Snow Falls
Jennifer Kincaid, on her way to a writer’s workshop in the Colorado mountain town of Lake City, gets lost and is stranded by an avalanche. Catherine Ryan-Barrett, running from the fame and fortune of her family name, wants nothing more to spend the winter alone and sequestered in her high mountain cabin. She is not prepared for a party crasher. After spending two months together, they form an unlikely friendship that deepens even further. But after the spring thaw, Jen leaves and returns to her life in Santa Fe—and to the man who wants to marry her. All she knows of the woman who rescued her is her name . . . Ryan.

About the author
Gerri Hill
55books1,498followersGerri 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. Her first published work came in 2000 with One Summer Night. Many more romances have followed, with the occasional murder mystery in the mix.
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. 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. They share their lives with an ever-changing cast of furry friends.
Her favorite pastimes include camping, hiking, birdwatching (though she insists she doesn’t wear funny hats yet!), photography, and cooking. She collects things nature offers, like an unusual pinecone, colorful rocks, or an abandoned bird feather. Dawn is her favorite time of day, the moment right before sunrise...
"I love the morning... the beginning of a brand new day. Because even things that we know are unattainable flutter within our grasp. In the early morning—at that cusp of a new day—everything is possible."

I was so excited to read this snowed in F/F romance, but I had some real issues with it, including bisexual erasure and also, well, this part:
Charles, Ryan's brother, takes her aside at the party to say that his date is flirting with her:
To be clear, Charles is presented as a laidback, playboy type. They get along. They both laugh this off. This is... not normal. I get the whole "straight men are into watching lesbians" thing, but your sister??

Charles, Ryan's brother, takes her aside at the party to say that his date is flirting with her:
[Charles:] "You interested?"
[Ryan:] "In her?"
He raised his eyebrows. "I could watch."
"You're insane."
"We did it before. Remember that chick I brought home from college? What were you? Eighteen?"
"The difference is, I didn't know you were watching," she reminded him. She'd never been more embarrassed in her young life when she found out he's been hiding in the closet. . . . She was, however, careful to check her closet from then on.

So far Gerri Hill books have been a hit or miss for me. This unfortunately was a miss. It was a well written slow-burn and the plot was very interesting. But reading it, I didn't feel the sparks between Ryan and Jen. The best thing about the book was perhaps the cozy setup.

Snowed in.
I think this audiobook was re-recorded only recently with Abby Craden as the narrator. I'm not sure who narrated the earlier version but I'm picky when it comes to narrators and Craden is one of the safest bets so I'm glad I got to listen to the Craden version.
This toaster-oven story is nice and it reminds me just a little bit of E.J. Noyes' Alone. The main character, Ryan, lives a secluded life up in the mountains and considers herself a recluse although she isn't totally disconnected from the world. She has a very small group of friends and meets them once in a while when the weather is good and family, maybe once a year. Then there's Jen who comes into her life by accident when Ryan rescues her from an avalanche and they end up snowed in and living together for months. The two women spend a lot of time together since they're alone the entire time but it's a slow burn because they don't act on their attraction they have for each other until later in the story. I guess that makes sense, since Jen has an almost-fiancé back home and Ryan has a fear of having her heart broken. But we do get to learn a lot about Jen and a little bit about Ryan during that time.
In just under 5 hours, this book is considered short, but I thought the length is just about right because Ryan's persistent refusal to explore a relationship with Jen was starting to get old.

2 1/2 stars. While I'm a fan of Gerri Hill, this one didn't grab me like her others. A little too slow for my part. Once the story and characters started to heat up... run, run, run away was the theme. So much turmoil could have been solved with a few words. When characters act stupid it can drive me nuts.
Don't get me wrong the book wasn't bad. I wouldn't steer people away from reading it. However, don't have it be the first Gerri Hill book you read or you might not realize what a great writer she truly is.

3.5 stars! For the most part, I really enjoyed this "oh no we're stuck snowed in a cabin obviously we're gonna fall in love" lesbian romance. It was sweet and cute and simple. Later parts where both women went back to their lives I liked less--that should have been the last 10% of the book instead of the last half.
Also one of them has a horrifically creepy brother who spied on her having sex (like, while he was an adult) and now jokes about doing it again and she's fine with it?? WTF! And the use of the term "make love" instead of "have sex" (or "fuck" honestly would be better) makes me gag a little. It's one of a few minor indications that this is a romance about women in their late 20s / early 30s written by someone probably in her 50s.

