"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

"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

""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

"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
