“I don’t know if I’m going to wake up and think I’ve lost my mind or if I’m going to wake up and think finally, I’ve found what’s been missing all these years.” “It takes two to make a relationship work, but it just takes one to destroy it when one becomes disinterested.” “Don’t you dare come into my life, make me feel like this about you, make me want you . . . and then say forget about it. Don’t you dare do that to me.”+ • + • + • +An entertaining & enjoyable story with some intriguing & interesting likeable characters, several hot scenes. An easy, light reading kind of book.

Another awesome book! Kept me glue from the beginning and I did not want to put the book down till I read the last page!

Susan has walked out of her marriage after catching her husband in their bed with a 20-something woman. She escapes to the couple's cabin in the King's Canyon National Park. One day, while walking one of the trails, a dog bounds across the river to shake muddy cold water all over her. The dog's owner, Shawn, apologizes, and that seems to be the end of their encounter. But you have to know that with a Gerri Hill book, that is only the beginning.In this outing, Hill takes a very married, but basically unhappy, woman and shows how she deals with the end of a 20-year marriage, with her family, and with new friends. There are many sub-plots in this book, but the one you love to hate is the sub-plot involving Susan's sister and mother who are insistent that she return to her husband and their life in society. The sub-plot you love to love is Susan's daughter's coming out.This is one of Hill's stronger outings. She doesn't rush Susan's angst over ending her marriage nor does she rush the obvious attraction Susan begins to feel toward Shawn. Once again, Hill develops characters that you'd like to know better.

Gerri hill never fails and she’s one of the best author that I would never think twice when her book is out. I read this book almost 15 years ago and decided to read it again and loved it all over again. I have to say this is one of the best romance out there.

I actually own the paperback of the book and have re-read it several times and wanted to own it in ebook so I could read it over and over at my leisure. The book has well developed characters and a plausable plot where you can actually see yourself or get the "Oh yeah, I been there!" eyebrow raising feeling. This is a discovery story with two main characters; one a seasoned lesbian with a mysterious past who is essentially a loner. The second character is a married women running away from a cheating husband. Both discover each other on a camping path thru the lesbian's over-eager and lovable dog. Through this meeting they make several discoveries about life, themselves and love. The makeout and sex scenes are kinda hot! Unlike other reviewers, I'm not going to spoil things for ya, read it, you'll like it!

To me, that's what this story is. Susan has just found out her husband cheated on her. She flees to their cabin in the mountains. Every weekend Shawn, how has her own personal demons, retreats to the mountains to camp. They cross path. At first, a reluctant friendship is formed. Slowly each become the others best friend. They confide things they couldn't in anyone else. Shawn helps Susan deal with her family. As usual, things don't exactly stay friendly between them. But is a woman who's been married twenty years to a man ready to even think of a relationship with a woman? and Shawn's heart is fragile. can she take a chance friendship can lead to more? great read. I do love old fashioned romances.

Gerri Hill certainly doesn't disappoint with this one, her fourth book. Watching the friendship form between Shawn and Susan is very refreshing. It just seems so easy and comfortable. The relationship grows and the passion is wonderful. However, there are plenty of twists and turns along the way to romance. Susan's family is full of surprises, but Shawn has a few surprises of her own. When you finish this book, you will find yourself sighing with contentment. Yes, it's that good. Dawn Of Change is an excellent read. If you have not yet read a a book by Gerri Hill, I'm sorry. You're really missing out. I've always been extremely satisfied with Gerri's books, and I'm really looking forward to Hunter's Way in May.

This book was well written, the characters believable and real. Life is always shades of gray. But sometimes things turn out right . A story that is attention grabbing and wonderful. I've already recommend this book and others to friend.

One of my favourite Gerri Hill books – 5 starsThis is a beautifully crafted romance, telling the story of the developing relationship between Shawn Weber and Susan Stirling. Having found her husband in bed with a younger woman, Susan leaves for their holiday cabin. Feeling both deeply hurt and angry, Susan encounters Shawn on one of her walks and the two quickly become friends. Shawn, who works at a women’s centre, immediately recognises that Susan needs someone to talk with and provides her that support. Gradually, their friendship develops into mutual attraction and the women, tentatively at first, explore their changing relationship.I really enjoyed the structure of this book, apart from the initial encounter between Shawn and Susan, nearly all the other scenes take place at the cabin. Written in a way that the reader becomes an observer of what goes on at the cabin, we learn not only about the developing relationship between Shawn and Susan, but also something of their lives leading-up to their first encounter. The story also introduces some wonderful secondary characters in the shape of Susan’s immediate family.In addition to the main story line, there are several sub-plots which serve to add interest. The book explores the relationship Susan has, not only with Shawn, but also with her daughter, sister, mother and estranged husband. Again, all the various scenes are played-out as the parties spend time at the cabin. Sometimes funny, occasionally exasperating, but also scattered with achingly beautiful moments of friendship and love, this is a book that examines the lead characters themselves, and those who touch their lives.Thoroughly enjoyable, and one of my favourite Gerri Hill books – No hesitation in recommending it to anyone who enjoys a classic lesfic romance.

One to read again and again. Gerri always comes up with new storylines that keep you gripped to the pages and up late as you can’t put it down. Gold.

Loved this book. Hard to put down . Loved all the descriptions of the scenery, it was like you could be there yourself. Love pets in a story as im an animal lover. Will definately recommend and read again in the future.

This is not going to be everybody's cup of tea and to enjoy this book one has to be open minded about the meaning of sexuality and the explicitness of a close relationship. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will be looking for more from G Hill.

Love Gerri Hill books this is a nice read
