When Stars Have Teeth

Dani Trujillo

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

Buffy Yellowbird knows exactly what she wants. She went to college, got her degree, moved to the city, and found a big girl job. Working at the San Francisco Urban Indian center is a dream come true - except that it constantly fans the flames of anger stuck in her belly. Thanks to a non-Native board, Buffy spends every day fighting for the community to have what they need. With each day at work as terrible as a Monday, Buffy doesn’t have time for relationships. She barely has time for her siblings. Santiago Morales is an ultra-suave immigration lawyer that keeps showing up in Buffy’s life. Despite his playboy-looks, Santiago is a family man ready to settle down. Unable to resist one another, the two agree on an associates with benefits arrangement that quickly dissolves the walls between them. Before long, Buffy finds herself craving Santiago for more than a romp in the sheets. Their associates' arrangement was evolving into something more. Faced with accepting the darkest parts of herself or leaving Santiago behind forever, Buffy must decide if she is worthy of love.

    Dani Trujillo writes such good characters. I absolutely love Buffy and Santiago. The patience Santiago had with Buffy was so sweet. I also liked that we got a bit more of Calehan and Xiomara in this one.
    There were some plotting/pacing issues, which were also present in Lizards Hold the Sun, but the characters really do make up for any shortfalls. Honestly can’t wait for more of this series.
