WINNER! Rainbow Awards 2017 Best Historical Romance!!
Praise for Aqua Follies...
I was born in the 70’s. I won’t begin to pretend I know what it was like in the 50’s or being gay then either. That said, I felt Liv Rancourt gave this story, and Russell and Skip, great justice. It was authentic of its time and a story that should be told. Aqua Follies review by Diverse Reader
The 1950s.
Postwar exuberance. Conformity. Rock and roll.
Homophobia.
Russell tells himself he’ll marry Susie because it’s the right thing to do. His summer job coaching her water ballet team will give him plenty of opportunity to give her a ring. But on the team’s trip to the annual Aqua Follies, the joyful glide of a trumpet player’s solo hits Russell like a torpedo, blowing apart his carefully constructed plans.
From the orchestra pit, Skip watches Poseidon’s younger brother stalk along the pool deck. It never hurts to smile at a man, because good things might happen. Once the last note has been played, Skip gives it a shot.
The tenuous connection forged by a simple smile leads to events that dismantle both their lives. Has the damage been done, or can they pick up the pieces together?
Aqua Follies is a vacation romance set in 1955 Seattle featuring a hot trumpet player, an awkward water ballet coach, at least one duck butt, and a very happy ending.
