Summary: The best..
Review: I was trully touched by this book. I laughed, I cried, and I was left craving more. I'm not a book reader at all, but once I started reading this book, I was hooked. I couldn't put it down, and I didn't until the very last word even though it was 3:30 in the morning. Being that the story took place in my home state made it all the better for me. No one but a Texan can trully understand a Texas Summer. ;) I was able to identify with Jo from the start. She so desperately wanted to love Kelly, but wouldn't allow herself, until she couldn't take it any longer. I had a young woman persue me just like Kelly did Jo. I finally submitted to her a couple months ago, and they have been the happiest of my life. When I was done with the book, I immediately sent her an e-mail and told her that I loved her. This is a book that I will cherish for a long time. You will love reading it. Ohhh... and the love-making scenes were HOT! How Ms. Hill was able to capture the desire before the actual love-making scenes is beyond me. I was just as hot as Kelly and Jo were. And how she described the scenes is just amazing. She made it so soft, slow, and sensual. It wasn't all raw and fast. I loved it. And you will, too.

Summary: A Great Love Story - beats all odds!
Review: I would have to say that this novel is totally based on true love! the story line was not at all boring or long winded, it portrayed two different lives and not once did it show the straggles of love as an issue. I recommend this book to anyone who has a love at heart - and who will not let there love disappear. Great story loved it! Just wonder what happens now to Kelly and Jo after there trip.

Summary: Love and patience wins out in the end
Review: Jo and Kelly share one night of unbridled passion - something which Jo has never done in her life. She vows never to do so again and feels safe considering that Kelly lives out of town. She has been hurt by a former relationship and has vowed to keep her heart to herself. In addition, some "friends", especially one who wants Jo for herself trash Kelly as a womanizer. Imagine Jo's surprise when Kelly is hired as a teacher at her school. Kelly trys to reach out to Jo but Jo is afraid and rebuffs her. Finally, a personal tragedy brings the two together and Jo no longer believes the stories she has heard about Kelly;however, she still can't bring herself to tell Kelly she loves her even though in her heart, she knows she does. Fortunately, Jo awakens before she loses Kelly forever and "One Summer Night" will turn into a lifetime of love. The erotic scenes were "hot" but even though Kelly didn't seem the masochistic type how she could show so much patience was unbelievable and even though Jo had been hurt, you wanted to scream at her. How much more did Kelly have to do to prove herself? It seemed that after every hurdle she passed, Jo threw another one in front of her. I fear that in real life, Jo's fear would have lost her the love of her life but fortunately this is not real life so she comes to her senses in time.

Summary: Not what I expected in a she/she romance book but...
Review: My first she/she romance novel and although it is not what I expected in this genre...I still thought "ONE SUMMER NIGHT" by Gerri Hill, was a very good story!
Rating: 
Summary: Hot scenes but weak characters
Review: One Summer Night is a first novel for Gerri Hill and is a promising beginning. Her romantic encounters are powerfully erotic and may prompt many readers to return to this story. However her characterization is rather flat and the plot is thin. Some women are portrayed rather one dimensionally and Hill, however unintentionally, sometimes falls victim to using some negative stereotyping. An educated, thirty something college instructor, Johanna Marshall suffers from the loss of her parents as a child -- despite having been raised by loving grandparents who have accepted her lesbianism without strife -- and the betrayal of (in hindsight) a clearly inappropriately matched lover. For the last several years, Jo has climbed into her ivory tower and shut the door. Dragging herself out to watch friends play in a softball tourney, Jo is drawn to a ringer brought in to boost the team she supports. The former college ball player is the attractive, intelligent Kelly Sambino. The two women are drawn together by an almost overwhelming attraction and end up spending a tremendously charged night together. The next morning Jo awakes to find Kelly, who had a game to play in the morning, gone. Despite their backgrounds in writing and communication the two women prove to be very poor communicators. Almost annoyingly so. Jo, confused and embarrassed by the night's impulsively, does not go to the ball field. Thus adding to the miscommunication particularly since Kelly lives in another town. After the tournament, some of Jo's friends suggest that Kelly has a reputation as a "Don Juan." Thus Jo returns to hide in her academic tower, though the memory of their passion remains. Fall semester brings a new faculty member to Jo's department and it's Kelly. Still interested in Jo, Kelly tries to court Jo as well as clarify their earlier miscommunication. Jo spends lots of energy trying to keep Kelly at arm's length but calls on her for solice when her grandfather dies suddenly. Kelly is the more likeable of this hit-and-miss couple, although her willingness to put up with Jo's passive-aggressive behavior is rather masochistic. Perhaps more annoying is the treatment of secondary characters. One of the few short and over weight dykes (most are lean, althetic, and beautiful) is depicted as insensative, desperate, and mean spirited with her attempts to trash Kelly to Jo in an effort to woo Jo for herself. As some of Hill's writing is quite moving, one hopes that her future novels will explore characterization and plot in a more complex manner.

Summary: Hot,... Hot.. Hot
Review: One Summer Night is a story of Jo Marshall a lecturer who, although constantly being pushed by friends to 'get out more' is wary of falling in love due to having her heart broken. Enter Kelly a stunning looking woman from out of town to join some of Jo's friends for a softball tournament. Lots of lust, lots of sex and of course a happy ending. I enjoyed this book so much that 2 days after I read it I picked it up and re-read it.

Summary: Sizzles
Review: This book is certainly hot. Gerri Hill generates a lot of steam and delivers a lot of what we all seem like in our romances. Definitely pages to re-read. The plot, however, is weak. Girl is seduced by a reputed Lothario and vows no repeats, but turns to her seducer for succor in a moment of crisis. Misunderstandings and gossip abound. It's not cutting edge and I hope that Hill's next book (which I will eagerly look for) has more stretch in the plotting.

Summary: Incredibly Intriguing
Review: This book is HOT! I've been reading these types of novels for a few years and there are only a few I've found so good I couldn't put them down and this is definately one of them. The love scenes are wonderful and the plot is fulfilling. Gerri Hill is extremely talented & should definately write more books. One of my other favorites is "Room for Love" by Frankie J. Jones.

Summary: Oh My!!!
Review: This book was amazing! I read it in a few hours. It was impossible to put down. When I finished I went back and read parts again. This book has such intense passion and strong emotions that I couldn't help but think about it the entire following day. Do relationships like that really exist? One can only hope! I highly recommend this book and I can't wait for Gerri's next masterpiece!
