Rating:  - Passionate Novel and exceptional story telling
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'.
Rating: - Angst and Passion at its best
Gerri Hill's Sierra City literally takes my breath away with another passionate, heart-stopping romance. It is a story about closure as well as new beginnings in the lives of three women.
Chris McKenna is a search and rescue worker, newly relocated to Sierra City. There she meets and befriends the reclusive Annie Stone, mother of the successful author Jessie Stone. Jessie decides that after 17 years it is time to deal with her painful childhood memories so she travels back to Sierra City under an alias, Jennifer Parker. Jessie literally runs into Chris on the Sierra trails while Chris is working, and they become fast friends, but Chris does not tell Jessie that she knows who she really is and that she regularly spends time with her mother. Unable to come to terms with her past, Jessie, who is used to bedding any woman she meets, tries to seduce Chris to help her extinguish the pain. It backfires, and Jessie abruptly leaves the mountains, returning to New York City.
Hill always crafts memorable characters. In Jessie Stone, she has created a lost soul. She is a woman who does not like herself and therefore cannot develop any kind of relationship. We learn who Jessie is through her failed attempts to connect with those around her, through her confusing memories of her childhood, and through her tortured thoughts about who she "thinks" she is. Jessie takes a journey to discover her past in Sierra City, and meets Chris McKenna, a warm and compassionate person, an enigma to Jessie. Hill shows us Jessie's struggles with clear dialogue and crisp descriptions of her thoughts.
Hill expertly weaves multiple plots in the story each complementing the other. She gives us nonstop action on the mountains of search and rescue teams while holding fast to the main story of Jessie, Annie and Chris. And in the end, Hill surprises the reader with an unpredictable conclusion.
Sierra City is truly a story of redemption and salvation with plenty of angst, passion, and tearful moments. With Hill's creation of believable characters, this reader could not help but root for Jessie, Annie and Chris.
Rating: - Sierra City
This is a good quick read. This book will peek and keep your interest down to the last sentence. I would recommend this to any lady that loves a good lesbian love story.
Rating: - 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.
Rating: - 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.
