Storms
Estranged from her father and four brothers after her mother’s death, Carson Cartwright is not expecting a call from her twin. He urges a reconciliation before their father succumbs to his final illness. Though she has spent more than a decade trying to forget her family existed, the circumstances pull her back to the Montana ranch where she grew up.
Carson discovers her brothers divided over plans to change their working ranch into a guest ranch, and their consultant, Kerry Elder, doesn’t seem above using her wiles to get her way. Kerry finds that while she may have her clients right where she wants them, it’s the wayward sister that may be awakening something she has long denied.
The big Montana sky crackles with thunder and lightning as emotions twist in unbidden directions. Neither Carson nor Kerry is prepared for the wild storms of summer.
Storms joins Sierra City, No Strings and many others on Gerri Hill’s ever-increasing list of best-selling and award-winning novels.

About the author
Gerri Hill
56 books1,537 followersGerri 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."

It was a well-paced slowburn. Carson and Kerry's chemistry was amazing from their first encounter and only increased from there. Cody was such a pompous jerk, every time Kerry chose Carson over him added 5 years to my life. All the siblings names start with 'C'. Cody, Colt, Carson, Chase and Chance Cartwright of Circle C Ranch. Half the time I was confused between the guys. Other than the MCs Chase was the only character I cared about.

Hit me like a ton of bricks.*
The plot. Carson Cartwright unwillingly returns home to Montana when she learns her father is terminally ill. Her welcome home however is anything but warm. And what does this attractive business consultant want anyway? Their money? Her brother? Or someone else entirely?
The characters. Simply put, there were characters I liked and there are characters I hate. They each had their own role to play and it worked well to keep me turning the pages. I did question the role of one or two tertiary characters however. They didn't add anything to the overall plot and their arc's felt like filler.
The writing. Gerri Hill immediately drops the reader into the thick of things. No preamble. No real character introduction. Just straight into the story and then it's full steam ahead. Personally I really liked this approach. The blurb after all tells you everything you need to know.
The special. I really liked the (almost) slow burn relationship between Carson and Kerry. They had good chemistry and despite Carson considering herself the Lesbian Whisperer™ and being convinced Kerry was gay, Kerry still came to her own conclusions at her own pace.
The negative. Even though I liked the gradual build up of their relationship, I would have liked more chapters from Kerry's POV. She went through a lot of changes in a short amount of time and I wanted to constantly be in her head space for it. Finally, I hate Carson's entire family. Except for Chase.
The verdict. Full of heartbreak and love, this is not a light read. It deals with some pretty heavy topics including a terrible illness that still affects far too many people. It's also strangely a story of hope because despite all the heartbreak Carson went through, she's still standing.
*The very personal.

Carson Cartwright is estranged from her father and brothers and hasn’t been in contact with them for more than a decade. That is until her twin brother asks her to come back home to Montana to see her terminally ill father. When she arrives home, Carson discovers her brothers’ plans to convert the family farm into a guest ranch and the consultant behind the project cunning ways to get them to agree.
The Cartwright’s farm is Kerry Elder’s first project as a self-employed consultant and she really needs this job to succeed if she wants to make it in this business. What she wasn’t counting on is Carson Cartwright’s charm and her brothers’ resistance… Will both women be able to go past family and business conflicts to have a chance at love?
‘Storms’ is a homecoming story with a side of family drama and conflict. I’ve read this book a few years ago and I have to admit that it’s one of my least favourite by this author.
There seem to be two stories running in parallel, the romance and the family conflict, that never appear to blend completely. On top of that, there is Kerry’s coming out story and flirting with one of Carson’s brothers, who has an old feud with Carson. It seemed too much going on and too many characters for a relatively short novel. I also missed Ms. Hill’s depictions of the landscape and wildlife which are normally present in her work. Considering that the setting was a ranch in Montana, it was a lost opportunity.
This story has more male characters than usual in lesfic but Ms. Craden managed to voice all of them in a distinctive and realistic manner. Colour me impressed by her ability to do so. As usual, Ms. Craden does a fantastic job but for me, the written story wasn’t good enough to make this audiobook as enjoyable as others by the Hill-Craden partnership.
The audio is available for free with a Scribd subscription so, even though I didn’t like it as much as others by this author, it’s ok to listen. Duration: 6 hours, 21 minutes.
Overall, a good lesbian homecoming audiobook. 3 stars for the story, 5 stars for the narration. Average, 4 stars.

Storms by Gerri Hill is an engaging blend of family drama and romance set on a picturesque Montana ranch. The story reintroduces us to Carson Cartwright, who returns home to reconnect with her estranged family amidst their plans to convert the family farm into a guest ranch, steered by consultant Kerry Elder. Although Kerry identifies as straight at the beginning of the novel, a romance quickly escalates between Kerry and Carson. The dynamic between Carson and Kerry adds a compelling layer to the novel's complex family-centric plot.
Even though it has a complex plot, Gerri Hill manages to maintain a steady pace and keep the reader engaged. The backdrop of the Montana ranch adds a scenic charm to the narrative, although it could have been explored further.
I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Abby Craden's narration - it is exceptional, as she manages to give each character a distinct and realistic voice despite the multitude of male characters.
Overall, another great read from Gerri Hill with an interesting blend of themes and strong character portrayals.

