Kendall
Martin appears to be planning a trip to Alaska.
I can feel some sympathy for Kendall and her trip. My first trip in an airplane started on a two
prop job. I had a cold and a stuffy head
and by the time I got to my destination I felt so sick.
One
show that I love to watch on the Discovery Channel is “Fly Wild Alaska”. If you have never watched the program, you
may want to check out http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/flying-wild-alaska/
or check your local listings. This book
also reminds me of “Northern Exposure” that was on television during the early
nineties. I can picture Denn being
played by John Corbett and Kendall by Janine Turner.
Kendall’s journey ends in Staamat,
Alaska. We see that Kendall is something
of a mystery. Something is going on with her that only
traveling to Alaska can fix. If you stop
over to the Alaska Romance Writers of America web site, http://akrwa.blogspot.com/2012/09/unsafe-haven-book-of-my-heart.html,
you can read how Char used to live in Alaska and how she went about choosing
Staamat.
Denn Nulo is the Chief of Police in
Staamat. He meets Kendall at the town’s
airport. We see that Denn’s job covers
more than just police work. Kendall’s
first few days start at the local Bed and Breakfast while she settles into her
new surroundings – something that I would love to do. She’s starting over fresh – there have been times in my life when I wished
that I could do the same thing but then reality sets back in.
Char
has given Denn a younger sister named Luna.
She’s a teenager who’s trying to deal with growing up and having
juvenile diabetes. Both that are tough
separately, never mind trying to deal with them at the same time and Denn has
had to be the parent.
Kendall’s
new life starts when she arrives at a place located at Puffin Circle – puffins have
always been one of my favorite animals.
They are one of those animals that they are so ugly they’re cute. If you stop over to Alaska Stock, http://www.alaskastock.com/Puffin_Photos.asp,
you can see some of their photos that they have taken of these animals.
Conroy Herington is spending a lot of
time and money looking for someone named Victoria Wyndham. Char shows the reader that having money has
no correlation with how a person acts – some of it may be how they were raised
or maybe even a chemical imbalance of some kind. That just goes to show that wishing you were
rich doesn’t necessarily make a person happy.
Char
does a great job at painting pictures of true romance between her two main
characters. One reason this is
considered a sensual romance is because of the lack of sex. But she teases us enough with her words that
the actual act isn’t needed. Our
imaginations can fill in any blanks.
When
writing in suspense into her romance she could have gone the route that makes
it a little too graphic. Char wants to
keep your attention and wanting to turn the pages. The suspense seems to center around Conroy
and it’s weaved throughout the whole story.
If
you love romance stories that keep you on the edge of your seat with the hero
coming to save the day, you will love Char’s latest. If you’ve never read any of Char’s work
before, what better way to change that.
Maybe you have a new Kindle or Nook and you can’t decide what to add to
your library, consider adding this book – you won’t be disappointed.
