Synopsis:
A soldier has six weeks to convince the only woman he has ever longed for to take a chance on life with him in Alaska….
Sara’s letters were the only bright spot during Gabe’s devastating tour in Iraq. With each new correspondence he fell harder, needed her more, wanted to be with her. Now, after initially rejecting his offer to meet, she’s shown up at the door of his isolated cabin in Alaska looking for…what? Gabe’s not sure what made Sara change her mind, but he knows he never wants to let her go.
Major Gabe Randall is everything Sara Ryan wants but nothing she feels she deserves. A modern-day spinster, Sara hides behind family obligations and the safe, quiet life she’s resigned herself to living. But secretly, even though she may have stretched the truth about who she is in her letters to him, she wants Gabe. Will he still want her when he discovers the real woman behind the pen?
Once they meet, Gabe asks her for six weeks in Alaska. Six weeks to spend getting to know each other, and then she’ll have to decide whether they are better together or apart.
Review:
What a cute story! I absolutely loved the relationship between Gabe and Sarah. I felt like it developed very naturally and didn’t seem forced at all. They were lighthearted and fun, and I found myself laughing on several occasions. The military stuff all seemed very well researched and mostly realistic – which I always look for in a military romance. Ya girl gets very upset when it seems likes authors know nothing about how any of that works. But this one was great! I thought to myself several times “Hey! That’s actually how that works!” Which probably doesn’t make any difference to 90% of readers… but if you care about that… this is for you! Moving on from this weird little tangent..
Sarah’s family was the worst! I wanted to reach through the pages and give them a good shake – though they deserved much worse. Overall, this book was great (with plenty of steam)!
