    About this audiobook

    Susan Sterling wanted nothing more than to escape her life . . . and her marriage. The family's secluded cabin in Kings Canyon National Park seemed the only place for her to find peace. But it took Shawn Weber coming into her life for her to find the courage to make changes. The budding friendship between the two women strengthens into an intense emotional bond, a bond that soon eclipses friendship.

    Despite pressure from her family to reconcile with her husband, Susan can't deny the feelings that Shawn stirs in her. Susan finds she's willing to forsake her entire family for a chance at love with Shawn.

      Great story and narration. As always Gerri Hill delivers a great story and Abby Craden is always wonderful to listen to.

      One can never go wrong with a lesbian novel by Gerri Hill with audio narrated by Abby Craden.
    • 5/5
      Gerri Hill is an excellent writer and paired with Abby Craden as narrator…is like a chef kissing his fingers, delicious.
    • 4/5
      Nicely written and read. A bit predictable from a lesbian POV who has lived the experience of attraction to straight women. It's easy to tell the author has done her homework on how it starts. But a little short on the struggle that c ones.maybe a follow on book,?
    • 5/5
      One of Gerri Hill’s best — and that’s saying a lot. She captures the anguish so many gay people experience, even as adults, with ignorant, hurtful prejudice from their families. But the sweet victory of not one but two triumphant couples following their hearts to experience real happiness delights the reader. Outstanding narration by Abby Craden too.
    • 2/5
      I forgot I had read this book a while ago. Definitely not one of my favorites but ok. I didn't connect much with the characters and there were plenty of typos which also kept me from being as engaged as I would have liked to have been.

      I would probably give it 2.5 stars but rounding down because Goodreads says 2 stars is "it was ok" and it was.

      Susan is trying to sort out her life after she found her husband cheating on her in their bed. She escaped to their cabin in the Mountains.That's where she meets Shawn (and her dog Alex). They're both in the woods walking when Alex runs up to Susan (splattering Susan with muddy water which was hilarious).They start as friends. Susan is going through quite a lot and Shawn happens to be a volunteer at a women's shelter and so has seen it all. Because of this it started really one sided, but, soon Shawn finds herself needing someone to listen and a shoulder as well.I was a little worried at the beginning because it did seem so so one sided, but, I shouldn't have worried. It did not stay that way.I will say that the slightly "idiot plot" (by that I mean that to real people the 'twist' would be obvious, but, this is fiction) with Shawn just not talking to Susan was a little annoying.But, overall it was a fun book and a fast read.
