Snow Falls

Gerri Hill is one of my "go to" authors. It's a given that her books will be well written with a well thought out plot. I thought this book was very good up to the first kiss. Then the story kind of just fell apart.The book is worth the read, just don't expect the second half of the story to be as well thought out as the first half.

While Gerri Hill is one of the better writers of lesbian fiction, Snow Falls was not her best work. There were an exceedingly large number of holes in the story which made it frustrating and lacking in believability.After Ryan saves Jen from an avalanche and leads them back to her secluded cabin, Jen is in awe of the smart structure, has a prolonged conversation with Ryan about her inability to leave for at least two months, and warms herself by the stove. During their hikes in the knee high snow, Jen is typically out of breath while Ryan encourages her that the hikes will build stamina and is excellent exercise.When the snow melts and Jen can leave, the trek back down to the road where Jen was stranded after the avalanche will be two hours. The trek back up takes Ryan three hours.This scenario is insane. How in the world did they ever get back up to the cabin after the avalanche in knee deep snow when it takes three hours without snow? Yes, Ryan had snow shoes, but nevertheless, it would have taken hours in freezing weather to get to that cabin. But, upon their arrival, no one even appears to have broken a sweat, no heaving, and no potential frost bite. Like a walk in the park.The book has a lot of holes like that. But most interestingly, what is with these recent novels where one of the protagonists is straight and suddenly becomes gay? It just doesn't make sense.The characters are not well developed and the story becomes stagnant early on. Perhaps more action or interaction would have made the story more enjoyable.

The story is easy reading, it has nice characters and lovely dogs. One of the main characters is having too tight religious grandparents and the other just awful parents. What would their life have been without friends.And then there is the romance, finally.For me the book is compatible with the season: main characters are living in a cottage and stuck because of snow. Just like there is snow and freezing cold in my hometown now in January, when I happen to spend quite a many evenings in house and reading.The book, Snow Falls, is certainly not any world famous classic.But it's not at all a bad representative of the genre of the lesbian romantic paperbacks (that are not any more paperbacks but eBooks).So 4 stars because I liked it as a nice season reading.

An entertaining & enjoyable story with some intriguing & interesting likeable characters, several hot scenes & an easily read book.

I've always loved the concept of two strangers being trapped together. they know nothing about each other. to me it's the learning process. and yes there are mistakes made by each. in this case, we have an out lesbian who wants nothing to do with the world except for those that live in the tiny lake city. the 'straight' girl who has a negative sense of direction gets lost and is saved from an avalanche. once trapped, it's the little things. it's almost like they learn to live together and appreciate one another as they fall in love. but are they ready for that love? can one let go of the hurt and pain of her past? can one who has lived an extremely sheltered life come to terms with her growing attraction? I love Gerri Hill and will continue to read whatever of her works I can get my hands on.

I just got Snow Falls last night and finished reading it this morning. I just couldn't put it down. I love it when Gerri brings back characters from other books that I've loved. I'm glad to see that Morgan and Reese from No Strings are still together.One of my favorite things about Gerri's writing is her ability to build a romance despite the odds that may seem to exist for a couple. I love the conversations she builds between the characters leading them into friendships before romance.I also love her details of the scenery. I lived in the area of Colorado she talks about in this book and reading this brought back a lot of great memories of being there. She creates a scene that you can see vividly in your head.Another wonderful romance. As always, I'm looking forward to the next book that she will be releasing.

I tend to always enjoy a Gerri Hill novel. They typically are pretty formulaic and have some good romance. This one I'd say is just okay out of the many that I've read. I liked that she brought back Morgan and Reese from "No Strings." I actually would have loved to have seen a bit more of those two other than just having them show up to give Ryan advice. I wasn't a big fan of Ryan or Jennifer, and for me the two of them falling in love wasn't very believable. Unfortunately it seemed a bit rushed and out of nowhere...even though they were pretty much cooped up in a cabin together for weeks. I don't know...their "love" just didn't jive for me. It's an entertaining enough read if you're not looking for very much action or intrigue. I preferred "No Strings" over this one though.

I read this book in two days. I loved the story line, the mountains, the snow and the way these two woman connected on their many journeys. I love reading Gerri Hill's books.

I liked how the story wasn't too based all on sex, I liked the characters and the lives and stories of them both.

Again Gerri has not failed to deliver with this. The 2nd of Gerri's books I have read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of good humour and you could feel the strength of the attraction between the main characters. I have always loved Gerri's attention to detail and it makes her books very hard to put down once you pick them up. I have already ordered several more and I am looking forward to getting stuck in. Highly recommended for anyone who loves a laugh

As a fan of Ms Hill I am delighted to see her back to her best and writing about the things she clearly loves. Mountains, wildlife and the pure beauty of nature. Oh yes, there is a pretty good story on the go as well, stranded motorist, helpful loner, lots and lots of snow and adorable dogs. Not to mention love and some great returning characters as a sideline. This is the kind of book I love to curl up with on a cold winters night when it's the usual rubbish on tv. More please.

Loved it! A slow burn with a great plot that makes it a real page turner that draws you in to the characters and their stories...need to find the book about Reese and Morgan now!A definite re-read for me, which speaks volumes for the quality of the storytelling.

Love gerri hill.books and this one flows just like the others I've read. Romance is great when you're single lol
