| Professional Review: |
| As interior designer Jay Burns watches her long-term relationship slowly unravel, she runs into--literally--landscape designer Drew Montgomery. As their paths cross, both professionally and personally, a friendship develops, one they each try to maintain despite the obvious attraction between them. But still, Jay is not willing to throw away an eight-year relationship, even when it becomes painfully obvious the end is near. The Rainbow Cedar is the journey of one woman struggling with the loss of love and commitment from one, and the possibility of finding it all again with someone new. |

 Written on June 19, 2008 Summary: Standard story but OK for entertainment Jay Burns has known for a long time that her relationship with her partner Katherine is in trouble. Katherine is so focused on making partner in her law firm that she's seldom home and they're very disconnected when she is. Jay is convinced that she shouldn't throw away eight years, so she buries herself in developing her new interior design business and avoiding confrontation. That becomes more difficult when she meets landscape designer Drew Montgomery. Jay tries to tell herself that their growing friendship is because of their mutual interests, but that delusion doesn't hold up long. The situation is further complicated when Katherine arranges a strange trip to Hawaii for them with a lawyer from her firm and her "date" - Drew. When Katherine and her friend are more interested in running off together, Jay begins to suspect that work is not all that has kept her lover away from home. As one relationship unravels, another one strengthens, until Jay finds herself in the confrontation she had hoped to avoid, but no longer fears. There is another life with Drew if they can put all of the pieces back together. This is a standard Gerri Hill romance. The story is well told and most of the characters are appealing. The reader may wonder why Jay puts up with a minimal relationship for so long, but many people get caught in a status quo situation that they don't change until something dramatic happens. The really appealing character in the book is Drew, who could easily take advantage of a situation, but holds herself to a higher standard. She provides a stark contrast to Katherine. At the heart of the story is a theme that often isn't popular, infidelity, by both Katherine and ultimately Jay. The reader will probably be able to work her way around Jay's indiscretion because of Katherine's behavior. The Rainbow Cedar is a good vacation or weekend reading book. It will be a good way to spend a few hours seeing how these women work out their situation.  Written on June 5, 2008 Summary: What a FUN READ!!! The characters in "The Rainbow Cedar" are similar to those found in "Gulf Breeze". They banter, they tease, they titilate. They make you laugh out loud at times and then breathe a deep "ahhhh". There is no lesfic writer out there, in my opinion, who can transition from adventure/mystery/cop story to romance as well as Hill and lucky for me I enjoy all types of lesfic and Gerri Hill has never disappointed me with any of her books. When I read "The Rainbow Cedar" I was smiling from the moment Jay "bumps" into Drew early in the story through to the last page. And I admit I laughed out loud more than a few times along the way. And when I got to "the end" I felt like I had just hung out with a couple of really cool friends and had an exceptionally good time! And if that isn't enough, Hill does an excellent job of exploring the conflict and human emotion Jay feels as she faces the ending of one part of her life and the possibility of a whole new chapter. I'd say more but I don't want to spoil the story for you. "The Rainbow Cedar" is truly worth reading and if you loved Pat and Carly in "Gulf Breeze", you're sure to love this one too. So give it a read. You'll be glad you did. Written on May 27, 2008 Summary: The Rainbow Cedar Another great & fast read from Gerri Hill. This book had a great story line to follow, the way that Gerri described the chartacters you could picture them in your mind. I couldn't put this down, I finished it in less then 2 days and wanted the story to go on. Written on May 24, 2008 Summary: Rainbow Cedar One of my favorite authors. Gerri Hill has captured my attention again with her unique writing styles. What a great story. Written on May 10, 2008 Summary: Back to the tried and true formula I agree that Gerri Hill seems to be returning to her tried and true formula with this novel. After several disappointments, it's a relief to have enjoyed this book. Jay and Drew meet as a result of a traffic accident and sparks fly instantly. Jay is in a long term relationship that is stale and she is neglected by her ambitious partner. Her dilemma is at the center of this story. Will she leave her partner and follow her heart or settle for second best? There is nothing new or original in this plot, but Ms. Hill is an experienced author who makes sure her characters are interesting and sympathetic. I liked them enough to accept an ending that was a letdown, and writing that is jammed with cliches. Some of Ms. Hill's romances are pretty good but despite the hype, you can't depend on a high quality read every time unfortunately. The Rainbow Cedar is average, but it's a step up from The Cottage, so I'm giving it three stars. |
