But this confirmed bachelor has no intentions of getting caught in any woman's crosshairs especially a hunter as appealing as Alex. It isn't long before she finds exactly what she's looking for#58 one sexy pilot named Michael Casey. Trading in her Wall Street job and fancy condo for a rundown cabin in the woods. He is never going to see it coming.Ī woman with a talent for numbers, Alexandra Scott wanted to escape the rat race and go someplace where the men outnumber the women. The store is dismal, and the cabin is occupied by vermin, but she is now Alaskan Wilderness Woman and nothing is going to stop her, especially after she gets a look at her hunky neighbor, pilot Michael Casey. Reality in Alaska is a vast difference from what she saw on the internet.
She wants to find love and get married and her job just isn't allowing her the time she needs to pursue this goal, so she quits her job, dumps her condo and heads to Alaska to a cabin and a hardware store business she found on the internet. Alexandra Scott is tired of her fast-paced life in New Jersey and is looking for a lifestyle change. If you're looking for something light and sweet, this will hit the spot.
But keep sharp implements out of reach, because eyes are handy for activities other than reading and you might forget that halfway through this delightful novel.Ĭute, funny romance. Should you also possess the mile-wide masochistic streak I apparently do, as I read through to the end, have at it. But anything approaching frisky had all the smolder of a very wet, very dead dog, ended abruptly (forget 'fade to black' the shutters were slammed shut so fast you had to kiss your fingers goodbye), and referred to with the oh-so-realistic trumpet of "That was glorious!" Retch. This could all have been overlooked to some degree at least had there been some deliciously hot love scenes. How they managed to walk upright, let alone supposedly survive in the Alaskan wilderness is beyond me. The dialogue and inner monologues were daft and woefully outdated and the characters were, at best, complete gibbering morons.
In fact, this little book seemingly reveled in sloshing through the shallowest end of the intelligence pool.
I am a huge sucker for the formulaic romance and enjoy the old over-the-top fun romp, but there has to be some emotional investment in the characters for me to give a damn, and this made no effort to provide anything resembling depth. I hate to be such a hater, but it literally made my head hurt, it was that ridiculously banal and trite.