While I liked this story in paperback, I enjoyed it even more as an audiobook. And that's largely due to Abby Craden's narration. She's so wonderful at conveying longing and vulnerability. As I was thinking about how to rate it, I realized that most everything about it was great EXCEPT for one incredibly thoughtless move by one of the MCs that made me want to strangle her. And do you mark a book down because of something a character does that you don't like when the writing is so good and the story is strong? Gerri Hill knows her way around romance, as my bulging bookshelves can attest to. And I love that in 90 percent of her books, nature plays a front and center role and it does here as well. We also get an "Easter egg" with the inclusion of Morgan and Reese from No Strings as secondary characters. This is a short book, the audio being just five hours long. I found it to be a perfect length between two longer listens. While it may not be my favorite by this author, it was absolutely worth the listen! Craden has become the voice of Gerri Hill's books and thank goodness for that! They really are an ideal match. 4.25 stars.

I’ve read this lesbian coming out book years ago and it wasn’t my favourite by this author. I’ve wanted to give it another shot with the audiobook version but I kept postponing it as I didn’t know the narrator Sara Hawthorne. I thought the narrator did a good enough job but I still have issues with the story itself.
Jennifer Kincaid was on her way to a writer’s workshop when she gets stranded by an avalanche in the mountains of Colorado. She is rescued by Catherine “Ryan� Ryan-Barrett who lives in an isolated cottage escaping from her family and her past. Stranded in the middle of nowhere, both women are forced to share the small place for two months. A tight bond is formed between them but by the end of Winter, Jen has to return home to her life with the man she’s supposed to marry�
In my mind, this story is divided into two parts. The first one is when the main characters are forced to live together sharing a small house for 6 weeks, and the second one, when Jen goes back home and the mains remain separated for a long period of time. For me, the former worked better than the latter. Somehow, the build-up of intense chemistry between Jen and Ryan during those weeks of isolation, in which they only had the constant presence of each other, got weakened later when they parted ways. It felt like a proverbial bucket of cold water in the bond they formed which, for me, never picked up with the same intensity again.
My other issue with this novel is that I wasn’t too invested in the main characters. I wasn’t sold on their potential of a happily ever after either. Maybe because of the amount of time they remain separated, each in their own headspace. Character-wise, Morgan and Reese from Hill’s ‘No Strings� saved the day. They are a lovely couple, though I missed their original voices, performed by Abby Craden.
Having said that, I love how nature is another character in Gerri Hill’s books. Nature and animals are always protagonists in her novels and this is no exception. In this case, as the title suggests, the landscape is the mountains in Colorado during Winter. Ms. Hill’s depictions of the solitary frozen landscape are one of the highlights of the story.
This seems to be the only book narrated by Sara Hawthorne or maybe this is a pseudonym and I couldn’t find her real name. I thought she did a good job though I wasn’t blown away by her performance. This audiobook wasn’t my favourite in Gerri Hill’s catalogue, but it’s a good story anyway. Overall, 3.5 stars.

