Good one

I really liked this one. As always, Gerri Hill brings the scenery alive and constructs believable characters. I guess some of it can be called predictable, but overall this one makes a damn good reading on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

Not a good read
|
I bought this book based on the two reviews, and also becuase it sounded like an interesting book from the amazon blurb. However I was very disappointed. I found it to be an amateurish attempt at fiction with little in the way of characterization, plot development and it certainly did little to capture my imagination. I found the book frustrating with its unrealistic dialog and poorly thought out scenes where the main characters bash their way through heavy handed emotions.
I would not recommend this book and it has put me off buying any of this other authors books. It a shame really as this is the first work of Gerri Hill that I have bought and read. Perhaps I have been unlucky and chosen one of her poorer efforts. I have read better fiction online for free.

Gerri has done it again
|
I just love Gerri Hill's books - I have now bought and read every book she has written and have to say, she is helluva great lesbian romance writer. She somehow just hits the spot with her pacing and the characterisations. Gerri keeps you turning the pages right until the very last and never disappoints with her ability to make your emotions swoon (if you're a dead romantic like me!)
I seriously recommend ALL of her books.

Gerri Hill does it again!

When Kate Winters, author of the mystery series The Masters, develops writer's block, her old friend, wealthy widow Brenda Granbury, invites her to spend the summer in Coyote, New Mexico, to clear her mind. Leaving behind the Dallas heat--and her live-in girlfriend--Kate retreats to the high mountain desert, and finds herself surrounded by Brenda's eccentric friends and artists, including the somewhat cultish Harmony, Sunshine and Starlight. But it's the local sheriff, Lee Foxx, who holds her attention. Lee, however, has a penchant for only dating the young tourists that flock to the river canyon each summer. She has no intention of ever settling down.
Soon, the women develop a friendship, despite Kate's repulsion of Lee's dating habits, and Lee's distaste of Kate's so-called girlfriend, Robin. Over the summer months, their friendship threatens to evolve into more, and Kate tries to maintain her conviction that she is in a committed relationship and will not become one of Lee's "groupies".
Harmony, Sunshine and the Fates intervene, slowly pushing the two women together. When they finally give in to their attraction and desire, an unexpected visit by Robin sends everyone scrambling. Kate is torn between her perception of the safe relationship she has with Robin, and her overwhelming desire to be with Lee. Lee, on the other hand, is trying to cope with the realization that she has fallen in love for the first time. And fallen for someone who is technically unavailable. Will Lee fight to keep Kate in Coyote? Or will she let her escape back to Dallas with Robin?
