Editorial Review:
Denver detective Jake McCoy was rehabbing at her cabin in the mountains, trying to reconcile the shooting death of a young boy. Psychologist Nicole Westbrook, an expert in domestic violence, is in those very same mountains, escaping from the horrors of her profession for a brief vacation. Nicole becomes lost when she leaves the well-marked hiking trail in search of hot springs, and she stumbles upon Jake, who is enjoying her own soak in remote springs. They exchange first names only, but after a few hours together, a physical attraction neither can explain, engulfs them, leaving them as lovers, not strangers, when Nicole departs the following day. But when Jake returns to Denver, a murder investigation leads her to Nicole. Both are surprised that they are face to face with the stranger they thought they'd never see again, Nicole tries to remain in the professional closet that she's been hiding in for so long, a place where out cop Jake McCoy does not fit. And Jake, still trying to recover from the shooting that left her injured, does her best to distance herself from Nicole. It is soon evident that a serial killer is targeting Nicole's former patients. Try as they may, they can not deny the physical attraction between them, even if it means compromising the investigation. But after all is said and done, the fact remains that Nicole and Jake live in two different worlds. Despite the physical attraction and the gentle tug of love, both women accept that when their case is over, they will go their separate ways. Jake retreats back to the mountains, and Nicole resumes her practice in earnest, both trying to forget the other . . . and both failing.

Rating:  - Gerri has done it again!
I have read this book at least 5 times over the last two years. I feel pulled into the story. Some writers write in a "jerky" manner but her books are written smoothly. I find them hard to put down. I wait, each time impatiently, for the next book.
Rating: - The Hook
This is the first Gerri Hill book I ever read, and it got me hooked. She is a great story teller. I have read everything else that she has written and I never get tired of her writing style despite its somewhat formulaic quality.
Rating:  - Exciting, intense, beautiful & frustrating
This is probably my favorite Gerri Hill novel to date. She really takes her time to establish character and setting, and later wrap up the plot. I read the Target before this novel, so astute review-readers will know that I already enjoyed the descriptions of the countryside and mountains around Colorado. In addition, I like the peace that the characters in this novel were able to gain by jouneying into the wilderness. It was nice that the vivid natural descriptions weren't just in the novel for ...

Rating: - The Killing Room
I read this book over the weekend and was pleasantly surprised. Most lesbian fiction books tend to be very formulaic, but this one was not. I found the characters very believable and realistic, as well as most of the story. The hot springs sex scene is a bit out there (as far as plausibility is concerned), but is still well written. It also was not overly sappy-- there's romance, but not the kind that makes you say "oh, please" with every sentence. Hill is actually a very good writer and I intend ... Read More
Rating: - Mystery With Touching Moments
This mystery novel has a great cast of characters who are very true to life. You'll be touched as you watch these women open their hearts to each other.
