"This is my very first F/F read and I have to say when push comes to shove this is about love, forgiveness and second chances, capturing the heart of the reader Michelle Houston has done a wonderful job of enticing the reader to open your heart to Natasha and her sorrow, her regret and her undying love for Lydia that will never be quenched." ~ Book Junkie, 
Rated a Page Turner

"This was a nice, sweet short story. Natasha had lived her life for others. She did what was expected of her by getting a degree in Science and marrying Andrew. Although she tried to play the good wife, her marriage was doomed to fail eventually since she would always love her college sweetheart, Lydia. So many people do this on a daily basis. Marry who they are expected to be with and not necessarily what their heart tells them, because this is so common it made the story seem plausible. With a nice sweet story about true love this author did not go wrong and I give it four cherries." ~ Whipped Cream Reviews

 

As part of the former 413 Remembrance Lane anthology:

"The year is 2000. Natasha divorced her husband Andrew after almost thirty years together. She didn't feel right carrying on the lie of loving him when she is attracted to women. She is visited one night by a red-haired succubus. After pleasuring her to an extraordinary release, the succubus takes the locket Natasha found in the house. The succubus tells her that if she continues to live unhappily she will end up a succubus herself. What will Natasha write in the diary? Will Natasha be able to save her happiness?

Michelle Houston has written an awesome story of the difficulty of making decisions with your heart and mind. She shows the reader the life long heartache of making choices to appease others. In The Life Not Lived a single epiphany can change your life for the better." ~ Two Lips Reviews


""The Life Not Lived” is just a little different from the other stories contained in this anthology. I liked the way the story was written to emphasize past and present. It puts the spotlight on Natasha’s decision. The story also makes me wonder what would happen if we could go back and change a decision made in the past." ~ Joyfully Reviewed

"THE LIFE NOT LIVED was phenomenal! I truly fell in love with Natasha. I understood her hesitation at ever telling anyone that she was a lesbian. Growing up in the times that she did, she would never have been accepted. However, like she discovered too late, marrying a man to hide your true self will never work. I wanted Natasha to find the diary, to make her wish and to find her lost love. I was really rooting for her throughout. She brought tears to my eyes on more than one occasion, and the provocative pleasure she discovers will make your teeth melt. Michelle Houston is a favorite author of mine and I am so happy to have been able to delve into another one of her masterpieces yet again!" ~ Romance Junkies, Rated 5 Ribbons!