I struggled with what rating I would give the book, but I eventually settled on one star because, according to the ŷ system, that means that I didn't like it. And I really didn't like it; by the end, I just wanted it to be over so I could move onto something else.
At first glance, the book looked like a good choice. It's fall and the temperatures are starting to get colder in Colorado, especially at night, so I was feeling like a wintry read. And what could be more perfect than a lesbian romance set in Lake City, which is only about a hundred miles away from me? I've never been to Lake City, but I've been to Gunnison and Blue Mesa (where the Lake City turnoff road is located), and the area is gorgeous. Plus those beautiful San Juan Mountains that Ryan keeps mentioning? I can see them to the southeast when I stand in my back yard.
So I was excited to read this book. And, at first, it seemed like it was going to be good. The setting was gorgeous, and although the premise was a little weak, I could deal with that. But as the story dragged on, the plot kept lagging, and then toward the end, weird things that were never addressed or mentioned in the rest of the book were thrown in, like the author knew that the story was lacking in depth and SOMETHING had to happen. Combined with the huge font, I felt like the author was trying to stretch a short novella into a book-length novel.
First off, I am not a big fan of "convert" romances - as in, one of the characters is a lesbian and "converts" the other to being a lesbian. Ugh. I get that Jen was raised in a super-strict and immensely repressed home, but I was also extremely sheltered growing up and I knew that I was into girls. (I thought that something was wrong with me, and I tried to dismiss it, but I still knew.) I'm not saying that everyone knows - there are a lot of stories of women marrying men when they are young and then realizing that they are actually lesbians later in life - but still, I just don't like these type of romances.
And a lack of emotion was found throughout the book. There was minimal, if any, character development. There's also absolutely NO heat between Jen and Ryan. I just didn't find their relationship all that believable, and it certainly wasn't compelling.
At the end, when Ryan briefly visits her family for her grandmother's birthday celebration, I found myself ready to throw the book across the room.
This is the second book I've read by Gerri Hill, and I'm reluctant to read anything by her again. I know that she is a "name" in the lesbian romance community, but I don't understand it. The first book I read by her, "Storms," also had unsympathetic characters and a creepy protagonist. And then "Snow Falls" has the same problem. Maybe these are the two worst books she's written, but something tells me that isn't true.
To be honest, this book feels a lot like one of those Harlequin Presents novels. And I hate those. If you're looking to read something that lacks heat, passion, relatable characters, and something resembling a plot, this book is totally for you! Otherwise, I would recommend skipping it.

This is one of Gerri Hill's simple, beautiful romances. There's no "blood pumping" in the plot like her "Hunter" series or "The Killing Room," but this is the type of story that's built her solid reputation on as a top romance writer. Once again, she writes a beautiful setting, yet describes it with just the right amount of words so that you don't feel like it intrudes into the story. She writes characters that stick in your head and make you want to spend more time with them. "Snow Falls" made me want to move to the mountains and sit in a snow-covered lodge to wait for the love of my life to get stranded there.

This was interesting until its not.... I was all in, rooting for them and then I just got real tired reading all the reasons why Ryan can’t do it and just ‘jump�... And what the hell was Ryan thinking? Running away again and just left. That was a big NO for me...

I really liked the setting of this book and the interactions of the characters. I am giving the story 4-stars, but the narration was so good I'm giving the Audiobook version 5-stars.

3.5 stars - This was an enjoyable, quick read that got me through my commute and lunch break. Both MCs are very likable, and the chemistry is there. There are some hot scenes (and kudos to the narrator who didn't make it too awkward to listen to!).

Enjoyable read. Nice characters.
The mountain sets romantic panoramas and seclusion helps to get close.
Some damsel in distress and saving heroine themes.
An outwardly grouchy lady who really is a shy sweetheart.
Tension is created by long, protracted lack of communication and fear to dare a little bit and to deserve to be happy.
A very classical romance. Nothing really new, but enjoyable just the same.

Loved it! A slow burn with a great plot that makes it a real page turner that draws you in to the characters and their stories...need to find the book about Reese and Morgan now!
A definite re-read for me, which speaks volumes for the quality of the storytelling.

It's decent.
Decent MCs, decent story and in a few years I'll happily reread it because I'll forget the particulars of this story. And I won't be disappointed. But she has definitely written better stuff

Another enjoyable read from Gerri Hill. Reclusive Ryan rescues Jen from her snowed-in SUV moments before it's hit by an avalanche. Jen is trapped for six to eight weeks with a complete stranger who is reluctant to give out any personal information.
Ryan is a fairly interesting character but Jen has a lot more depth to her. A slightly more unusual background with lots of quirks. I really enjoy books set in cold climates and even more so, books where the main characters are trapped in snow.
had a very similar premise and I enjoyed it just as much. Both of these are fairly straight forward romances. For a little more drama, , and were also good reads.

What's not to love about Snow Falls. A reclusive heiress and a guileless self help writer get stranded together in Ryan's cabin. Their relationship develops slowly enough for the reader to savour every moment.