Such a nice way to spend the day with Abby Craden reading Gerri Hill's swoon worthy romance Storms.
No surprise, this author knows how to build a solid romance and she ticks all the boxes in this one. A bittersweet coming home story with plenty of family drama but not a lot of angst. Carson and Kerry have oodles of crackling chemistry and if you are on Scribd you simply have no excuse to pass this by.
Abby Craden knows how to keep you spellbound. Her narration just sweeps you off your feet. I feel I need to build an extention to my Abby Craden shrine. Such a Goddess.
f/f explicit
Themes: Montana, ranch conversion, sibling rivalry on steroids, a bitter father who's dying, Windstorm the stallion, Carson gets her toaster oven, 6 hours and 20 minutes of wonderful story telling.

Fantastic story and probably my favourite Gerri Hill book to date. When I started this book I thought it was going to be just another great love story but his one has a little more darkness to it. Carson’s dad is dying but she doesn’t feel bad for him and she’s not sure she’ll ever forgive him, even on his death bed. The only person she can really tell this to is the stranger whom she feels an odd connection to and that person is Kerry, the consultant in her brother’s employ. I liked Carson a lot, she easily played the annoying little sister when she would wind up her brother, Cody about his ex girlfriend but then would be the loving, sensual and caring person when she was with Kerry. Carson’s relationship with her twin brother Chase was great and I enjoyed watching them become close again. It really honed in on the heartbreak Carson felt from being shunned by her family.

Abby Craden, she of divine voice and towering talent, could read a grocery list and have us not only riveted but also believing that it is something special. And Bella Books (the publisher) seems to be especially fond of this book seeing that the ebook was first published in 2011, the paperback in 2013 and then this audiobook in 2020. But in Ms. Craden’s voice and with her performance, the book is still good.

Gerri Hill doing what she does best and Abby Craden's narration is second to none.
The scene setting places you in the ranch going through a time of redevelopment/improvements to take into the future.
The main characters had you fighting for their future together. The family dynamics were quite interesting as well. I did have to get my head around all names beginning with the same or similar letter but this did not detract from the story, I found it rather amusing for the parents that named the children!

Another of Gerri's lovely romances narrated by the incredible Abby Craden. At just shy of 6-1/2 hours, it's one that fits perfectly between two longer listens. Satisfying and romantic. I have decided that Abby Craden's performance of whispers during love scenes is my happy place. Makes me swoon every time. *sigh* 4-1/2 Stars rounded up to 5 because - Abby.

Lots of shitty male characters on a ranch together. I couldn’t keep track of them all because they each had similar names (this was purposefully chosen since they’re siblings).
Somewhere in all this, the main character—the shitty guys’ sister—falls in love with the woman they’ve hired to help improve the ranch.
What happens to their ranch? Who knows. It catches fire, the angriest brother punches two of his siblings, and then the lovebirds leave the ranch to start their own with the one not-shitty brother. Happily Ever After.

I was surprised that I really liked this one. It just she once more shows that even if the story is kind of same old, same old, good characterization and/or something special about a book can make for a really enjoyable read rather than being annoyed most of the time.
There was something about the characters here that really clicked with me, even if most plot lines could be seen coming from a mile away. I also really thought that the setting was described marvelously.
Also, for a Bella book, really light on spelling mistakes ;)

Gerri Hill is always a good reason for me to try a book.
But after reading her detective/cop stories like Hunter's way, I must say I'm a bit spoiled/critical. A Book like Storms didn't give me the thrill, excitement, and therefor didn't pull me in like other's by the same writer. When I can easily lay down a book to do other stuff it's not a 5 star book to me. Because if a book really gets my attention I get lost in it, until I finish it.
Still, I got a few hours of nice reading time out of it.
There was nothing really wrong with it, but there wasn't really anything that made it original/special.
A nice outback/ranch environment, two nicely described lead characters. Some family drama, and exciting/sparkling sexual tension. What else can I ask for when having a night at home reading a book. Except, maybe to get a bit more surprised and drawn into it, but we can't have that with every book we read.......

This was a well paced slow burn story from start to finish. I’ve been in a bit of a slump and this one was a perfect mix of romance and spice and was an easy read.

