Rebecca Keane has it all figured out. With a successful career as an Army surgeon and a fresh promotion to lieutenant colonel, she loves her life leading a surgical team. Even if that life means she’s spent years hiding her sexuality and ignoring her desires under the Army’s "don’t ask, don’t tell" policy. Then Captain Sabine Fleischer’s arrival sets off an attraction that cracks Rebecca’s carefully cultivated armor and brings about fresh complications.

Devon Douglas can’t believe it when she comes face-to-face with Sadie again. They were inseparable in high school until Devon did something she ruined their friendship on a lovestruck whim. Sadie is as dazzling as Devon remembers—and she can still hold her own surfing the wild waves of Clearwater Bay. Devon’s first priority is her five-year-old son, but getting to know Sadie all over again is taking up more and more of her headspace. Sadie is inexplicably drawn to Devon. It could be nostalgia. Or remnants of their old friendship flaring. But what if it’s more than that?

Her new job as an on-air reporter in sunny San Diego is a big break for Skyler Ruiz. No more covering small-town softball games or vegetable growing competitions. She’ll be working at the same station as her TV mega-crush and longtime idol, anchorwoman Carolyn McNamara, and that doesn’t hurt either. Unfortunately, people don’t always live up to expectations. Skyler’s hopes of impressing Carolyn are dashed when she discovers Carolyn has little time for newbie reporters and is downright unwelcoming.

Everything they never wanted...is everything they’ll ever need. Faye Holmes’s life is the polar opposite from her racy, best-selling romances. It’s quiet, routine, and, at the moment, plagued with writer’s block. If only just a little of the passion burning up the pages of her books would warm her lonely bed. But to be honest, one-night stands aren’t her thing. When her best friend buys her a lap dance to celebrate her latest best seller, Faye is more than shocked. She’s intrigued by the stunningly beautiful dancer whose gentle eyes seem vaguely familiar.

She wouldn't change anything about how her life has turned out—having traveled to nearly every country, never staying anywhere long enough to feel stifled. Brooke Watson has known Taylor for her entire life, and lifelong knowledge means that Brooke knows she's trouble: irresponsible, takes nothing seriously, and irritatingly attractive.

Great story, wonderful characters & narration
I have a lot of love and tenderness for this book. There’s something about it that speaks of a new era and gives me hope. It’s been a really interesting experience, listening to it now, a little over a year after it first came out and Milena McKay burst onto the lesfic scene. So much has happened since then, a novella, a second novel that is now in the running for multiple awards, a third one coming soon (A Whisper of Solace, April 12th). McKay has grown tremendously as an author over this period and yet there’s already so much wonderfulness in this debut.
I love Jamie’s big heart and, of course, I love Vivian’s sharp tongue and tenderness and the vulnerability she doesn’t hide that well. Hearing her now, I feel like I understand her better than I did a year ago. Unsurprisingly, Abby Craden‘s narration is fantastic. Jamie’s voice reflects her wide-eyed youth and tenacity. Vivian’s is at once haughty and warm, perfectly embodying the complexity of the character. The secondary characters shine just as much and I’m particularly fond of Arabella, even more than when I read the book.
If Milena McKay’s precise writing and wonderful characters didn’t already have my whole heart, with this audiobook and Abby Craden’s narration, they would now.

An astoundingly good debut novel!
5+ stars
I read this debut by Milena McKay in February of 2021 and knew immediately she was an author to watch. I was blown away by the quality and depth of this, her first novel. And it was no fluke - she followed it up with The Headmistress that same year and has already cemented herself as one of the best lesfic authors in the genre.
As much as I loved reading this, listening to it was even better. And all because Abby Craden does longing and angst like nobody's business. While there are sometimes calls for more variety in who narrates lesbian audiobooks, I will just say if someone can do what Craden does, bring her on. However, she's a unique talent that digs deep to bring these stories to life and only a handful of narrators can accomplish it.
Her DeVor is just fabulous. Her voice, the ice queen persona, the tremendously gifted artist. The woman who has been so hurt in her past that she is afraid to open her heart to anyone again. And in investigative journalist Jamie Walker, she brings out her determination, her desire to tell the story that needs to be told and the longing she has for the enigmatic woman who is the subject of her exposé.
This book is so layered. While it is a romance, it's also a mystery. A Me Too story. A story of bravery. Of overcoming enormous challenges. Of being willing to do what must be done for the greater good.
If you haven't experienced this book yet, I can't recommend it highly enough. I believe the audio version raises the quality of the work - which was outstanding to begin with. I would be quite happy if Craden becomes the voice of McKay's work. Like Noyes/Craden and Winter/Dawe, they are made for each other.

