Rating:  - great
very good book. very good lesbian book. the best i've read from gerri hill so far.
Rating:  - Enchanting setting
I generally like books that help me experience an unfamiliar setting, and introduce me to characters like I may never meet or interact with in my life, but that I can believe exist. In this book the author deftly accomplishes both things. Her descriptions of the New Mexican countryside are enchanting, the colors, the smells, the grandeur, the mystery. She takes the time to contrast the slower and quieter pace of life in Coyote with the more fast-paced, noisy urban world many of us live in.
But in addition to the setting, which is almost a character in itself, the author is able to seamlessly weave many disparate lives together. Brenda and the other secondary characters provide a good chorus to the main players in this romance, nudging our heroes along, helping them look at things from other perspectives, trying to save them from themselves.
In addition to a good use of an interesting supporting cast, the main characters are believable and sympathetic as well, though I thought things were a bit too drawn out by the end, and I began to get a touch frustrated with Kate's inability to make a decision. Fortunately, there were many clues as to her motivations, to I never lost hope as a reader, and her novel (the one she went to New Mexico to write) provided a fun parallel that also helped you understand where she was coming from and where she was going.
This book provided solid entertainment. Not the best, it wasn't quite plotted tightly enough for that, but certainly a cut above average, and worth the read. Who ever thought I'd want to vacation in the high desert?
Rating: - Fun and fast paced romance
Perfect beach read with lot's of laughs.
The cast of characters are laugh out loud funny.
City girl Kate is completely lost at home and in her writing career. Meeting Sheriff Foxx (the town player) is the best thing that ever happened to her.
The Wild ride they take to love is all good! Interesting Foxx - Kate - Robin triangle.
The best parts for me were the humor and the locale. Excellent writing.

Rating: - Great Characters in a Great Setting
Gerri Hill does an excellent job of developing characters and relationships. As always the scenery is beautifully described. A great romance!
Rating: - Doesn't Get Any Better Than This
Let me say up front that I would be the first to admit that this is a formulaic romance. I don't care. All of Gerri's books have the same formula: two women meet, feel an attraction to one another, and struggle to overcome it. The book chronicles the struggle. In the end they surrender to love and passion. Fade to black. Fine with me. She is still one of my favorite authors.
A friend of mine insists that in this one both main characters are also stereotypical. Lee Foxx: a player who beds so many different women that she doesn't always remember their names. Kate Winters: a serious type who eschews wild women like Lee. Logically these two completely different stereotypes shouldn't be attracted to each other. In reality they are. Launch the conflict.
Granted, the plot is thin and recycled. For example, the role of Lee Foxx was played most recently by Trystan Lightfoot in "The Flip Side of Desire." The most recent occurrence of the selected nuance of the infidelity issue is found in "Just This Once." And so what? It's still a great read.
Gerri Hill is one terrific writer and I will continue to buy all of her forthcoming books.
