Book Reviews of Behind the Pine Curtain

Book Review: Slow, slow, slow... I gave up midway through this one!
Summary: 2 Stars

Behind the Pine Curtain's plot moved at a snail's pace, which wouldn't have been so bad had the romantic tension been built up along the way. Unfortunately, not only was there no "slow burn", there were no discernible romantic sparks between the two protagonists (at least in the first half of the book). Gerri Hill did a nice job of fleshing out the deep friendship between the two and they certainly had a ton of chemistry; it just wasn't sexual chemistry (at least in my opinion). The secondary characters and the overall "small-town" feel of the book were also well-developed.

I much preferred Gerri Hill's romantic suspense efforts, such as The Target and The Killing Room. Unlike BTPC, they were fast-paced and the romantic attraction between the leads was undeniable... a simple and winning formula for romance novels.

Summary of Behind the Pine Curtain

Jacqueline Keys was ostracized from her small hometown of Pine Springs, Texas when she was seventeen, sent away because she was gay. Her family was the largest employer in the county, owning Pine Springs Lumber, and her father was mayor of this small town. Her mother could not accept the fact that her only child was gay, could not tolerate the gossip about her family. So, with a hundred dollars in her pocket and a one-way bus ticket out of town, Jacqueline was told not to come back until she had come to her senses. And that included being prepared to marry the son of a business associate of the family.

Fifteen years later?long after she?d hitch-hiked to Los Angeles, long after she?d worked nights to put herself through college, and long after she?d written her first best seller, No Place For Family?Jacqueline is persuaded to go back to the tiny town of Pine Springs after her father?s death.

The quick trip she?d envisioned for the funeral turns into weeks as she learns her father?s business is suddenly hers to manage. And she is also again face-to-face with the woman who, as a teen, had been Jackie?s first crush. She and Kay had been inseparable as kids, and later as teens. They find themselves falling back into their old habits, and Jackie is soon fighting the same feelings she?d had when she was seventeen.

But living behind the pine curtain, Kay is afraid of her love for Jackie, afraid of what her family will say, afraid of how the town will react. Jackie refuses to hide, refuses to crawl back into the closet, so once again, she leaves Pine Springs . . . alone.

Will Kay let her go? Or will Kay follow her heart?
