Publisher's summary

Denver detective Jake McCoy is trying to recover - both physically and emotionally - from the shooting death of a young boy that also left her injured. She soon finds herself rehabbing at her cabin in the mountains, soaking in the remote natural springs - which is exactly where psychologist Nicole Westbrook vacations and soon stumbles across her....

When Nicole leaves the next day, the two women know little more about the other than her first name - yet they are now lovers instead of strangers.

When Jake returns to Denver, a serial murder investigation soon leads her to Nicole. As the investigation develops, their physical attraction threatens to compromise the case. Nicole finds herself struggling to remain in the professional closet that she's been hiding in for so long - a place where an out cop like Jake McCoy simply does not belong.

Once the crimes are solved, will the women go their separate ways? Or will the physical attraction and the gentle tug of love prove that opposites do attract....

Better Than Expected!

It started out kind of slow and I debated continuing on however, once it picked up, I was all in. I couldn't put stop listening. I found every opportunity to listen because I was anxious to know what was going to happen next? Who was going to be next? One would've thought I was one of the detectives, I was reviewing facts trying to cone up with clues, too. If you love crime, drama and lesbian fiction, this book is definitely the one to go with.

Great Story!

Absolutely loved all the Colorado details! Felt as if they were my next door neighbors! The story had me guessing till the end!

Good story

The story was a good mystery it kept me engaged. Abby was terrific as usual giving each character an alluring attraction to add romance and an insatiable desire to top it off.

Excellent!

I read The Killing Room years ago when it first came out and I loved it. Now on audio and narrated by Abby Craden? This was as exciting as a newly published Gerri Hill book.

Great Story

Listen to this BEFORE The Target!!!

Great story and characters you want to be together. Plot twists and mystery, didn’t want to pause!

Just amazing

Both the plot and the romance were top notch. I usually have trouble finishing books once I start them but I couldn’t stop listening to this one. Abby Craden’s performance is stellar as always.

Loved it

I really like Gerri Hill’s writing style, characters and especially her thrillers. Abby Craden brings her characters to life and makes them 3 dimensional. This is my 3rd time listening and probably not my last.

Mixed feelings

This is the second time I've listened to this book and it reminded me of two frustrating things. 1. I forgot how much I didn't like Nicole's mantra of "She's not my type" 2. How infuriating and weak Nicole is. ok so three things 3. Nicole's "friends" are stuck up elitist bitches and how I would like to tell them to get over themselves.
These 3 things really make me want to give this less than the four stars I gave it BUT I really loved Jake and her relationship with her partner and his character in general. I also really enjoyed the actual crime story part if the book. I'm sure real cops are probably way more critical than I'm being...I just really got into trying to figure it out...the first time I listened. When Nicole wasn't pissing me off I really enjoyed her and Jake's chemistry? Not really sure how to describe. Basically, how Jake cares for her and sees Nicole's truer self and from Nicole's POV when she is being honest with herself. Listen and that might make sense lol. I also liked Jake's dog.
lastly, I really enjoyed the narration - two thumbs up.
So with all this said I would recommend the book. Maybe Ms. Hill's intention was to make some characters very unlikable and one of the main characters flawed and hurtful with some compassion, for her clients, thrown in. If that was her intention she nailed it! 😋

Losted, Miserable,and Dead Inside.

It took me a while, but I finally got to read this book(Damn Pandemic). You two make a great team. Gerri, you never disappoint. Off to my next Adventure.

Impressive

Great story! Loved the plot and twists. Nothing was a given in this story and I loved that. Nice balance of mystery and romance. Impressive.