I went back and forth between 3 and 4 stars. I'm a sucker for most Gerri Hill romances and I did enjoy the narration so I went with four.
**did a re-read today (7/20/16) and dropped it down to three stars because of the narration. I don't know why I liked it the last time but this time I had a hard time not being irritated by some of the inflections and pacing.**
2/20/22 reread. Mostly meh. Was good for while I was resting with my eyes closed and barely awake. The whole running out and lack of communication is irritating but I knew what was coming.

I liked this one a whole lot, but I'm a huge sucker for a good recluse story. I could have done without anything to do with Ryan's brother, but everything else worked for me. It's my first Gerri Hill book, and I'm looking forward to checking out more.

My friend and I often discuss how Gerri Hill's novels are the perfect way to relax, particularly her audiobooks. We both love the way she sets her stories, as each book seems to feature somewhere stunning. Snow Falls is no exception to this, and Abby Craden does an excellent job at narrating this scenic novel that's set amongst the Colorado mountains. It's a super short listen at 5 hours but I thought it was a great read. Both Ryan and Jen were interesting characters and I felt the chemistry between them. I also loved the way Hill managed to develop their mutual interest, and the difficulties they face to be together. I thought it felt quite organic, which is something I particularly look for in a romance.
A great novel that I highly recommend in audio form.

Catherine Ryan-Barrett is running from her family fortune and a scandal in her past. Jennifer Kincaid is a writer on her way to a four week writing workshop in the mountains when a wrong turn leaves her stranded and on Ryan's path. Ryan and Jen both have issues. The set-up is pretty typical for a stuck-in-the-cabin romance. Ryan, a wealthy reclusive writer, saves Jennifer who has gotten lost and stuck in the snow. Of course, due to the weather, these two are stuck in Ryan's cabin for a long while until the snow melts enough for them to get to the road. At first neither are too happy as Ryan was looking forward to a few weeks of alone time, and Jennifer has a life to get back to.
During this time, they slowly get to know each other. By the time it's OK to leave, they are in love, even if they don't have the guts to say it. So, yeah, typical and not that unique. But for me it was more in how the two women naturally open up and make the best of it. And how they both have growing feelings, but feel the natural fears, vulnerability, and unease about expressing them.
Jennifer was up until this time straight and is technically engaged to be married. And Ryan has some trust issues due to coming from a very wealthy family and having been part of a scandal she'd rather forget about.
This was a slow burn romance.

'Snow Falls' by Gerry Hill is a sweet romance based on the Colorado mountain town of Lake City.
Catherine Ryan-Barrett is running from her family fortune and a scandal in her past. Jennifer Kincaid is a writer on her way to a four week writing workshop in the mountains when a wrong turn leaves her stranded and on Ryan’s path.
This was a straightforward romance in a great setting. The author did great moving the characters forward and away from their flaws. The secondary characters were also charming.
Found this one as part of the romance package in Audible. The narration was well done as well. Would recommend.

I thought this was one of her best books yet. I loved that she revisited old characters. I never go into any romance novel thinking it will be the best book I have ever read, but it does satisfy that fun read that you just enjoy the hell out of. I have read many of Gerri Hills's books and she continues to get better. I like books that feel as if the author enjoyed writing it.
I just listened to the audiobook. It too was great.

I thought this was a good listen. The biggest complaint for me is that it was a little too short. I did like the characters. Some parts were little unrealistic to me but that can be said for a lot of books.
I like that Hill has taken her old books and had Abby Craden give them new life. They make a great duo.

I've enjoyed every Gerri Hill book I've read and this one was no exception!
Ryan meets Jen when Jen gets lost and nearly dies in an avalanche. At that point, the two have to live in Ryan's cabin until spring. Ryan has secrets and has had trauma in her upbringing. Jen is an open book chatterbox. The dance that brings these two together and then separates them was exquisite to watch.
As with many books, the author hits themes of how childhood trauma and withholding of parental affection can cause the adult child to continue to punish themselves by avoiding relationships. Another common theme explored here is how do you know who you are? If you are always told you will grow up and marry a man, how do you ever figure out that might not be the path you need to choose?
Another fun read!
