Chris McKenna gladly escaped the crowds of Yosemite to work as the new Search and Rescue in tiny Sierra City, nestled just west of Lake Tahoe. A loner by nature, she didn't mind the seclusion of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Jessie Stone, a successful but reclusive writer, is haunted by memories of her childhood and finally returns to Sierra City after sixteen years to confront her past. Can the odd assortment of residents of this...
The novel is more than a romance - A truly unique story with unforgettable people. Half way through I found myself cheering for them as if they were friends of mine. The writing is excellent and full of detailed information on the people and places. The love scenes are delectably passionate and always move the plot forward. What was so interesting for me is the mother and adult daughter had tremendous issues in their past and the character of Chris was a rock when it came to her relationship with both women. Everyone would like to have a friend or relative like Chris. Chris isn't superhuman and has her own share of problems but she hangs tough and the novel comes to a beautiful conclusion. Do not miss reading this novel - when I finished reading it the first time all I could say was 'WOW'.

Lovely Romantic and Hot!

I just started reading Gerri Hill, and enjoyed Gulf Breeze so much I immediately ordered this one as well. Since I know the Sierra Nevadas passingly well, I like the setting of this book, for one. What I liked most was the way Hill handled the intricate relationship between Chris, Annie and Jessie. It was a great example of small towns and since many lesbian romance novels are set in metropolitan areas, I enjoyed that aspect of the book a lot. I totally recommend this book and Gulf Breeze. Hill is a pro and her writing is engaging, smooth and richly detailed.
Best Yet!

This is the best book by Gerri Hill to date, and I'm sure they'll only get better. The relationship that forms between Jessie and Chris is very realistic. This book includes a little of everything. There's romance, suspense, and the reality of life. Gerri has mastered the art of conversation. I felt like I was eavesdropping on the characters in this book. If you want a good read that you can't put down, this is the book for you.
