A great follow on read from Cheyenne’s earlier books. An easy read great for a quiet night at home.

I love this author and love her books. This is the last one on a trilogy and it holds up the standard. The characters the unfolds from a book to another are great companions on an Australian dream.

Felix Jameson has been working on turning her family's land into a hospitality business including cabins, campgrounds, and trail rides with her own horses. As she's doing errands and distributing some promotional materials around her small Australian town, she meets Josie, a drifter currently bar tending at the local watering hole. Felix tries to avoid getting involved but Josie also needs a place to board her horse; Flame. But Flame looks eerily like a recently stolen racehorse, leading Felix to wonder what this woman she has fallen for may be involved in.

This book is in a series called "Girl Meets Girl" but it functions perfectly fine as a standalone story.

I got a real good sense of the Australian outback and Felix and Josie as characters. I love how the mystery surrounding the horses moves their relationship and while that initial event brings them together; it follows along with them in a very real way. As the mystery deepens, so does Felix and Josie's connection. It's also comforting for everything to be wrapped up in a realistic way so we avoid an unrealistically neat ending.

If I were to nitpick, I would say that the ending needed an epilogue for some of the unanswered questions as to the fate of the horse after the investigation (I am trying to avoid spoilers). Also, it kinda bugged me in the beginning when Felix kept saying Josie wasn't beautiful. And I don't mean "she wasn't beautiful; she was - insert descriptive term like 'compelling'-". It it was just eh, not pretty. Ok then, what are you attracted to? Just her butt? I got over it but it raised my eyebrow... Overall? 4 out of 5. A very sweet and saucy lesbian romance.

Fenced-in-Felix, the third novel in Cheyenne Blue's "Girl Meets Girl" series, picks up with Australian Outback entrepreneur and long-time resident, Felix. In the previous novel, "Not-S0-Straight Sue", Felix appears as a friend and one-time lover of the novel's lead. Now driving her own narrative, we learn more about her history with the terrain and its people, her love of horses, and her burgeoning campsite and horse riding business. Busy from dawn to dusk, she doesn't have time for romance beyond flirtations. Itinerant bartender Josie appears on the scene, Felix's work-life balance wobbles (Felix would probably say it's all the same; no time for a personal life, but that's just fine). The two dance around romance, and competing desires that of retaining roots and of moving on again. It's a satisfying romance with a wonderful Australian setting.