This has to be one of my all time favorite books. So many 'feels', with a touch of humor and lots of character development. Deep emotional growth without the angst found in so many of the WLW books. I love LOVE the narrator, especially Vivians voice... so sexy!!! I hope Ms. McCay writes MANY MANY more books.

Nearly perfect, absolutely worth it.
A wlw romance story with an intriguing plot, and wonderful characters.
Jamie is a down-on-her-luck writer who ends up falling in too deeply for the subject of her career-saving article. Vivian is the type of ice queen one loves to read about: she's haughty and restrained but delicate too. There's also a great number of interesting side characters.
Just get the book. It's worth every penny.

Oh me oh my. I’ve read this story more than a few times and absolutely love it. However Abby Craden reading it to me made me fall head over heels in love with the book all over again. Her DeVor voice is so Beautiful she made me melt. This book is a stunning piece of work. It tackles a hard topic, with respect and dignity and makes it into the most amazing story. It lifts you up, knocks you down and makes you melt. It has everything a great romance needs as well as a gritty storyline that draws you in and leaves you breathless. This is Milena McKay’s 1st novel yet you would never know it. This author is astounding and is one to look out for. 5 stars are more than deserved

I’ve recently dove head first onto les-fic and have listened to lots and lots of different authors.. Milena McKay is one of my tops!
Her stories are incredible, they captivate you in the most heart warming and realistic way (compared to some other authors out there) and the pairing of Abby Craden as the narrator.. blows my mind.
Outstanding writing and spurred me to write my first proper review on here too so thank you 🙏🏻
Both available books of Mckay’s on Audible will not disappoint, also anything read by Craden.. get it now 👍🏻

Delicately woven indeed
I'm so glad Milena McKay's books are being turned into audiobooks as well. She has a gift for crafting such intricate stories with detailing that draws you into each scene. Couple that with the talents of Abby Craden, I feel like I'm listening to a movie! With my mind visualising the scenes.
I enjoyed the concept of the fashion industry taking its lead/inspiration from art. Not sure if it actually works like that in reality. This is an age gap romance, with the angst being driven from realistic experiences as opposed to miscommunication between the MCs that we often come across in other books. And both MCs show depth of character, display strength and stand up for each other in their own way.
Abby's sultry voice for Vivian is beautiful. I was hooked. Especially the way she says Jameson. AC is one of my favourite narrators and I have a number of books narrated by her. I'm pleased to hear a slightly different voice here in that of Vivian.
Can't wait for the audible version of Whisper of Solace. Please record and release that soon! Hopefully with either Abby Craden, Angela Dawe or Lori Prince as narrator.

Delicately Beautiful
Abby Craden does it again, superbly delivered & seductively narrated. But, this couldn't be done without the words that Milena Mckay has written. I have read and listened this book twice. This was because, Milena writes so magnificently, the words just ooze brilliance. I'm afraid my review cannot do this book justice, it is that perfectly wrote.

5 Stars!
The Delicate Things we make is one of those books that, as i'm reading I can't help but wander how a writer has gotten to be so good at their craft as to be able to imagine a story with so much detail.
Milena McKay is one of those writers, and this is her debut novel????
The story follows Jamie, the down on her luck journalist, and the reclusive artist Vivian as they meet and form a bond under not so honest circumstances.
This story is beautiful and breathtaking and tragic and sweet. It is everything I love in a good book and after reading this one and The Headmistress, McKay has cemented her place as one of those all time great fiction writers.
