives, I\u2019m 100 percent sure Skyy won\u2019t disappoint.<\/p>\n
