After the Summer Rain

De: Gerri Hill

Narrado por: Nicol Zanzarella

Workaholic Erin Ryder was on the fast track to self-destruction. Reeling after her lover walked out on her, she turned to booze and caffeine to make it through each day. After a family intervention, she finds herself on a remote ranch in New Mexico - on womyn’s land - to detox and heal. No cell service, no internet - she’s convinced she won’t last three days, much less for the three-month sentence her father has mandated.

Running from the chaos that had become her life, Melanie West moved to Eagle Bluff Ranch seven years ago. By far the youngest there, she embraced the compassionate, peaceful life that the elders espoused. Living off what her garden produced, her chickens and goats became her friends and confidants. Exposure to the outside world was limited to the handful of guests who stayed a few days at the ranch each year.

This summer would be different. Melanie found herself hosting a young woman for three months. A young woman who wanted to be anywhere but there. As the days and weeks passed, their animosity turned to friendship as they helped the other heal from their past failures.

Erin soon found herself loving life on Mel’s little farm. Loving life and loving Mel. Saying goodbye would be the hardest thing she had to do - saying goodbye to Mel...or saying goodbye to her previous life.

FAN-FRIGGIN-TASTIC!!!!!!!

I loved the realness of the lead characters! Mel and Erin were holding my heart in their hands for the entire book!! The ensemble characters were very much present without being overly entrenched in their story! Gerri Hill is the first lesbian author I fell in love with and have all of her books except 2 that I will be purchasing soon. She had me completely when I first got started years ago with Hunter's Way and One Summer Night....OHMIGOSH!!!!!!! SHE IS ONE OF THE BEST!!

Great story!

Another great-& one is my favorite-Gerri Hill stories! Believable story, loved the main characters, highly recommend!

Enjoyed The Storyline and Characters

The main characters were down to earth and complimented each other. I also enjoyed escaping with the description of the remote area, gardening, and animals.

Worth a shot if you like the author.

I like it a fair bit, plot was a bit aimless, but it works for the setting. Could be worse. Some of the scene transitions are a little weird, but not distracting.

the humor was very good. made it so enjoyable

I had to get a new phone and lost all the books I had in my library. this book i bought it again . I have listen to it many time

Not high literature, but sweet romance

Well, I really liked the New Mexico ranch setting and country life there. The story was a nice escape.

Beautiful story

Erin's forced journey to healing and discovery was nicely done but felt should have explored Melanie's story more. Overall a very good story... worth the read/credit. Narrator didn't do the story justice though

Lovable, natural, perfect. It took my breath away.

Fantastisk, my heart jumped several times and I didn't want the book to stop. It felt so real, something I felt myself.

Amazing!

This book had me in tears! It was so good. The characters were very likeable and you really form connections with them. Great read!

After the Summer Rain

This story makes me want to move to a ranch - a remote womyn's ranch, to be exact.

Erin and Mel both had their demons to battle. Spending time with one another and bonding was exactly what they needed in order to do that. They needed each other.

Another good read that'll warm your heart. 🥰

Nicol Zanzarella really brings out the emotions with her narrating...great job 👏👏👏
