Publisher's summary

Dr. Carly Cambridge, wildlife biologist, returns to the Texas Gulf Coast to manage the latest Habitats for Nature project, restoring the woods and wetlands to their natural state. She is devoted to the environmental cause with a passion usually reserved for a lover - something she hasn't had since a disastrous love affair 10 years earlier. Having sworn off women and relationships, Carly is perfectly content to live her life alone while she focuses on her latest project.

Wildlife photographer Pat Ryan is duped into volunteering her talents to the Habitats For Nature cause, but she wants no part of the overzealous Dr. Cambridge.

While they spend most of their time sparring and bickering, an early season hurricane finds them fighting nature - instead of each other - to save the wetlands and the birds that brought them together.

Soon Carly finds her heart opening, little by little, and struggles to ignore the feelings that are growing between them. And Pat, always searching for that certain someone to take her breath away, can't believe for a moment that the woman she's been waiting for could possibly be Carly.

Abby Craden + Gerri Hill = buy every time!

This was a really fun story. Light and lighthearted. The back and forth between the two MCs had me laughing out loud. And, let me tell you, Abby Craden has ruined me for almost all other narrators! She does such a phenomenal job portraying the characters. I have a hard time now, listening to a book if she’s not narrating. Abby Craden, would you please narrate my life? And all my favorite lesbian romances? Please!

Too little story, too much groping

I was hopeful at beginning of story that would be more of a story, but it devolved into endless groping and vicarious sex for the listener. I was looking for nice full story but most 'erotica' which is like being fly on ceiling while other people having sex. No thanks.

By the time they get there, you already don't care

So a woman in her 30th with an old trauma, that she never went to therapy for, is waisting a reader's time on trying to decide if she should love again. She could have decided much sooner, but the story is stretched out, and not in an exciting way. The heroines constantly get interrupted and not in creative ways. Otherwise - a very easy read.

A Gulf Romance

I love stories based in the wonders of nature. Carly is restoring a natural habitat on the Gulf. Pat is a wild life photographer volunteered by her aunt to help photograph the project for fundraising brochures. It love at first sight. Great performance and story. Recommend.

Good story

I enjoyed listening to this and it was a good story but not her best. I really chose this book because these two women were characters in another book I had just listened to and I was curious about their story. This felt like it just touched the surface and left a lot of questions unanswered, at least for me. Still worth a listen, especially as it was included with audible.

Heartfelt and Funny

Great story with great characters. I will definitely be listening to this again. Funny and heartwarming with a bit of steaminess.

Outstanding!

I loved the tension between Pat and Carly, but the dialogue… So fantastically written. The sparring matches between the two were fun and natural. It’s a book I didn’t want to end. And don’t even get me started on Abby Craden’s narration. *Purr*

what a great enjoyable story

I have enjoyed the Author and loved her storylines and it makes the experience even better by Abby's narration. The best narrator out there and I feel she brought life to the wonderful characters that was so perfectly penned.

banter

it's not literature but I really enjoyed this slow burn romance, as two women expierience a real relationship for the first time, great story revolving around a bird sanctuary on the coast, the humour is banter between several characters, a mad aunt adds to it too.
and of course the narration is Abbey Crayden climax .
gerri Hill is prolific and constantly good, this is sweet and warm.

Too short and not enough substance

A fun and easy read but we needed more substance to the story. Too short, waiting for more.

Roll out those tropes Gerri

For anyone who enjoys Hills books this will be a disappointment because the characters might have changed along with their professional roles but it’s the same old story with little variation from most of Hills other books. Frankly I think this is a lazy effort and perhaps given it’s a few hours shorter perhaps it was pumped out to meet contractual deadlines. The characters weren’t fleshed out in anyway and the storyline is pushed so that the overall affect is predictable and boring. The only good thing about this book is the narration by Craden . She is fabulous as always.
