Book Description
Dr. Carly Cambridge, wildlife biologist, returns to the Texas Gulf Coast to manage the latest Habitats for Nature project, restoring the woods and wetlands to their natural state. She is devoted to the environmental cause with a passion usually reserved for a lover - something she hasn't had since a disastrous love affair ten years earlier. Having sworn off women and relationships, Carly is perfectly content to live her life alone while she focuses on her latest project. Wildlife photographer Pat Ryan is duped into volunteering her talents to the Habitats For Nature cause, but she wants no part of the overzealous Dr. Cambridge. While they spend most of their time sparring and bickering, an early season hurricane finds them fighting nature - instead of each other - to save the wetlands and the birds that brought them together. Soon Carly finds her heart opening, little by little, and struggles to ignore the feelings that are growing between them. And Pat, always searching for that certain someone to take her breath away, can't believe for a moment that the woman she's been waiting for could possibly be Carly.

 Huge Fan of Gerri Hill May 24, 2008
What can I say? I love Gerri Hill's work. (She's a Texan, but she also writes great books.) Her characters are funny and the plots are engaging. "Gulf Breeze" was a great read. I put it right up next to "The Killing Room," my favorite Hill novel. The characters in Gulf Breeze were real. The banter and bickering were fun and sexy. This novel also contains the single most erotic love scene I've ever read. If you're looking for a romance between characters that you'll really like with a humor that adds to the experience, then look no further. This is your book.
Save the Wildlife August 1, 2006
I enjoy a little adversity between characters in a novel.
I think it is refreshing to see two people who care about each other, even though it doesn't appear this way, to work out their problems.
carley and Pat end up on the same page.
Good read...another good one by Hill.
Another Excellent Entry in Hill's Growing Body of Work April 19, 2006

Wildlife biologist Carly Cambridge moves to the south Texas coast to establish a wildlife habitat. When she needs a photographer, one of the habitat's benefactresses recommends Pat Ryan. From the getgo, Pat considers Carly to be an environmentalist wacko. Carly's not sure Pat is qualified to take the pictures she needs.
Gerri Hill has a real talent for intertwining a good story and a good romance. Her characters, like Pat and Carly, seemingly have nothing in common, but they always find common ground. She also uses the setting as a character. In this book, she adds a hurricane to the mix to add tension.
Once again, Hill has written a page-turner. Hill is one of the best writers writing in this genre. And she gets better with each new book.

Dr. Carly Cambridge and Pat Ryan, are two women who could not be more different. Carly is a nature biologist hoping to turn a patch of land into a wetland habitat. Pat is a photographer whose main experience with nature is that she takes pictures of wildlife.
Pat and Carly meet when Pat is "volunteered" by her aunt to take pictures for the habitat's brochure. Needless to say, their first meeting doesn't get off to a great start. Pat thinks Carly is whacko - Carly thinks Pat is infuriating. Little by little each woman soon comes to appreciate the skills of the other and find themselves both standing on the same side of the line - the line of nature versus humans.
Carly, who was burned badly by an ex-lover isn't looking for anyone, while Pat had given up on finding anyone to share her life with. When a hurricane suddenly threatens both the habitat and the two women, they are forced to face feelings they've been fighting to keep hidden. Will a chance at love for Pat and a new start for Carly be ended before it even begins? And will the habitat itself be able to survive possible destruction?
While taking the readers on an intriguing journey of two women as they face the trials and tribulations of love, Gulf Breeze is also a terrific lesson of how nature fights a constant battle to survive against the human race.
A great light read! May 31, 2005

Get your iced tea, and find a comfy seat. This is a great light read. The characters are well developed, and the romance builds slowly. A great environmental theme, and an interesting setting on the Texas Gulf Coast. Loved it!
