- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Some prt of the story was quite weird and unnecessary, like no one recognising her that much. But there are some unexpected development of facts that keeps you reading until you really find out what happened.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Very enjoyable, I love Gerri Hill read by Abby Craden, and this didnt disappoint
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5As usual, amazing Geri Hill and Tantor Audio's work! Thank you for making this quarantine much easier to handle.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/53.5- Second listening and I had to lower my rating. Romance, angst, overly dramatic at times, some things unrealistic and eyebrow raising at some holes in the story. But! The romance, intimacy and feel-good was good!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5como siempre con GERRI HILL ella es garantía de calidad, todos sus libros son buenísimos.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Ok, that was a good book. I loved it. Surprise not surprised at the ending. But so glad that love wins out.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/53.75 stars. I liked this book. The combination of Gerri Hill and Abby Craden is a must for me that I always look forward to.
This book is one ne those set in a secluded area, in this case Sierra City. I'm not really outdoorsy myself, unfortunately, but I had a look online at the setting and the trails and it really is quite beautiful.
Chris Mckenna is new as a ranger in that area, loving the peace and quiet of her job after being at crowded Yosemite. She becomes friends with the much older Annie, a kind woman who lives a secluded life.
Annie has a dark history. Her husband deprived her of her daughter Jessie and killed himself over 15 years ago. Jessie has always hated her and left after the death of her father. The only thing that Annie sees of her daughter is that she's a best selling crime author now and that in her novels the mother is always murdered first. Chris strongly suspects that Annie's daughter was abused by her father.
However, Chris has been a little bit in love with Jessie's picture on the book cover for quite some time. When she discovers that Jessie actually lives in the cabin next to hers, under a fake name, they both form a fragile friendship. Chris tells Jessie about Annie, but Jessie has no memories of her childhood at all. Chris is afraid to talk to Annie about her daughter. One day, Chris discovers Jessie crying on the edge of a cliff, the same where her father died. Jessie's memories slowly come back.
I had some difficulties with the characters at first. The strongest relationship is the friendship beween Chris and Annie. Chris doesn't do casual relationships. She is really likeable, although we really don't know a lot more about her than the fact that she gets along well with the boys and that she can't cook. It's a little odd that she's in love with Jessie from a picture alone. We get to know a lot about Jessie and her past and present, but the story is told more from Chris's POV. When Jessie falls for Chris, it's all very abrupt. I was oddly detached from both main characters, but I was very glad this changed. In the end, they are a really cute couple and their relationship is believable. It's nice that Annie still plays a big role.
All in all, I really enjoyed this book very much. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5There were times that I got uncomfortable but it was a good book. Loved the Abby.
