Summary: Regan and Maisie had sex once, back when Maisie was living the "boy's" life, but Regan wrote it off as nothing more than a drunken rebound hook-up.

Now that Maisie is in transition and all her feminine qualities are rising to the surface, Regan is realizing what she saw in Maisie that one inebriated evening so many years ago. But Maisie has fears of her own about starting up a relationship amidst the turmoil of other changes. Does Regan see her for who she really is, or will she love her and leave her like last time? See what power is evoked by mid-December mall magic, a red satin evening gown and two lovers who meet again for the first time.

Melissa’s Review: Red Satin by Giselle Renarde is a novella about two good friends, Regan, a lesbian, and Maisie, a transgender male living as a female. Because it is such a short story at only 18 pages, there is not a lot of depth to the characters or the plot, but Ms. Renarde did an excellent job of putting tons of emotion into a few pages.

The entire gist of what I got out of this book is that it doesn’t matter “what” you are, it matters “who” you are. Regan may be lesbian, but she has loads of deep feelings for Maisie who is, essentially, a man in body, if not in mind. While Regan is quite comfortable in her own skin and with whom she is, Maisie is not. Outwardly, Maisie is fun-loving and outgoing, but deep down where it counts, she worries about what people think of her now that she is living as a female.

If you are looking for a quick, basically light read, that touches on the tender subject of sexual identity and preference, Red Satin should be right up your alley.
