Product Description:
Chris McKenna gladly escaped the crowds of Yosemite to work as the new Search and Rescue in tiny Sierra City, nestled just west of Lake Tahoe. A loner by nature, she didn’t mind the seclusion of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Jessie Stone, a successful but reclusive writer, is haunted by memories of her childhood and finally returns to Sierra City after sixteen years of estrangement from her mother. The odd assortment of residents of this small mountain town brings them together but it is Annie Stone, a woman Chris has grown to admire and a woman Jessie still feels hatred for, that binds the two. Through lies and deception, they still cannot deny the growing attraction that will brighten both their lives . . . if only they will allow it. As Chris fights for her life in a winter blizzard, Jessie comes to terms with her past and her mother, finally accepting the love that Chris willingly offers her.

- Good book
I thought Sierra City was a very good book. Gerri Hill did a wonderful job with the characters. I felt myself wanting to see them succeed. I would recommend this book, it was a good read.

- Pretty scenery riddled with cliches and convention; possibly 2.5 stars
Nothing blew me away about this book, but nothing severely annoyed me either. Pretty average to below average, really. Some cool scenery (typical of Gerri Hill), interesting occupations (Chris is a park ranger/search and rescue and Jessie is a mystery author who always kills of the mother in her books), a little bit of SAR (search and rescue) action in the mountains (like a dramatic blizzard rescue). The supporting cast was generally amusing or interesting. There was a hunting-impaired cat to be endearing. Also the relationship develops with enough stops, starts and obstacles that there's a hint of realism.

Overall the book tripped over cliches a bit too much for my taste and felt practiced and formulaic, and the solutions were pretty pat, even to complex emotional issues and traumas. You wanted good things for the characters, but there was a lot about the conversations and set-up in many instances ... Read More

- Why Did I Wait So Long To Read It???
Although Gerri Hill is one of my most favorite authors, Sierra City sat on my shelf for a long time before I decided to tackle it. What was I thinking? What excuse did I have for ignoring it for so long? I don't know, but I'll never do it again. This was a fantastic book with a great story, lovable characters, and a memorable setting. I'm sorry I waited so long to enjoy it.

Chris McKenna is a search and rescue forest ranger who has recently relocated to relatively-untouched Sierra City from the busy Yosemite National Forest. Her goal was to get back to a simpler life and to leave the hustle and bustle of thousands of tourists behind. Chris is a big fan of author Jessica Stone and has fallen in love with her cover photo, but she doesn't have much of a love life otherwise. As Chris starts getting to know her new community, she meets the reclusive Annie Stone and they become fast friends. Chris ... Read More
