She's outspoken, ballsy, confident and not afraid to go toe to toe with Tori. Of the two new characters introduced I liked Marissa the most. It was a constant game of stop and go only to completely unravel within 5 minutes with information that was never once hinted at throughout the book. Though this made sense plot wise, it also killed the mystery aspect of the book for me. It seemed every step the main characters took was blocked by red tape. This story line was quite frustrating to read. It's because the mystery build up and gradual unravel from book one was missing. This book however went with option 3, religion and politics! Despite those not being my favorite subjects to read about it's not why I didn't like this book as much. There are two topics in books that I generally don't like reading about 1 religion 2 politics In the early morning-at that cusp of a new day-everything is possible.' Because even things that we know are unattainable flutter within our grasp. Dawn is her favorite time of day, the moment right before sunrise. She collects things nature offers, like an unusual pinecone, colorful rocks, or an abandoned bird feather. Her favorite pastimes include camping, hiking, birdwatching (though she insists she doesn’t wear funny hats yet!), photography, and cooking. They share their lives with an ever-changing cast of furry friends. When she isn’t writing, Gerri and her longtime partner, Diane, can be found at their home in East Texas, where their vegetable garden, orchard, and five acres of woods keep them busy. Gerri’s love of nature and of being outdoors usually makes its way into her stories as her characters often find themselves in beautiful natural settings. Many more romances have followed, with the occasional murder mystery in the mix.

Her first published work came in 2000 with One Summer Night. Gerri began writing lesbian romance as a way to amuse herself while snowed in one winter in the mountains of Colorado, and hasn’t looked back.
