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.
Rating:  - Top Notch
As usual, Gerri Hill skillfully gives us an in-depth understanding of her characters. Both Kate Winters, an author suffering from writer's block, and Lee Foxx, the local sheriff, are partially damaged human beings, and therefore all the more lovable. The reader gets to observe Kate and Lee grapple with their own hangups and their feelings for each other against a backdrop of the gorgeous high desert of New Mexico.
The author's descriptions of the area are superb. I felt like I was right there with them. The secondary characters, a unique bunch to say the least, are vividly portrayed. The only thing missing is the action/adventure of the type shown in "Hunter's Way" and "The Killing Room." I would love to see a lot more of that. I stayed up way past my bedtime and read this book in one sitting. Gerri Hill's writing always has that effect on me.
Rating:  - Not Her Best
I've read many of Gerri Hill's books and this one was for me was not as good as the others (One Summer Night and Deep Cover). Her writing is great but I don't like to read the entire book before getting to a sex scene. Less scenery and more sex would be better for me.
Rating: - Romance At It's Finest!
Gerri Hill has done it again! Coyote Sky is a truly romantic and very passionate story. It will draw you in and you will find yourself in Coyote, New Mexico. Not to mention the fact that you will fall in love with all of the characters. I loved this book and read it in one sitting. I couldn't put it down! Kate Winters is a writer with writer's block. She is a romantic at heart but, will she listen to her heart and risk it being broken? Sheriff Lee Foxx is a player who can have and does have any woman, straight or gay, that she wants. Has she met her match in Kate or is her past too much fun to give up? Then there is Brenda...Kate's best friend. Brenda and her group of eccentric friends/artists can see what the other two are trying to fight. Not to mention Robin, Kate's girlfriend that she in Dallas. Got to love the surprises that come along with her. Can love conquer all? This book is like all of Gerri's...in a very good way of course! It has a great story, wonderful characters, full of humor, true friendship, love, lust, and we can't forget great sex! This book will stay in my collection to read again! As always I look forward to her next book!
Rating: - Beautiful Romance in a Beautiful Location
So many modern lesbian romances follow the basic formula of two women meet, one or both are anti-relationship because of a bad experience, fate intervenes and they fall deeply in love, living happily ever after. Such is the case with `Coyote Sky,' but the incredible Gerri Hill pulls this one off with such grace and class it's impossible NOT to fall in love and enjoy the ride.
Popular mystery author, Kate Winters, has writer's block. She's invited to spend the summer with her friend Brenda in beautiful Coyote, New Mexico. Brenda's friends in this town are eccentric artists and the local sheriff, Lee Foxx. Kate is currently living with, but not in love with, Robin - and feels loyal to her even though their relationship is going south. Lee sleeps with the young, blonde, early twenty-something tourists who visit the town each summer and has no intention of settling down. To make matters worse, neither woman can deny her attraction to the other and they struggle to contain their passion.
So it's pure formula. Who cares? The characters are incredibly lovable and passionate. The setting is unbelievably beautiful and idealistic. The writing is top notch and exemplifies Hill's talent. She is truly one of the best lesbian fiction authors publishing today. Very highly recommended, `Coyote Sky' is a definite must read.
