Give us more Gerri Hill. The chemistry and portrayal of the character was great. I loved the evolution.

Top knotch Police portrayal / Love Story

This book is my absolute fav. when the Audible version came out, I had to have it. Tori is such a strong character that allows the listener to join her in her thoughts and work. Sam compliments her in so many ways. I feel a bond with these characters that I feel hurt theres an ending.

Mixed up

Got to wondering about half way through this book if it was a detective story or a gay rights manifesto/romance type book. Turns out, it was a bit of both; a book with a pretty good murder mystery in it along with a pretty strong story about how women in a traditionally mail job had to work twice as hard to be accepted as competent, especially if gay. And to top it off, there's a burgeoning romance sub-plot between two women, one gay and the other in a straight relationship who becomes interested in the gay women.

Tori Hunter is the veteran homicide cop who is also a lesbian, and doesn't hide it. She can't get along with a male partner though. Along comes Samantha, a beautiful girl (what else, can't have an ugly girl, can we...) from a different department who has just transferred into homicide and is partnered up with Hunter.

Samantha is straight, has a boyfriend, and really wants to fit into homicide, but she also runs into the various anti-woman characters. As their partnership forms, Sam realizes she's got feelings for Hunter, and the rest goes along rather predictably. Then, the murder gets interesting, and the relationship becomes background, then the relationship becomes primary, and the murder gets interesting, and so on and so forth.

It actually made for a pretty darn good book, beyond some of the predictability. Let me stress, only the relationship issues were predicable, and a bit tiring at times, honestly. I mean, seriously: dump the guy Sam, and go with your heart, already, would you? Don't worry about him. He's a typical shallow guy. He'll find another girl and be fine. Quit worrying about him and worry about you.

Message is finally received and the bad guy is pursued and finally caught, which is the more interesting part of the story. The guys in the unit are impressed, and as the sun sets, all is well.

Pretty good book. No sordid sex scenes, which I appreciated, given the tendencies of many "romance" novels these days, and a pretty good murder mystery.

Enjoying the story

I'm still listening to this but I have to say that the performance is really marred for me by the over-enunciation of the narrator. No, I don't think it's necessary to make sure that ever final "t" is totally enunciated before the primary "t" of the following word when narrating an audible book. I'm sure your diction and pronunciation is perfect elocution-wise but it's just damn annoying when you find yourself as the listener anticipating it.

For example, to enunciate "she leT Tori go" with an awkward and overly pronounced T at the end of leT and another at the beginning of Tori. Much more natural and easier on the ears to elide a little and soften the end T and elide into the next T. Sounds totally unnatural to my hearing at least.

Otherwise, I'm enjoying the story line and plot!

Very satisfying use of a credit

Abby Craden's terrific narration takes a good romance/police procedural and turns it into a very compelling and satisfying use of a credit.

Great storyline and intrigue

Very good characters, easy to follow ,good story telling both by the author and the narrator. Could've gone on for more hours. I am ready for the sequels . The actual sex scenes were appropriate and touching and hot, but it screamed of reality and I like that. Lots of hours to listen to and pass the time .I never got bored or confused at where things were going -not once!

I laughed hard at Tory's antics. I own a hard copy of this book but I'm really grateful for Abby Cradden's narration of this. just really brought it to life for me.

Smiles

I enjoyed the story line as well as the narrator. This is second novel I have thoroughly enjoyed. The narrator has this dialect that is professional and fun to listen to. Gerri the author knocks it out the park again.

Awesome

I read the book years ago when it first came out. I finally decided to get the audible. I'd forgotten that it's such a great book. I love the characters. I don't really read cop books but I love this one and the series. Gerri Hill is still one of my favorites.
As far as the audible goes she is one of my favorite readers too. Her voice isn't annoying at all and you can tell the characters apart just by her voice. I wish this genre had more great women performers.
