Artist's Dream

De: Gerri Hill

Narrado por: Abby Craden

Cassie Parker has grown used to denying her sexuality. Her father, the fire-and-brimstone Reverend Parker, has made that a necessity. Raised in a web of secrets, sadness, and under the heavy hand of her father's righteous wrath and intolerance, Cassie turns to her art to fill the hole in her heart and erase the memory of a mother who abandoned her in childhood. Then Luke Winston enters her life. Strong, mysterious, and beautiful, Luke sparks Cassie's desire, and takes her heart to places she's never known. Soon Cassie can no longer deny her attraction to women - and especially to Luke.

When Cassie's father makes an unexpected visit, the intrusion on her new life explodes as dark family secrets are revealed. Will Cassie choose a life without family...or a life without love?

Artist's Dream ❤️

Another good one by Gerri Hill. An artist meets an architect, and the sparks start flying!

Cassie and Luke are literally the "love at first sight" couple, but of course, things don't happen right away. Cassie hasn't come to terms with her sexuality because of her upbringing by her father's strict and religious ways. It's wonderful to see her come into her own, finding the freedom to be herself and be able to love whomever she wants. And Luke is perfect for her - patient, loving, caring, and understanding. ❤️❤️❤️

I do wish it was longer. Not only was the couple amazing together, but there were some this I wish I could have seen play out. I won't say what because I don't want to give ay spoilers....but dont worry, it doesn'ttake away from the story.

Great book!

I really enjoyed this book. I hope we will get a follow-up book! Fingers crossed

It ended too soon

I am heartbroken. So many key themes left unexplained. There has to be a sequel.. please! Please ! Please!

Loved this!

So connected with this story. Loved how the characters developed! Live your dream and love your love!

stunning!

I want a sequel! this book had everything! it had gross religious parental figures, it had sassy gay best friends, it had a whirlwind romance. I need more please.

Heartbreaking

I love how Gerri Hill takes devastating stories and makes them into something beautiful and meaningful.

Flying on an Eagles Wing

Cassie Parker was living her dreams in an artist’s community in California. Then Luke Winston came into her life and turns her world upside down. Overcoming her fears instilled by her father Reverend Parker, Cassie must reach out for the love of her life. Great performance and story. Recommend author.

Loved it!

What’s not to love? Well written and paced, complicated and interesting characters, solid research, and excellent tension. Highly recommend.

WOW….That was Just Perfect!

I love stories about strong women who put the nay-sayers in their place! This is such a well written, well performed book!

Nice romance, but...

The father-daughter dynamic didn't work for me. An upbringing like that, would leave way deeper scars and relational difficulties - in my opinion/experience. The fact that Cassie can both stand up to her father and let him keep up his behavior without cutting off the connection to him, has me non-plussed. Can't wrap my head around why she wants to keep him in her life. Doesn't quite work for me. And the seemingly turn-around/softening at the end, doesn't feel believable. I do however like how Luke navigates in their relationship. Not a bad story all in all, and Abby Craden is superb as always.
