I never read Harlequin Blaze until very recently, and
Jennifer LaBrecque's NORTHERN EXPOSURE has totally turned me
into a convert. I'm totally ready to pack up my bags and
move to Alaska.
NORTHERN EXPOSURE is the story of Dr. Skye Shanahan and
Dalton Saunders. Skye is forced to go to Alaska for 2 weeks
to fill in for another Doctor on the orders of her mother.
Her mother assumed that Skye and the doctor would fall in
love. She didn't realize that the doctor was
going on vacation, and they would never meet. Instead, she
meets Dalton Saunders, the Bush pilot who flies her to Good
Riddance.
Dalton is the quintessential bachelor in that he lives on a
lake by himself. He came to Good Riddance after his father
died. Dalton left behind a great job and a fiance to move to
Alaska and fly bush planes. He is not looking for a
girlfriend or a wife. He meets Skye and all his sense goes
out the window. He becomes the boyfriend that all women
wish to have; he is sweet, considerate, caring and very
romantic.
Skye and Dalton have a great banter between them that is
funny, intelligent, and engaging. I raced through the book
wanting to read their dialogue. Their love story is so sweet
and romantic. It was never cheesy or hard to read. Its often
hard to believe that a love story can be told in 224 pages
but it really can. All the characters were funny and
likable. NORTHERN EXPOSURE is an excellent start to the
Alaskan Heat miniseries. I can't wait to read the next
two.
Escaping the corporate rat race was the best thing Dalton
Saunders ever did. Now he's living life at a breakneck speed
as an Alaskan bush pilot, doing what he wants, when he
wants. There's no adventure he hasn't
experienced….
Until Dr. Skye Shanahan rolls into
town.
Skye Shanahan isn't quite sure how she ended up
in Good Riddance. Sure, she needed some time to evaluate
where her life was heading, but this is ridiculous. Luckily,
she's only here for two weeks. She can handle it until
then.
What she wants to handle, though, is
Dalton. The sexy pilot has her feeling out of her
element…and desperate to get into his bed. And once there,
she's not inclined to leave.
But when the time comes,
will she be able to let go?