I really didn't think I'd love this story as much as I did. Mainly because it sounded like something I had read before and because of its average rating (lower than a lot of really lame stories of this genre).
But it was such a pleasant surprise, and I still got the feels 30 minutes after finishing it.
It's funny to see how authors of this genre have such different conceptions of love. Maybe the love they write is a reflection of their experience. Maybe they write about what they think love is or should be.
In any case, I have come to realise Gerri Hill's conception of love is one of my favorite. It's the love that touches me the most. Storms is a perfect example of it: a love that makes you feel safe and terrified at the same time, a love you can't escape, a love that takes you by surprise, a love that you feel straight away even if you don't really realise it yet, a connection that feels so natural and so familiar... Gerri Hill describes it very well, it's a feeling of being home and being complete. And this love comes with a sexual attraction like no other, when you feel so strongly for someone that you can't stop wanting to touch them, to consume them and to give yourself to them entirely in return. This love is so strong that it's forever and it's obvious to everyone around. That's just it.. Carson and Kerry cannot NOT be in love.
God, how romantic and HOT this story was. Words fail me. Carson and Kerry are beautiful human beings, and Carson's story is heart breaking. I think I'm in love with her. I also think I'm in love with Kerry. She appears to be this very sweet and calm woman but becomes this wild animal when overcome with desire. It's extremely sexy. I also appreciate that she doesn't care about falling in love with a woman, so it's not a story about a straight woman coming out.
The pace is perfect, the burn is slow, the tension is high and the build up is so enjoyable it made my heart race. I love that the connection between both woman is obvious, that it's always present, and that they don't need to talk about it, they simply know. And it's my favorite kind of romance. I don't even care that it didn't even take them a month to be madly in love with each other, Gerri Hill manages to make the story very believable, and anyway... even if it's rare, I do believe you can find love that quickly.
I recommend it to people who are sensitive, who love getting butterflies while reading a story and finishing it wishing they could find a love that beautiful.

This book was not something that drew my attention I must admit and I only read it because of the insistence of a friend! I was not disappointed!
I listened to this book in less than 24 hours, I couldn’t put it down! I said to my friend I loved this but what did I love about it, it was so unexpected….
The author I felt immersed me in the story, when there were mysteries she never left us hanging, something I can find annoying when reading, as a lot of authors drag it right out until the very end!
I enjoyed the various stories going on behind the scenes, a homecoming, a family drama, a potential love, it was good how the author blended them all.
The narrator, Abby Craden was amazing, as always, and her voice adaptation for each of the four brothers was very impressive!
It was the first book I’ve read by this author and it won’t be the last! Cheers for the recommendation Statum🙂

Ope- spent the day on a Gerri Hill bender. Read three of her books today.
February 21, 2022
Really love Gerri Hill when she's at the top of her form - and this book is that. Love the story, the siblings rivalry and the unapologetic love. Excellent and recommended.
February 26, 2024
This is what I need Gerri Hill novels to be. Sweet coming-home/second chance romances with family drama and good chemistry. No miscommunications, creepy secondary characters, questionable plot devices, just a couple of fairly well-adjusted adults discovering love with each other.
All of you old Hill fans who are like me and have become wary of starting a new book by the author should feel confident in picking this one up.
And the audio version is done well. Abby Craden has become a wlw favorite and, while I don't always enjoy the deeper, huskier voice she uses for one of the women in a couple, it was fine. The quality of the recording is good, which isn't always the case in lesfic.
Ok, that was sort of a ramble but there you go...

3”5 rounded up to 4.
I listened to this some time ago, enjoying it more than I did this most recent time. It’s an older book. Something annoying I’ve noticed in the older audiobooks is how frequently the narrator says, she said, followed by the same phrase for the other character! It’s not a knock on Abby Craden, but, please! I don’t need to hear this repeated so often!
The story was about Carson and her three brothers and their horse ranch. Kerry comes aboard to help them convert the place to a guest ranch. Carson and Kerry have eyes for each other, but there’s a problem when Cody, one of the brothers, also has eyes for her.

the first 50 pages of this book irritated me because i don't like consultants. they always want to change things and i do not like change. plus, i hate to see family ranches turn into dude ranches. of course, around where i live, the scenery is too drab to attract anyone willing to pay $2,000 per week so ranchers sell out to oil companies who drill, drill, drill. which is worse than a dude ranch.
BUT kerry was a good character after all -- not a money grubber.
i love gerri hill's books. but i guess i've been reading too many romances lately as some things irked me for being too fantastic and not how things would happen in real life. like, carson just had a horrible fight with her dad and was crying and went from that trauma to having sex with kerry in an instant. and, if a person had as many international one night stands as carson did, i'd be asking for a clean bill of health signed by a medical doctor before having sex. keep them STDs to yourself please. and carson NEVER had to work?!? she just inherited this ridiculous amount of money from a dead grandmother who accepted her sexuality?!?! and a wild white stallion just lets carson hop on his back, no problemo??? unbelievable! but romances aren't based on reality, so i should let that go. by the end of the book, i was loving the story. i wish that is how real life really was -- lesbians and love for everyone. oh, and ridiculously rich inheritances, too.

Gerri Hill and Abby Craden never disappoint me. This was an excellent book. I’m also happy I was able to introduce my Irish friend, Ciara, to these books!

Storms was one of my first Gerri Hill reads. I still love it as much now as I did that first time years ago. This book holds the story of Carsen and Kerry. Carsen is full of pain after the death of her mother, and her father kicking her off the family homestead. She buried her pain in sex with woman and travel. Never really making a deeper connection with anyone. I love how Kerry awakens her heart. She finds love not just with Kerry but with three of the four brothers she left behind. Kerry never realized that the reason she was single was because she was looking for love with the wrong gender. Carsen helps her to acknowledge that truth within herself. Their love is tender and I much enjoyed it. Side note: I was entertained how all the Cartwrights had first names beginning with a C.
