Where life's currents take you…
Dana Raynott just traveled 3,600 miles to reunite with the brother who changed his name and fled to Alaska nineteen years ago. It's impossible not to be moved by this wild, breathtaking state, even if Dana's no closer to finding the answers she came here for.
Her brother's best friend, Anchorage engineer Sam MacKettrick, might be able to help her. He's strong and kind—a six-foot, irresistible blend of diverse cultures. He's also haunted by a tragic family history with a startling connection to Dana's past…
My Thoughts:
Dana Raynott wants to reconnect with a brother she hasn’t seen in
a long time. Sam MackKettrick is an
interesting man but hard to figure out.
Some of that might be due to the mystery that slowly reveals itself and
how it connects our two main characters together. Dana’s brother Chris is very aloof and having
him out of the picture just makes you wanting to know more.
I love my sexy reads but that’s not all that I love and this book
was a good reminder. It’s a clean read
but for me it was all about that mystery and trying to solve and how it
connects our characters. I’m not good at
solving mysteries so I have to rely on the author to help me through the
process. It’s a great way to keep things
a surprise and having me turn the page to see what our author will reveal next. But she does have questions swirling in my
brain as to how well did I really know my parents – maybe I have a mystery of
my own to look into.
This book is a great incentive if you’ve ever thought about going
to Alaska. I watch some of the shows on
TV but this author has me moving my trip up on my bucket list. If I’m going to pack reading material it will
have to be this book. I’ve been a
Harlequin fan since high school and I think this is a great addition to my
collection. By the time you finish, you
will understand why Harlequin has added to their Heartwarming series.
Toward the very end, Dana says something to Sam that sums things
up nicely – this book was a great adventure.
It also left me looking forward to reading more of this series. And it was nice to be informed that the next
book will be coming out in December – what a nice Christmas gift to myself.
