Meet Dena Vargas. Part woman, part tomboy, all lesbian. She knows what she wants--well, most of the time. Let"s face it. It"s hard for any woman to choose in a world with so many options. "Although Christina Batista"s novel Hersband falls squarely into the realm of lesbian erotica, there is much more here to recommend it. Dena Vargas searches for companionship, love and meaningful direction, giving the novel a time and flavor uniquely its own. She lives by an unshakable code of honor that resonates as loudly as her boundless energy and sense of humor. Her life is a fascinating mix of not-so-ordinary characters and events...that makes Hersband hard to put down" - Ellen Tanner Marsh, New York Times best selling author
